The best book is the Procedure Handbook, it covers a wide range of welding topics including calculations.  Its a must for any one seriously interested in welding.  It cost £16 Inc. Postage in 1999, its available from :-

Anybody seriously interested in engineering calculations should consider a copy of  ROARK’S Formulas for stress & Strain, its available from most decent book shops for around £20.

I would also recommend the J.G.Hicks book, it covers the calculation requirements for the European Welding Engineer syllabus. Its available from Abingdon Publishing, Abington Hall, Cambridge, England.

The Steel Designers Manual is another good book covering a wide range of structural engineering topics
