Civil Engineering: Guides & Handbooks

Practical approach to the basic notions, formulas, equations, problems, theorems, methods, and laws that most frequently occur in scientific and engineering applications and university education.

Presents information on nearly every aspect of civil engineering, including design techniques, construction methods, instrumentation, material properties, and calculations.

Material is divided into 30 sections that offer information on classical fields, such as mechanical, electrical civil, chemical, and environmental engineering, as well as the underlying fields of mathematics, materials, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology.

Divided into 5 sections--project management, equipment, materials, construction types, and case studies--this reference puts 1,000 pages of essential data at your fingertips, including: excavation; safety; paving; equipment economics; loaders; timber/steel construction; belt conveyors; marine equipment; scapers; cranes; partnering; engineering fundamentals; contracts; scheduling; hauling; soil surfacing; quality control; much more.

Features coverage of code changes, including AIC, ASTM, and NDS for Wood Structures, and current EPA and OSHA regulations, plus expanded information on design build delivery systems and increased coverage of stormwater runoff.

Revised and updated with over 500 key calculations that show you exactly how to compute the desired values for a particular design-going quickly from data to finished result.
