About this title

Book Description:

A comprehensive reference covering all aspects of civil engineering calculations. Each topic will be explained and illustrated using a worked-out applied calculation procedure. This major handbook will include everything from structural design to environmental engineering calculations and procedures.

From the Back Cover:

Manage everyday calculations instantly and accurately-saving you time in
the design, construction, and maintenance of all types of structures

Covering all aspects of civil engineering calculations in an
easy-to-understand format, the new edition of the Handbook of Civil
Engineering Calculations is now 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.

Using both customary and SI units, this comprehensive engineer's must-have
resource is exactly what you need to solve the civil engineering problems
that come your way. From structural steel to reinforced concrete, from
bridges and dams to highways and roads, Handbook of Civil Engineering
Calculations, 2e, lets you handle all of these design calculations
quickly-and more importantly, correctly.

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

Updated calculation procedures using the latest applicable design codes for
everything-from structural steel to reinforced concrete, from water supply
to highways, freeways, roads, and more
A wealth of new illustrated calculation procedures to provide better
guidance for the design engineer
New civil-engineering data on "green" buildings and their design, better
qualifying them for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
