Synopsis

For undergraduate Engineering and Engineering Technology courses in Civil, Building, Surveying, Construction, and Natural Resources programs.

This streamlined, fully updated Fourth Edition maintains the same accessible, applications-driven approach as its predecessors―beginning with a firm foundation in the principles of surveying, then supporting this foundation with real-world construction applications. While Kavanagh does reflect the latest developments in techniques and instrumentation, coverage also includes in-depth discussions of more traditional topics.

About this title

Review:

"Students always comment positively on this text for readability. It's the best text I've found to integrate fundamental land surveying with construction." ― Dianne Kay, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville

From the Back Cover:

The principles and techniques of surveying are applied to a wide variety of realistic construction project applications.

Some of the key features of this new edition include:

• In more challenging areas such as bearing/azimuth computations, there are numerous examples showing a modest and appropriate level of math in a clear and direct style.
• Expanded coverage of the new digital electronic instrumentation and its application in areas such as Geographic Positioning Systems (GPS).
• Civil engineering and technology applications are offered in such areas as highway construction design and municipal construction.
