Synopsis:

THE source for the state of the art in civil engineering The only one-stop review of the state of the art in the field,Standard Handbook for Civil Engineers,Fourth Edition,edited by Frederick S. Merrit,M. Kent Loftin,and Jonathan T. Rickets,gives you fingertip access to everything from the fundamentals of civil engineering to the most recent planning,design,and construction techniques related to 23 different disciplines—including systems design,geotechnical engineering,and community and regional planning. Over 700 Tables,formulas,and drawing make every explantion and procedure crystal clear. Inside you'll find the latest: ACI,ASTM,and AISC code changes; changes in highway and airport pavement design and construction; procedures for nondestructive testing of piles and applications of geosynthetics; EPA and OSHA regulations; methods of load-and-resistance factor design of structural steel; specifications for wood construction and much more.

A COMPLETE UPDATE OF THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO CIVIL ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

Now revised and updated with the most current information,the fourth edition of this long-established reference is the most comprehensive and authoritative book of principles and techniques for effective civil engineering practice.

The new edition of STANDARD HANDBOOK FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS incorporates hundreds of significant changes in design,construction,materials,and equipment,including:
* Code changes from the ACI,ASTM,and AISC
* New speicifications for wood construction
* The most recent EPA and OSHA regulations
* Changes in highway and airport pavement design
* Expanded coverage of harbor engineering
* Additionalinformation about water resources
* State-of-the-art modeling techniques You'll also find new methods for nondestructive testing of piles and applications of geosynthetics. . . the lates techniques of load-and-resistance factor design of structural steels. . .

Review: ...contains much useful information and many equations, tables, and facts needed in many aspects of civil engineering...well written...easy to read...Highly recommended.

The fifth edition of this reference in civil engineering features coverage of recent 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. There is also new information on three-dimensional. modeling of pile groups, cracking in high strength steel beams, intelligent transportation, and various types of wharf designs. Coverage encompasses fundamentals of civil engineering and the latest changes in design, construction, materials, and equipment in 23 different disciplines. including systems design, geotechnical engineering, and community and regional planning. Ricketts is a consulting engineer..
