This edition incorporates significant changes in design and construction practices, specifically in design specifications for structural materials, buildings and bridges, environmental and other federal regulations such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA). Up-to-date code changes from such groups as the American Concrete Institute, American Society for Testing and Materials, American Institute of Steel Construction and National Design Specification for Wood Construction are also covered.

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.
