Handbook on Civil Engineering - Tapa dura

Acerca del autor

bridges are often the first constructions that come to mind, as they are the most conspicuous creations of structural engineering, once of civil engineering s major sub-disciplines. Roads, railroads, subway systems and airports are designed by transportation engineers, another category of civil engineering. These few examples illustrate that civil engineers do a lot more that design buildings and bridges. The handbook covers system design, community and regional planning, the latest design methods for buildings, airports, highways, tunnels and bridges. It includes sections on construction equipment, construction management, materials, specifications, structural theory, geotechnical engineering, wood, concrete, steel design and construction. The handbook encompasses all the formulae and important theoretical aspects of Civil Engineering, with appropriate diagrams, whenever it is appropriate. An extensive coverage of key points for additional information is also given.
