Construction Engineering Design Calculations and Rules of Thumb 1st Edition

Construction Engineering Calculations and Rules of Thumb begins with a brief, but rigorous, introduction to the mathematics behind the equations that is followed by self-contained chapters concerning applications for all aspects of construction engineering. Design examples with step-by-step solutions, along with a generous amount of tables, schematics, and calculations are provided to facilitate more accurate solutions through all phases of a project, from planning, through construction and completion. Review Provides a step-by-step view of the calculations, formulas, and equations applied to everyday construction engineering operations From the Back Cover In a world of plug and play, many construction engineers have no real idea of the inner working of a calculation or the process as a whole, knowing the right calculation is 90% of being successful. Construction Engineering Calculations and Rules of Thumb begins with a brief but rigorous introduction to the
