ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780071472937
Product Description:
Manage everyday calculations instantly and accurately-saving you
time in the design, construction, and maintenance of all types of
structures
Covering all aspects of civil engineering calculations in an
easy-to-understand format, the new edition of the Handbook of Civil
Engineering Calculations is now revised and updated with over 500 key
calculations that show you exactly how to compute the desired values
for a particular design-going quickly from data to finished result.
Using both customary and SI units, this comprehensive engineer's
must-have resource is exactly what you need to solve the civil
engineering problems that come your way. From structural steel to
reinforced concrete, from bridges and dams to highways and roads,
Handbook of Civil Engineering Calculations, 2e, lets you handle all of
these design calculations quickly-and more importantly, correctly.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
Updated calculation procedures using the latest applicable design
codes for everything-from structural steel to reinforced concrete, from
water supply to highways, freeways, roads, and more
A wealth of new illustrated calculation procedures to provide better guidance for the design engineer
New
civil-engineering data on “green” buildings and their design, better
qualifying them for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) ratings
Inside This Cutting-Edge Engineering Calculations Guide-
Structural Steel Engineering and Design • Reinforced and Prestressed
Concrete Engineering and Design • Timber Engineering • Soil Mechanics •
Surveying, Route Design, and Highway Bridges • Fluid Mechanic, Pumps,
Piping, and Hydro Power • Water Supply Table of contents

Biographical note
Tyler G. Hicks, PE is a consulting engineer
and a successful engineering book author. He has worked in plant design
and operation in a variety of industries, taught at several engineering
schools, and lectured both in the United States and abroad. He holds a
bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cooper Union School of
Engineering in New York. The author of over 20 books in engineering and
related fields.
Summary: Calculations galore
Rating: 5
Any engineering calculation can be found in this book. I am not an
engineer but I bought it since I am a Land Surveyor and it has a
chapter on Route surveying.
I am fully satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to any
person requiring these types of formula. Engineers, land surveyors,
Architects, etc.

Rating: 1
Text and contents good and useful -- however, printed on thick grey
paper with stiff binding, book will not stay open (snaps shut unless
held down) making book troublesome and near unusable.
Summary: A useful tool for civil engineering design calculations!
Rating: 4
This is a very useful comprehensive reference covering all aspects
of civil engineering calculations in an easy to understand format.
There are numerous solved problems to illustrate calculation procedure.
