Standard handbook for civil engineers, (5^th Ed.)

This volume presents a revision of the classic reference covering all important principles and techniques needed by practicing civil engineers. This new edition incorporates changes in design and construction practices, especially in design specifications for construction materials, buildings and bridges, safety and health concerns, and the most current codes changes including AIC, AISC, ASTM, NDS for wood structures. This book covers systems 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.
