Construction Engineering Design Calculations and Rules of Thumb

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 mathematics behind the equations 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 to completion. Packed with easy to read and understand tables, schematics, and calculations.Includes examples with step by step Calculations in both in US and SI metric UnitsProvides users with an illustrated easy-to-understand approach to equations and calculations methods INDICE: Construction - General IntroductionSite WorkConcrete ConstructionSteel ConstructionConstruction EquipmentEarthwork Construction and LayoutSite Layout and Control Highway Curves (Horizontal and Vertical Curves) Trench ExcavationsConstruction Stakes and Markings Earthwork Mass Diagrams Quantity Takeoff and Cost EstimatingEquipment DepreciationEngineering AnalysisEarned Value Management Construction Operations and MethodsDewatering in ConstructionPumps and Pump Curves SchedulingMaterial Quality ControlTemporary StructuresLoads During ConstructionWorker Health, Safety, and EnvironmentTemporary Traffic ControlConstruction Management
