New content is this second edition that spans the world of civil engineering. To assist the civil engineer using these formulas in worldwide engineering practice, a comprehensive tabulation of conversion factors is presented in Chap. Hence, the content of this book is usable throughout the world. Each formula is explained so the engineer, drafter, or designer knows how, where, and when to use the formula in professional work.įormula units are given in both the United States Customary System (USCS) and System International (SI). Key formulas are presented for each of the major topics listed above. Some 500 formulas and guides have been added to this second edition of the book. The book presents formulas needed in 13 different specialized branches of civil engineering-beams and girders, columns, piles and piling, concrete structures, timber engineering, surveying, soils and earthwork, building structures, bridges, suspension cables, highways and roads, hydraulics and open channel flow, stormwater, sewage, sanitary wastewater, and environmental protection. These formulas and guides are also useful to design drafters, structural engineers, bridge engineers, foundation builders, field engineers, professional-engineer license examination candidates, concrete specialists, timber-structure builders, and students in a variety of civil engineering pursuits.
