Civil engineer’s reference book fourth edition

Edited By L S Blake

After an examination of fundamental theories as applied to civil engineering, authoritative coverage is included on design practice for certain materials and specific structures and applications.

A particular feature is the incorporation of chapters on construction and site practice, including contract management and control.

The aim of this edition, as of those that preceded it, is to give civil engineers a concise presentation of theory and practice in the many branches of their profession.

Civil engineer’s reference book fourth edition is primarily a first point of reference which, through its selective lists of references and bibliographies.

These will enable the user to study a subject in greater depth. However, it is also an important collection of state-of-the-art reports on design and construction practices in the UK and overseas.

 

First published in 1951, the book was last revised in 1975. Although civil engineering is not normally regarded as involving fast-moving technologies.

So many advances have occurred in the theory and practice of most branches of civil engineering during the past decade or so that the preparation of a fourth edition became essential.

Some of these advances have taken the form of improvements in earlier practices, for example in surveying, geotechnics, water management, project management, underwater working, and the control and use of materials.

Other radical changes have resulted from the evolving needs of clients for almost all forms of construction, maintenance and repair.

Another major change has been the introduction of new national and Euro-codes based on limit state design covering most aspects of structural engineering.

Civil engineer’s reference book fourth edition incorporates these advances and, at the same time, gives greater prominence to the special problems relating to work overseas, with differing client requirements and climatic conditions.
