Edited by W.f. Chen, J.Y. Richard Liew

The civil engineering handbook second edition has been revised and updated to provide a comprehensive reference work and resource book covering the broad spectrum of civil engineering.

The civil engineering handbook second edition has been written with the practicing civil engineer in mind.

The ideal reader will be a BS- or MSclevel engineer with a need for a single reference source to use to keep abreast of new techniques and practices as well as to review standard practices.

The Handbook stresses professional applications, placing great emphasis on ready-to-use materials. It contains many formulas and tables that give immediate solutions to common questions and problems arising from practical work.

It also contains a brief description of the essential elements of each subject, thus enabling the reader to understand the fundamental background of these results and to think beyond them.

Traditional as well as new and innovative practices are covered.

As a result of rapid advances in computer technology and information technology, a revolution has occurred in civil engineering research and practice.

A new aspect, information technology and computing, has been added to the theoretical and experimental aspects of the field to form the basis of civil engineering.
