Simplified Site Engineering

Contains all the information needed to produce complete and accurate site plans. It is the only work entirely devoted to the solution of landscape and drainage problems that recur so frequently in the preparation of site plans.

The classic reference for structural design and construction—completely revised and updated Approaching its eighth decade as the industry leader, Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders remains the reference of choice for designers and constructors. This new Eleventh Edition is thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest practices in the design of structures. Long considered a standard in the field, this perennial bestseller provides a clear, accessible presentation of the engineering information that is essential for architects and builders. Offering a concise, highly readable introduction to the investigation and design of ordinary structures for buildings—including information on structural analysis, materials, and systems—this thoroughly updated Eleventh Edition includes: The latest building and material codes A fresh look at the LRFD method as well as the ASD method of structural design A revised section on the principles of structural mechanics for the latest generation of designers and builders Essential formulas for the solution of structural problems More than 200 descriptive illustrations A companion Web site that now provides access to the Study Guide to Accompany Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders An unparalleled resource for students and professionals in architecture, construction, and civil engineering, Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders, Eleventh Edition boils structural engineering down to its essentials and provides the simple design solutions that are used for the vast majority of buildings.

A concise, highly accessible source for site engineeringbasics. This updated edition of Parker's classic text introduces the basicissues, tasks, and problems of site engineering to students andprofessionals who need to understand the significance of surveyingdata. It presents the fundamentals of site engineering --surveyingand mapping, drainage, slope stabilization, and basic structures--and explains in detail the solutions to a wide variety ofproblems, including: * Interpretation of deed descriptions * Dimensioning buildings and sites when angles are other than rightangles * Computing areas for irregular plots * Dimensioning and laying out circular curves for driveways andbuildings * And much more. Featuring a simplified, accessible style with numerous examples ofproblems and their solutions, as well as references and practicalaids that facilitate home study, this is the ideal surveying andsite-planning primer for students in architecture, landscapearchitecture, and civil and structural engineering. It is also anexcellent handbook for working architects, building contractors,and professionals in related fields.

Diese neue, überarbeitete Ausgabe behandelt die für Bauingenieure und Architekten so wichtigen Themenkomplexe wie Drainageuntersuchungen, Planumserneuerungen und Baustellenvermessungs und -planungstechniken. Ferner enthält sie mit CAD-Technik erstellte Karten und behandelt die neuesten Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Laser Technologie und Umwelttechnik. (10/97)

Examines the general problems of designing and constructing sites for buildings. Coverage includes: site construction and planning, placing buildings on sites, landscape planning, drainage, site traffic for vehicles and pedestrians, parking, lighting, handicap facilities and much more.

Designed to give non-engineers an understanding of systems engineering, Systems Engineering Simplified presents a gentle introduction to the subject and its importance in any profession. The book shows you how to look at any system as a whole and use this knowledge to gain a better understanding of where a system might break down, how to troublesho

"Major revision of this classic reference is reorganized and updated to reflect the latest practices in the design of structures. Since 1938, Simplified Engineering for Architect and Builders has endured as the reference of choice for designers and constructors who need to know the practical procedures for the design of commonly used structures for buildings. Covering both the LRFD and ASD methods for structural design, Simplified Engineering is the go-to book for those working on the design of steel, wood, concrete and masonry building structures"--

The main aim of this book is to demonstrate the fundamental theory of advanced solid mechanics through simplified derivations with details illustrations to deliver the principal concepts. It covers all conceptual principals on two- and three-dimensional stresses, strains, stress-strain relations, theory of elasticity and theory of plasticity in any type of solid materials including anisotropic, orthotropic, homogenous and isotropic. Detailed explanation and clear diagrams and drawings are accompanied with the use of proper jargons and notations to present the ideas and appropriate guide the readers to explore the core of the advanced solid mechanics backed by case studies and examples. Aimed at undergraduate, senior undergraduate students in advanced solid mechanics, solid mechanics, strength of materials, civil/mechanical engineering, this book Provides simplified explanation and detailed derivation of correlation and formula implemented in advanced solid mechanics Covers state of two and three-dimensional stresses and strains in solid materials in various conditions Describes principal constitutive models for various type of materials include of anisotropic, orthotropic, homogenous and isotropic materials. Includes stress-strain relation and theory of elasticity for solid materials. Explores inelastic behaviour of material, theory of plasticity and yielding criteria.
