E-grāmata: Civil Engineering Formulas

Aimed at design drafters, structural and bridge engineers, builders, field engineers, examination candidates, concrete specialists, and students, this volume compiles about 2,500 essential formulas and equations in all 13 specialties of civil engineering, along with explanations of formulas for topics such as beams and girders, piles and piling, concrete structures, timber engineering, surveying, soils and earthwork, building structures, bridges and suspension cables, highways and roads, wind turbines, and green buildings. Hicks (engineering, US Naval Institute) presents data in USCS and SI units, and updates this edition with about 500 more formulas and guides. It covers new topics like columns for supporting commercial wind turbines used in renewable energy projects, design of axially loaded steel columns, strain energy in structural members, shaft twist formulas, retaining wall formulas and data, solid-wood rectangular column design, blasting operations for earth and rock removal, dams, comparisons of key hydraulic formulas, and a new chapter on stormwater, sewage, sanitary wastewater, and environmental protection.
