Civil Engineering Formulas, Second Edition
by: Tyler G. Hicks
Abstract: A completely revised, guide to civil engineering formulas–with more than 500 new formulas. Fully updated, this portable reference contains all the essential formulas and equations civil engineers need for a wide variety of design applications–covering everything from structural analysis to soil mechanics. Civil Engineering Formulas, Second Edition includes new details on green buildings, water supply and treatment, power-generating wind turbines, reinforced concrete, bridge construction, highway design, and more. Each chapter includes collections of problems and calculations with solution advice.
