The Civil Engineer's Handbook: A Convenient Reference Book for Chainmen, Rodmen, Transitmen, Levelers, Surveyors, As Well As Draftsmen, Computers, and Railroad, Municipal, and Hydraulic Engineers - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
In this little volume the publishers are offering to all who are interested a compact collection of principles, methods, formulas, and tables pertaining to the different branches of civil engineering. It is intended as a ready reference manual for the student as well as for the technical man engaged in practical work. For this reason, whenever there was a choice of rules or methods, only the simplest and those best suited to practical use were selected. For the same reason, wherever possible, examples such as would occur in practice have been given, together with their solutions, thus illustrating the different steps and processes to be performed in order to obtain practical results. Attention is called to the tables, which are very numerous. Many of these can be found elsewhere only in special works, and many are original, being found only in this book.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
