Materials for Civil and Construction
Engineers, 3/e is ideal for courses in Civil Engineering
Materials, Construction Materials, and Construction Methods and
Materials offered in Civil, Environmental, or Construction
engineering departments.
This introduction gives students a basic understanding of the material selection process and the behavior of materials — a fundamental requirement for all civil and construction engineers performing design, construction, and maintenance. The authors cover the various materials used by civil and construction engineers in one useful reference, limiting the vast amount of information available to the introductory level, concentrating on current practices, and extracting information that is relevant to the general education of civil and construction engineers. A large number of experiments, figures, sample problems, test methods, and homework problems gives students opportunity for practice and review.

The Fourth Edition of the Hornbook on Civil Procedure gives a
straightforward, “no-nonsense” assessment of the law as it
exists, including the highlighting of areas where cases conflict or
there is some other uncertainty in the law. This method of direct
analysis provides answers when needed, benefiting students,
professors, and practitioners alike. Important new cases have been
added or substituted as the situation dictates; some of the most
dramatic alterations in the material involve significant amendments
to the Federal Discovery Rules promulgated after the last edition.

For Henry David Thoreau, there was no separation between public
politics and personal principle. "On the Duty of Civil
Disobedience" is his famous account of the night he spent in
jail for refusing to pay taxes to a government that supported
slavery and waged war. His impassioned stand for justice later
inspired Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and many other peaceful
revolutionaries. This volume includes Thoreau's other important
political writings: "A Plea for Captain John Brown," "Life
Without Principle," and the poem "Independence."

How does a city obtain water, gas, and electricity? Where do these
services come from? How are they transported? The answer is
infrastructure, or the inner, and sometimes invisible, workings of
the city. Roads, railroads, bridges, telephone wires, and power
lines are visible elements of the infrastructure; sewers, plumbing
pipes, wires, tunnels, cables, and sometimes rails are usually
buried underground or hidden behind walls. Engineering the City
tells the fascinating story of infrastructure as it developed
through history along with the growth of cities. Experiments, games,
and construction diagrams show how these structures are built, how
they work, and how they affect the environment of the city and the
land outside it.

| Series: Projects and Principles
Students discover the basic principles necessary to build all types
of structures used in everyday life including bridges, skyscrapers,
and other architectural gems. Line art illustrations help to explain
projects that demonstrate how these principles keep structures
solid. Perfect for kids who wonder why, and love to figure things
out! All projects are easily done with materials found
around-the-house.

There is a growing understanding that to be
competitive at an international level, civil engineers not only must
build on their traditional strengths in technology and science but
also must acquire greater mastery of the business of civil
engineering. Project management, teamwork, ethics, leadership, and
communication have been defined as essential to the successful
practice of civil engineering by the ASCE in the 2008 landmark
publication, Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st
Century (BOK2). This single-source guide is the first to take
the practical skills defined by the ASCE BOK2 and provide
illuminating techniques, quotes, case examples, problems, and
information to assist the reader in addressing the many challenges
facing civil engineers in the real world. Civil Engineer's
Handbook of Professional Practice:
- Focuses on the business and management aspects of a civil engineer's job, providing students and practitioners with sound business management principles
- Addresses contemporary issues such as permitting, globalization, sustainability, and emerging technologies
- Offers proven methods for balancing speed, quality, and price with contracting and legal issues in a client-oriented profession
- Includes guidance on juggling career goals, life outside work, compensation, and growth
From the challenge of sustainability to the
rigors of problem recognition and solving, this book is an essential
tool for those practicing civil engineering.
