Riassunto

Consulting engineer Choi hopes that applied civil engineering design will one day be taught in a civil engineering curriculum so young engineers will not have to learn on the job. If so, he suggests his book as a textbook. Meanwhile, he explains to young practitioners and students how to prepare final design documents, but expects that more senior engineers and contractors might want to take a peek at the information now and then as well. He covers the reason for and function of the documents, construction drawings, technical specifications, and cost estimate. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Product Description

"Principles of Applied Civil Engineering Design", a pioneer reference in the civil engineering profession, details the guidelines, principles, and philosophy needed to produce design documents for heavy civil engineering projects. The interrelationships among contract documents, site characterization, construction documents, and construction cost estimates are explained. This book features numerous examples and illustrations on drawing preparation, specification writing, and estimating construction costs. In addition to introducing conventional and standard practice and basic principles to prepare quality documents, Dr. Choi offers advice and recommendations, especially on topics of design philosophy, loss prevention, and roles and responsibilities of design team members. Additionally, the book discusses the metric system, computer-aided drafting (CAD), certifying design, and measurement and payment provisions.
