As an engineer working in the field, you can''t bring along a library of technical materials for every problem that might arise. You need a compact portable reference containing the wide range of technical data necessary to conduct preliminary surveys ... solve field problems ... evaulate construction plans ... select building materials ... and deal with hundreds of other unpredictable situations.

For more than two decades, professional engineers, contractors, and project supervisors have turned to Parmley''s FIELD ENGINEER''S MANUAL for instant access to reliable data on hydraulics * erosion control * drainage * construction materials * welding * sewage collection * water supply and storage * fire protection * energy and fuels * geology and soils * athletic facilities and more.

Completely revised, this Third Edition includes new sections on sewage treatment, streets and roads, and rope tying, as well as expanded and updated coverage of field inspection, electricity, HVAC, surveying, drainage, safety and first aid, and much more.

Along with an attractive new layout that makes accessing information even easier, this complete working tool comes all-inclusive with over 400 illustrations, mathematical formulas, conversion tables, information on SI units, and a comprehensive cross-referenced index.

When it comes to civil engineering, handy access to the right schematics and plans can mean the difference between a winning idea—and a concept that dies on the drawing board. That’s why if adding efficiencies to your work as an engineer is essential, McGraw-Hill’s Civil Engineer’s Illustrated Sourcebook is the one volume you shouldn''t be without.

Written by a noted engineering expert with lengthy consultative experience, Civil Engineer’s Illustrated Sourcebook provides practical, step-by-step information on a broad array of engineering processes. From planning, materials, and design to bidding, construction, and more, this book will show how using a consistent organizational methodology will add power and quality to your work. Plus, the book also delivers:* Practical charts, tables, plans, and other data encountered in everyday practice* Plan layouts from actual engineering projects* Source material from a wide variety of engineering projects* And much, much more!

Robust enough for civil engineers, contractors, technicians, and architects—and still relevant for students pursing engineering degrees and certifications—Civil Engineer’s Illustrated Sourcebook will add a world of invaluable insight to how you do your work!
