Hibbeler Engineering Mechanics: Statics in SI Units, 12e provides students with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and applications of this subject. By improving on the content, pedagogy, presentation and currency over the 12 editions, Hibbeler's Engineering Mechanics series is renowned for its clarity of explanation and robust problem sets; making it the best-selling course text for this subject.
For undergraduate courses in Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering Technology, Survey Engineering, and Resources Engineering and Technology. Known for its state-of-the-art coverage and clear, concise approach, Surveying with Construction Applications, Seventh Edition covers the latest advances and foundational principles of surveying. Emphasizing instrumentation technology, field data capture, and data-processing techniques, this text highlights real-world applications of surveying to the construction and engineering fields. Reflecting additional complexities in electronic distance measurement, the order of presentation of surveying topics has been revised in this edition. Revisions and updates focus on topics where the technology and applications are still evolving.
For courses in Reinforced Concrete Design, Concrete Construction, Structures, Structural Analysis/Design, and Concrete in Architecture. Reinforced Concrete Design, 7e provides a non-calculus, practical approach to the design, analysis, and detailing of reinforced concrete structural members using numerous examples and a step-by-step solution format. Written with practicality and accessibility in mind, the text does not require calculus; it focuses on the math and fundamentals that are most appropriate for construction, architectural, and engineering technology programs. Revised to conform to the latest ACI code (ACI 318-08), this edition retains its unique chapters on prestressed concrete, formwork design and detailing, expanded coverage of columns, over 150 homework problems, and numerous sample problems complete with step-by-step solutions.
For undergraduate courses in Structural Steel Design as well as Steel Structures. Structural Steel Design: A Practice-Oriented Approach, 1e takes a holistic approach by showing how each individual component design in a steel-framed building is incorporated into a complete building design as one would find in practice. It covers topics that are pertinent to everyday structural design of steel-framed buildings, plus others not commonly found in a text including framing layout, design ?rules of thumb?, floor vibrations, structural strengthening, and torsion. These key topics are essential to preparing students for designing with structural steel in the real world. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice, helping students learn the basics of steel design and how to practically apply that learning to real-world steel framed building projects
The nature of engineering has fundamentally changed. This book is both a handbook and manifesto for engineers of all types that shows how building more techno-responsible and eco-efficient products can translate to higher profits for businesses and an accelerated career path for engineers.
For one or two semester courses in Construction Methods and Materials and Design courses in Architecture.
The science of building construction and design is evolving more quickly than ever before. The ?2009 Update? of this outstanding text builds on the previous version and incorporates the latest updates available. Written by an author team with decades of experience in architecture, building construction, engineering, and teaching, Building Construction: Principles, Materials & Systems 2009 Update is a comprehensive and fully illustrated introduction to construction methods and materials. Continuing on with the books unique organization?Principles of Construction are covered in Part One and Materials and Systems of Construction are covered in Part Two?allows for complete coverage of both the basic principles and specific materials and systems of building construction.
For courses in Construction Project Administration, Construction Project Management, Construction Administration, Construction Management.
Using simple, straightforward language, this text addresses how a successful construction project is managed and administered from design through construction to closeout. With the goal of uniting the key stakeholders (contractors, architects, engineers, etc) and providing them with a workable system for operating as an effective construction team, Construction Project Administration reflects the latest technology, laws and regulations. Topics pertinent to each stage of a project are introduced and discussed as they occur throughout the life of the project. Numerous real-world examples are included.

MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that lets you focus on your course work and applications, rather than on programming details. It enables you to solve many numerical problems in a fraction of the time it takes to write a program in a lower-level language such as Java, C, C++, or Fortran. You can also use MATLAB to analyze and visualize data using automation capabilities, thereby avoiding the manual repetition common with other products.
The MATLAB in Student Version provides all the features and capabilities of the professional version of MATLAB software, with no limitations. There are a few small differences between the Student Version interface and the professional version of MATLAB:
