An update of a classic textbook covering a core subject taught on most
civil engineering courses. Civil Engineering Hydraulics, 6th edition
contains substantial worked example sections with an online solutions
manual: Hydraulics underpins many topics in the water and environmental area
of civil engineering. Water engineers work to ensure that we have a
sustainable water supply, developing ever more efficient means of
collecting, storing and distributing water for domestic, industrial and
irrigation purposes. They also deal with drainage, sewerage, flood
alleviation and coastal engineering. This
well-established textbook covers a core subject taught on most civil
engineering courses. Expanded and revised by a syllabus expert who draws
on wide experience in professional practice and university teaching of
hydraulics, the new edition includes a new chapter on coastal
engineering and has been updated to reflect current practice and course
requirements. Civil Engineering Hydraulics, 6th edition contains substantial worked example sections with an online solutions
manual. A strength of the book has always been in its presentation these
exercises, distinguishing it from other books on hydraulics and
enabling students to test their understanding of the theory and of the
methods of analysis and design. This classic text
provides a succinct introduction to the theory of civil engineering
hydraulics, together with a large number of worked examples and exercise
problems. Each chapter contains theory sections and worked examples,
followed by a list of recommended reading and references. There are
further problems as a useful resource for students to tackle, and
exercises to enable students to assess their understanding. The
numerical answers to these are at the back of the book, and solutions
are available to download from the publisher’s website: www.wiley.com/go/marriott. Civil Engineering Hydraulics
will be invaluable throughout a student's course – from initial
principles to more advanced applications. By focussing on the problems
most commonly encountered in hydraulic engineering, it will also be
welcomed by practising engineers as a concise reference.
