Soil Mechanics And Foundations is written especially for students pursuing civil engineering. It provides a comprehensive understanding of soil characteristics and properties. It even contains experiments to help students gain a practical insight into soil mechanics. With all structures having earth as its common foundation, its essential that students of civil engineering understand this main component. A safe structure can only be built when there is thorough knowledge of its foundation. This book contains 34 chapters and covers topics like Clay Mineralogy, Well Hydraulics, Stress Distribution, Compaction, Stability of Slopes, Well, Pile and Machine Foundations, Bulkheads and Cofferdams, Stabilisation of Soils, Permeability, and more.

For more than 30 years, soil testing has been widely used as a basis for determining lime and fertilizer needs. Today, a number of procedures are used for determining everything from soil pH and lime requirement, to the level of extractable nutrient elements. And as the number of cropped fields being tested increases, more and more farmers and growers will come to rely on soil test results. But if soil testing is to be an effective means of evaluating the fertility status of soils, standardization of methodology is essential. No single test is appropriate for all soils. Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods is a standard laboratory technique manual for the most commonly used soil analysis procedures. First published in 1974, this Handbook has changed over the years to reflect evolving needs. New test methods and modifications have been added, as well as new sections on nitrate, heavy metals, and quality assurance plans for agricultural testing laboratories. Compiled by the Soil and Plant Analysis Council, this latest edition of Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods also addresses the major methods for managing plant nutrition currently in use in the United States and other parts of the world. For soil scientists, farmers, growers, or anyone with an interest in the environment, this reference will prove an invaluable guide to standard methods for soil testing well into the future.

Although pseudocodes, Mathematica®, and MATLAB® illustrate how algorithms work, designers of engineering systems write the vast majority of large computer programs in the Fortran language. Using Fortran 95 to solve a range of practical engineering problems, Numerical Methods for Engineers, Second Edition provides an introduction to numerical methods, incorporating theory with concrete computing exercises and programmed examples of the techniques presented. Covering a wide range of numerical applications that have immediate relevancy for engineers, the book describes forty-nine programs in Fortran 95. Many of the programs discussed use a sub-program library called nm_lib that holds twenty-three subroutines and functions. In addition, there is a precision module that controls the precision of calculations. Well-respected in their field, the authors discuss a variety of numerical topics related to engineering. Some of the chapter features include… The numerical solution of sets of linear algebraic equations - Roots of single nonlinear equations and sets of nonlinear equations - Numerical quadrature, or numerical evaluation of integrals - An introduction to the solution of partial differential equations using finite difference and finite element approaches. Describing concise programs that are constructed using sub-programs wherever possible, this book presents many different contexts of numerical analysis, forming an excellent introduction to more comprehensive subroutine libraries such as the numerical algorithm group (NAG)..

The NCEES FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) examination is the first step in becoming a licensed engineer in the United States. This book addresses the newly-formatted 2014 Civil Engineering FE Computer-based examination specifications. This book is discipline-specific and covers the following subjects for the Civil Engineering FE exam: 1. Mathematics 2. Probability and Statistics 3. Computer Methods 4. Ethics and Professional Conduct 5. Engineering Economics 6. Statics 7. Dynamics 8. Mechanics of Materials 9. Materials 10. Fluid Mechanics 11. Hydraulics and Hydrology 12. Structural Analysis 13. Structural Design 14. Geotechnical Engineering 15. Transportation Engineering 16. Environmental Engineering 17. Construction 18. Surveying. The NCEES specifications are described in the NCEES Reference Handbook version 9.0 available on the NCEES website. This book is based on these specifications and has over 600 solved problems, which have been designed to be as exam-like as possible. The books works hand in hand with the NCEES Handbook. It uses the Handbook equations and notations, and provides numerous footnotes to guide the reader where the equation used in the problem can be found in the NCEES Handbook. Its goal is to provide an efficient preparation for the FE CE exam. This book uses most of the equations and concepts described in the NCEES specifications, but not all of them. This does not mean that only the equations and concepts covered in the book are important and that what is not covered is not important. Every field in engineering has broad applications and all equations and concepts in the specifications are equally important for the exam. This is a workbook. Every problem introduces a new principle, concept or application. Working with the solved problems and mastering the concepts and applications will help in preparing for the FE examination.
