**** A classic compendium of step-by-step calculations for solving the most frequently encountered engineering problems, cited in BCL3, Sheehy, and Powell. This revised and updated edition (2nd ed., 1985) features some 5,000 direct and related calculation procedures for 13 different disciplines. It reflects the increased emphasis on environmental factors by adding a major new section on environmental engineering and stressing environmental concerns in the other 12 engineering areas as well. The volume is also updated to show changes in various codes and technical requirements, particularly those concerning safety and legal factors. Annotation c.
