Indian Practical Civil Engineers' Handbook (The Standard Every - Day Reference Book for all Engineers & Architects)

............................................................................................................................
Description
In the planning and execution of Civil Engineering works India is making rapid strides to keep pace with the present requirements. As such, to keep abreast with the latest advances made in this field the book has been subjected to further revision. I have again drawn freely from all available sources from a wide field and have made all efforts to incorporate all matters of fundamental importance and the relevant latest IS Codes of Practice, and also the specifications issued by the various PWDs and the IRC, and other valuable literature produced by the Institution of Engineers (India), as regards their practical application, have been taken into account. Formulae and equations which have become, more or less, mainly of historic interest have been omitted. I have to repeat again that the material discussed in the various Sections is by no means conclusive or the last word on the subject.
