More than just a price book, Spon's Civil Engineering and Highway Works Price Book 2004 is a comprehensive, work manual that all those in the civil engineering, surveying and construction business will find it hard to work without. It gives costs for both general and civil engineering works and highway works, and shows a full breakdown of labour, plant and material elements. Thoroughly comprehensive and structured to comply with CESMM3, the book includes prices and rates covering everything from beany blocks to well-pointing, from radio masts to coastal defence. In a time when it is essential to gain 'competitive advantage' over the competition in an increasingly congested market, this book provides instant-access cost information and is a one-stop reference containing tables, formulae, technical information and professional advice. Spon's Civil Engineering and Highway Works Price Book 2004 comes with a 'free' CDROM that enables the reader to view the entire book on screen, cut and paste prices into other tender documents, export to other major packages, perform simple calculations, index search, produce estimate and tender documents, adjust rates and data. This complete package now means that Spon's is now better than ever and is a resource that civil engineers, surveyors and the construction industry cannot do without. This 18th edition, in a new easier-to-read format, incorporates: an expansion of both the Civil Engineering Works and Highway Works sections to improve coverage of the two methods of measurement; a detailed review of the Highway Works section to ensure compliance with the latest amendments of the Highways Method of Measurement; Updating of plant resources and allocation to the various tasks throughout the book.

Author: Edward J. Shaughnessy, Ira M. Katz, James P. Schaffer | Size: 17.6 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | Year: 2004 | pages: 1056 | ISBN: 0195154517
Product Description:
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics provides a balanced and uniquely visual treatment of the tools used in solving modern fluid mechanics problems. Presenting an image-intensive approach to fluid dynamics through classic kinematic concepts, the book demonstrates the importance of flow visualization in a framework of modern experimental techniques and flow simulation.
Detailed photographs and diagrams of fluid motions and phenomena throughout the text help students to see and understand why equations change drastically for different types of flows. Output illustrations from CFD (computational fluid dynamics) programs illustrate the possibilities of flow behavior, enabling students to concentrate on ideas instead of mathematics. The book also provides the means to solve interesting problems early in the course by presenting case studies at the beginning of the text. These cases are revisited later to reinforce empirical rules and help explain advanced methods of analyzing a flow.
Creating a foundation for further study in this important and exciting field, Introduction to Fluid Mechanics is ideal for a first course in fluid mechanics. The book is designed to accommodate students concentrating in mechanical engineering as well as those in the civil, aerospace, and chemical engineering fields.
Features
A highly organized 2-color interior and icons throughout the text aid in navigation and review.
CFD icons indicate subject matter that directly or indirectly relates to computational methods to familiarize students with this powerful tool.
FE icons note material that is covered in the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to help students prepare.
Chapters on differential analysis of flow and on applications of fluid mechanics are self-contained so that instructors can pick and choose which topics to cover.
An Instructor's Manual and CD are available to adopters.
