Review
'All five volumes provide vital information for consultants and contractors to size up the prospects of finding work in the region and carry out feasibility studies. Within each volume, a chapter is devoted to each country, giving main economic and construction indicators, cost data on labour and materials, unit rates for 60 construction work items, approximate estimating rates for a range of building types, and addresses of useful contacts.'

Spon's Construction Resource Handbook is the first book to present critical information about materials, labour and plant constants required for the estimating process under one cover. It covers all areas of the construction industry and will provide all those involved in the preparation of tenders, cost estimates and first-stage estimates with the information they need to work with greater confidence and prepare more accurate estimates and tenders. With a unique style of presentation, it includes thousands of item descriptions and a comprehensive collection of data, including labour and plant outputs, materials, elemental breakdowns and lists of relevant organizations.
Up-to-date and comprehensive, Spon's Construction Resource Handbook will be an indispensable reference for estimators, quantity surveyors, engineers and architects working in local government and professional practices, government agencies, and contractors in all fields of construction. It will provide an invaluable reference base for negotiation of new rates where variations occur on a contract.

Author: Michael S. Mamlouk & John P. Zaniewski | Size: 12.1 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Prentice Hall | Year: 2010 | pages: 600 | ISBN: 0136110584
Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, 3/e is ideal for courses in Civil Engineering Materials, Construction Materials, and Construction Methods and Materials offered in Civil, Environmental, or Construction engineering departments.
This introduction gives students a basic understanding of the material selection process and the behavior of materials — a fundamental requirement for all civil and construction engineers performing design, construction, and maintenance. The authors cover the various materials used by civil and construction engineers in one useful reference, limiting the vast amount of information available to the introductory level, concentrating on current practices, and extracting information that is relevant to the general education of civil and construction engineers. A large number of experiments, figures, sample problems, test methods, and homework problems gives students opportunity for practice and review.

Some sites let you preview their content ( pdf files, etc.) but don't let you to download it. :(
If you don't want to give to them your credit card number, here is one primitive solution: it works like print screen button.
1) Select the folder where you want the files to be saved (preferably create a new folder).
2) Scroll to the page you want to capture. Mark the exact screen area that you want to capture (click the upper left corner with left mouse click and let the button at the down right corner).
3) Hit the capture button to save the contents of the marked area into a file. Go to the next page and hit the capture button again. If the page margins change re-mark the capture area and then hit the capture button.
4) (optional) When done capturing edit the bitmap files created
5) Hit the create pdf button. For 100 pages it takes several minutes - be patient.
6) Open the folder you created at step 1. Copy-rename the pdf file. Delete the folder and contents.
NOTE: The quallity of pdf created is very poor. It gets better the bigger screen size you use. Used it with double monitor pc and scanned these samples in 5minutes each.

NOTE: Don't be hard on it. It was created just for fun and practice. No hard error checking, exception handling, help etc. Looking forward for comments though.
NOTE: It requires .NET Framework 4 installed. Keep dlls and exe in the same folder.

Now, we have a Problem section which member could post their problem in Civil Engineering. But I found that this section is not fully operate its function. There are many threads which have 0 reply Or unsolved problem Or maybe solve problem and then dump in the deepest of other thread and maybe other user have same problem then post the same thread with different name. So I suggest to build a new Problem section(subsection) with a some specific topic. Maybe look like this
Structural Analysis
Reinforced Concrete Analysis and Design
Steel Structure Analysis and Design
Earthquake
Bridge Design
etc...
With this new section, all of same topic problem can collected only in one thread. Any member who can solve problem can discuss more dynamic. This could be a reference to me to enlarge my knowledge with this topic.
I would love if you create a new section of Software Problem. Not about installation or cracking problem but about scientific problem like modelling of Structure.
maybe it would be like This
Csi Problem
Bentley Problem
etc like in software section
As I see in Introduce section, there are few of member put their interest in Programming like Visual basic(me too, but actually just start learning), Matlab etc. I would love if you want to create this new section.
Thank you so much. Sorry for this disturb suggestion and sorry for my really bad English.
