Based on his experience in land development and water resources engineering, Daniel has provided us with a book that gets to the heart of the real-world civil engineering concepts that every engineer should understand. In a genre full of textbooks and manuals that are packed with information you'll rarely, if ever, see in your career, this book stands out as a concise, comprehensive discussion of the concepts you'll actually use.
This informative guide will teach you all the basic information you'll need to:
Properly and efficiently grade a site.
Design a stormwater conveyance system, including the design of stormwater management structures such as detention basins.
Understand the big picture design concepts related to erosion and sediment control.
Design a water conveyance system, including detailed discussions of pressure design concepts.
Design a wastewater conveyance system, including pump station and force main design.
This book contains numerous figures/tables to utilize as a reference for your design projects. These include tables of basic constants and attributes, and multiple figures associated with each design category that show component details and plan/profile views.
