It covers a wide range of topics related to civil engineering, including mensuration, trigonometry, surveying, and more. The book is organized into several sections, each of which covers a different topic. The first section covers mensuration, which is the process of measuring the size and shape of objects. This section includes formulas for calculating the areas and volumes of various shapes, as well as tables of standard measurements. The second section covers trigonometry, which is the study of triangles and their properties. This section includes formulas for calculating angles, distances, and heights using trigonometric functions. The third section covers surveying, which is the process of measuring and mapping the earth's surface. This section includes information on the instruments and techniques used in surveying, as well as formulas for calculating distances, elevations, and angles. Other sections of the book cover topics such as leveling, earthwork, and hydraulics. Overall, The Civil Engineer's Pocketbook is a valuable resource for anyone involved in civil engineering, whether they are a student, a professional, or an enthusiast.The Civil Engineer�������s Pocketbook Of Mensuration, Trigonometry, Surveying, Hydraulics, Hydrostatics, Instruments And Their Adjustments, Strength Of Materials, Masonry, Principles Of Wooden And Iron Roof And Bridge Trusses, Stone Bridges And Culverts, Trestles, Pillars, Suspension Bridges, Dams, Railroads, Turnouts, Turning Platforms, Water Stations, Cost Of Earthwork, Foundations, Retaining Walls, Etc.
