✦ Synopsis

The first two volumes of this monumental work have been brought up to date. Still adhering to its original purpose--to provide a civil engineer with enough data to design any civil engineering work without reference to other sources--the second edition has been completely revised and several additions have been made. In Volume 1, the new material includes fuller treatment of soil mechanics; airfield design datai design of swimming pools; industrial waste treatment; added equipment for dams; and new turnpike standards. Also, a wider range of "push-button" design data has been included. Volume 2 has been brought up to date with the addition of specifications for elements of industrial buildings, of swimming pools and cost information on such items as ski tows, drlve-in theaters, etc.
