Simplified Site Engineering (Parker/Ambrose Series of Simplified Design Guides) by Harry Parker
By Harry S. Parker, John W. Macguire, James Ambrose
Book DescriptionThis compact book introduces the fundamental issues, tasks, and problems of site engineering. It addresses site surveying and mapping, site drainage, slope stabilization, and basic site structures. It also discusses laser technology, water conservation, environmental impact, and use of ground for thermal buffing and explores topical issues in modern surveying, computational mapping techniques, and computer-aided design (CAD).
This updated edition of Parker's classic text introduces the basic issues, tasks, and problems of site engineering to students and professionals who need to understand the significance of surveying data. It presents the fundamentals of site engineering surveying and mapping, drainage, slope stabilization, and basic structures and explains in detail the solutions to a wide variety of problems, including:
- Interpretation of deed descriptions
- Dimensioning buildings and sites when angles are other than right angles
- Computing areas for irregular plots
- Dimensioning and laying out circular curves for driveways and buildings
- And much more.
Featuring a simplified, accessible style with numerous examples of problems and their solutions, as well as references and practical aids that facilitate home study, this is the ideal surveying and site-planning primer for students in architecture, landscape architecture, and civil and structural engineering. It is also an excellent handbook for working architects, building contractors, and professionals in related fields.
