Description
Book SynopsisA concise, highly accessible source for site engineeringbasics.
This updated edition of Parker''s classic text introduces the basicissues, tasks, and problems of site engineering to students andprofessionals who need to understand the significance of surveyingdata. It presents the fundamentals of site engineering --surveyingand mapping, drainage, slope stabilization, and basic structures--and explains in detail the solutions to a wide variety ofproblems, including:
* Interpretation of deed descriptions
* Dimensioning buildings and sites when angles are other than rightangles
* Computing areas for irregular plots
