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.
