Construction Calculations is a manual that provides end users with
a comprehensive guide for many of the formulas, mathematical
vectors and conversion factors that are commonly encountered during
the design and construction stages of a construction project. It
offers readers detailed calculations, applications and examples
needed in site work, cost estimation, piping and pipefitting, and
project management. The book also serves as a refresher course for
some of the formulas and concepts of geometry and trigonometry. The
book is divided into sections that present the common components of
construction. The first section of the books starts with a
refresher discussion of unit and systems measurement; its origin
and evolution; the standards of length, mass and capacity;
terminology and tables; and notes of metric, U.S, and British units
of measurements. The following concepts are presented and discussed
throughout the book: Conversion tables and formulas, including the
Metric Conversion Law and conversion factors for builders and
design professionals Calculations and formulas of geometry,
trigonometry and physics in construction Rudiments of excavation,
classification, use of material, measurement and payment Soil
classification and morphology, including its physicochemical
properties Formulas and calculations needed for soil tests and
evaluations and for the design of retaining structures Calculations
relating to concrete and masonry Calculations of the size/weight of
structural steel and other metals Mechanical properties of wood and
processing of wood products Calculations relating to sound and
thermal transmission Interior finishes, plumbing and HVAC
calculations Electrical formulas and calculations Construction
managers and engineers, architects, contractors, and beginners in
engineering, architecture, and construction will find this
practical guide useful for managing all aspects of construction.
