First published in 1995, the
3rd Edition of Construction Surveying and Layout has been brought to a new level of
excellence by expanded details, new step-by-step processes, numerous
"how-to" methods, and down-to-earth tips and techniques. Full of
superbly detailed illustrations, this creative book contains enhanced chapters,
new chapters, added resources, and improved layout for easier referencing,
reading, and learning.
Key Features:
Revised chapters present a more logical arrangement of topics for improved
learning.
More than 100 detailed step-by-step surveying measuring and calculating
processes to make understanding easier.
Over 1400 in-depth illustrations showing how to perform field and office
work activities.
A combination of English and metric measurements and calculations, as well
as refreshers on mathematics, conversions, and useful tables.
500 additional questions and problems.
Nearly 100 field and office exercises and activities to enhance knowledge.
Chapter summaries that identify Important Points as well as Mistakes and
Errors from practicing surveyors and field engineers.
Easy-style reading with key points and "rules of thumb"
identified.
This text is intended for those who are learning or performing surveying field
measurement and layout processes. It is suitable for technical and college-level
courses in construction sciences, building construction, and civil engineering,
and is recommended as a reference for contractors, construction management,
engineering, architectural, and design-build firms. With an emphasis on
eliminating mistakes and reducing errors, many companies use this text as their
field surveying training manual, or provide it to layout personnel for
self-study and personal improvement of field and calculation techniques. Anyone
who is involved in construction should have this as a resource available for its
common-sense approach to surveying and layout activities.
