A calculation-focused reference for construction engineering work

Rajapakse organizes construction engineering around the mathematics that supports design decisions, beginning with a concise, rigorous grounding in the equations before moving into application-based chapters. Step-by-step design examples make the workings of each calculation visible, while tables and schematics provide quick-reference support alongside the formulas. Covering project stages from planning through construction and completion, the book is structured as a practical desk reference for approaching engineering problems with documented calculations and design guidance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Construction engineering students building confidence with applied calculations
  • Practicing engineers seeking worked design examples and reference tables
  • Technical professionals involved across planning, construction, and project completion

Book overview

Construction Engineering Calculations and Rules of Thumb begins with a brief, but rigorous, introduction to the mathematics behind the equations that is followed by self-contained chapters concerning applications for all aspects of construction engineering. Design examples with step-by-step solutions, along with a generous amount of tables, schematics, and calculations are provided to facilitate more accurate solutions through all phases of a project, from planning, through construction and completion.
