This book?s time-tested organization and clear explanations start with the basics to help you quickly get up to speed with common civil engineering concepts. Together, the 90 chapters provide an in-depth review of all of the topics, codes, and standards listed in the NCEES Civil PE exam specifications. The extensive index contains thousands of entries, with multiple entries included for each topic, so you?ll find what you?re looking for no matter how you search.Due to the changes in codes for the 2015 NCEES PE exam, there are some updates to this edition.
