This book presents the basic principles of estimating the time and cost of con¬struction projects. To prepare an accurate estimate the estimator must perform a careful and thorough analysis of the work to be performed. The analysis includes the type and quantity of work, type and size of equipment to install the work, and jobsite conditions that are unique to the project that can impact the ti…

I n this ninth edition we have retained the objectives and approaches for teaching materials science and engineering that were presented in previous editions. The first, and primary, objective is to present the basic fundamentals on a level appropriate for university/college students who have completed their freshmen calculus, chemistry, and physics courses. The second objective is to present …

The transportation system is often referred to as the nation's "lifeblood circulation system." Our complex system of roads and highways, railroads, airports and airlines, waterways, and urban transit systems provides for the movement of people and goods within and between our densest urban cities and the most remote outposts of the nation. Without the ability to travel and to transport goods, s…
