Surveying
The book details on the elementary methods of measurements like tapes and chains to the most advanced ones like remote sensing and photogrammetry. The book discusses types of surveying, advanced techniques evolved and the methodologies adopted to conduct surveys, in logical sequence. It systematically elucidates the concepts of land surveying, hydrographic surveying, compass surveying and so on, deriving the formulas through simple geometry, trigonometry and differential calculus. Besides, it educates the learner to handle measuring instruments, and teaches the ways to take the measurements accurately, in steps.
IRRIGATION AND WATER POWER ENGINEERING
Designed primarily as a textbook for the undergraduate students of civil and agricultural engineering, this comprehensive and well-written text covers irrigation system and hydroelectric power development in lucid language. The text is organized in two parts. Part I (Irrigation Engineering) deals with the methods of water distribution to crops, water requirement of crops, soil-water relationship, well irrigation and hydraulics of well, canal irrigation and different theories of irrigation canal design. Part II (Water Power Engineering) offers the procedures of harnessing the hydropotential of river valleys to produce electricity. It also discusses different types of dams, surge tanks, turbin...
Hydrology
The book starts with the hydrologic cycle which is the central concept of hydrology. Then it moves on to basics of hydrometeorology, abstraction losses like infiltration, runoff in different forms, instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) and its mathematical concepts like convolution integral, synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) and S-hydrograph. Finally, the text concludes with estimation of flood by empirical equations and different flood frequency analysis, and hydrology of basin management which deals with soil conservation, water shed management and control of soil erosion that are very important for agricultural engineering.
Structural Analysis
Intended as a textbook for the undergraduate students of civil engineering, this book covers the complete syllabi of two courses in theory of structural analysis taught to the engineering students in third and fourth semesters. The book is organised in two parts--Part I (for the third semester course) and Part II (for the fourth semester course). It covers all the important topics such as bending moment and shear force diagrams for statically determinate beams, analysis of statically determinate structures, relation between curvature, slope and deflection of beams, Castiglione's theorem, Macaulay's method, analysis of fixed and continuous beams, Girder bridge and retaining walls. KEY FEATURES: 1. Numerous worked-out examples in each and every chapter. 2. Step-by-step derivations of equations. 3. Review Questions and Problems to sharpen the problem-solving skills.
ELEMENTS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING
Designed as an introductory text for the undergraduate first-year students of all branches of engineering, the present book covers the basics of civil engineering which is required by the students in the beginning of their four-year engineering studies. This textbook covers four parts of civil engineering: Building materials, Building construction and architecture, Surveying, and Highway engineering. All the chapters are arranged in a logical sequence in order to maintain the continuity of the different parts as per the syllabus. Illustrated numerical examples are solved in the chapter wherever necessary. All the worked out examples have relevance to the theory and equations covered in the Chapters end exercises at the end of each chapter help students to absorb concepts, and thus reinforce the understanding of the subject. In a nutshell, this volume contains the complete contents of the course comprising four sub-branches of civil engineering in a single condensed form.
Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machines
Intended as a textbook for the undergraduate students of civil and mechanical engineering, this book is the outcome of authors' vast experience in this subject area. It presents the basic theories of hydraulics and all types of hydraulic machines that are used in these days in our day-to-day life. Organized in two parts—Hydraulics (Part I) and Hydraulic Machines (Part II), the book is written in an easy-to-follow method in conformity to the syllabi followed in universities. The chapter end exercises of all the chapters are carefully prepared for the students, which enhance their problem-solving skills. This book is also useful for the students of chemical, electrical and aeronautical engineering. Key Features Copious well-illustrated figures Detailed description of various types of pumps and miscellaneous hydraulic machines Numerous solved problems and unsolved problems with answers Deductions and numerical examples in S.I. Units
WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
Watershed management has evolved and passed through several developmental stages. Realising the importance of watershed management, great efforts have been made by the government in preparing implementation strategies and the technical institutions have also introduced the subject in their curriculum at senior undergraduate and postgraduate levels of civil and agricultural engineering. Since this is a multidisciplinary subject, it finds place in environmental science and forestry curriculum as well. The book, comprising of 16 chapters, provides comprehensive coverage of the subject. Covering the concepts and principles of watershed management, the book discusses watershed characteristics, causes of watershed deterioration, soil erosion and soil–water relationship, management of natural drainages in watershed, wasteland, landslide and land drainage management, arable and non-arable land, design flow and design storm and effect of watershed on the community. Chapters on flood routing through channels and reservoirs in watershed and flood damage mitigation management in watershed add further value to the book.
ENGINEERING HYDROLOGY
This lucidly-written book, with its diagrammatic representation and practical examples, presents a comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of engineering hydrology in the areas of elements of hydrological cycle, abstraction losses, streamflow measurement, runoff, hydrology statistics, flood frequency analysis and groundwater flow. Throughout the book, the text emphasises problem-solving in which students are encouraged to apply their conceptual understanding in order to solve practical problems. This book is primarily intended for the undergraduate students of civil engineering and agricultural engineering.
Basic Engineering Mechanics and Strength of Materials
This textbook focuses on imparting the basic knowledge of engineering mechanics and strength of materials to the first-year undergraduate students of all branches of engineering. The book elaborates on the introductory topics of Basic Engineering Mechanics and Strength of Materials in two parts. Part I of the book deals with various aspects of basic engineering mechanics (Chapters 1-11). The scope of engineering mechanics includes system of forces, laws of mechanics, moments of forces, parallel forces, couples and equilibrium of forces. This part also discusses analysis of forces in space and perfect frames, centre of gravity, friction and kinetics of rigid bodies. Part II of the book focuse...
OUTCOME-BASED CURRICULUM IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Engineering Education has emerged as a fast developing 'discipline' in itself with universities across the world opening up exclusive 'Departments of Engineering Education' which is also impacting the socio-economic system in India. Most of the engineering institutions in India are part of the 'hub-and-spoke' university education system unique to India. Scientifically developing the 'Outcome-based Curriculum' (OBC) uniformly across India has been a daunting task, due to the dearth of an authentic book on OBC addressing the need of the Indian Engineering Education System. This being the first book of its kind in India and with OBC serving as the 'Constitution' of 'Outcome-based Education' (OB...
