A comprehensive guide to civil engineering design and construction, this handbook is an authoritative resource for anyone working on transport infrastructure projects in the UK.
Issued by the British Transport Commission Civil Engineering Department in May 1962, it provides detailed information on the principles of structural analysis, materials science, and construction methods. The book covers a wide range of topics, including bridge design, tunnel boring, and road construction.
The handbook is divided into two main sections: Part I deals with the design of bridges and tunnels, while Part II focuses on road construction and other civil engineering projects. Each section includes detailed drawings and tables, as well as explanatory text that provides insight into the technical requirements and constraints involved in each project.
This authoritative guide has been widely used by civil engineers and contractors working on transport infrastructure projects throughout the UK, providing a valuable reference for anyone looking to ensure their designs meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
