About this title

Synopsis

Contains all the information needed to produce complete and accurate site plans. It is the only work entirely devoted to the solution of landscape and drainage problems that recur so frequently in the preparation of site plans.

From the Back Cover

A concise, highly accessible source for site engineering basics.

This updated edition of Parker's classic text introduces the basic issues, tasks, and problems of site engineering to students and professionals who need to understand the significance of surveying data. It presents the fundamentals of site engineering —surveying and mapping, drainage, slope stabilization, and basic structures —and explains in detail the solutions to a wide variety of problems, including:

Interpretation of deed descriptions
Dimensioning buildings and sites when angles are other than right angles
Computing areas for irregular plots
Dimensioning and laying out circular curves for driveways and buildings
And much more.

Featuring a simplified, accessible style with numerous examples of problems and their solutions, as well as references and practical aids that facilitate home study, this is the ideal surveying and site-planning primer for students in architecture, landscape architecture, and civil and structural engineering. It is also an excellent handbook for working architects, building contractors, and professionals in related fields.
