This review is from: Handbook of Civil Engineering Calculations, Second Edition (Hands on) (Hardcover)

Any engineering calculation can be found in this book. I am not an engineer but I bought it since I am a Land Surveyor and it has a chapter on Route surveying.

I am fully satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to any person requiring these types of formula. Engineers, land surveyors, Architects, etc.
