This subject is a mixture of many civil engineering subjects like Building Materials, Building Constructions, Surveying and Engineering Mechanics. Various books are available in these subjects including some of them by the author. However a student cannot refer all those books to get the required part for his study in a semester. Hence author felt there is need for a separate book for all engineering students to the required extent. The author has explained the subject in simple language, given neat sketches wherever required and solved the problems in detail.
