PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION:

The aim of this ebook is to concentrate on introductory materials pertaining to civil engineering and engineering mechanics with a purpose to present the first-year college students of all branches with a balanced and cohesive research of these two areas as wanted by them to start with of their engineering training.

It presents the fundamental data about numerous aspects of civil engineering (being the oldest department of engineering) and the associated engineering buildings and infrastructure akin to buildings, roads, highways, dams, and bridges which exist throughout us.

It additionally briefly explains the broad scope of allied fields of civil engineering akin to surveying, transportation, water sources, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, basis engineering and development expertise.

The engineering mechanics portion of the ebook has been totally defined with many sensible examples and an effort has been made to make the scholars study the fundamental ideas, which is able to show helpful to them of their future endeavours of increased research.

The subjects in engineering mechanics are organized into Forces, Centroid, Second of Inertia and Friction. Every chapter is written in such a approach that the ideas are launched to the reader step by step and stepwise.

Every chapter consists of many worked-out issues in order that a number of differing types of issues get lined. This ebook has additionally been supplied with a CD whereby mini softwares can be found to work out the issues on subjects of Forces, Centroid, Second of Inertia and Friction.

The software program is developed utilizing MS Excel. The availability of such software program overcomes restrictions on the quantity of issues out there and this helps each the scholars and the school in a number of methods. The college can develop new varieties of issues with assured and dependable options, thus serving to them to set new kind of questions for exams and examinations.

On the similar time the perusal of software program helps the scholars to grasp the basics of the topic in a comparatively simple method. This ebook has been written in a easy and easy-to-follow language. It makes use of step-by-step procedures to unravel issues together with sufficient idea as required by the first-year engineering college students.

Although particularly designed to adapt to the syllabus of Visvesaraya Technological College (VTU), it’s a primary undergraduate textbook that will likely be helpful to a number of different universities. The authors invite constructive criticism and solutions from all readers for effecting enhancements in subsequent editions.
