{"product_id":"9780123822444","title":"Construction Calculations Manual","description":"Construction Calculations is a manual that provides end users with a comprehensive guide for many of the formulas, mathematical vectors and conversion factors that are commonly encountered during the design and construction stages of a construction project. It offers readers detailed calculations, applications and examples needed in site work, cost estimation, piping and pipefitting, and project management. The book also serves as a refresher course for some of the formulas and concepts of geometry and trigonometry.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into sections that present the common components of construction. The first section of the books starts with a refresher discussion of unit and systems measurement; its origin and evolution; the standards of length, mass and capacity; terminology and tables; and notes of metric, U.S, and British units of measurements. The following concepts are presented and discussed throughout the book:  \u003cbr\u003e Conversion tables and formulas, including the Metric Conversion Law and conversion factors for builders and design professionals \u003cbr\u003e Calculations and formulas of geometry, trigonometry and physics in construction \u003cbr\u003e Rudiments of excavation, classification, use of material, measurement and payment \u003cbr\u003e Soil classification and morphology, including its physicochemical properties \u003cbr\u003e Formulas and calculations needed for soil tests and evaluations and for the design of retaining structures \u003cbr\u003e Calculations relating to concrete and masonry \u003cbr\u003e Calculations of the size\/weight of structural steel and other metals \u003cbr\u003e Mechanical properties of wood and processing of wood products \u003cbr\u003e Calculations relating to sound and thermal transmission \u003cbr\u003e Interior finishes, plumbing and HVAC calculations \u003cbr\u003e Electrical formulas and calculations \u003cbr\u003eConstruction managers and engineers, architects, contractors, and beginners in engineering, architecture, and construction will find this practical guide useful for managing all aspects of construction.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork in and convert between building dimensions, including metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in right-angle solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAreas, volumes, square-ups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete stair layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof, rafter and framing solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircle: arcs, circumference, segments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071294816496,"sku":"9780123822444","price":104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780123822444_p0.jpg?v=1763638819","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780123822444","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
