* About This Book :

One day I was searching in the internet for civil engineering books that can help me in my studies . Till I
found a list of books in one of engineering websites , then I though it could be useful , so I copied it and
uploaded to scribd.com , and in less than one month it had been read by more than one thousand person , and
ten thousand in less than two years , so I decided to add more books and improve this publication for the
benefit of all civil engineers .
What's new in this 2nd Edition is that , more books are added with their links to make it easy for
download , but not all of this books have links, some of them u have to search for yourself. Also the books
name have been organized by their departments to make it easy for you when you search them.
And at last I will try my best to add more books for this index book , also you can help in some way by
sending me name of books you may know to be added to this index book . You can send it to me by the e-
mail that is appears in the bottom of the page.

* What is Civil Engineering ?
Civil engineering is that field of engineering concerned with planning, design and construction of natural
resource development, regional and local water supply and storm water facilities, waste management facilities,
transportation facilities, tunnels, buildings, bridges, and other structures for the needs of people. Persons who are
qualified by education and experience and who meet state requirements for practicing the profession of civil
engineering are called civil engineers.

− Performance Criteria for Civil Engineers:

As professionals, civil engineers should conform to the following canons as they perform their duties:

1. Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public. (Welfare of the public implies a commitment to
sustainable development which is meeting the current needs and goals of the project while protecting the natural
resource base for future generations.)
2. Act for every employer or client as faithful agents or trustees and avoid conflict of interest.
3. 3. Apply to the fullest extent their knowledge and skill to every client’s project.
4. Maintain life-long learning, always willing to participate in the professional exchange of ideas and technical
information.
5. Perform services only in areas of competence; in other areas, engineers may engage or collaborate with
qualified associates, consultants, or employees for performing assignments.

Accordingly, civil engineering projects should be planned, designed, and constructed to satisfy the
following criteria:

1. They should serve the purposes specified by the owner or client.

2. They should be constructable by known techniques and with available labor and equipment within a time
acceptable to the owner or client.
3. They should be capable of withstanding the elements and normal usage for a reasonable period of time.
4. Projects when completed should be optimum— lowest cost for the purposes intended or the best for the money
spent—as required by the owner or client. Construction cost should not exceed the client’s construction budget, and
operation, maintenance, and repair, when properly executed, should not be excessively costly.
5. Projects should be designed and constructed to meet pertinent legal requirements, conform with generally accepted
engineering standards, and avoid endangering the health and safety of construction workers, operators of the projects,
and the general public.
6. Projects should be designed to meet the goals of sustainable development which are meeting project needs while
conserving and protecting environmental quality and the natural resource base for future generations.
7. Projects, when properly operated, should be energy efficient.
8. To the extent possible, projects should display aesthetic qualities.
