Though determining plastic modulus of section assuming the section to consist of rectangular parts are within the reach of a design engineer, but as Indian Rolled Steel Sections consist of sloping flanges, fillets at junctions and rounded edges are slightly complex.

The book is intended to help students of civil engineering and practicing civil engineers to understand the theoretical and practical aspects of concrete technology. It includes the latest specifications and regulations of Indian Standards (IS) for concrete construction and mix design.

Standard notations are used throughout; All problems are solved systematically to illustrate the correct method of answering
This is a comprehensive book catering to the requirements of Engineering Mechanics courses at undergraduate level. Emphasis has been laid on drawing neat free-body diagrams and then applying the laws of mechanics systematically. Standard notations are used throughout and important points re stressed. All problems are solved systematically to illustrate the correct method of answering.

The book incorporates all major topics in the civil engineering discipline and is written to serve as a refresher course with each topic presented briefly followed by an exhaustive set of objective type questions with keys for important questions at the end. It serves as a quick reference designed to help BE/B Tech undergraduate students and for practising engineers. It will also help in preparing for various competitive examinations:

Strength of Materials is an important subject in engineering in which concept of load transfer in a structure is developed and method of finding internal forces in the members of the structure is taught. This book is written strictly as per West Bengal polytechnic syllabus. The subject is developed systematically, using good number of figures and simple English. At the end of each chapter a set of problems are presented with answer so that the students can check their ability to solve problems.
