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.

This new, fifth edition of an extremely popular textbook continues in its tradition of presenting design procedures using a simple language, neat sketches and abundant solved problems. 

This book is aimed at training the students in using IS:800-2007 for designing steel structures using the limit state method. The author has explained the provisions of code in a simple language and illustrated the design procedure with a large number of worked out problems.

This book deals with matrix methods of structural analysis for linearly elastic framed structures. It starts with background of matrix analysis of structures followed by procedure to develop force-displacement relation for a given structure using flexibility and stiffness coefficients. The remaining text deals with the analysis of framed structures using flexibility, stiffness and direct stiffness methods. Simple programs using MATLAB for the analysis of structures are included in the appendix.
