This book is written by an eminent author who had an experience of over thirty years in the teaching of the subject, and now, it is revised and enlarged by the experienced teacher.
The book within its 21 chapters now contains more than :
* 400
* 440
* 640 |
Fully solved problems
Examples with answers
Neatly drawn diagrams |
It is published entirely in SI Units. It is hoped that this edition will prove extremely useful to the students of Civil, Mechanical and Architecture Engineering reading for Degree Examinations of all the Universities of India, Diploma Examinations conducted by various Boards of Technical Examinations, also Certificate Courses, as well as for the U.P.S.C., GATE and A.M.I.E. Examinations. It should also prove of great interest and practical use to the practising engineers.
