A real life civil design project for site development is recreated through each chapter in this book to prepare readers for what to expect when working in the field. Coverage begins by introducing the basic setups and standards that anyone beginning a civil design CAD project should know, then moves on to the fundamental concepts common to most civil engineering projects such as grading, contours, and surveying. Readers will then explore the process of creating different types of drawings typically necessary for civil design and see how changing parts of a design can affect the entire project process. The book concludes with methods for estimating quantities for the different types of materials and work that will likely be encountered in an actual drafting assignment.

• Combines the theory of engineering graphics and the use of AutoCAD 2024 • Designed specifically for civil engineering students • Uses clearly defined objectives and step-by-step instructions There is an old saying that an engineer describes every idea with a drawing. With the advances in computer technology and drawing software, it has never been easier, or more important, to learn computer aided design. To be effective, however, a drawing must accurately convey your intended meaning and that requires more than just knowing how to use software. This book provides you with a clear presentation of the theory of engineering graphics and the use of AutoCAD 2024 as they pertain to civil engineering applications. This combination of theory and its practical application will give you the knowledge and skills necessary to create designs that are accurate and easily understood by others. Book Organization Each chapter starts with a bulleted list of chapter objectives followed by an introduction. This provides you with a general overview of the material that will be covered in the chapter. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined sections that contain step-by-step instructions and illustrations to help you learn to use the various AutoCAD commands. More importantly, you will also learn how and why you would use these tools in real world projects. This book has been categorized into 14 parts: • Introduction to AutoCAD 2024 ribbon interface (1-4) • AutoCAD and annotative objects (5) • AutoCAD and locks, layers, layouts, and template files (6-8) • Dimensions and tolerance using AutoCAD 2024 (9-10) • Use of AutoCAD in land survey data plotting (11-12) • The use of AutoCAD in hydrology (13-14) • Transportation engineering and AutoCAD (15-16) • AutoCAD and architecture technology (17-19) • Introduction to working drawings (20) • Plotting from AutoCAD (21) • External Reference Files - Xref (22) • Suggested drawing problems (23-24) • Bibliography (25) • Index (26)

For courses in Civil Engineering Materials, Construction Materials, and Construction Methods and Materials offered in Civil, Environmental, or Construction engineering departments. This introduction gives students a basic understanding of the material selection process and the behavior of materials — a fundamental requirement for all civil and construction engineers performing design, construction, and maintenance. The authors cover the various materials used by civil and construction engineers in one useful reference, limiting the vast amount of information available to the introductory level, concentrating on current practices, and extracting information that is relevant to the general education of civil and construction engineers. A large number of experiments, figures, sample problems, test methods, and homework problems gives students opportunity for practice and review.
