A Guide to The Preparation of Civil Engineering Drawings
PDF Free Download | A Guide to The Preparation of Civil Engineering Drawings.
The author's aim is not only to describe the general principles of good drawing office practice, but also to illustrate how these principles are applied in many specialised branches of civil engineering.
This book should therefore prove a useful source of general reference for both the student and the more advanced reader.
As with any means of communication, drawings must be clear and capable of being interpreted correctly.
This can only be achieved by the adoption of recognised standards and conventions and by giving careful attention to style, presentation and layout.
This book divides broadly into four parts. The first deals with the basic general principles of drawing office practice, including recognised conventions.
The second briefly describes sketching techniques and three-dimensional drawings. (A knowledge of the basic principles of perspective and sketching will be useful to any engineer, technician or draughtsman,
since sketching is a commonly used form of communicating ideas during discussions on both aesthetic and technical matters.)
The third deals with developments in the use of the computer for drawing and detailing. The fourth shows drawing examples typical of those prepared in so me of the specialist branches of civil engineering.
In order to achieve continuity and to simplify descriptions in the text, most of the detailing illustrations have been drawn from just a few typical, but smalI, civil engineering projects.
The author believes that the frequent references to the relationship between drawing preparation and construction practice, and photographs of a variety of civil engineering works,
will promote in the student an interest in civil engineering in general and the preparation of drawings in particular.

Preface to Civil Engineering Drawings PDF Book
Although this book is intended primarily as an aid to the young engineer, technician or draughtsman working in a civil engineering design office, the needs of the construction student have also been strongly borne in mind.The author's aim is not only to describe the general principles of good drawing office practice, but also to illustrate how these principles are applied in many specialised branches of civil engineering.
This book should therefore prove a useful source of general reference for both the student and the more advanced reader.
