Site Engineering for Landscape Architects (ePub)

The Leading Guide To Site Design And Engineering--
Revised And Updated

Site Engineering for Landscape Architects is the top
choice for site engineering, planning, and construction courses as
well as for practitioners in the field, with easy-to-understand
coverage of the principles and techniques of basic site engineering
for grading, drainage, earthwork, and road alignment. The Sixth
Edition has been revised to address the latest developments in
landscape architecture while retaining an accessible approach to
complex concepts.

The book offers an introduction to landform and the language of
its design, and explores the site engineering concepts essential to
practicing landscape architecture today--from interpreting
landform and contour lines, to designing horizontal and vertical
road alignments, to construction sequencing, to designing and
sizing storm water management systems. Integrating design with
construction and implementation processes, the authors enable
readers to gain a progressive understanding of the material.

This edition contains completely revised information on storm
water management and green infrastructure, as well as many new and
updated case studies. It also includes updated coverage of storm
water management systems design, runoff calculations, and natural
resource conservation. Graphics throughout the book have been
revised to bring a consistent, clean approach to the
illustrations.

Perfect for use as a study guide for the most difficult section
of the Landscape Architect Registration Exam (LARE) or as a handy
professional reference, Site Engineering for Landscape
Architects, Sixth Edition gives readers a strong foundation in
site development that is environmentally sensitive and
intellectually stimulating.
