Includes bibliographical references (pages 349-352) and index.
Site engineering IS design -- Grading constraints -- Contours and form -- Interpolation and slope -- Grading of simple design elements -- Grading process -- Soils in construction -- Earthwork -- Storm water management -- Soil erosion and sediment control -- Determining rates and volumes of storm runoff: the rational and modified rational methods -- Natural resources conservation service methods of estimating runoff rates, volumes, and required detention storage -- Designing and sizing storm water management systems -- Site layout and dimensioning -- Horizontal road alignment -- Vertical road alignment.
The leading choice for site engineering, planning, and construction courses, as well as for practitioners in the field, Site Engineering for Landscape Architects introduces the principles and techniques of basic site engineering for grading, drainage, earthwork, and road alignment. This edition maintains the text's recognized quality, while revising its content to keep readers up to date with current technologies in the field of landscape architecture. Perfect for use as a study guide for the most difficult section of the Landscape Architecture Registration Exam (LARE) or as a handy professional reference, Site Engineering for Landscape Architects gives readers a strong foundation for engaging in site development that is environmentally sensitive and intellectually stimulating.
