This Book is designed for Civil Engineering aspirants those are appearing in Mains Exam of JPSC (Jharkhand Public Service Commission) Assistant Engineer. It covers complete syllabus of Section-I (Objective Papers) of JPSC Mains by dividing it in three parts; Civil Engineering Paper-I, Civil Engineering Paper-II and General Ability according to the Exam pattern. The Book not only consists major subjects of Civil Engineering, like SOM, TOS, Building Materials, RCC, Steel, Soil, Environment, FM, Machines, Highways, but also, includes minor subjects, such as Railway and Airport, Docks and Harbour, etc. Even, in the Book, the General Ability part is also classified in sub-parts of General English, Indian History, Polity, Economy, Geography, General Science and in most important Current Affairs. The Book also includes questions of Previous Year JPSC Mains Exam. There are a total of 4100+ questions in the Book published in more than 600 Pages. Due to its exam oriented pattern, we hope, this Book will fulfill all needs of aspirants of JPSC Mains.

For more than 30 years "Civil Engineering: Conventional and Objective Type" continues to be a comprehensive text aided by a collection of multiple-choice questions specifically for aspirants of various competitive examinations such as GATE, UPSC, IAS, IES and SSC-JE among others as well as students who are preparing for university examinations. The new edition contains 17 chapters where every important concept of Civil Engineering is fairly treated. On the other hand, the questions provided in this book have been selected from various potent resources to provide the students with an idea of how the questions are set and what type of questions to expect on the final day

Introduction to Engineering Construction Inspection offers expert tools and advice on construction inspection for buildings and civil engineering projects, including construction of roads, highways, pipelines, reservoirs, water and wastewater projects, hydroelectric, and other large engineered projects. More than 150 informative illustrations supplement expert coverage of the activities and processes involved in observing and documenting a project through the construction phase–from initial site work and geotechnical work to major engineered structural systems in concrete and steel, and project acceptance by the owner.

New Materials in Civil Engineering provides engineers and scientists with the tools and methods needed to meet the challenge of designing and constructing more resilient and sustainable infrastructures.
