Components are totally new and are include as per new syllabus. Also chapter of Site
investigation and ground techniques is separated from the chapter of Foundation. In the
chapter of Construction Equipments, almost all the types of construction equipments and
machineries which are normally used in civil engineering projects have been included. A few
new problems on CPM and PERT are also added.
The book in its 32 chapters now contains:
