Summary: This revised and updated edition of Construction Equipment Management fills a gap on this subject by integrating both conceptual and hands-on quantitative knowledge on construction equipment into a process that facilitates student learning. The book is divided into three sections: Introductory Concepts Equipment Types Advanced Concepts The introductory section summarizes interdisciplinary concepts that are necessary to ground student's learning on construction equipment management, including both engineering and economics. The second section consist of 16 chapters each covering a different type of construction equipment and associated methods of use. The third section introduces more advanced concepts including operational analysis, economic management and safety and environmental management. This allows the book to be used on numerous courses at different levels to prepare graduates to apply skills on construction equipment when planning for a new project, estimating its costs, and monitoring field operations. Organized around the major categories of construction equipment, including both commercial and heavy civil examples, case studies, and exercises, this textbook will help students develop independence in applying concepts to hands-on scenarios. A companion website provides an instructor manual, solutions.
