Preface

This helpful book does not claim any originality and cannot be used as a
substitute for prescribed textbooks. The main objectives of this book for B-Tech
2nd Year (Civil Engineering) aspirants to cover syllabus in simple Language in
short time preparations with previous important conventional questions. The
book covers the syllabus prescribed by almost all the Universities of India and
abroad.

I express my deep sense of gratitude to my grandfather Late Haji Mohammad

Abbas for being a constant inspiration for me with continuous support and
motivation. Special appreciations are extended to my lovely parents and all
those who have been an advantage to my career, professional and moral
