These rules of thumb are the result of preserving and structuring the immense knowledge of experienced engineers collected and compiled by the author - an experienced engineer himself - into an invaluable book that helps younger engineers find their way from symptoms to causes. This sourcebook is unrivalled in its depth and breadth of coverage, listing five important aspects for each piece of equipment:* area of application* sizing guideliEngineeringMethodologyCivil engineeringVocational guidanceEngineeringMethodology.Civil engineeringVocational guidance.620.002620.004Woods Donald R102565MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830871203321Rules of thumb in engineering practice4063826UNINA
