This book has been designed to meet the needs of students preparing for all kinds of competitive examinations and entrance tests for admission to postgraduate courses and job recruitment. About 4000 objective-type questions of different kinds, especially the multiple choice variety, from the different areas of civil engineering are included. Important definitions and essential formulae including code provisions, where applicable, are given. The accent is on quality rather than on quantity.
