COMSTRUCTION DESIGN FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

This reference is for use of landscape architects, contractors and civil engineers for design of site improvement and for checking layout and earthwork for bidding and construction calculations. It reviews the calculated bearings and dimensions that a surveyor incorporates in a plot for a record and shows how limitations, and parabolic cross sections used in road layout, plus dimensions and grading considerations for layout of parking areas. The relation of utilities to topography and site improvement is shown and a systematic procedure for the design of sprinkler irrigation systems demonstrated. Each type of problem is first treated in a summary form, followed by a solution of a typical problem, and where necessary, concludes with a detailed explanation of the method of solution.
