You have an excellent website for engineers….
Thank you so much for FREE BOOKS!!!
More power…
Books are usefull, e-books arrive anywhere.
thanks.
Dear sir, I want const. methodolgy for dam const.
Hi,
I am basically a Design Engineer (Civil), your site is very helpful, thank yuo so much
For your kindness, please allow me to say thank you very much to you. All materials in your website are very helpfull. God Bless You.

Thank you, More books please, especially for WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, please guide me where i can get solid waste management, air pollution control and waste water engineering books. THANK YOU, THIS BIG, YOU SEE IT?
Hi, i’m from Mozambique, in Africa, and i’d like to yhank you so much for this website wich allow us to acces for free a lot of engineering information. I’m an engineering studant and unfortunately books are very expencive here. so Thank you and may this site keep for long.
best wishes.
Melchior
thanks so much for this info. i can upgrade knowledge. will continue to patronise ur site
thanks alot
Dear Sir, thank you very much for a indipensable website you have provided for civil engineers.
Iam so greatful to you all.

Planet of Earth Energy Crisis.
Dear Sir
Subject mater all our the World facing Energy problem So I am try to explain a idea for Old & New Dams / Reservoirs Hydel Civil Design can move in architectural Transition to increase our energy potential Because we are losing heavy quantum of already storage water in our Big Dams to generate past technology now need to convert into New theory of Technology.
Thanks.
with best regards.
Gravity dam design is still a reference manual for all dam engineers. I use it , as a dam designer, as a basis for all stability calculations.
Planet of Earth Energy Crisis.
Dear Sir,
The Subject matter is all over the World facing Energy problem, So I am trying to Explain an idea for Old & New Dams / Reservoirs Hydro electric projects Civil Design Geometry Can be modifying in Architectural Transition to increase our energy potential. Because we are Losing heavy quantum of already storage water in our Big Dams and its relevant projects to generate Hydro Electric old technology, Now it must be need to convert into new theory of Scientific Technology as per utilizing in the way of experiment with foreign expertise at any Hydro electric base Model of concern Department or forum to finalize the following unique and entire world Globalize developing idea for its further implementations in the current ongoing and next coming future Hydel projects as soon as possible.
Thanks.
with best regards.
Technology in dam and hydropower is already mature since some tens of years. Very little changes happened in civil and mechanical parts. New issues are mostly in electronic for control systems. Therefore lots of informations can be gathered from the books from the 60′s.
I suggest to download from this web site
http://www.usbr.gov/pmts/hydraulics_lab/pubs/manuals_monographs.html#monographs
the USBR books such as small dams, arch dams, gravity dams, etc. etc.
Dear colleague possibly with help with your materials
or recommend for any web site with materials about
construction and restructuring of the foundations of dams, as
I’m preparing the certificate, master’s thesis, I am from
Kosovo and materials in this area are limited measure.
All the best.
Dear sir, am a final year civil engineering student. Am doing project on structural design of a dam for a village community. pls help me to go about this project and also with software.
thanks
