Standard Practice for Bracing Masonry Walls: Developed by Council of Masonry Wall Bracing and recognized by OSHA as an acceptable method of bracing masonry walls, this manual provides for evacuation of restricted zone at various wind levels and bracing heights.
Construction Safety and Health: This book offers an up-to-date, practical resource that focuses specifically on the needs of modern construction professionals and on the requirements set forth by OSHA and other regulatory agencies relating specifically to construction. Extensive coverage of construction safety and health with topics including: job safety and hazard analysis, emergency response plan, and preventing violence in the workplace. Includes comprehensive and current coverage of all sections of 29 CFR 1926 of OSHA's Construction Standard. For construction professionals.
Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Civil Engineering): The Seventh Edition of Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods, follows in the footsteps of the previous editions by providing the reader with the fundamentals of machine utilization and production estimating in a logical, simple, and concise format. Our text features expanded coverage of building in today's global environment. Hundreds of photos and illustrations have been added to the seventh edition to make this dynamic text even more accessible to both students and professionals. In addition, since technology is constantly evolving, this text provides an understanding of machine capabilities and how to properly apply those capabilities to construction challenges.
Project Management for Engineering and Construction: The purpose of this book is to present the principles and techniques of project management, beginning with the conceptual phase by the owner, through coordination of design and construction, to project completion. Throughout this book, the importance of management skills is emphasized to enable the user to develop his or her own style of project management. The focus is to apply project management at the beginning of a project, when it is first approved. Too often the formal organization to manage a project is not developed until the beginning of the construction phase. This book presents the information that must be assembled and managed during the development and engineering design phase to bring a project to successful completion by the owner.
Bob's Rigging & Crane Handbook Desk Size (7th Edition): Large desk reference size 8.25″x10.75″, softbound. This book contains new and updated information on slings, wire rope, rigging hardware and mobile crane operations. Included are industry standards and OSHA regulation.
Construction Methods and Management (8th Edition): Construction Methods and Management, 8/e, is designed to guide construction engineers and managers in planning, estimating, and directing construction operations safely and effectively. Comprehensive and up-to-date, the text integrates major construction management topics with an explanation of the methods of heavy/highway and building construction. It incorporates both customary U.S. units and metric (SI) units and is the only text to present concrete formwork design equations and procedures using both measurement systems. This edition features information on the latest developments in soil excavation, asphalt paving, and earthmoving equipment.
Building Construction Illustrated: For nearly three decades, Building Construction Illustrated has offered an outstanding introduction to the principles of building construction. This new edition of the revered classic remains as relevant as ever-providing the latest information in Francis D.K. Ching's signature style. Its rich and comprehensive approach clearly presents all of the basic concepts underlying building construction and equips readers with useful guidelines for approaching virtually any new materials or techniques they may encounter.
Fundamentals of Building Construction: Materials and Methods: Now in its Fifth Edition, this essential textbook has been used by thousands of students annually in schools of architecture, engineering, and construction technology. The bestselling reference focuses on the basic materials and methods used in building construction, emphasizing common construction systems such as light wood frames, masonry bearing walls, steel frames, and reinforced concrete. New introductory material on the processes, organization, constraints, and choices in construction offers a better look at the management of construction. New sections covering the building envelope uncover the secrets to designing enclosures for thermal insulation, vapor retarders, air barriers, and moisture control. The Fifth Edition also features more axonometric detail drawings and revised photographs for a thoroughly illustrated approach and the latest IBC 2006, CSI MasterFormat, ASTM references, and LEED information.
Engineering Economic Analysis: Jerome Lavelle, co-author Engineering Economic Analysis, 11E, won the 2011 Wellington Award, which is given at the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) Annual Conference & Expo and recognizes outstanding contributions in the field of engineering economy.

Mark DeSantis runs www.learncivilengineering.com and has published a great manual for the construction depth exam, the Construction Depth Practice Exam and Assessment Guide.
This book covers your depth section as well as giving you an assessment of where you are with your studying. You'll get the top 40 questions asked on the construction exam.
People have found this exam to be one of the most realistic exams for the construction depth exam and I think it is worth your purchase if you are taking that depth section.
Dr. Goswami is at it again. He's made some good breadth practice exams and now has branched off to make them for each individual depth section.
This is the second printing of this book and now includes updates to meet the new specification from the NCEES organization.
You'll get 40 breadth and 40 depth questions with this book. This book is brand new so the general opinion on the book hasn't really surfaced, but based on his previous books I'm sure this can only help. If I were taking the depth section in construction I would give this a go. For the price it is a steel.
