Math - Fundamentals Of Engineering - 4th Edition

Fundamentals of Engineering Mathematics bridges the gap between school mathematics and a first year engineering degree providing students with an essential foundation of skills that will be valuable throughout their academic career and beyond. The book covers the key areas including algebra, trigonometry and calculus as well as more detailed coverage of topics such as the equilibrium of bodies, dimensional analysis and experimental data analysis.

Produced by the Institution of Civil Engineers, ICE Textbooks offer clear, concise and practical information on the major principles of civil and structural engineering.

Indian Standard Methods of measurement of building and civil engineering works

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

Measurement occupies a very important place in the planning and execution of any civil engineering
work from the time of first estimates to the final completion and settlement of payments for a project. Methods followed for measurement are not uniform and considerable differences exist between practices followed by different construction agencies and also between various Central and State Government departments. While it is recognized that each system of measurement has to be specifically related to administrative and financial organizations within a department responsible for
the work, a unification of various systems at technical level has been accepted as very desirable,
specially as it permits a wider range of operation for civil engineering contractors and eliminates
ambiguities and misunderstandings of various systems followed.

Among various civil engineering items, measurement of buildings was the first to be taken up for
standardization and this standard having provisions relating to building work was first published in
1958 and was subsequently revised in 1964. In its second revision. the standard was issued in
different parts corresponding to different trades in building and civil engineering works. The third
revision of the standard was published in 1974.

This fourth revision has been brought out to incorporate the changes found necessary in light of
usage of this standard and the suggestions made by various bodies implementing it.

Standard method of measurements of building works - Sri Lanka (SLS 573)

A brief investigation revealed that the Sri Lanka Standards 573 (SLS573): Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works (SMM), which was first revised in 1999, is generally used in the industry. However, it is also viewed that the SMM is not popular enough because of several issues.

This research was aimed at identifying such issues and compiling a "Web-Based User Guide" to make it popular in the industry. The research was focused on to investigating the problem areas of the SMM SLS 573 and to group them under three headings namely; Measurement rules which do no match to local needs, Areas where clarification is required and Omissions where no measurement rules have been given. 

The questionnaire survey received a poor response thus a selected number of professionals were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. It was revealed that many people were reluctant to use the SLS573 because of the ambiguities and non-conformity to local practices.

SMM7 (Standard Method of Measurement SMM7)

The Standard Method of Measurement (SMM) is published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). It was first published in 1922, superseding a Scottish Standard Method of Measurement which was published in 1915. It is now in its seventh edition (SMM7), which was first published in 1988 and revised in 1998.

SMM7 provies detailed information, classification tables and rules for measuring building works. It is important that there is a uniform basis for measuring building works in order to facilitate industry wide consistency and benchmarking, to encourage the adoption of best practice and to help avoid disputes.

SMM7 is typically used in the preparation of bills of quantities, documents that provide measured quantities of the items of work identified by the drawings and specifications in tender documentation. Bills of quantities are issued to tenderers for them to prepare a price for carrying out works.

SMM7 is accompanied by the Code of Procedure for the Measurement of Building Works (the SMM7 Measurement Code). Whilst SMM7 can have a contractual status on a project (for example in the JCT Standard form of Building Contract), the Measurement Code is non-mandatory.

PICCSMM1 is intended to be utilized in conjunction with the General Conditions of Contract, PICC General Specifications or any other relevant provisions provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

The Works shall be itemized and described in Bill of Quantities in sufficient details to enables Bidders / Tenderers to price it adequately and the method of measurement shall be stated in the Preamble to the Bills of Quantities. The Preamble shall state the methods of measurement other than PICCSMM1, if any, which are adopted while preparing the Bill of Quantities and to be used for measurement of completed parts of Works. Such methods of measurement shall comprise those not covered by the PICCSMM1.

The objective of PICCSMM1 is to set forth the procedure according to which the Bills of quantities shall be prepared, priced and the quantities expressed and measured.
