Experiment Design for Civil Engineering 1st Edition

Grab the practical guide every modern engineer turns to when planning reliable tests: Experiment Design for Civil Engineering, 1st Edition by Francis J. Hopcroft and Abigail J. Charest. This concise, authoritative volume translates rigorous experimental principles into clear, on‑the‑job solutions for laboratory work and field investigations across construction, geotechnical, structural, and hydraulic projects.

Start with a solid foundation in experimental planning, variable control, and sampling strategies, then move through statistical tools—factorial designs, regression, ANOVA, and uncertainty analysis—applied specifically to civil engineering problems. The book emphasizes practical decision making: how to choose test methods, reduce bias, size experiments cost‑effectively, and interpret data so results influence real projects and specifications.

Engineers, graduate students, researchers, and project managers will appreciate the book’s balance of theory and application. Realistic examples and case studies demonstrate testing for soil, concrete, structural components, and hydraulic systems, making it an invaluable reference for university courses and industry practice alike. Whether you’re preparing lab protocols for a North American construction site, designing field trials in Europe, or supervising quality control in Australia, the guidance here is directly applicable.

Clear, professional, and action‑oriented, Experiment Design for Civil Engineering equips you to design smarter experiments, reduce uncertainty, and deliver defensible results. Order your copy today to improve testing efficiency and strengthen the technical backbone of your projects.
