Books on Construction Methods?
(OP)
Hi All,
As a design engineer, with a few years office experience and very little site experience, I was looking for recommendations on literature covering all aspects of construction methods.
I was hoping on a few books which cover modern methods of construction, best practices, rules of thumb, etc.
thanks in advance

The first book looks good, although I work in Bridges, so not sure how relevant this will be?
I'm struggling to find the second book?

has a section on bridges, geared more towards maintenance and maybe a bit simplistic.
