Pls house, i just got admitted to study Civil Engineering in the University. I would like to know textbooks to buy for my first year. Thanks.

Buy strength of Material by R.S Khurmi . It is good for those studying civil engineering. In it you will see topics like Bending Moment ,and Shear force with uniform and varying load , Mohr's circle , Torsion and other relevant topics . You can also add Engineering Mathematics by K.A Stroud. ..the list is much but, for now, those two are nice for a start .

Thanks. More suggestions pls

Thanks. More suggestions pls

You will be starting 100level , and will be introduced to basic sciences like physics,chemistry mathematics, philosophy, etc...but not engineering science; which is on whole new level . But I suggest you ask older students who have gone through the system ; they are in a better position to know the kind of books you will need in your first year. However , the books I recommended will do nicely in your second and third year.

Year one should be general courses, meanwhile let me list as much as I can remember some I can't remember the authors complete name again while others you can get one of any author provided its in S.I units and readily available.
1. Engineering Maths by K.A Stroud
2. Advance Engineering maths by K.A Stroud
3. Engineering drawing.
4. Strength of materials by khurmi
5. Theory of structures by khurmi
6. Fluid mechanics and hydraulics by Rhajput.
7. Soil mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering by Das.
8. Building construction handbook by chudley.
9. Simplified Reinforced Concrete design by Oyenuga
10. Design of foundations by Onyenuga
11. Water Engineering system and Environmental Engineering by Agunwamba
12. Civil Emgineering dictionary by Oxford.
13. Engineering Survey and Photogrammetry.
13. Highway Engineering.
14. Engineering Construction Management.
15. Steel structural design manual 6th Edition.
16. Reinforced concrete design SS Ray.
17. Bs codes (PDF).
18. Detailing Manual by ISTRUCT.
19. Quantity take off in Civil Engineering.
20. Concrete Technology.

These are the key ones I can remember but I have many of them in PDF files if you are in lagos I can gives those in PDF. Be strong you will need it

[quote author=bossboy91 post=71694674][/quote]you welcome and all the best.

Depending on your school but if it's a technology School FUT's then Your first year should be basically only science based courses...
Based on this i will advise you get all your secondary school notes and ESPECIALLY Advanced Level Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics( by Bunday) that one used by IJMB students...

THOSE TEXTBOOK QUOTED ABOVE
are good but sincerely they would be more needed in YEAR 3 when you fully enter the Department...

you don't need any textbook focusing on civil engineering.
You're still a fresher, and thus a science student still.
Get engineering mathematics ka Stroud, and take ur phy Chem textbooks from home.

what about engineering textbooks for those offering computer & elect/elect engineering?

The ones with Nigerian authors are hard copies you can get them from CMS or probably your school, rajput is hardcopy, Bscodes is about 1gb so I can't send the complete package and Civil engineering dictionary oxford is hardcopy I will send another. Going through about 20gb of materials is difficult so I might end up sending as much as I can.

Rajput is hardcopy, I don't have the PDF.

please i need the pdf of these books from number 7, how can i meet or reach you? plese, my email is biotunde@gmail.com....thanks

@maxnedu11 good day.please if you can,help me with the following books please please from your above list of civil books , 4,5,7,8,9,10,11,14 and 16 .my email is
nanamm4real@yahoo.com

Hello big bros please can you help me with those civil engineering books sir, my email address is adesojiagboola8@gmail.com thanks.

Someone should recommend a book in structural Analysis for me.
