Civil Engineering: Books

These pages bring together key resources for students of Civil Engineering. It helps students and staff find books, ebooks, articles, journals and more

Intro!

Our library contains a collection of resources (books, periodicals, reference materials, and sometimes films) for borrowing by the University of Pretoria community. However, the dedicated space for print books is not sizeable enough to house all the books in the world. As a result, we are subscribed to a number of databases where our patrons can access electronic resources such as e-books, journal articles and videos.
