I authored the books titled 'Aesthetics & Motivations in Civil Engineering-A Quest for Beauty' & 'Time Management of Construction Projects'. In the first book, I delve into the concept of civil engineering motivations and its connections to various construction methods. I provide ten compelling examples that illustrate the importance of engineering aesthetics and the underlaying motivations in construction that also drive the pursuit of beauty. While much is written and said about beauty and aesthetics in pure science, this is the first time that the same is being identified and discussed in this Book for civil engineering / construction.
In my second book "Time Management of Construction Projects" the subject is presented in a comprehensive manner touching all other issues as Time Management has impact on several not so obvious issues also. Thus, issues such as Design Basis Reports, Schedule Risk Management, Method Statement, Earned Value Management (EVM) techniques which is highly recommended for managing construction works are covered in this book.

The picture is a schematic layout of the manufacturing of TMT reinforcement steel bars. These bars offer tremendous advantage and simultaneously of high strength with almost no additional cost involved during manufacturing. This is discussed in detail in the Book.
Who Should Read this Book
(i) Students: The objective of teaching/learning is to impart the required knowledge and skill to the students. But it is important that there is complete understanding of the issues. This book provides wealth of knowledge related to civil engineering and sincere attempt is made to explain why / the motivations. This makes all the difference. This book mostly discusses issues regarding practical/on-the-job matters which the students should learn about the same as soon as possible.
(ii) Engineers: Experiences or new engineers can use this book on the similar lines as mentioned for the students. Thereafter they can seek more information on other issues of interest to them from other sources such as the internet. This book will pave the path for the practicing engineers to become life-long learners..
(iii) Scientists / R&D professionals / Innovators: To understand innovation w.r.t. civil engineering and will surely help them in their work to innovate in their job.
(iv) Artists / Philosophers: This is important as this book makes an attempt to identify the Motivations and Beauty & Aesthetics aspects of (Civil) engineering. This will enhance their depth of knowledge.
(v) Anyone interested in science/tech. and its ways.
By the use of nine compelling examples in construction/civil engineering I have highlighted the common motivations in construction technology and civil engineering. On examination it is also found that the methods adopted by this profession are beautiful because they possess traits such as simplicity, ease of adoption, promoting further development in similar ways in other areas of construction/civil engineering, low-level of skill required for implementation etc
Much has been said about beauty of pure science methods such as General Relativity Theory, Atomic Model Discovery Experiment etc. It is now agreed by all that in science the theory that is beautiful/simple/elegant find quick experimental proof. They also lay the foundation for research and development in a big way for others to move ahead in other related areas. But this is the first time that same has been identified for construction/civil engineering through the subject book.
Construction Industry is the second largest employer next only to agriculture and the above said traits are typical to the Indian working environment and offer a huge advantage as the construction industry employs low-skill level workers in very large % of the total. Also, construction industry has huge multiplier factor in the Nation’s economy as it utilizes the services and products of several up-stream and down-stream industries such as consultancy, manufacturing, equipment, large process plants such as thermal power plants, fertilizer plants etc (for construction).
Two sectors of the designated core sectors of the economy viz cement & steel are supported by construction works as they consume bulk of their produce. About 60% of the national development plan budget goes into construction. Further R&D should take note of this book and develop new products and services accordingly for excellent success. There are several issues that need to be delt with in the future such as circular economy, control of wastages, dissemination of information/knowledge etc. This book provides certain common suggestions that will help further development in construction to get excellent success.
India has rich past wherein several simple and excellent methods were used in civil engineering/construction context to achieve good social development and creation of sustainable infrastructure parts of which exists even today as proof of our past glory. Civil Engineering is a highly people centric discipline and should leadthe path for all other disciples if all-round sustainability and sustainable development is to be ensured.
This book is being published by “Motilal Banarsidass Publishing House, Naraina, New Delhi”.
The Author of the book is Er Anil Chadha who has 30 years of experience in Construction Industry. The author being a civil engineer and has keen interest in science since childhood. I have read “Taos of Physics” in 10th standard and also read “Brief History of Time” by Stephan Hawkins. The author is also very fond of Science Fiction in books & movies. The author got inspired to write this book when he realized that civil engineering is such a vast subject and it too must have motivations/elegance/simplicity/steady growth/etc. hidden in its ways/methods and needs to be discovered. He may be contacted for further discussion/information.

Press Release dated 29th Dec. 2025
You can send me a message or ask me a general question using WhatsApp/phone/email, especially if you're curious about the civil engineering beauty or the engineering aesthetics that influence modern projects. Similarly, you are welcome to discuss on my Book "Time Management of Construction Projects" Whether you're interested in innovative construction methods, beauty or want to discuss the motivations in construction, I will do my best to get back to you soon!
