From the Back Cover
For nearly half a century, Construction has been the standard reference in the field for architecture and construction professionals and students. Encyclopedic in scope, it provides in-depth coverage of virtually all accepted principles, materials, methods, codes, and standards used in the design and construction of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings.
Over the course of sixteen extremely well-illustrated chapters, this Seventh Edition covers the key practical issues involved in most residential and commercial building construction - from site preparation to concrete finish, masonry design to plastic fabrications, waterproofing to sprinkler systems, air conditioning to heat conveyance, and much more. It also provides vital descriptive information on design basics, detail components, material and product specification, and construction documentation, along with helpful pointers on how to avoid pitfalls commonly encountered in building design and construction.
Extensively updated and expanded coverage of construction to reflect the latest industry standards and construction materials and methods, this seventh edition features:
* New and expanded coverage of construction documents and administration, pre-stressed and post-tensioned structural concrete, heavy timber framing, wood siding, "green" materials, plumbing systems, and more
* Guidelines for architects on how to handle the bidding and negotiation phases of a building construction project.
* An appendix featuring up-to-date contact information for key building organizations, associations, and agencies
Constructions, Seventh Edition is an indispensable working reference for architects, architectural engineers, home builders, interior designers, and all construction professionals. It is also an unparalleled educational resource for undergraduate and graduate students in those fields.
