Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Understand how buildings are assembled and why they performBuilding Construction Technology for Architecture and Engineering connects materials, structural systems, enclosures, services, and construction operations in one integrated technical text. It shows how design intent becomes coordinated, buildable work and how small interface decisions affect safety, durability, comfort, carbon, cost, and schedule.The book develops from site operations and foundations through concrete, masonry, steel, light wood framing, and mass timber. It then follows the environmental control layers through thermal bridges, water, air, vapor, roofs, curtain walls, windows, and doors. Later chapters coordinate interiors, fire resistance, acoustics, accessibility, vertical circulation, mechanical and electrical systems, temporary works, testing, commissioning, sustainability, and whole-building delivery.Built for serious study and practical reference- Step-by-step derivations with variables and units defined- Worked examples drawn from realistic building decisions- Technical diagrams that clarify load paths, control layers, interfaces, and workflows- Comparison tables for material selection, detailing, testing, and coordination- End-of-chapter problems with answers for independent practice- Coverage of mass timber, enclosure science, embodied carbon, circularity, and resilienceArchitecture, architectural engineering, civil engineering, construction management, and building science readers can use the text for coursework, design studios, technical interviews, or field reference. The case-centered approach links calculations to drawings, specifications, sequencing, inspection, and commissioning evidence.The final integrated case study demonstrates how site, structure, envelope, services, interiors, procurement, verification, and occupied performance become one traceable decision system. Readers finish with a framework for seeing the whole building while still resolving the details that make it work.…
