This new edition has been thoroughly updated to bring it into line with recent changes in British Standards and developments in construction techniques while retaining the comprehensive approach for which it is renowned.
The book begins by discussing general aspects of buildings, such as function, production and structural issues. Each building part is then detailed in terms of function, efficiency, limitations and economy. The nature of the building materials commonly used is taken into account. This book and its companion volume, Structure and Fabric Part One are an ideal resource for students of architecture, construction, surveying and structural engineering. It will also be a useful for practitioners who need to keep up-to-date with current practices.

Store description
BookLovers of Bath is based in the rural idyll of Peasedown St. John in Somerset (God's Own Country) in the south west of England and actually very nearly in Bath. After 20 years of being “internet only” I have now opened a shop, Fact or Fable, in the premises of our now-closed Post Office. With over 10,000 books in my, recently shrunken, storage unit and another 5,000 or so in the shop I run an old-fashioned book business with every book listed, graded, picked, packed and posted by my own fair hand… abetted by my Jack Russells who are really, not, helpful.…
