Klappentext
Discover the big picture on building construction materials and methods in this fully-updated eighth edition of the leading text on the subject
The construction of buildings depends on the contributions of professionals from diverse fields, including architecture, construction management, civil and structural engineering, and more. All of these professionals, however, must understand the principles and materials that underlie the construction process in order to fulfil their roles in the project.
After more than a generation, Fundamentals of Building Construction continues to be the essential introduction to this subject for students in all construction-related fields. Highly readable and based on extensive pedagogical practice, it represents decades of experience in architecture and the building trades. Now updated to reflect the latest methods and industry practices, it promises to remain foundational for another generation of students.
Readers of the eighth edition of Fundamentals of Building Construction will also find:
- Significantly expanded treatment of the newest practices for mass timber construction
- Expanded discussion of the principles of enclosure design, along with an all-new case study illustrating the practical application of these principles
- Continued emphasis on sustainable construction and carbon emissions, extensively updated images and diagrams, and updates through all chapters of the text
Fundamentals of Building Construction is the ideal learning tool and resource for every architect and construction professional to help build a successful career.
