Description
Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings is an up-to-date guide to building practices and construction skills. Building on the introductory material from its predecessor, this comprehensive volume offers a thorough grounding in construction and its various facets.
Emphasizing large-scale buildings with load-bearing frames in timber, concrete, and steel, as well as chapters on offsite construction, piling, envelopes to framed buildings, fit-out and second fix, lifts and escalators, building pathology, upgrading and demolition, the latest edition incorporates critical new material. Updates throughout reflect the latest building practices and professional knowledge.
With a focus on low-carbon construction, this book is an essential tool for students working towards qualifications in building and construction, as well as a handy reference for construction professionals in any area.
