Description
The Modern Construction Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to building design and construction. Written by Andrew Watts, this handbook covers the essential aspects of building design in six chapters, including "Material", "Wall", "Roof", "Structure", "Environment," and "Applications". The book includes tried and tested component details, examples focusing on sustainability and energy consumption, and an update on finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This handbook serves as a foundational textbook in many architecture courses.
