Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings
Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-1-119-73488-8 (ISBN)
Since 1958, Barry’s Construction of Buildings has served as a standard guide to building practices and construction skills. The second volume of this two-volume format, Barry’s Advanced Construction of Buildings builds on the introductory material of the first volume to offer readers a thorough grounding in construction and its various facets. Emphasizing large-scale buildings, particularly those with load-bearing frames in timber, concrete and steel, and supported by chapters on offsite construction, piling, envelopes to framed buildings, fit-out and second fix, lifts and escalators, building pathology, upgrading and demolition, this latest edition incorporates critical new material, including
New questions in each chapter designed to enhance learning
Updates throughout reflecting the latest building practices and professional knowledge
A new focus on low-carbon construction
Barry’s Advanced Construction of Buildings is an essential tool for any student working towards qualifications in building and construction, and a handy reference for construction professionals in any area.
Stephen Emmitt, PhD, is Professor of Architectural Practice at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, University of Bath, UK. He is an architect with industrial experience.
