Description

The five volume series, 'Barry's Construction of Buildings', has been established as a standard text on building technology for many years. However, a substantial update has long been required, and while doing this, the opportunity has been taken to reduce five volumes to two in a more user-friendly format.

This new Advanced Construction of Buildings replaces volumes 3, 4 and part of 5, completing the revision that started with last year's Introduction. The extensive revision includes modern concepts on site assembly, environmental issues and safety, and features further reading. The contents are as follows:- Preface; Acknowledgements; Chapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Scaffolding And Associated Work; Chapter 3 Foundations And Substructures; Chapter 4 Single Storey Frames, Shells And Lightweight Coverings; Chapter 5 Structural Steel Frames; Chapter 6 Structural Concrete Frames; Chapter 7 Cladding And Curtain Wall Construction; Chapter 8 Prefabrication And Off-Site Production; Chapter 9 Lifts And Escalators; Chapter 10 Fit Out And Second Fix; Chapter 11 Heating, Cooling And Services Provision; Chapter 12 Alternative Approaches To Construction; Appendix A Web Sites; Appendix B Additional References; Index
