Description
JOHN WILEY Fundamentals Of Building Construction Materials And Methods by Edward Allen and Joseph Iano
THE #1 REFERENCE ON BUILDING CONSTRUCTION-UPDATED FROM THE GROUND UP Edward Allen and Joseph Iano's Fundamentals of Building Construction has been the go-to reference for thousands of professionals and students of architecture, engineering, and construction technology for over thirty years. The materials and methods described in this new Seventh Edition have been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest advancements in the industry. Carefully selected and logically arranged topics-ranging from basic building methods to the principles of structure and enclosure-help readers gain a working knowledge of the field in an enjoyable, easy-to-understand manner. All major construction systems, including light wood frame, mass timber, masonry, steel frame, light gauge steel, and reinforced concrete construction, are addressed.Now in its Seventh Edition, Fundamentals of Building Construction contains substantial revisions and updates. New illustrations and photographs reflect the latest practices and developments in the industry. Revised chapters address exterior wall systems and high-performance buildings, an updated and comprehensive discussion of building enclosure science, evolving tools for assessing environmental and health impacts of building materials, and more. New and exciting developments in mass timber construction are also included. This Seventh Edition includes:125 new or updated illustrations and photographs, as well as 40 new photorealistic renderingsThe latest in construction project delivery methods, construction scheduling, and trends in information technology affecting building design and constructionUpdated discussion of the latest LEED and Living Building Challenge sustainability standards along with expanded coverage of new methods for assessing the environmental impacts of materials and buildingsExpanded coverage of mass timber materials, fire resistance of mass timber, and the design and construction of tall wood buildingsRevised end-of-chapter sections, including references, websites, key terminology, review questions, and exercisesFully-updated collection of best-in-class ancillary materials: PowerPoint lecture slides, Instructor's Manual, Test Bank, Interactive Exercises, and moreCompanion book, Exercises in Building Construction, available in print and eBook formatFor the nuts and bolts on building construction practices and materials, Fundamentals of Building Construction: Materials and Methods, 7th Edition lays the foundation that every architect and construction professional needs to build a successful career. 1 Making Buildings 3Learning to Build 4Buildings and the Environment 4Other Sustainable Building Programs and Standards 8The Work of the Design Professional 12The Work of the
