BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 2 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Developed for trainee and practising building professionals, this volume develops the crucial concept of a "satisfactory" building, in terms of its performance both as a whole and as a series of interrelated elements. The book has been divided into five parts. The first explores the effects of climate on various types of buildings, and examines the role of the building as a climatic barrier. The second deals with forms of deterioration in buildings and details the means of investigating them. Part 3 gives a thorough account of the theory and practice of fire technology, stressing its importance as a factor in building design. Part 4 concentrates on the need for standards of quality in construction, achieved through the use of accurate specifications. The final section of the book consists of five case studies which illustrate the problems involved in the design and construction of buildings which will perform to their specified standards. The text provides complete coverage of relevant parts of the CIOB Member syllabus. Practice questions are provided at the end of each chapter. Ian Chandler is also the author of "Building Technology 3".
