Synopsis

How does an architect, engineer or builder determine how much a standard I-beam will deviate in length when incorporated into a building design? Or how much a precast concrete wall will shrink in normal temperatures? This graphics-based reference considers allowable tolerances for major building components and construction systems, including accumulated dimensional variations. Included are standard tolerances that minimize pre-construction problems, settle worksite disputes, aid in construction supervision and save time and money at every stage of building.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The comprehensive guide to construction tolerances, newly revised and updated

How much may a steel frame be out of plumb? What are the expected variations of a precast concrete panel? What is required to successfully detail finish materials on masonry?

Updating and expanding on its popular first edition, the Handbook of Construction Tolerances, Second Edition remains the only comprehensive reference to the thousands of industry standard tolerances for the manufacture, fabrication, and installation of construction materials and components–– including all–important accumulated dimensional variations.

Covering new materials and techniques developed since the book was first published, the Second Edition of this easy–to–use reference features:
∗ More than 100 drawings illustrating the tolerance concepts
∗ New sections on measuring compliance with tolerance standards; right–of–way construction; autoclaved aerated concrete; tilt–up concrete panels; interior stone wall cladding; structural insulated panels; decorative architectural glass; laminated architectural flat glass and bent glass
∗ New guidelines on how to incorporate tolerance requirements in drawings and specifications
∗ New information on how to apply tolerance information during contract administration

With the Handbook, architects, engineers, contractors, interior designers, lawyers, and others involved in the construction industry will be armed with the information they need to design and detail more accurately, write better specifications, establish normal practice and standards of care, supervise construction, settle worksite disputes, and save time and money at every stage of building.
