Biographie de l'auteur

Cameron K. Andres graduated from the University of Manitoba (1966) with a B Sc in Civil Engineering and then worked as a structural design engineer in Western Canada for nine years (1966 to 1975).

 

He taught at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Calgary Alberta (1975- 2000) in the Civil Engineering Technology Program where he taught courses including strength of materials, structural design, concrete technology, and computer assisted structural analysis.  During this time, he earned a degree diploma (1990) in Adult Education from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta.

 

In 1978 he co-authored the textbook–Masonry: Materials Design Construction, published by Reston Publishing.

 

He began the long association with Prentice Hall in 1986 by doing the third edition of Principles and Practices of Heavy Construction which was the precursor to Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction, 8th Edition.

 

Cameron Andres retired from teaching in 2000 and is presently living on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Quatrième de couverture

This revision of a classic in the field provides readers with a complete overview of the traditional concepts and practices, as well as the pre-engineered components that are used in the construction of commercial building. From building layout to exterior finishing, this edition describes and illustrates the various stages of the building process, and since the industry relies on both standard and metric units of measurement, material dimensions, tables, details, and worked examples are provided in both standard and metric units.
