Synopsis

`Although undoubtedly of use to structural engineers, it has been written with a wider readership in mind and merits a place on architectural bookshelves since it deals with architectural design and building construction as well as structural engineering aspects ...Refreshingly free of that dryness of style that blights so many technical books ...the authors are to be congratulated on producing an excellent book which will undoubtedly prove an invaluable work of reference'. The Architects' Journal on the first edition. The second edition of this major handbook on design data on the structural use of brickwork and blockwork, has been revised in accordance with the new Part 2 of BS5628, includes amendments to Part 1 issued since the book was first published and provides a number of new design charts.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Brickwork has long been regarded as an attractive cladding material and blockwork is increasing in its appeal. Both are durable materials with good thermal and acoustic insulation and fire resistance. What′s more, both are economical structural materials that can often be used to build faster and more cheaply and more easily than steel or concrete frameworks. Since the first edition was published over a decade ago, this major handbook has made a considerable contribution to increasing the awareness and potential of structural masonry. It covers the main structural elements and forms of brick and blockwork, the application of reinforcing and post–tensioning, and includes a number of the authors own structural developments. A major feature is a series of step–by–step design examples of typical elements and buildings, based on BS 5628. Available for the first time in paperback, the second edition has been revised to take account of the latest edition of BS 5628.
