Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature and purpose of design specifications in the building industry, emphasizing their role as communication and control tools, and their importance in assuring the functionality and safety of buildings. The author identifies three requisite properties of design specifications: completeness, uniqueness, and correctness. Completeness ensures that the specification provides all necessary information, uniqueness that it yields only one result in any situation, and correctness that the result is that intended by the specification writers. The book presents formal representation methods for specification provisions, an information network for related provisions, and argument trees for organizing and outlining. It also discusses the use of these representational tools for checking specifications and providing strategies for textual expression, as well as the development of computer aids for specification processing in design and conformance checking. Providing valuable insights into the formulation, expression, and use of design specifications, this book is a valuable resource for specification writers, designers, reviewers for building regulatory authorities, and researchers seeking to improve specification content and formats. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
