Robin Barry's Construction of Buildings was first published in
1958 in 5 volumes, rapidly becoming a standard text on construction. In
its current 2 volume format Barry remains hugely popular with both
students and lecturers of construction and related disciplines. The third edition of Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings
expands and deepens your understanding of construction technology. It
covers the construction of larger-scale buildings (primarily
residential, commercial and industrial) constructed with load bearing
frames, supported by chapters on fit-out and second fix, lifts and
escalators, off-site construction and a new chapter on building
obsolescence and revitalisation. Functional and performance requirements
of the main building elements are emphasised throughout, as is building
efficiency and meeting the challenges of limiting the environmental
impact of buildings. You will find the text fully up to date with the
latest building regulations and construction technologies. The
new edition, with supporting material at
www.wiley.com/go/barrysintroduction, is an ideal information source for
developing a wider and deeper understanding of construction technology.
