Book Description
Building Construction: Principles, Materials, and Systems has been substantially revised from its highly acclaimed second edition. The revisions are in response to the incessantly expanding methods of construction, and the changes in construction detailing resulting from the updates in codes and regulation. Almost every chapter has been revised to some degree with several new line art and photographs, but significant changes have occurred in chapters related to construction project delivery; building codes and regulations; properties of building envelop; mandate for the use of continuous envelope insulation; detailing of exterior wall assemblies; use of wood in mid-rise (six-to seven-story) construction; cold-formed steel construction; and tilt-up wall construction, roofing, and floor coverings. The division of its content is in two part - Part I: Principles (that is, the science) of construction and Part II: Materials and systems of construction.

Book Description
Using an innovative, integrated approach, this book explores the linkages between the science of materials and the practices of construction to help future architects and builders deal more critically with the ever-increasing array of new materials and the consequent increase in the complexities of construction. This book presents and integrates the scientific principles of building materials and construction and their relationships with actual practices. Issues are covered that are relevant to every building type regardless of whether the primary material used in the building is wood, masonry, steel, or concrete. It begins with a brief treatment of building codes and standards since all building construction must conform to building codes as a minimum requirement. It provides full-chapter coverage of structural, thermal, fire related properties, transparency, air infiltration, water vapor and (bulk) water penetration, and dimensional control in buildings. It offers a flexible organization, so content can be covered sequentially or in parts. The U.S. system of units is used primarily throughout, but gives the SI system equal treatment.
