Building Construction: Site and Below-grade Systems

This third volume in VNR's "Building Construction Series" provides construction professionals with details on site and below-grade systems in the form that they need it: both piecemeal and for whole building projects. It covers site construction involved in basements, underground buildings, and other forms of construction under the ground. Case studies offer realistic, on-the-job looks at a variety of building types. Use of a design-oriented point of view rather than a specifier's perspective throughout makes the guide especially accessible to architects, interior designers, and engineers. This book should be of interest to landscape architects, designers.
