Description
`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.
