Modern Construction Handbook
Description
Das "Modern Construction Handbook" hat sich zu einem Klassiker der Baukonstruktions-Literatur entwickelt. In den USA ist es die Grundlage vieler Architektur-Studiengänge. Systematisch erschließt es in den Kapiteln "Material", "Wand", "Dach", "Tragwerk", "Umwelt" und "Anwendungen" die Materie und ermöglicht dem Leser eine effiziente und klare Orientierung.
Für die vierte Auflage wurde ein Großteil der 3D Darstellungen aktualisiert, ebenso sind die technischen Informationen auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. "Anwendungen" zeigt aktuelle Entwicklungen, etwa über die individualisierte Fabrikation von Bauteilen, und stellt Konstruktions- und Materialinnovationen vor.
Ein kompaktes, systematisches, mit Informationen prall gefülltes Handbuch, das sich an Studenten wie an junge Praktiker richtet.
