## Description

Note from the publisher: Now in its sixth edition, this bestselling reference focuses on the basic materials and methods used in building construction. Emphasizing common construction systems such as light wood frame, masonry bearing wall, steel frame, and reinforced concrete construction, the new edition includes new information on building materials properties; the latest on "pre-engineered" building components and sustainability issues; and reflects the latest building codes and standards. It also features an expanded series of case studies along with more axonometric detail drawings and revised photographs for a thoroughly illustrated approach.

Review: [Rented] Great price, usable information, came with CD - I mean the content format looks dated, but content is interesting. It's a required book for classes, but still came in great rent-able condition with the CD addition slipped in. A few half a page fold were on some pages and there was something sticky on two pages that I had to rip apart when I got it, but nothing too serious. Share it, kids. You'll get the same info for less, unless you like to have a physical book to flip through.
Review: Prettyyyy good book - My credit ability stands where I have never wrote or felt the desire to write a review but this book deserved it. The book introduces material and application methods in a way that's perfect for a beginner and works great as a reference guide!
