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.
