<p><b>An up-to-date edition of the comprehensive guide to building practice</b> <p>Since 1958, <i>Barry’s Construction of Buildings</i> has served as a standard guide to building practices and construction skills. The second volume of this two-volume format, <i>Barry’s Advanced Construction of Buildings</i> builds on the introductory material of the first volume to offer readers a thorough grounding in construction and its various facets. Emphasizing large-scale buildings, particularly those with load-bearing frames in timber, concrete and steel, and supported by chapters on offsite construction, piling, envelopes to framed buildings, fit-out and second fix, lifts and escalators, building pathology, upgrading and demolition, this latest edition incorporates critical new material, including <ul><li>New questions in each chapter designed to enhance learning</li> <li>Updates throughout reflecting the latest building practices and professional knowledge</li> <li>A new focus on low-carbon construction</li></ul> <p><i>Barry’s Advanced Construction of Buildings</i> is an essential tool for any student working towards qualifications in building and construction, and a handy reference for construction professionals in any area.
