ARCHITECTURE

 The Construction Manuals  are among the most important reference works in the specialist literature. The latest volume shows the potential of the material and documents comprehensively the technical principles of using timber in construction.  Also covered are the basic principles of statics for large and small structures, and the building requirements with respect to heat, damp, sound-proofing and fire protection according to the most recent norms and standards. Finally a large number of built examples are presented from illustrations of the complete structure down to detailed plans, showing the broad spectrum of applications for timber in contemporary building. All plans have been specially produced by the editorial department for this book and for ease of comparison, they have been drawn to the same scale.
