Keyword: Energy Saving and Ecological Buildings; Thermal Performance of Building Materials; Aerodynamic Characteristics of Buildings and Construction; Fire Safety Materials; Noise Protection and Daylight Conditions This special topics volume on construction materials comes from editor Palko, divided into five main sections. In the first section, four case studies on energy conservation and ecologically-oriented construction design are presented. Six papers follow discussing thermal performance of roofs, windows, and other architectural elements with attention to both design and materials. Seven papers address aerodynamics issues, including two on double skin facade. The largest section of eight contributions treats fire safety from the perspective of historical analysis, modeling, and regulatory environment. Finally, the impact of lighting, acoustics, and audiovisual insulation on human inhabitants of buildings is covered in three papers. -- Architecture-- Built environment-- Construction-- Engineering-- Materials science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of Barry's Advanced Construction of Buildings expands and deepens your understanding of construction technology. It covers the construction of larger-scale buildings (primarily residential, commercial and industrial) constructed with loadbearing frames, supported by chapters on fit out and second fix, lifts and escalators, prefabrication and off-site construction and a new chapter on building obsolescence and revitalisation. Functional and performance requirements of the main building elements are emphasised throughout, as is building efficiency and meeting the challenges of limiting the environmental impact of buildings. You will find the text fully up to date with the latest building regulations and construction technologies.

Book excerpt: This collection of papers, which was subjected to strict peer-review by 2 to 4 expert referees, aims to collect together the latest advances in, and applications of, traditional constructional materials, advanced constructional materials and green building materials. It cannot fail to suggest new ideas and strategies to be tried in this field. Review from Book News Inc.: This four-volume set contains peer-reviewed papers from a June 2011 conference, describing the latest achievements, applications, and trends in civil engineering, architecture, and building materials. In addition to covering traditional construction materials, papers also report on research in advanced materials and green building materials. Other areas explored are environmental architecture, equipment engineering, and energy-saving technologies for construction. Some specific paper topics include the behavior of reinforced concrete subjected to boric acid corrosion in a nuclear power plant, fireproof performance of foam concrete insulation board, the application of glazed hollow beads in thermal insulation, and aerated concrete produced by iron tailings. Other subjects examined include application of thermoelectric generation technology in building-integrated photovoltaics, the use of radar technology in concrete water content testing, temperature crack and control measures of long-span beam-type conversion layers, and detection of destruction in urban pavement. Related topics include policies on recycling of construction waste, and construction equipment life-cycle cost studies. Some papers include b & w images. There is no subject index.

Book excerpt: An introduction to the art of building, it has been revised and updated to reflect changes in the industry. Describes the materials used since ancient times—wood, stone, brick and the techniques by which they are made into buildings today—before proceeding to structural steel, reinforced and prestressed concrete, float glass, extruded aluminum, advanced gypsum products, synthetic rubber compounds and plastics. Deals with whole systems of building including foundations, framing, roofing, interiors, electrical and mechanical systems. Each chapter contains a summary, list of key terms and concepts, review questions and references. Illustrated with over 300 line drawings and 700 photographs.
