Review:
The book is an ideal bible for students, who, whether budding architects or surveyors, will appreciate the detail of it explanations
Construction Manager, March 2001
Product Description:
Since publication of the first volume of The Construction of Buildings in 1958, the five-volume series has been used by both lecturers and students of architecture, building and surveying, and by those seeking guidance for self-built housing and works of alteration and addition.
The series examines principles of building through the functional requirements common to building, with diagrams to illustrate the application of the requirements.
Volume 1, which deals with foundations, walls, floors and roofs, has been updated to take into account changes in practice.
A new presentation has been adopted for the latest edition, with text and illustrations integrated to provide a reader-friendly layout and to aid accessibility of information.

Standard Method of Detailing Structural Concrete - A manual for best practice
This document is intended to become a standard reference that can be used in conjunction with the normal design codes and manuals for work in structural design offices. The objective has been to provide 'good practice' guidance within a working document on structural concrete that can be used to interpret the designer’s instructions in the form of drawings and schedules for communication to the site.
This edition considers the effects of Eurocode 2 on detailing principles and materials and attempts to provide guidance consistent with the Eurocodes. In addition, recent changes in practices and procurement of detailing services have been considered, such as the development of increased off-site fabrication and detailing being undertaken later in the construction sequence through initiatives such as contractor detailing.
The information and advice is based on Eurocodes and UK practice, which is associated with UK materials and labour costs. The principles and details are relevant for use in most parts of the world with only minor adjustment.
As with the original Standard method, the Steering Group was formed from members of both the Institution of Structural Engineers and the Concrete Society. Views have been taken from a wide consultation on the drafts prepared. All have been considered in finalising the document. Consequently the document reflects the current concerns and developments in the field of detailing.
The Steering Group is grateful for the funding provided by the Department of Trade & Industry in support of this project.

Edit reason: Thread/ post(s) refreshed from the E-Book Archive and three threads were merged together, so the whole thread is redesigned (but I kept the originality of the posters). (G)

Product Description:
Stairs are a fundamental and universal feature of buildings. The late Alan Blanc had a lifetime's obsession with stairs and steps and provided a definitive reference source that bridges the aesthetic and practical aspects of staircase design. His wife Sylvia, who worked with him on the first edition, presents this updated, abridged version alongside a complimentary web site where the historical elements of the subjects are described and discussed in pictures and diagrams.
The book is a practical guide to designing circulation spaces. It is extensively detailed with working drawings and photographs. Construction methods using a variety of materials are discussed as well as the influence of new technology on vertical circulation. The guidance on codes and regulations covers the UK and US. The latest high profile international case studies inspire and inform the reader.
*Well established author team
*Fully revised to take account of current building regulations
*International case studies featuring up-to-date examples

Introduction to sixth edition
At the instigation of the Iron and Steel Federation, the late Bernard Godfrey began work in 1952 on the first edition of the Steel Designers’ Manual. As principal author he worked on the manuscript almost continuously for a period of two years. On many Friday evenings he would meet with his co-authors, Charles Gray, Lewis Kent and W.E. Mitchell to review progress and resolve outstanding technical problems. A remarkable book emerged.Within approximately 900 pages it was possible for the steel designer to find everything necessary to carry out the detailed design of most conventional steelwork. Although not intended as an analytical treatise, the book contained the best summary of methods of analysis then available.The standard solutions, influence lines and formulae for frames could be used by the ingenious designer to disentangle the analysis of the most complex structure. Information on element design was intermingled with guidance on the design of both overall structures and connections. It was a book to dip into rather than read from cover to cover. However well one thought one knew its contents, it was amazing how often a further reading would give some useful insight into current problems. Readers forgave its idiosyncrasies, especially in the order of presentation. How could anyone justify slipping a detailed treatment of angle struts between a very general discussion of space frames and an overall presentation on engineering workshop design? The book was very popular. It ran to four editions with numerous reprints in both hard and soft covers. Special versions were also produced for overseas markets. Each edition was updated by the introduction of new material from a variety of sources. However, the book gradually lost the coherence of its original authorship and it became clear in the 1980s that a more radical revision was required. After 36 very successful years it was decided to rewrite and re-order the book, while retaining its special character. This decision coincided with the formation of the Steel Construction Institute and it was given the task of co-ordinating this activity.

I have not read Priestly MJN, Seible F, et.al.,"Seismic Design and Retrofit of Bridges," 1996 till now but I wish to. If someone have this book please post it. I have the first book Paulay T and Priestly MJN, "Seismic Deisgn of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Buildings," 1992 and I have posted in the forum.
I scanned through the book but they haven't mentioned about the design philosophy i.e., why strong beam weak column principle is used for bridge design.
