Practical Building Construction (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Practical Building Construction

N this work, which is intended primarily for students in every trade concerned in Building Construction, - and which has been arranged on the basis of Notes prepared for a Course of Lectures on the subject, - the Author has endeavoured to deal, in a concise and practical manner, with all the details of the construction of a building. He has aimed also at giving such a description of the nature and characteristics of the various Building Materials in general use, as should be sufficient (with other subjects dealt with in the volume) for the purposes of the examinations in Building Construction prescribed by the Science and Art Department, the Royal Institute of British Architects, and the Surveyors' Institution, respectively.
