This key text addresses the topic of lightweight claddings in buildings and is a useful guide and reference resource.  Written by well-known specialists in the field, this fourth edition of an established text has been revised throughout to incorporate the latest environmental issues, the use of wood and terracotta in cladding, and use of new materials, particularly the new moulded materials. Two new chapters cover wood and terracotta in cladding. The main types of cladding systems are described in detail and methods of production, performance characteristics, applications and methods of assembly are explained clearly. Illustrated throughout with photographs and numerous line drawings, this is an essential overview of the subject for both the student and the practising architect.

Quantitative Methods for Surveyors

Robinson, Carl

This survey describes how tree roots can be identified by their anatomical structure and also records the damage from tree roots and indicates the conditions under which trees can be planted near buildings with safety. The book looks at 17 main tree groups including conifers and shrubs, which plan a more important role indamage to buildings than was previously supposed. This new edition contains additional information on some 11,000 tree root and 1,300 shrub root identifications plus details on growth rates, maximum age of trees in urban areas, the response to pruning or lopping and other features. It should be useful to architects, planners, developers and structural engineers.
