Building Superstructure

The material in this book has been compiled from the author's previous work "Construction Technology" which was in four volumes. The purpose of the present volume is to make available in one readily accessible volume the chapters on the basic structural elements of building superstructure needed by both the builder and the student. The book covers basic structural elements of buildings above ground level together with temporary works such as shoring and scaffolding, and discusses these topics in relation to current concepts in construction technology.
