Volume 4, which covers the construction of multi-story buildings, including foundations, steel frames, concrete frames and the various systems of walling and cladding used, has been updated to include the use of structural sealant glazing and suspended frameless glazing, new information on solid brick and block walls, and details of metal stud partitions for the support and fixing of plasterboard finishes for non-loadbearing partitions.
A new presentation has been adapted for this latest edition, with text and illustrations integrated to provide a reader-friendly layout and to aid accessibility of information.
