520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Neuauflage des beliebten Handbuchs Das Modern Construction Handbook wurde durch seine regelmäßigen Überarbeitungen zum Klassiker der avancierten Baukonstruktionsliteratur, nicht zuletzt aufgrund seines klaren Aufbaus mit den Kapiteln "Material", "Wand", "Dach", "Tragwerk", "Umwelt" und "Anwendungen". Bewährte Komponentendetails, Beispiele mit Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit und Energiekonsum und ein in der letzten Auflage eingeführtes Update zur Finite-Elemente-Analyse (FEA) und Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) setzen ebenfalls neue Standards für dieses Handbuch, das Grundlage vieler Architektur-Studiengänge ist. Als Einführung in die Baukonstruktion ist es Ausganspunkt für die weiterführenden Bücher Modern Construction Envelopes, Modern Construction Case Studies sowie Modern Environmental Design und Modern Structural Design von Andrew Watts. Relevante Details und Beispiele für das Studium Die wichtigen Konstruktionsaspekte in sechs Hauptkapiteln Darstellungen in projektneutralen Zeichnungen.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "The Modern Construction Handbook has become a classic of advanced construction literature, not least due to its regular revisions and clear structure with chapters titled "Material", "Wall", "Roof", "Structure", "Environment," and "Applications". Tried and tested component details, examples focusing on sustainability and energy consumption, and an update on finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) introduced in the last edition set new standards for this handbook which serves as a foundational textbook in many architecture courses. As a primer Handbook to building design, it is a starting point for the more advanced books Modern Construction Envelopes, Modern Construction Case Studies, Modern Environmental Design and Modern Structural Design by Andrew Watts" --
