A unique reference, the volume providesprofessionals with a comprehensive overview of the following:• Structual steel• Platforms• Stairs• Welding• Reinforced concrete• Foundations• MasonryStructural and Construction Detailing is divided into 11 chapters and includes six appendices. Easy toread, the volume provides heavily illustrated step-by-step instructions. Novices quickly learn specificdetailing techniques and gain an understanding of why they are used. For example, a steel detailerworks from drawings provided by an architect or general contractor that many times cross disciplines.Thus, there needs to be an understanding of stairs, platforms, foundations, and masonryconstruction. The detailer must also have knowledge of materials and of welding processes andsymbols. These topics are explained in great detail in Structural and Construction Detailing. Theappendices offer important common reference materials (drawn from the public domain).The volume is ideal for students in two-year college architectural, construction, civil, drafting, or CADtechnology programs. It is also useful to detailers, engineers, architects, steel fabricators anderectors, and general contractors.TABLE OF CONTENTS• Detailing Technique• Materials• Erection Drawings• Detailing Beams• Detailing Columns• Detailing Bracing• Welding• Flooring, Handrail, Stairs, and Ladders• Foundations• Masonry• Rigid Frame Construction• Appendix 1: Structural Shapes• Appendix 2:Abbreviations• Appendix 3: Grating• Appendix 4:Creteplank• Appendix 5: Open Web Steel Joists• Appendix 6: Corrugated Sheathing12
