Publisher Description: This must-have reference guides architects through the preliminary-design phase of building projects. It reduces complex engineering and building code information to simple formal and spatial approximations which are readily incorporated into initial design work. Formatted for quick and easy use by index tabs and comprehensive cross-references. This edition has been extensively updated to reflect important changes in the major building codes for the US and Canada. It also features enhanced charts and tables, ADA compliance data and new structural information on assigning approximate sizes to beams and columns.
