520			_aPrinciples and Practices of Commercial Construction provides a practical, well-rounded approach to modern construction principles and practices and teaches students how to apply design theory to the construction process. Its flexible organization gives instructors the option of teaching each chapter on a standalone basis in a range of construction, architecture, and engineering courses. The 10th edition expands its discussion of practical applications in structural design projects and adds practice opportunities preparing students for licensing exams. Features The text contextualizes each phase of the construction process through well-organized coverage of tasks ranging from site evaluation and layout, to interior design and building finishes. Basic structural framing materials such as wood, steel, and concrete are discussed in detail to emphasize their requirements, strengths, and limitations. Illustrations have been updated throughout the text to reflect changes in construction equipment and to illuminate current construction practices. Hundreds of chapter ending review questions reinforce concepts and provide extensive practice. Several chapters now incorporate new accepted practices or building code influences, with a continued emphasis on sustainable (“green”) building.
