Building Design and Construction Handbook

from Civil Engineering Made Simple · host Civil Engineering Made Simple

A comprehensive technical handbook detailing the procedures, materials, and constraints central to building design and construction. It offers extensive instruction across several key engineering disciplines, including structural analysis of beams, columns, and concrete elements, as well as complex principles governing dynamic and seismic loads. A significant portion is dedicated to geotechnical engineering, explaining soil exploration, foundation types (e.g., pile and mat foundations), and the analysis of soil settlement and retaining wall pressures. Detailed attention is given to the selection, properties, and usage of various construction materials, ranging from cements and admixtures and structural steel to wood products and chemical components like plastics and coatings. Furthermore, the source addresses mandatory requirements for safety and functionality, covering legal building codes and zoning requirements, structural defenses against wind and earthquakes, and strategies for fire and moisture protection. This highly technical reference serves as a guide for engineering practice across a wide array of construction systems.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
