Modern Construction Handbook

Owing to regular revision, the Modern Construction Handbook by Andrew Watts has become a classic in advanced building construction literature, because of its clear structure covering the chapters Material, Wall, Roof, Structure, Environment, and Applications.

For the fifth edition, a large part of the 3D presentations have been redrawn and all six chapters have been revised and updated.

New standards have been established for this handbook, which is a basic resource for many architectural study courses. There are now more component details, new examples with a focus on sustainability and energy consumption, and a major update on finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
