Architectural Graphic Standards [Englisch] [Gebundene Ausgabe]

structural systems and materials in use today. Each of the 1,092 pages in the Tenth Edition is a fully self-contained data sheet, detailing standard materials, installation and design configurations, and recommended performance specifications for the pertinent building system or component. What's New in the Tenth Edition? Here's some great features newly added to Architectural Graphic Standards: * New security design coverage for both public and private buildings. Seven new building systems are covered-nearly double the systems covered in the Ninth Edition-including: Flying Form, Tilt-up Wall, Laminated Wood Post and Beam, Lightweight Mobile Modular, Space Frames, Metal Building Systems, and Tension * Fabric Structures * Increased and up-to-date coverage of ADA and Green Building Guidelines, with recent examples of successful design solutions. * A highly useful overview of MASTERSPEC* sections with material categories and industry standards-critical for productivity. * Updated definitions and terms to conform to recent CSI MasterFormat** 1995 edition. New energy-efficient Lighting Design standards that address current energy codes. *Expanded and updated information on new and specialty paints, high-performance coatings and substrate conditions. *An insightful tribute from Philip Johnson and an introductory essay from noted journalist and critic Robert Ivy. * A new and improved Building Security chapter helps you design for increased security without compromising aesthetics and functionality. * The Environmental Construction chapter has expanded to include information on sustainable materials, guidelines for documenting life-cycles and a lot more. * Energy efficiency takes center stage in the revised Lighting Design chapter. * The Building Systems chapter covers seven new systems, including Tilt-up Wall shown here. A System Summary provides a concise overview of advantages, disadvantages and commonly used applications. CD-ROM Version 3.0: Unparalleled Productivity Tool Architectural Graphic Standards, CD-ROM Version 3.0 incorporates every word, every specification and table, and each of the more than 10,000 drawings in the book. But that's only the beginning. With its five powerful search engines (search by Chapter, Building System, Special Interest, Index, or Word) and more than 2,000 up-to-date Web links, the CD-ROM offers lightning-quick access to a huge range of product manufacturers' information through a special relationship with Architects' First Source*** and independent professional and trade association information. Additional links provide access to industry standard drawings, codes and standards not found in the book. But the CD-ROM Version 3.0 is much more than an information source. 85%-more than eight out of ten-of the over 10,000 drawings in the Tenth Edition of Architectural Graphic Standards are provided in CAD format. This enables designers to export thousands of drawings and details directly into an array of Windowscompliant systems, including AutoCadand MicroStation, in .dwg, .dgn or .dxf file formats, for easy editing in your particular project. Here are some other easy-to-use features of the CD-ROM: * Drawings, charts, tables and text can also be brought into word processing, presentation and desktop publishing programs for a variety of other project and presentation needs. * Industry links offer a direct connection to the wealth of information available on the Internet, linking you directly from a drawing to relevant information on product manufacturer, independent professional association and federal agency Web sites. * Special Interest Search" puts you in touch with a vast array of well-organized industry information available for 21 hot topics, from Historic Preservation to Egress Planning. * Launch the Building Systems search engine, choose one of the 15 different systems and quickly find exactly what you need-in this case, HVAC ducts and diffusers for Space Frames. Imagine the time you'll save exporting detail drawings directly into your CAD program. The CAD format means you can edit the drawings to meet the needs of your project.
