Dry construction

Meer over het boek

Detail-Practice: Dry Construction offers a comprehensive overview of prevalent dry construction systems, categorized by building components such as walls, ceilings, and floors. This practical manual serves as a guide for design and planning, emphasizing the use of dry construction systems over moisture-retaining materials like concrete and plaster. This method is not only cost-effective but also meets essential physical requirements, including thermal, cold, and sound insulation, as well as fire safety. The incorporation of advanced material technologies grants designers significant flexibility, allowing surfaces to be highly adaptable and multifunctional, serving roles in lighting, heating, and cooling. The book includes project examples with clear reference details and addresses specialized constructions for damp environments. It highlights the potential of new materials and systems in enhancing construction methods. Standard drawings illustrate common construction details, maintaining consistency with previous volumes in the series. The authors, Karsten Tichelmann and Jochen Pfau, are esteemed professionals in dry and lightweight construction at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, contributing their expertise to the field.
