Architect's Bundle: Architect's Pocket Book, Second Edition

This fully revised edition of the pocket book includes everyday information which the architect/designer normally has to find from a wide variety of sources and which is not always easily to hand. The book is of use to the student as well as the experienced practitioner. There is no similar compendium currently available. The book includes data about planning, structure, services, building elements, materials and addresses, and is intended to be used both at the drawing board and on site. The selection of the material by the author is based on many years' experience of architectural practice in both public and private offices. Now fully updated to take into account the new 2002 editions to the Building Regulations documents H, J, L1 and L2. Charlotte Baden-Powell was trained at the Architectural Association in London and has practised as an architect for 38 years. She began by working for British Rail and later for Sir Denys Lasdun.

She has written and lectured about the design of kitchens and bathrooms and is the author of Fireplace Design and Construction. * Saves you time by gathering together essential, useful and practical information for both the student and practising architect * Invaluable to students whose theoretical courses do not prepare them for the practicalities of professional practice * Keeps you up to date by including 36 pages of new information looking at a broad range of current issues from bicycle parking spaces to types of paint Architect’s Pocket Book......Page 4 Copyright Page......Page 5 Contents......Page 6 Preface......Page 8 Acknowledgements......Page 10 Climate maps......Page 12 Metric system......Page 19 Metric units......Page 21 Temperature......Page 22 Imperial units......Page 23 Conversion factors......Page 25 Greek alphabet......Page 28 Geometric data......Page 29 Paper sizes......Page 35 Drawing conventions......Page 39 Perspective drawing......Page 43 CI/SfB Construction Index......Page 45 Uniclass......Page 51 Planning and other permissions......Page 52 Building Regulations 1991......Page 63 Standards – in the construction industry......Page 67 Sustainability, energy saving and green issues......Page 70 Anthropometric data......Page 75 Furniture and fittings data......Page 79 Miscellaneous data......Page 89 Sanitary provision for public buildings......Page 93 Trees for towns......Page 97 Hedges......Page 99 Weights of materials......Page 100 Newtons......Page 104 Imposed loads......Page 105 Fire resistance......Page 110 Bending moments and beam formulae......Page 111 Safe loads on subsoils......Page 113 Timber......Page 114 Brickwork and blockwork......Page 117 Concrete......Page 119 Steelwork......Page 123 Drainage......Page 130 Rainwater disposal......Page 133 Water supply regulations......Page 134 Water storage......Page 138 U-, R- and K- values......Page 141 Thermal insulation......Page 142 Heat losses......Page 145 Central heating and hot water systems......Page 147 Ventilation......Page 149 Electrical installation......Page 155 Lighting......Page 158 Sound......Page 175 Stairs and gradients......Page 178 Fireplaces......Page 181 Chimneys and flues......Page 183 Doors......Page 185 Windows......Page 191 Security fittings......Page 199 Brickwork and blockwork......Page 202 Stonework......Page 211 Dampness in buildings......Page 215 Plaster and render......Page 216 Metals......Page 222 Roofing......Page 225 Glass......Page 248 Timber......Page 261 Building boards......Page 280 Plastics......Page 287 Nails and screws......Page 289 Paints......Page 291 Addresses......Page 298 Sources......Page 308 Index......Page 311 Architect’s Pocket Book 4 Copyright Page 5 Contents 6 Preface 8 Acknowledgements 10 Chapter 1.
