Olin's Construction: Principles, Materials, and Methods by Simmons, H. Leslie

Description: Established as one of the leading books on the materials and methods of construction, the Ninth Edition of Construction was renamed Olin's Construction to reflect the brand identity that Harold Olin brought to this standard text. The most comprehensive text on the subject, Olin's Construction cover not only the materials and methods of building construction, but also building systems and equipment, utilities, properties of materials, and current design and contracting requirements. Whether a builder, designer, contractor, or manager, readers have for over two generations mastered the principles of construction operations with Olin's Construction. H. Leslie Simmons, RA, CSI, is a construction consultant and specifications writer with more than fifty-five years of professional experience. Preface. Acknowledgments.
