Rivingtons Notes On Building Construction PDF Download

Excerpt from Rivington's Notes on Building Construction, Vol. 1 With the object of maintaining this two-fold reputation, Part I has been revised on six occasions, the last edition including some important additions and a useful rearrangement of the chapters. After the lapse of a further period of nearly ten years it became evident that something more than a mere revision would be necessary to bring the work thoroughly into line with modern practice. Consequently, on the recommendation of the present Editor, Parts I and II have been entirely rewritten by well-known architects and others having Special knowledge on certain subjects. Most of the illustrations are entirely new, the remainder having been selected from those which appeared in previous editions.
