Features: This book is written according to the teaching syllabus for the "Introduction to Building" course in the Building Equipment Installation program of secondary vocational schools, newly promulgated by the Ministry of Education. It is one of the core courses for the 80 key construction programs supported by the Ministry of Education. The book is divided into three major modules: Building Materials, Building Construction, and Practical Teaching. The Building Materials module covers the basic properties, technical performance, quality standards, testing methods, and proper use and storage of various main materials commonly used in construction engineering. The Building Construction module primarily introduces the structures of load-bearing wall construction and frame construction (mainly focusing on civil building construction), while also providing basic knowledge of civil building design. The Practical Teaching module mainly involves experiments on commonly used building materials to understand their physical properties, such as strength, tensile tests, and cold bending tests. Each unit includes a summary, exercises, or discussion questions, along with selected typical structural examples, architectural illustrations, and construction drawings. This book can serve as a textbook for secondary vocational schools (including general secondary vocational schools, adult secondary vocational schools, vocational and technical schools, and vocational high schools), as well as a training manual for workers or as a reference for building equipment installation personnel.
