Features: This third edition still focuses on general industrial and civil building projects using traditional construction techniques, while also including the increasingly widely applied new technologies, processes, and materials. It primarily describes the phenomena, causes, and prevention and treatment measures for "common diseases" and "frequent ailments" in construction. It also introduces some quality issues caused by design reasons and their prevention and treatment methods. Based on the second edition, the third edition has undergone significant changes, with some chapters rewritten, new content added, and a few chapters removed. Nine new chapters have been newly compiled, including Construction Surveying, Blasting, Deep Foundations, Shallow Foundations, Underground Continuous Walls, Special Concrete, Building Facades, Ancient Buildings, and Outdoor Engineering. The entire book has been adjusted from 40 chapters to 50 chapters, and the number of quality issue items has increased from 1,040 in the second edition to 1,633, revised according to the new national regulations and industry standards published after the second edition, especially the 14 newly promulgated construction quality acceptance specifications in 2002. In addition to the above-mentioned nine chapters, the main content of the third edition also includes: Soil Main, Foundation Dewatering, Foundation Reinforcement, Pile Foundations, Caissons, Underground Waterproofing Engineering, Masonry, Formwork, Reinforcing Steel, Concrete, Prestressing, Timber Structures, Steel Structures, Member Lifting, Large Formwork, Slip Formwork, Lift Slab, Wall Panel Engineering, Roofing Engineering, Thermal Insulation and Heat Preservation, Decoration and Finishing, Electrical Installation, Heating and Sanitary Pipelines, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, and Engineering Structures. This book is intended for urban and rural construction personnel and management personnel, and can also serve as a reference for civil engineering design personnel and students and teachers of civil engineering majors in colleges and universities.
