Book News, Inc., 08/01/96:
Heavily revised from the 1982 second edition of Manual of Built-up Roof Systems to incorporate the new materials and designs being used after hurricane Andrew swept many of the existing building codes into the sea. Still covers the entire range of flat, multi-ply, low-slope roofing systems for commercial and industrial facilities, but also considers such additional topics as sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam, metal, polymer-modified bitumens, and elastomeric and thermoplastic single-ply membranes. The techniques are also updated for installing, renovating, and re-covering. For architects, contractors, and others in construction or roofing. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
