N2  - Das "Modern Construction Handbook" hat sich zu einem Klassiker der Baukonstruktions-Literatur entwickelt. In den USA ist es die Grundlage vieler Architektur-Studieng�ange. Systematisch erschlie�t es die Materie und erm�oglicht dem Leser eine effiziente Orientierung. Ein Gro�teil der 3D-Darstellungen wurde aktualisiert, ebenso sind die technischen Informationen. Ein kompaktes Handbuch, das sich an Studenten wie an junge Praktiker richtet
