The Sixth Edition of Harry Parker's well-known and widely used book brings you the latest in current codes, design standards and industry practices--all in one easy-to-use volume. New topics have been added to the discussions including concrete frames, tilt-up walls and structural masonry with concrete units. A completely new chapter features design examples of structural systems for three different types of buildings. The coverage and style retain the continuity and flow of the popular past editions, and new exercise problems and answers to both general questions and numerical exercises are provided for self-evaluation.
