This classic book provides an overview of the methods, equipment, and materials used in the construction of large commercial buildings. It makes an excellent source of general information-complete with diagrams, details, photographs, and worked examples of typical construction calculations such as earth moving calculation, formwork calculations, concrete pressures, and insulation values for building components.Revised content in this new 8 th edition includes additional examples and homework problems for a complete review, superior illustrations, added video clips to the ancillary materials, and much, much more!For construction technologists, supervisors, and superintendents at the technology level; architectural and civil engineering technologists; and construction trades people.

Cameron K. Andres graduated from the University of Manitoba (1966) with a B Sc in Civil Engineering and then worked as a structural design engineer in Western Canada for nine years (1966 to 1975).

He taught at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Calgary Alberta (1975- 2000) in the Civil Engineering Technology Program where he taught courses including strength of materials, structural design, concrete technology, and computer assisted structural analysis. During this time, he earned a degree diploma (1990) in Adult Education from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta.

In 1978 he co-authored the textbook–Masonry: Materials Design Construction, published by Reston Publishing.

He began the long association with Prentice Hall in 1986 by doing the third edition of Principles and Practices of Heavy Construction which was the precursor to Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction, 8^th Edition.

Cameron Andres retired from teaching in 2000 and is presently living on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
