The second edition of this Amazon #1 best seller is a natural evolution of both the Consultant and Contractor perspectives about the building construction phase. Brian Palmquist has spent more than half of his forty years of professional experience "in the trenches" developing and using leading edge computer technology to make construction administration more efficient, more profitable and more enjoyable. At the same time, his systematic approach will improve the performance of design and construction businesses that prefer to operate using more traditional methods.
As an educator, he has used the ideas and approaches in this book to teach more than 2,000 intern architects, students and design and construction professionals about the simplest ways to effectively manage the complexities of construction. "The challenge," he says, "is to learn the enduring ways in this age of immediacy."
This second edition continues to focus on the "enduring ways" that underpin the administration of building construction. It includes the first edition's popular format of more than sixty new and updated "Tales from the trenches," using true stories to explain the two objectives, two fundamentals and eleven elements of construction administration. Recasting the many Tales into just fifteen components makes the content more engaging and suitable for a focused or semester teaching approach, as well as offering a more accessible resource. The second edition uses more than 200 updated and clarified photographs, tables and figures to illustrate the Tales.
Each individual Tale is summarized around its Principles, Attributes, Toolsets and Habits, what the author calls the PATH to construction administration.
The book's Concluding Tales offer a simple method to evaluate where you or your business are on this PATH. Whether you administer design and construction using paper or electrons, or both, the PATH methodology will help you optimize your approach and construction administration content.
The Concluding Tales in the book and e-Book versions also embrace our "age of immediacy" by detailing specific techniques to manage construction in the cloud on any combination of laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Increase the Durability and Performance of Concrete during Its Lifetime
While reinforced concrete is a durable material used for a wide range of construction projects in civil engineering, certain factors must be considered during its design, construction, and maintenance. This includes a variety of conditions impacting strength and performance relevant to specific structural systems, and the application of numerous codes. Advanced Materials and Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Structures, Second Edition discusses both traditional and new systems in concrete structures, outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each system and its importance to construction durability and reliability, and presents the latest advanced materials and construction techniques currently used in reinforced concrete structures.
New Edition Now Includes Eurocode, Egyptian Code, British Standard, and American Specifications (ACI)
In addition to highlighting new materials that can be used to enhance concrete strength and performance, the book describes the traditional and newest materials used in concrete technology; and presents new approaches to utilizing an integrity management system. It provides a comparison of concrete strength utilizing ACI, BS, Eurocode, and Egyptian codes of practice, and also highlights different loads that affect buildings from the application of the different international codes.
By using this book, readers will learn how to:
Choose the most reasonable structural system, materials, method of construction, and maintenance plan
Determine the optimum system to meet stability, reliability, and architectural requirements
Understand the statistical parameters that govern quality control in concrete construction projects
Analyze and meet concrete construction quality control criteria
Implement a maintenance plan incorporating modern construction techniques
Advanced Materials and Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Structures, Second Edition
serves as a practical guide on advanced materials, design, and construction techniques in concrete structures under different environmental conditions. Designed for practicing civil and structural engineers/engineering consultants, this revised version also appeals to senior undergraduate/graduate students in civil engineering - construction materials, and reinforced concrete (RC) construction.
