Building and design using dry construction

Guide to the correct application of dry construction systems.

Detail Practice Dry Construction provides an overview of current dry construction systems according to building parts (walls, ceilings, floors) and their application potentials as an aid to design and planning. Specific construction drawings demonstrate common structural details. Fire and noise protection, which are of particular relevance in dry construction, are covered in detail as are special structures, for example for moist spaces. The general parts are complemented by built examples of existing projects with well-structured main details. This volume also contains contributions on the application of new materials and points out the potentials of this building method.
