Summary "In modern masonry construction the use of large clay blocks has been well established for many years. As one of the oldest building materials the clay brick has always undergone new developments and these days fulfils all the demands concerning thermal and sound insulation, moisture control, fire protection, etc., even for single-leaf external walls. This book of practical examples based on sound knowledge takes a keen look at the current state of building with large clay blocks and reduces the information to the essentials. All the important details are accurately and understandably illustrated by means of two typical houses. Building for exacting situations with modern large-format units is further illustrated by way of selected buildings."--BOOK JACKET
