Description / Comment:

From Book News, Inc.
First published in 1971, with revisions in 1978 and 1988, the new edition of this volume takes into account significant changes made in the 1990s in European codes and specifications relating to construction. Written from a UK perspective, the volume nevertheless should prove useful to civil engineers, architects, consultants, and others involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of swimming pools in other countries, providing detailed coverage of the planning and layout of swimming pools; basic characteristics of construction materials; factors affecting the durability of reinforced concrete and cement-based construction materials; construction of swimming pool shells in in situ reinforced concrete and in reinforced sprayed concrete and other materials; external works; the pool shell and related structures; water circulation and water treatment; heating and energy conservation; and maintenance and repair.
