N2  - This book presents temporary structures, facilities, and procedures used in construction operations. It is a first for it contains the related topics of this field under one cover. It bridges the gap between books on design and books on construction, in that it deals with those systems that are used to construct the designed projects. The book presents much-needed practical information on the requirements, design, erection, and maintenance of temporary structures and on the performance of temporary procedures that are used in the execution of construction work
