Construction Technology 2

The Construction Technology 2 book we have prepared consists of topics that we could not fit into the first book. Construction is a large main branch of science that contains many different topics. It is only possible to fit all branches into one book by providing some basic information. It is certain that even people who are not involved in the topics we have covered so far will find detailed information about them when they read them. But this does not mean that everything about construction is explained in full detail in these books. No, of course not. But I believe that they will at least be of great benefit to a technical staff member in easily completing their deficiencies regarding the subjects.
Students studying in vocational high school construction departments, vocational school construction departments, and civil engineering will broaden their horizons and gain very detailed information in Construction Technology courses:
The topics covered in this book are, in order, Dilatation Joints, Insulation, Earthworks, Prefabricated Buildings, Molds, Reinforcements, Scaffolding, and Plasterwork, completed in eight chapters. Since the total topics cover nearly four hundred twenty pages, some remaining topics have been postponed to the third book. The topics moved to the third book are Elevators, Plasters, Coverings. Paints, Doors, Windows, Smart Homes, and perhaps Quantity Surveying will be covered.
Although some topics have been handled superficially according to their characteristics for everyone to perceive and understand, quite a lot of detail has been gone into some topics.
Although we have created this book as a result of meticulous work, extensive literature review, and over thirty years of experience, there will undoubtedly be shortcomings. In the field of construction, there are sometimes different practices that vary from region to region. If some practices conflict with or differ from what masters do, I can recommend trying the practices in the book. I welcome your comments on different practices.

I present the book to your valuable insights.
I hope it proves useful to the construction industry.
