1. INTRODUCTION

This report supersedes the second edition of National Bureau of Standards Building Materials and

Structures Report BMS140, issued in 1956, and gives sources of information concerning building construction and maintenance. It contains titles to papers dealing with the practical aspects of building

construction and some publications of a more technical nature. Selected references in the present report are not to be regarded as a complete bibliography on building construction and maintenance. The National Bureau of Standards assumes no responsibility for state- ments made in the listed publications issued by other organizations.

1.1. Instructions for Obtaining Listed Material Issuing agencies are indicated by the number preceding the titles of the publications. The names and

addresses of the agencies are given in section 4. Prices shown in the list are the latest known at the

time of publication and are subject to change.

Government publications indicated as "Free" in this list may be obtained without charge by writing

directly to the issuing agency.

Government publications marked with an asterisk (*) and for which a price is shown, including those

of the National Bureau of Standards, are for sale regularly by the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. Payment in advance is required and can be made by

coupons obtainable in sets of 20 for $1.00 and good until used, by check or money order payable to the Superintendent of Documents, or by currency (at sender's risk). A discount of 25 percent is allowed to purchasers of 100 or more copies of a single publication to' be mailed to one address. The prices quoted are for delivery to addresses in the continental United States and its territories and possessions and

I in certain foreign countries which extend the franking privilege. To all other countries, one-fourth

the cost of the publication should be added to cover postage.

C, for $2.75 including Supple- i ment. It also contains a list of Government depository libraries that regularly receive Bureau publications and may have out-of-print issues on file or have equipment for making photostat or microfilm

copies of such out-of-print material.

A list of publications, with prices, issued by the Division of Building Research of Canada, is available on request to the Publications Section, Division of Building Research, National Research Council

of Canada, Ottawa 2, Ontario, Canada. A coupon system has been introduced to make payment for publications relatively simple. Coupons are available in denominations of 5, 25, and 50 cents and may be
