good construction practices for new construction, and

the modernization and maintenance of buildings.

1. INTRODUCTION

This report supersedes National Bureau of Standards Letter Circular 1000 and

gives sources of information concerning building construction and maintenance.

It contains titles to papers dealing with the practical aspects of building con- struction and some publications of a more technical nature.

Government publications indicated as "Free" in this list may be obtained without charge by writing directly to the issuing agency.

Government publications marked with a star (*) 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. Additional funds for postage are not required on orders

mailed to destinations within the United States and its possessions or to Canada,

Cuba, Mexico, Newfoundland (including Labrador) and certain Central and South

American countries. Remittances for orders to other foreign countries should be

made by international money order or draft on an American bank, including an additional one-third of the quoted price for postage. Prices indicated are subject

to change.

Single copies of publications of trade associations or other nongovernment

organizations included in this report may be obtained free or at indicated prices

by writing directly to those organizations.

Many universities and colleges, through their departments of architecture, en- gineering, experiment stations, or agricultural extension divisions supply information on construction and equipment upon request. Several bulletins of this

type are listed. Information on other available material can be obtained by

writing directly to the institutions. A list of such institutions by States is

given at the end of this report.

A few standards of the American Standards Association and American Society for

Testing Materials have been listed. More complete lists of these standards may

be obtained by writing directly to the American Standards Association, 70 East

45th Street, New York 17, N. Y. , and the American Society for Testing Materials,

1916 Race Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

This report also lists a few Federal Specifications. A more complete list of

such specifications appears in the "Index of Federal Specifications and Standards" and monthly supplements thereto, obtainable from the Superintendent of

Documents for $1.75 • Individual "Federal Specifications" may be obtained upon

application accompanied by check, money order, cash, or Government Printing Office coupons, to the Business Service Center . General Services Administration . Regional Office Building, Seventh and D Streets, S. W. , Washington 25, D. C.

Symbols as well as the name should be used in ordering Federal Specifications.

Only such Commodity Standards as relate to building materials and equipment are included in this report. A more complete list of such standards, with prices

-1-
can be obtained from the Commodity Standards Division, U. S. Department of

Commerce, Washington 25, D. C.

NBS Circular C46O "Publications of the National Bureau of Standards with Supplements" gives the titles and brief abstracts of papers issued by the Bureau

complete to 1954 and is obtainable from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C, for $2.00 including Supplements. It

also contains a list of 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.

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 statements made in the listed publications issued by other organizations.
