Derived from an American Society for Testing and Materials symposium of the same title held in March 1996 in Orlando, Florida, 23 papers canvass the art and science of design (including using the rainscreen RAIN computer program), repair, and testing and quality control issues (e.g. using modified ASTM E 1105 to identify leakage sources) in relation to wall performance. Case studies on various lessons learned round out the discussions. Includes b&w illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
