ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Design and Construction of Bioclimatic Wooden
Book SynopsisThis book is the second of four dealing with bioclimatic design and construction by focusing on the most basic and polyvalent of modern environmental systems: the bioclimatic greenhouse, the "Swiss-army chainsaw" of architecture. More specifically, this second volume focuses on how the structure of bioclimatic wooden greenhouses may be designed and built. In more general terms, it helps us consider how to design and build the structure of bioclimatic, low-energy architecture, with low environmental impact. This multi-volume book covers both free-standing greenhouses that can naturally heat and cool themselves, and lean-to greenhouses that support the natural heating and cooling of buildings; this includes both agricultural greenhouses and greenhouses suited to host people. As a result, it is a trans-disciplinary work deriving its areas of concern from a broad range of study areas, spanning from environmental, to constructional, to structural, drawing the clarity of the approach from the fact that the topics are presented by a single author with a single voice and a designer's mindset. To achieve this, the book adopts a composite set of explanatory strategies and communication registers – including extensive support by 3D construction drawings and examples – and presents not only stateof-the-art solutions, but also experimental ones.Table of ContentsIntroduction ix Chapter 1 Light Frames (Wooden Frames) 1 1.1 Commonest solution: platform-frame-like or balloon-frame-like curtain walls framed with studs/mullions 6 1.2 Types of connections in wooden construction 7 1.2.1 Head-to-head butt joint 7 1.2.2 Head-to-side butt joint 9 1.2.3 Lap joints 11 1.2.4 Nailed connections 12 1.2.5 Screwed connections 14 1.2.6 Bolted connections 14 1.2.7 Tooth plate connections 14 1.2.8 Glued connections 15 1.3 Types of connections between structural sub-systems 15 1.3.1 Interfacing the frames of the front façade and the roof 15 1.3.2 Interfacing the frames of the side walls and the roof 17 1.3.3 Gable walls 21 1.3.4 Opaque enclosures 29 1.3.5 Back walls 30 1.3.6 Connection between the roof of a building and the roof of the greenhouse attached to it 42 1.4 Alternative structural solution: light-frame curtain walls supported by horizontal purlins 42 1.5 Alternative structural solution: trussed light-frame structures 43 1.5.1 Trusses and trussed portals or semi-portals orthogonal to the front façade 44 1.5.2 Light-frame trussed portals parallel to the front façade 44 1.6 Criteria for the construction of light-frame trusses and trussed portal frames 45 1.6.1 Chords, diagonals and uprights overlapped on different planes 45 1.6.2 Chords, diagonals and uprights on the same plane 45 1.6.3 Transversal connection of portal frames 46 1.6.4 Bracing strategies in light frames 46 1.7 Intermixing parts of timber frames into light frames 51 1.8 Analogies with cold-rolled light frames 52 1.9 Arched and vaulted construction in light frames 53 1.9.1 Lamella vaults 53 1.9.2 Geodesic domes 57 Chapter 2 Timber Frames 61 2.1 Intermixing light-frame parts into timber frames 62 2.1.1 Light frame completely additional to the timber frame 63 2.1.2 Combining timber frames and light frames 64 2.2 Connections in timber-frame greenhouses 75 2.2.1 Traditional connections in timber frames 76 2.2.2 Modern connections in timber frames 77 2.3 Structural solutions with the primary beams of the frames orthogonal to the front façade 110 2.3.1 Post-and-beam greenhouses with primary beams perpendicular to the front façade 111 2.3.2 Trussed post-and-beam greenhouses with primary beams perpendicular to the front façade 118 2.3.3 Portal frames perpendicular to the front façade 120 2.3.4 Spans of the secondary structural elements in greenhouses having the principal beams orthogonal to the main façades 129 2.3.5 Frames or portal frames, solid or trussed, parallel to the front façade 130 2.4 Pole construction 132 2.4.1 Treating timber poles for a longer life span 132 2.4.2 Solutions for cantilevering the poles from the ground 134 2.4.3 Solutions for connecting girders or beams to the poles 136 2.4.4 Pole greenhouse construction 137 2.5 Bracing strategies in timber frames 149 2.5.1 Bracing with cables or rods 151 2.5.2 Bracing with short massive diagonals 152 2.5.3 Bracing the bays with full-length diagonals connected with butt joints by means of steel plates 152 2.5.4 Bracing with full-length lap-joined diagonals 152 Chapter 3 Foundations 161 3.1 Foundation walls and foundation sills 161 3.2 Construction strategies for foundation walls 168 3.2.1 Preparing the ground for a foundation wall 169 3.2.2 Boulders-and-mortar wall foundation 169 3.2.3 Brick masonry wall foundation 170 3.2.4 Conventionally mortared hollow concrete block wall foundation 170 3.2.5 Parged hollow concrete block wall foundations 172 3.2.6 Concrete foundation walls 172 3.2.7 Wooden-frame foundations 172 3.2.8 Timber foundations 175 3.2.9 Pier foundations 184 3.2.10 Insulation of the foundation wall 184 3.2.11 The foundation wall as a sill 186 3.3 Drainage around the foundation wall 186 3.4 Pavements 187 3.5 Platform frame floors raised above the ground 188 Chapter 4 Heating and Cooling Systems;

Cognella, Inc Integrative Design: Building Systems for
Book SynopsisIntegrative Design: Building Systems for Architects and Architectural Engineers helps students envision the interconnections between different building systems. Rather than presenting systems one at a time as is traditionally done, the book approaches building systems by following the real-world sequence of the design process. This begins with pre-design analysis followed by schematic design and finishes with design development.Section 1 deals with urban and suburban site analysis and design, as well as climate, time, and magnetic declination. Section 2 addresses building form and envelope design, specifically considerations for life safety codes, energy conservation, and roof design. It also covers floor planning with emphasis on systems planning. Section 3 is devoted to design development, including critical sections, envelope design, environmental control systems, service systems design and coordination, and reflected ceiling plans.The second edition features updates to building codes throughout the text, as well as refreshed content in each chapter.The organization of Integrative Design clarifies the design process, enabling success in the classroom and design studio and a smooth transition to the professional world. This book can be used in any course that addresses the integrative design requirement of the National Architectural Accrediting Board.

Momentum Press Construction Site Coordination and Management Guide
Book SynopsisThis book provides construction practitioners with the knowledge they need to successfully coordinate and manage construction projects. Coordination and management are essential functions in the building procedure. Recent research has demonstrated that poor or inadequate coordination is the best that is accomplished on construction sites. Nevertheless, not many writers of construction project management have examined this essential subject. Between project goals and the reality on the ground exist a huge number of conditions that can affect the progress of a project and that is the reason a dynamic ramification amid the development time frame is significant. This book provides construction practitioners with the knowledge they need to successfully coordinate and manage construction projects. It highlights different construction processes required to enhance their practical performance in particular and further the construction industry in general.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Green Roofs and Water Retention in Košice,
Book SynopsisThis book discusses how climate change and heat islands are a main contributor to water related problems in urban areas in Košice, Slovakia. Green roofs are used as a tool to assist in solving these water related issues. The need to provide housing in urban areas is expected to rise to 66% in 2050, according to the United Nations. Many urban areas have seen natural permeable green areas replaced with concrete constructions and hard, non-permeable surfaces. The densification of existing built-up areas is responsible for the decreasing vegetation, which results in the lack of evapotranspiration cooling the air, thereby creating urban heat islands. Several studies, discussed in this book, have shown that natural and permeable surfaces, as in the case of green roofs, can play a crucial role in mitigating this negative climate phenomenon and providing higher efficiency for buildings, leading to savings such as water, one of the focal points of this research.Table of ContentsIntroduction1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Chances and Risks in Construction Management and
Book SynopsisThe book outlines the processes of calculating and critically reviewing construction costs and times for clients and contractors in different project phases. Any project or structural analysis should yield accurate information on times, costs, and prices. The related database is more or less uncertain depending on project complexity and the circumstances of work performance. It is thus recommended to use ranges of key input parameters. This approach consistently considers uncertainties within a holistic project view, thus enhancing the plausibility and validity of specific values. Only the integration of probabilistic methods will allow for calculating and graphically representing the chance/risk ratio as a crucial project variable ultimately influencing the entire business. This book examines the systemic modeling and consideration of uncertainties when determining construction costs and times, and life-cycle costs. It contains detailed descriptions of other decision-making processes, including project preparation and planning (developer calculation, soil survey, cost estimate), work preparation (costing, pricing, construction time evaluation, resource identification, comparison of construction methods, bid analysis, contract award), and project execution (site logistics, construction method selection, construction process planning, work coordination, sourcing, determination of additional costs, trend analyses), as well as for project portfolio management as a tool relevant to all phases.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Basics.- Chapter 3: Data, Information, Knowledge, and BIM.- Chapter 4: Management of Chances and Risks.- Chapter 5: Applying the Management of Chances and Risks to Project Phases.- Chapter 6: The Fundamentals of Monte Carlo Simulations.- Chapter 7: Application of Monte Carlo Simulations.- Chapter 8: Influence of Project Lead Time and Construction Time on Project Targets.- Chapter 9: Worked Examples – Client.- Chapter 10: Worked Examples – Contractor.

Also, the detailed discussions on the novel and greener construction materials and their utilization as an alternative to the conventional harmful existing methods and materials are also presented in the subsequent chapters. This book helps to fill the research gaps in the existing prior-art knowledge in the field of sustainable construction and green building materials and methods giving due importance to ecology and health, specifically to the fields of sustainable structural engineering, sustainable geotechnical engineering, sustainable road engineering, etc.This book helps in achieving a sustainable environment through possible adoption of innovative and ecological construction practices. Hence, this book acts as a practical workbook, mainly for the academicians and practicing engineers who are willing to work toward the consecrated building industry.It is a well-established fact that the constructions of the engineering structures consume more and more earth resources than any other human activities in the world. In addition, the construction-related activities will produce several million tons of greenhouse gases, toxic emissions, water pollutants, and solid wastes. This creates a huge impact on environment and causes severe health issues on humans and animals. It is thus important to create an eco-friendly construction environment which can satisfy the ecological and health requirements.Table of ContentsForeword by Prof. Munir OzturkPreface 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Shell Structures: Theory and Application
Book SynopsisThis text provides a complete and thorough derivation of the mathematical theory of shell structures. Many books on shells only give the key equations or snippets of theory, skipping all of the mathematical steps required to solve for the key equations. This is understandable, because of the mathematical complexity of shell structures. Thus, the reader must just accept the design equations blindly, without achieving a complete understanding of shell theory. This book, therefore, fills this gap by providing a complete picture of shell theory. Class tested over three university post-graduate courses and one public course on shell structures, the book is mathematically intensive, but it written in an accessible style ideal for students of engineering mechanics in civil and mechanical engineers concentrations, as well as practicing structural engineers looking for a reference on shells.Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Construction Materials and Stress Flow 2.1 Introduction 2.2 The basic characteristics of stresses and strains 2.3 Economy of stresses 2.4 The flawed nature of construction materials 2.5 The flow of stress in flat and curved walls 2.6 The flow of stress around openings 2.7 Exercises Chapter 3 Cylindrical Shells 3.1 Introduction 3.2 The membrane theory of cylindrical shells 3.3 Displacement theory for membrane stresses 3.4 Boundary effects 3.5 Displacement theory for the boundary effects 3.6 Compatibility equations 3.7 Steps in solving for the deformations and stresses in the shell 3.8 Worked example 3.9 Exercises Chapter 4 Circular Domes 4.1 Introduction 4.2 The membrane theory of the circular dome 4.3 Displacement theory 4.4 Boundary effects 4.5 Displacement theory of the boundary effects 4.6 Compatibility equations 4.7 Steps in solving the deformations and stresses in the shell 4.8 Worked example 4.9 Exercises Chapter 5 Derivatives of Dome Theory: The Conoidal, Elliptical, Conical and Hyperbolic shells 5.1 Introduction 5.2 Conical shells 5.3 Elliptical dome 5.4 Conoidal dome 5.5 Hyperbolic shell 5.6 Example solutions and a comparison of the circular, concoidal, elliptical and conical domes 5.7 Exercises Chapter 6 The Circular Barrel Vault 6.1 Introduction 6.2 Membrane theory of the barrel vault 6.3 Deformation theory 6.4 Shallow shell theory to solve for the boundary effects 6.5 Edge beams 6.6 Steps in solving the deformations and stresses in the shell 6.7 Worked examples 6.8 Exercises Chapter 7 Catenary Arches and Domes 7.1 Introduction 7.2 The catenary arch 7.3 The funicular arch 7.4 Membrane theory of catenary domes 7.5 Worked examples 7.6 Exercises Appendix A and B

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Collapse Frequency of Structures: Bridges -
Book SynopsisThe mathematical verification of the safety of structures can be done by determining the probability of failure or by using safety elements. Observed damages and collapses are usually assessed within the framework of expert reports, which seems reasonable due to the large number of unique structures in the construction industry. However, there should also be an examination of observed safety across all structures. Therefore, in this book the collapse frequencies are determined for different types of structures, such as bridges, dams, tunnels, retaining structures and buildings. The collapse frequency, like the failure probability, belongs to stochasticity. Therefore, the observed mean collapse frequencies and the calculated mean failure probabilities are compared. This comparison shows that the collapse frequencies are usually lower than the calculated failure probabilities. In addition, core damage frequencies and probabilities are given to extend the comparison to another technical product.Table of ContentsIntroduction and Initial Position.- Preliminary Considerations.- Bridges.- Dams.- Tunnel.- Retaining Structures.- Buildings and Structures.- Stadiums.- Wind Turbines.- Nuclear Power Plants.- Concluding Remarks.

Springer International Publishing AG Innovative Tools and Methods Using BIM for an
Book SynopsisThis open access book describes a BIM-based toolkit that has been developed according to the latest research activities on building information modelling and semantic interoperability to optimize the building process. It highlights the impacts of using such new tools to fast renovation activities starting from the decision-making and design stages to the construction site management with the possibility to monitor occupants' and owners’ feedback during the realization process. In this process, a framework has been developed and implemented to allow stakeholders involved in a renovation project to efficiently compile, maintain, and add data about (i) building elements, (ii) building services systems, (iii) tenants, operators, and owners of the building, and (iv) current and predicted performance of the building from the various data sources available. The framework applies and specializes the existing practices in the Semantic Web, Linked Data, and ontology domain to the management of renovation projects. It has been designed to be open so that any system which implements the required functions and uses the specified conventions will be able to achieve semantic interoperability with other framework-compliant systems in the renovation domain. Finally, this book represents the validation process of the toolkit that has been held in three demo sites: a social housing building in Italy and two private residential buildings in Poland and Finland. The outcome shows that the toolkit facilitates the renovation process with relevant reductions of time, costs, and energy consumption and that the inhabitants can take advantage of the increase in building performances, quality, and comfort.

The book describes architectural designs and practical construction issues to motivate contemporary shell designers. Balz's experience of dealing with such difficulties as incompatibility with non-structural features and the insertion of windows into shells, and the assessment of buildings' long-term performance allow readers to learn more easily how to cope with such issues in their own work. The book introduces Michael Balz, his early workwith other architects, including his work on pneumatic forms with Frei Otto, and his evolution into an exponent of organic architecture. It then discusses completed projects, including the outdoor Theater unter den Kuppeln (1976), Ballettsaal (1979) and Balz House (1981). Competitions Balz entered and unrealized shell projects also receive attention, as does his work on the urban scale, highlighting conceptual designs of mega-cities. His visionary megastructures encourage the exploration of innovative solutions for city spaces by architects faced with today's increased urbanization. Michael Balz: Shells and Visionswill be of interest to students and professionals in the fields of architecture, structural engineering, building and urban design. It's reflections on the cultural and contextual aspects of Balz's work will help the architectural historian to appreciate its long-term significance.
