Written by an architect with many years' experience in practice and teaching, this book is a well-illustrated introduction to the great range of materials used in much of the world's building and construction. It is the only book of its type on the market, and suitable for anyone teaching or studying for building trades, architecture, building, landscape design, structural engineering, and allied disciplines. When first published, a reviewer commented, "This book has filled a large gap in publications available to both students and the building professions." The Fourth (2009) Edition is now...

Tragende Bauteile gestalten und konstruieren

Wand, Stutze, Decke und Dach formen das Gerippe nahezu jedes Gebaudes. Der dritte Band der Reihe SCALE, Tragen und Materialisieren, befasst sich dezidiert mit diesen tragenden Strukturen. Von der Idee, der Entwurfsabsicht, bis zur konstruktiven Umsetzung wird die Entwicklung und Realisierung angemessener Konstruktionen begleitet. Das Buch folgt dabei den tradierten Bauweisen Massiv-, Schotten- und Skelettbau und weist den Weg zu einem materialgerechten konstruktiven Umgang mit den gestaltpragenden tragenden...

Die erweiterte Neuauflage bietet eine umfassende Einfuhrung in die Grundlagen der Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbeton- und Spannbetontragwerken. Vermittelt wird aktuelles Wissen durch den Bezug auf DIN 1045-1 der Fassung 2008 sowie die zukunftige europaisch einheitliche Betonbaunorm EN 1992-1-1 (EUROCODE 2) erganzt um die nationalen Anwendungsregeln Deutschlands und Osterreichs.

Die Bemessung im Grenzzustand der Tragfahigkeit fur Biegung und Langskraft, Querkraft und Torsion wird durch eine Einfuhrung in Stabwerkmodelle, die Bemessung von Schubfugen und die Nachweise gegen...

Innovative ideas, concepts and solutions for facade design, all exceptional in terms of urban development, architecture, technology and function, are presented using around 250 international buildings and projects from well-known architects, including Richard Meier, Daniel Libeskind, and Gehry Partners.

Using steel and concrete together utilizes the beneficial material properties of both elements. Concrete filled steel tubes represent a good example of a concrete - steel composite structure, and are particularly useful as columns in high rise buildings and bridge piers. They can be used in a range of fields, from civil and industrial construction through to the mining industry.

Several aspects of concrete filled tubes have received little coverage in existing design standards, design guides or relevant books, but are addressed here: construction methods or quality and their effect...

Preface Construction has turned into an ever more complex At major structural engineering projects, project mesh of relationships between increasingly accelerating participants from the most different areas of interests processes, decisions and actions. At the same time, and knowledge gather in one place: Architects, project however, there is a development toward sustainable managers and specialized planners, representatives design that leads to buildings providing the best possible of the client, of the relevant authorities and also from connection of functionality and architecture, energy...

This volume describes the southern part of Bramber rape, the easternmost of the three rapes of West Sussex. It tells the history of 19 parishes lying along the coastal strip and over the South Downs. The rape takes its name from the castle at Bramber, which was the centre of the feudal honour and in whose shadow the de Braoses, the lords of the rape, planted a new town. Neighbouring Steyning, once one of the chief towns of the county, was a Saxon foundation with a college of secular canons and a port on the river Adur. The port gradually silted up and was replaced by that at New Shoreham,...

The design of supply pipework and systems in buildings requires an understanding of the relationships between water supply and disposal. Basics Water Cycles presents the fundamentals and technical background of sanitary installations, and explains clearly the key factors that must be considered in the design of water cycles in buildings.

The book provides strategies for an energetically sensible and suitable approach to building conditioning as well as its design and constructional integration. How much the building itself can achieve in the context of the given climatic, topographical, and town-planning framework conditions and to what extent additional installations are required for conditioning all of these topics are discussed on the basis of case studies.

Die Verwendung neuartiger Materialien stellt einen wichtigen Trend in der Landschaftsarchitektur dar. Dazu gehoren z.B. biologisch abbaubare Geotextilien, superabsorbierende Polymere und Pflanzen, die sensitiv auf sich wandelnde Bodenbedingungen reagieren. Die verfugbaren Materialien und Technologien werden in ihrer teils experimentellen, teils ausgereiften Anwendung dargestellt.

Der Dach Atlas ist ein Konstruktionsfachbuch fur Architekten und Fachplaner. Er liefert neben grundsatzlichen Konstruktionsregeln einen Uberblick uber die Nutzungs- und Konstruktionsarten sowie die Regelaufbauten fur Fachdacher. Zusammen mit den wichtigsten Normen und Regelwerken runden Konstruktionsdarstellungen der wesentlichen Anschlusspunkte die Publikation ab.

der komplett uberarbeitete Glasbau Atlas vermittelt in kompakter ansprechender Form die aktuellen Kenntnisse zum Planen und Konstruieren mit Glas, von der Geschichte uber die technischen Grundlagen bis hin zu den innovativsten Einsatzmoglichkeiten.

After two decades, data processing has finally, and probably forever, found its niche among civil engineering and construction (CEC) professionnals, through word processors, digitizing tables, management software, and increasingly via drawing software and computer-aided design (CAD), recently, robots have even started invading work sites. What are the main trends of CAD and robotics in the field of architecture and civil enginee- ring? What type of R&D effort do university and industrial laboratories undertake to devise the professional software that will be on the market in the next three to...

"Ready or not, it's high time to make BIM a part of your practice, or at least your vocabulary, and this book has as much to offer beginners as it does seasoned users of building information modeling software."
--Chicago Architect

The first book devoted to the subject of how BIM affects individuals and organizations working within the ever-changing construction industry, BIM and Integrated Design discusses the implementation of building information modeling software as a cultural process with a focus on the technology's impact and transformative effect--both potentially...
