Abstract

Most architectural standards references contain thousands of pages of details overwhelmingly more than architects need to know to know on any given day. The Architecture Reference & Specification Book contains vital information that's essential to planning and executing architectural projects of all shapes and sizes, in a format that is small enough to carry anywhere. It distills the data provided in standard architectural volumes and is an easy-to-use reference for the most indispensable and most requested types of architectural information.

Abstract

Building openings provide light, ventilation and climate control for rooms. At the same time, they are essential functional and design elements of facades, enabling communication between indoor and outdoor spaces as transparent or translucent structural components. Similar to the entire building envelope, windows and exterior doors must meet exacting standards for materials, construction types and installation conditions, as well as for fire, noise and thermal insulation, energy efficiency, airtightness and building security. The Building Openings Construction Manual opens with historic developments, provides solid facts on standards and safety features. It covers materials, components, construction types and specifics of structural connections, including solutions on how to deal with existing older windows and issues of ventilation, the use of solar energy and ecological sustainability. Detailed case studies of successfully completed projects offer a wealth of constructive ideas for the reader's own work.

Abstract

As a building material, precast concrete allows a wide range of sculptural forms and design options. By treating the surface in various ways, fascinating textures and fine finishes can be produced.This book provides a systematic overview of the variety of applications for such concrete elements throughout Europe. Author David Bennett provides in-depth information on newly developed, especially lightweight forms of concrete such as GRC (Glass-Fibre Reinforced Concrete), Ductal and CRC (Compact Reinforced Composite). A selection of some 24 projects which are of particular significance, are documented in detail and provide a wealth of inspiring design ideas. The appendix comprises an overview of the building practices in the individual European countries and the availability of concrete elements. Amongst the buildings documented are the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh by Enric Miralles Benedetta Tagliabue, the Synagogue in Dresden by Wandel, Hoefer, Lorch + Hirsch, and the Mexican Embassy in Berlin by González de León. Der Werkstoff Beton erlaubt gerade bei vorgefertigten Elementen eine große Bandbreite skulpturaler Formen und gestalterischer Möglichkeiten. Durch unterschiedliche Oberflächenbearbeitung entstehen interessante Texturen. Dieses Buch gibt einen systematischen Überblick zu den Anwendungsmöglichkeiten solcher Betonelemente in ganz Europa. Ausführlich geht Bennett auf neu entwickelte, besondere leichte Betonsorten wie GFL-Beton (Glasfaserverstärkter Beton), Ductal und CRC ein. Eine Auswahl von ca. 24 besonders interessanten Projekten wird ausführlich dokumentiert und gibt eine Fülle von Anregungen für den Entwurf. Zu den vorgestellten Bauten gehören das Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh von Enric Miralles Benedetta Tagliabue, die Synagoge in Dresden von Wandel, Hoefer, Lorch + Hirsch, die Botschaft Mexikos in Berlin von González de León u.a.

Abstract

Every building is composed of parts, or components, that may be organized in various ways. For example, there are different ways to configure walls so that they perform their primary functions - bearing, dividing, and sheltering - in an optimal manner.This book presents the most common load-bearing systems, such as plate, massive, and skeleton construction, and describes their impact on the structure as a whole. It explains how spaces can be vertically or horizontally connected and assembled into larger wholes. The individual elements, such as floor slabs, roofs, openings, and foundations, are described together with their functions and the various possibilities for connecting them.The book goes beyond the wealth of possible detail to demonstrate the basic principles of detailing. Numerous specially prepared drawings set forth the principles of components and then illustrate them with reference to realized projects. Jedes Gebäude besteht aus Teilen, die vielfältig organisiert werden können. Wände etwa lassen sich auf unterschiedliche Weise anordnen, um ihre Hauptfunktionen - Tragen, Trennen und Schützen - optimal wahrzunehmen. Das Buch stellt die gängigen Tragsysteme wie Scheiben-, Massiv- oder Skelettbauweise vor und zeigt deren Auswirkung auf das Gesamtgefüge. Es erklärt, wie Räume vertikal oder horizontal verbunden und zu einem Ganzen zusammengesetzt werden können. Die einzelnen Elemente wie Geschossdecken, Dächer, Öffnungen oder Fundamente werden in ihren Funktionen und mit ihren Verbindungsmöglichkeiten dargestellt.Das Buch zeigt hinter der Fülle der möglichen Details die Prinzipien der Detaillierung. Zahlreiche, eigens angefertigte Zeichnungen erklären die Prinzipien der Bauteile und verdeutlichen diese dann an realisierten Projekten.

Abstract

The Automotive Chassis is the result of two decades of experience : On the one hand from the experience of teaching courses such as Vehicle Mechanics, Vehicle System Design, Chassis Design to engineering students; on the other hand from the design practice of vehicle and chassis components in a large automotive company. This work is addressed primarily to students of automotive engineering and secondarily to all technicians and designers working in this field. It is also addressed to all enthusiasts who are looking for a technical guide.The text is subdivided in two volumes. The first one deals with the automotive chassis componenst, such as a structure, usually a ladder framework, able to carry all the remaining components of the vehicle; the suspensions for the mechanical linkage of wheels with the framework; the wheels and their tires; the steering system for changing wheel angles according to vehicle path; the brake system for reducing speed or stopping the vehicle; the transmission for applying engine torque to the driving wheels.The second volume deals with the automotive chassis as a system, studying how it influences vehicle performance and dealing in detail with mathematical models useful for the design and analysis of the vehicle.
