Abstract

Structures made out of wood, steel, concrete or brick have been studied for many years, are taught in institutes and at universities and are very well known to everyone involved in the building industry. Since the mid fifties however, a new type of construction entered the world of building and has ever-since been studied and developed. Nowadays building with flexible, lightweight materials such as coated membranes, cables, etc. has become a new form of construction with its very own principles and characteristics. The aim of the proceedings of the symposium The design of membrane and lightweight structures, held in Brussels in September 2000, is to increase interest in and appreciation for membrane and lightweight building. Architects, engineers, constructors as well as professors and students interested or involved in the design and manufacture of non-conventional structures will find in this book valuable information about existing lightweight constructions, material properties, design concepts and research topics. The rather new type of construction has been looked at in all its aspects, from material characteristics to statical analysis, from concept to execution. Contributions by international speakers with years of experience are included to illustrate the wide range of applications: the Planet M pavilion and the Cycle Bowl at Expo 2000, the Millennium Dome, the Eden project and many more.

Abstract

Chapters cover the history of the material, the properties of plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete, surface finishes, the basic engineering principles of large and small structures and the building requirements with respect to thermal and sound insulation, fire protection and moisture control, reflecting the most recent standards and statutory instruments. Finally, a large number of built examples are presented - from photographs of the completed structures down to detailed plans - to illustrate the broad spectrum of applications for concrete in contemporary building. This volume demonstrates the potential of concrete and documents comprehensively the engineering principles of using concrete in construction.

Abstract

In zeven hoofdstukken wordt de belangrijkste leerstof over planten en dieren, lichaam en gezondheid, ecologie en milieu en verschijnselen uit de natuur en de techniek gepresenteerd. De keuze van onderwerpen sluit aan bij de kerndoelen basisonderwijs en bij recente natuuronderwijsmethodes. Om de leerkracht te helpen grip te krijgen op de essentie van de onderwerpen is de stof inzichtelijk gemaakt met instructieve tekeningen, veel vragen en `doe-opdrachten' en ideeën voor concrete lesactiviteiten.

Abstract

The initial plans for this book sprang from a late-afternoon conversation in a hotel bar. All three authors were attending the 1996 meeting of the Population As- ciation of America in New Orleans. While nursing drinks and expounding on a variety of topics, we began talking about our current research projects. It so happened that all three of us had been entertaining the notion of writing a book on state and local population projections. Recognizing the enormity of the project for a single author, we quickly decided to collaborate. Had we not decided to work together, it is unlikely that this book ever would have been written. The last comprehensive treatment of state and local population projections was Don Pittenger’s excellent work Projecting State and Local Populations (1976). Many changes affecting the production of population projections have occurred since that time. Technological changes have led to vast increases in computing power, new data sources, the development of GIS, and the creation of the Internet. The procedures for applying a number of projection methods have changed considerably, and several completely new methods have been developed.
