Abstract

Wood is one of the most valuable materials for mankind, and since our earliest days wood materials have been widely used. Today we have modern woodworking machine and tools; however, the raw wood materials available are continuously declining. Therefore we are forced to use this precious material more economically, reducing waste wherever possible. This new textbook on the “Mechanics of Wood Machining” combines the quantitative, mathematical analysis of the mechanisms of wood processing with practical recommendations and solutions. Bringing together materials from many sources, the book contains new theoretical and experimental approaches and offers a clear and systematic overview of the theory of wood cutting, thermal loading in wood-cutting tools, dynamic behaviour of tool and work piece, optimum choice of operational parameters and energy consumption, the wear process of the tools, and the general regularities of wood surface roughness. Diagrams are provided for the quick estimation of various process parameters. This book will be useful for scientists, graduate and postgraduate students, and practising engineers seeking a deeper understanding of physical phenomena associated with real woodworking processes.

Abstract

Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a tradition with a long history. The timber architecture which has ensued over the past centuries reveals to the modern observer the depth of knowledge which has enabled both Eastern und Western cultures to use this wonderful material in such a creative way. In the most typical method of building with wood, elements are connected by using wood joints which do not require the assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. This art of wood jointing reached its zenith in Japan; but Europe too provided its share of highly influential forms. By looking at several hundred examples from Japan and 18 European countries, with a new chapter on China added to this enlarged edition, this book describes in great detail the history of timber architecture in terms of its technical, aesthetic and ecological dimensions. This thorough study is a mine of information to specialists in this field; it opens up to the craftsman of today what has become an almost forgotten world and provides a fascinating account for the general reader. "Here is a man who has trekked though the wild Carpathian forests, the Norwegian outback, the Russian steppes and obscure regions of Japan in pursuit of the wood joint. He tells the story with a sense of unfolding discovery; for anyone interested in how buildings work this book is a joy to read." the architects' journal Das Bauen mit Holz als einem gestalterisch eigenständigen und ökologisch sinnvollen Werkstoff hat eine lange Tradition. Holzarchitektur vermittelt der heutigen Zeit das vielfältige Wissen westlicher und östlicher Kulturen über den schöpferischen Umgang mit diesem unverwechselbaren Material. Das Bauen mit Holz als einem gestalterisch eigenständigen und ökologisch sinnvollen Werkstoff hat eine lange Tradition. Holzarchitektur vermittelt der heutigen Zeit das vielfältige Wissen westlicher und östlicher Kulturen über den schöpferischen Umgang mit diesem unverwechselbaren Material. Bei der typischen Technik des Bauens mit Holz, der reinen Holzverbindung, werden die Elemente ohne materialfremde Hilfe, ohne Leim oder Metall, nur durch das gekonnt entworfene Ineinander der hölzernen Teile verbunden. Zur höchsten Blüte gelangte die Kunst der Holzverbindung in Japan, aber auch in europäischen Ländern haben sich einflussreiche Formen entwickelt. Deshalb wird hier die Geschichte der Holzarchitektur in ihren technischen, ästhetischen und ökologischen Dimensionen detailgenau anhand von vielen hundert Beispielen aus Japan und 18 europäischen Ländern - in dieser Neuausgabe um ein Kapitel über China erweitert - beschrieben. Die Schönheit der Holzbauten und ihrer Details vermittelt sich in brillanten Schwarzweißaufnahmen. In anschaulichen dreidimensionalen Zeichnungen offenbart sich das geheime Innenleben der Holzverbindungen. Aus einem ganzheitlichen Verständnis wird ein Bild des Bauens mit Holz entworfen, das Fachleute informiert, Baupraktikern eine heute fast verlorene Welt neu erschließt und Laien ganz einfach zu faszinieren vermag. «Ein Buch für Ästheten ...» Baumeister «Zwergers Liebe zum Material zieht sich durch das ganze Buch.» architektur.aktuell

Abstract

Each year, North Americans spend as much money fixing up their homes as they do buying new ones. This obsession with improving our dwellings has given rise to a multibillion-dollar industry that includes countless books, consumer magazines, a cable television network, and thousands of home improvement stores. Building a Market charts the rise of the home improvement industry in the United States and Canada from the end of World War I into the late 1950s. Drawing on the insights of business, social, and urban historians, and making use of a wide range of documentary sources, Richard Harris shows how the middle-class preference for home ownership first emerged in the 1920s-and how manufacturers, retailers, and the federal government combined to establish the massive home improvement market and a pervasive culture of Do-It-Yourself. Deeply insightful, Building a Market is the carefully crafted history of the emergence and evolution of a home improvement revolution that changed not just American culture but the American landscape as well.

Abstract

Bowett charts the species, sources, and history of the woods used in British furniture making from medieval times to the twentieth century. The main dictionary section of the book has 460 entries that cover 477 species of hardwoods and softwoods and detail the history of each wood, describe its uses, and provide cross references to other woods. Extensively illustrated with examples of historic furniture, this book also includes an introductory survey of the historic timber trade and several appendices, including over 160 illustrated wood samples from the Economic Botany collection at Kew Gardens. The layout and accompanying photographs make this a valuable and accessible read that will interest furniture and antique enthusiasts, collectors, restorers, curators, and botanists, among others.

Abstract

Detail-Practice: Dry Constrcution liefert einen Überblick über die gängigen Trockenbausysteme, gegliedert nach den Bauteilen Wand, Decke, Boden, und ihren Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Der Band ist konzipiert als Arbeitshandbuch für Entwurf und Planung. Bei der Trockenbauweise im Innenausbau werden keine durchnässenden Baustoffe wie Beton oder Putz zur Errichtung der Bauteile benötigt, sondern "Trockenbausysteme". Diese Bauweise ist nicht nur kosteneffizient, weil sämtliche bauphysikalischen Anforderungen bezüglich Wärme-, Kälte-, Schall-, Brandschutz etc. erfüllt werden können. Unter Einsatz neuer Materialtechnologien ermöglicht diese Bauweise auch eine unerschöpfliche Gestaltungsfreiheit, da die Oberflächen nahezu grenzenlos formbar sind und zudem multifunktional, indem sie Beleuchtung, Heizung, Kühlung übernehmen können. Der allgemeine Teil wird ergänzt durch Ausführungsbeispiele bestehender Projekte mit übersichtlichen Leitdetails sowie durch Sonderkonstruktionen beispielsweise in Feuchträumen. Das Buch zeigt das Potential der Bauweise durch den Einsatz neuer Materialien und Bausysteme auf. Regelzeichnungen veranschaulichen wie in den Vorgängerbänden gängige Konstruktionsdetails. Karsten Tichelmann ist Leiter des Instituts für Trocken- und Leichtbau an der TU Darmstadt. Jochen Pfau ist Prof. für Light-Tech, Trocken- und Leichtbauweisen an der TU Darmstadt. Beide sind Autoren des Trockenbau Atlas vom R. Müller Verlag (nur dt. Sprachausgabe). Detail-Practice: Dry Construction provides an overview of the most widely used dry construction systems, organized according to the building components wall, ceiling, and floor and their applications. The volume is conceived as a practical manual for design and planning. Dry construction in interior design employs "dry construction systems" in place of moisture-retaining materials such as concrete and plaster. Not only is this construction method cost-effective, since the full range of physical requirements, including thermal, cold, and sound insulation, fire safety, etc., can be satisfied. Thanks to the use of new material technologies, it also affords the designer nearly unlimited freedom, since the surfaces involved are almost infinitely malleable as well as multifunctional, capable of assuming the tasks of lighting, heating, and cooling. The general section is supplemented by examples from existing projects with clearly visible reference details as well as from special constructions, for example, in damp locations. The book shows the potential this construction method obtains from the use of new materials and construction systems. As in the preceding volumes of the series, standard drawings are used to illustrate common construction details. Karsten Tichelmann is the director of the Institut für Trocken- und Leichtbau (Institute for Dry and Lightweight Construction) at the Technische Universität Darmstadt (Darmstadt University of Technology). Jochen Pfau is professor of light-tech, dry, and lightweight construction at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. Both are authors of the Trockenbau Atlas (Dry Construction Manual) published by the R. Müller Verlag (available in German only).
