"Comment optimiser l'implantation d'un ouvrage sur sa parcelle ? Quelles sont les phases d'exécution du terrassement ? Quel type de fondations est adapté à des couches de terrain situées à une faible profondeur ? Comment réaliser le coffrage et le ferraillage d'un poteau en béton armé ? Quelle est la nature des charges sur une poutre ? Quelles sont les différences entre une dalle sur entrevous et un plancher préfabriqué ? Comment couler un voile en béton armé ? Comment fabriquer un escalier ? Toutes ces questions trouvent une réponse dans ce livre didactique et technique. De l'implantation des ouvrages à leur réalisation, ce manuel est une introduction aux procédés généraux de construction et aux techniques de mise en oeuvre des matériaux. Ainsi, cet ouvrage qui suit la chronologie d'un chantier : présente les notions fondamentales de l'exécution du terrassement et de la reconnaissance des sols ; décrit la nature des efforts et sollicitations ; expose les principes de mise en place des armatures et des coffrages ; détaille la mise en oeuvre des poutres, des planchers, des voiles en béton et des escaliers. De nombreuses photographies et illustrations de mise en situation permettent de visualiser les conditions réelles de fabrication et de mise en oeuvre. Idéal pour acquérir une vision globale de la construction." [Éditeur]

The Kingdome, John ("Jack") Christiansen's best-known work, was the largest freestanding concrete dome in the world. Built amid public controversy, the multipurpose arena was designed to stand for a thousand years but was demolished in a great cloud of dust after less than a quarter century. Many know the fate of Seattle's iconic dome, but fewer are familiar with its innovative structural engineer, Jack Christensen (1927-2017), and his significant contribution to Pacific Northwest and modernist architecture. Christiansen designed more than a hundred projects in the region: public schools and gymnasiums, sculptural church spaces, many of the Seattle Center's 1962 World's Fair buildings, and the Museum of Flight's vast glass roof all reflect his expressive ideas. Inspired by Northwest topography and drawn to the region's mountains and profound natural landscapes, Christiansen employed hyperbolic paraboloid forms, barrel-vault structures, and efficient modular construction to echo and complement the forms he loved in nature. Notably, he became an enthusiastic proponent of using thin shell concrete-the Kingdome being the most prominent example-to create inexpensive, utilitarian space on a large scale. Tyler Sprague places Christiansen within a global cohort of thin shell engineer-designers, exploring the use of a remarkable structural medium known for its minimal use of material, architectually expressive forms, and long-span capability. Examining Christiansen's creative design and engineering work, Sprague, who interviewed Christiansen extensively, illuminates his legacy of graceful, distinctive concrete architectural forms, highlighting their lasting imprint on the region's built environment.
