Download or read book How Buildings Work written by Edward Allen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrated with hundreds of illuminating line drawings, this classic guide reveals virtually every secret of a building's function: how it stands up, keeps its occupants safe and comfortable, gets built, grows old, and dies--and why some buildings do this so much better than others. Drawing on things he's learned from the many buildings he himself designed (and in some cases built with his own hands), Edward Allen explains complex phenomena such as the role of the sun in heating buildings and the range of structural devices that are used for support, from trusses and bearing walls to post-tensioned concrete beams and corbeled vaults. He stresses the importance of intelligent design in dealing with such problems as overheating and overcooling, excessive energy use, leaky roofs and windows, fire safety, and noisy interiors. He serves up some surprises: thermal insulation is generally a better investment than solar collectors; board fences are not effective noise barriers; there's one type of window that can be left open during a rainstorm. The new edition emphasizes "green" architecture and eco-conscious design and construction. It features a prologue on sustainable construction, and includes new information on topics such as the collapse of the World Trade Center, sick building syndrome, and EIFS failures and how they could have been prevented. Allen also highlights the array of amazing new building materials now available, such as self-cleaning glass, photovoltaics, transparent ceramics, cloud gel, and super-high-strength concrete and structural fibers. Edward Allen makes it easy for everyone--from armchair architects and sidewalk superintendents to students of architecture and construction--to understand the mysteries and complexities of even the largest building, from how it recycles waste and controls the movement of air, to how it is kept alive and growing.

The emphasis throughout is on design - the problem of providing a structure to fulfil a given purpose - but fundamental concepts are also described in detail. All major topics are dealt with, including prestressed flat slabs, an important and growing application in the design of buildings. The text is illustrated throughout with worked examples and problems for further study. Examples are given of computer spreadsheets for typical design calculations. Prestressed Concrete Design will be a valuable guide to practising engineers, students and research workers.

Book excerpt: For practicing engineers, students, contractors, building officials, plan checkers, and researchers. Drawing upon thirty-two years of world wide experience, topics in post-tensioning are covered in-depth and taken to the point of practical application. Covers US and European Codes for Post-Tensioning Design Unbonded and Bonded (Grouted) Systems - Construction Technology and Design Procedures Post-Tensioned Floor Design - Step-by-Step calculation Post-Tensioned Beam Design - Step-by-Step Calculation Software and Design Tools; Design Flow Charts and Examples Stress Losses; Deflections; Cracking and Crack Width Application of Finite Elements to Design Application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to Post-Tensioning The book assumes a basic knowledge of conventionally reinforced concrete design. Founded on this knowledge, the material presented covers the full range of post-tensioning principles, including the know-how necessary for expedient and efficient designs. The focus of the book is on the science of engineering, while covering in detail the "art" of post-tensioning practice. Emphasis is on the primary objectives of design for "serviceability" and "safety," and how to achieve them, while describing the diversity in local or traditional practice. The material is organized to benefit a wide audience of designers, as well as plan checkers and reviewers, in particular to facilitate the process of project approval. The book comes in two versions: a US Edition, and an International Edition. The US Edition uses the US system of units (lb, in) that is common in US construction, along with the equivalent values in SI units (N, mm). It covers both ACI/IBC and EC2, which in addition to being mandatory in a large number of European countries is being used more and more as a basis for other building codes. The International Edition of the book covers the same topics according to both ACI/IBC and EC2, in the SI (N, mm) system of units. In addition, where applicable, it includes the recommendations of TR43, a publication of the UK Concrete Society that provides recommendations for design and construction of post-tensioned buildings www.PT-Structures.com www.adaptsoft.com

Download or read book Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors written by Martin Williams and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-09-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-tensioning is the most versatile form of pre stressing, a technique which enables engineers to make the most effective use of the material properties of concrete, and so to design structural elements which are strong, slender and efficient. Design in post-tensioned concrete is not difficult and, if done properly, can contribute significantly to the economy and the aesthetic qualities of a building. Post-tensioned floors have found widespread use in office buildings and car park structures, and are also frequently employed in warehouses and public buildings. However, in spite of this, most prestressed concrete texts devote comparatively little attention to floors, concentrating instead on beam elements. This book answers the need for a comprehensive treatment of post-tensioned floor design.
