Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the demands of telecommunications and computer equipment, building owners and designers are facing an increasingly difficult problem for wire management in today's electronic workplace. This thesis is to investigate and design the accessible sunken floor systems for multi-story steel buildings with proliferating data cables and mechanical equipment. The terminology of an accessible sunken floor system or a dropped floor system is not new. Sunken floor has been used in reinforced concrete buildings with flat slabs and multi-story steel-framed construction with solid wide-flange beams. However, the design of an accessible sunken floor system with open-web steel joists and joist girders is an innovation, by leading steel design and construction industry into a new era. Sunken floors are sirniliar to raised floors, which are composed of removable square floor panels on metal pedestals to provide space for electrical or mechanical equipment or both. The removable panels provide easy access to the equipment below. These floors are commonly used in computer rooms, clean rooms and new office buildings which require extensive mechanical and electrical service. A clean room environment with air return through accessible plenums is essential in microelectronics and pharmaceutical facilities, in hospital operating rooms, in bio-genetic research laboratories and production areas, and in assembly plants for items such as computer disk drives and compact disks. Accessible sunken floor systems are used to avoid ramps or stairs as opposite to raised floor systems. Also, the finished floor-to-floor height in multi-story construction is less than the acceptable height for a raised floor, with subsequent savings on other more expensive building materials. Moreover, the construction cycle for steel buildings with open-web steel joists and joist girders is faster if the finished floor is composed of removable floor panels. One of the proposed systems is to substitute conventional concrete metal decks for fire-rated acoustical ceilings and horizontal bracings to cut down the construction cycle and costs. A second variation of the proposed systems permits economies in concrete slab finish by using lightweight concrete poured on corrugated metal decks, or by using pour- in -place or precast slabs below the finished floor panels, and the floor system is suspended 4 inches below the top chord of the steel joists as a horizontal diaphragm and fire barrier. This thesis will explore the building system integration and forecast the construction cycle and costs. An evaluation of the proposed systems will be presented with matrix diagrams to summarize the conclusion of this paper.
Book Synopsis Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences by : Wade H. Shafer
Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 32 (thesis year 1987) a total of 12,483 theses titles from 22 Canadian and 176 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 32 reports theses submitted in 1987, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Synopsis The Case for Tall Wood Buildings by : Michael Green
Download or read book The Case for Tall Wood Buildings written by Michael Green and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a new structural system in wood that represents the first significant challenge to concrete and steel structures since their inception in tall building design more than a century ago. The introduction of these ideas is driven by the need to find safe, carbon-neutral and sustainable alternatives to the incumbent structural materials of the urban world. The potential market for these ideas is quite simply enormous. The proposed solutions have the potential to revolutionize the building industry, address the major challenges of climate change, urbanization, and sustainable development and to significantly contribute to world housing needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rafael Vinoly became famous as the architect of the stunning Tokyo International Forum (1989-1996). In Japan, where land is at a premium and public spaces are rare, the Forum with its 2.7 hectares and unusual design of public space, was widely admired. Originating in Uruguay, Vinoly heads an architectural office with an impressive list of projects in the areas of architecture, urban planning and interior design, including significant buildings such as the Philadelphia Regional Performing Arts Center which opened recently, Princeton University Stadium, the New Bronx Supreme Criminal Court Complex. In 1969 Vinoly founded his first office in Buenos Aires which was influenced by the Modern Movement but also by the ideas and concepts of the 1960s reflected in the work of Buckminster Fuller, Archigram and the Smithsons. Due to the political situation he emigrated and opened an office in New York in 1982. Despite the difficulties involved in starting over again in a new country where in the meantime post-modernism was prevalent, Vinoly stayed true to his style of architecture, feeling bound to the ethical considerations of modernism yet constantly questioning it, adapting it to changing conditions. With offices in New York and Tokyo, Rafael Vinoly Architects is now one of the most successful architectural offices worldwide. This book documents a large number of Vinoly's most significant buildings and projects. It also includes an essay by Joan Ockman, one of the best-known architecture theoreticians in the USA, and texts by Rafael Vinoly on his career which has been marked by the difficult political situation in Argentina and the cultural exchange between S. America, Europe and the USA.
Book Synopsis Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel by : Terri Meyer Boake
Download or read book Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel written by Terri Meyer Boake and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the means for a better control and purposeful consideration of the design of Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS). It deploys a detailed categorization of AESS and its uses according to design context, building typology and visual exposure. In a rare combination, this approach makes high quality benchmarks compatible with economies in terms of material use, fabrication methods, workforce and cost. Building with exposed steel has become more and more popular worldwide, also as advances in fire safety technology have permitted its use for building tasks under stringent fire regulations. On her background of long standing as a teacher in architectural steel design affiliated with many institutions, the author ranks among the world‘s best scholars on this topic. Among the fields covered by the extensive approach of this book are the characteristics of the various categories of AESS, the interrelatedness of design, fabrication and erection of the steel structures, issues of coating and protection (including corrosion and fire protection), special materials like weathering steel and stainless steel, the member choices and a connection design checklist. The description draws on many international examples from advanced contemporary architecture, all visited and photographed by the author, among which figure buildings like the Amgen Helix Bridge in Seattle, the Shard Observation Level in London, the New York Times Building and the Arganquela Footbridge.
