Book Synopsis Effective Inquiry for Innovative Engineering Design by : Ozgur Eris
Download or read book Effective Inquiry for Innovative Engineering Design written by Ozgur Eris and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective Inquiry for Innovative Engineering Design presents empirical evidence for this claim. It demonstrates a unique attribute of design thinking by identifying and characterizing a class of questions called "Generative Design Questions". These questions are frequently asked by designers in dialog. Their use constitutes a fundamental cognitive mechanism in design thinking. Their discovery stems from another finding of the work: a conceptual duality between questions and decisions that is engraved deep within the design process. This duality challenges a view that treats designing as decision making. Decisions form the tip of the iceberg; Questions keep it afloat: Can an effective decision making process be performed without having high quality information? Can high quality information be acquired and generated without performing an effective inquiry process? The answer to both questions is no, and underscores the importance of our quest to better understand the role of inquiry in design.

Book Synopsis Tunnels and Underground Cities. Engineering and Innovation Meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art by : Daniele Peila
Download or read book Tunnels and Underground Cities. Engineering and Innovation Meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art written by Daniele Peila and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art contains the contributions presented at the World Tunnel Congress 2019 (Naples, Italy, 3-9 May 2019). The use of underground space is continuing to grow, due to global urbanization, public demand for efficient transportation, and energy saving, production and distribution. The growing need for space at ground level, along with its continuous value increase and the challenges of energy saving and achieving sustainable development objectives, demand greater and better use of the underground space to ensure that it supports sustainable, resilient and more liveable cities. This vision was the source of inspiration for the design of the logos of both the International (ITA) and Italian (SIG) Tunnelling Association. By placing key infrastructures underground – the black circle in the logos – it will be possible to preserve and enhance the quality of the space at ground level – the green line. In order to consider and value underground space usage together with human and social needs, engineers, architects, and artists will have to learn to collaborate and develop an interdisciplinary design approach that addresses functionality, safety, aesthetics and quality of life, and adaptability to future and varied functions. The 700 contributions cover a wide range of topics, from more traditional subjects connected to technical challenges of design and construction of underground works, with emphasis on innovation in tunneling engineering, to less conventional and archetypically Italian themes such as archaeology, architecture, and art. The book has the following main themes: Archaeology, Architecture and Art in underground construction; Environment sustainability in underground construction; Geological and geotechnical knowledge and requirements for project implementation; Ground improvement in underground constructions; Innovation in underground engineering, materials and equipment; Long and deep tunnels; Public communication and awareness; Risk management, contracts and financial aspects; Safety in underground construction; Strategic use of underground space for resilient cities; Urban tunnels. Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art is a valuable reference text for tunneling specialists, owners, engineers, architects and others involved in underground planning, design and building around the world, and for academics who are interested in underground constructions and geotechnics.

Book Synopsis Optimizing the Performance of Gypsum Wall Board in Wood Frame Shear Walls by : Scott I. Goodall
Download or read book Optimizing the Performance of Gypsum Wall Board in Wood Frame Shear Walls written by Scott I. Goodall and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall goal of this project was to design a wood frame shear wall that could withstand greater displacement before damage occurred to the Gypsum Wall Board (GWB). More specifically, the objectives of the study were: (1) to evaluate damage to the GWB in alternative shear wall designs at 1%, 2% and 3% drift levels and compare these results to current performance-based design standards, (2) to evaluate quantitatively the relative displacement between the GWB and the wood frame under monotonic loading and (3) to evaluate the value of alternative shear wall designs considering damage sustained from design drift levels. A total of 14 shear walls consisting of seven different designs with two walls built per design were tested to failure. Six of these walls had 1105 mm x 610 mm window openings and eight did not. All shear walls were 2440 mm x 2440 mm in size and built from 38 mm x 89 mm Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) studs at 610 mm on center (o. c.). The seven shear wall designs tested included two control designs based on the minimum 2009 International Residential Code requirements. One control design included a window opening and another did not. The SEPSTUD wall design included a larger screw to GWB edge distance, while the 3INNAIL design included a closer OSB nail spacing. The 2OSBWIN and 2OSB wall designs, respectively, with and without a window opening, included Oriented Strand Board (OSB) panels attached to both sides of the wood frame and the GWB attached on top of the OSB. The 4PNLWIN design attached the GWB as four different panels around the window opening, instead of two panels. Shear wall test behavior generally agreed with the ASCE/SEI 41-06 performance-based drift criteria. 1% drift occurred between 57-80% of total wall capacity, 2% drift occurred between 84-97% of wall capacity and 3% drift occurred between 97-100% of wall capacity. The results of the visual failure comparison indicated that little damage was observed in the GWB for walls loaded to the NDS allowable strength. The results of the shear wall visual failure comparison indicated that all innovative shear wall designs outperformed the control designs at 1% drift. This was because less GWB damage was observed in the innovative shear wall designs. At 2% and 3% drift, the 4PNLWIN and SEPSTUD designs performed worse than the control. The 3INNAIL design performed slightly better, and the 2OSB and 2OSBWIN designs performed superior to the control designs at 2% and 3% drift. The greater performance of all these designs can be attributed to the increase in strength and stiffness of these shear walls. However, superior performance of the 2OSB and 2OSBWIN designs was due to the similar stiffness of both sides of the shear wall, resulting in equal load sharing and less damage to the GWB. Shear walls with magnitudes of the relative displacement vectors above the visual failure limit of 3 mm exhibited inferior GWB performance, which is consistent with the visual failure results. A shear wall value comparison indicated that the 3INNAIL, 2OSB and 2OSBWIN designs all exhibited a more efficient use of shear wall materials at 1% and 2% drift than the control designs. However, when considering a design earthquake drift level, 2OSB and 2OSBWIN designs demonstrate the most efficient use of shear wall materials.
