Book Synopsis Lectures on Buildings by : Mark Ronan
Download or read book Lectures on Buildings written by Mark Ronan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In mathematics, “buildings” are geometric structures that represent groups of Lie type over an arbitrary field. This concept is critical to physicists and mathematicians working in discrete mathematics, simple groups, and algebraic group theory, to name just a few areas. Almost twenty years after its original publication, Mark Ronan’s Lectures on Buildings remains one of the best introductory texts on the subject. A thorough, concise introduction to mathematical buildings, it contains problem sets and an excellent bibliography that will prove invaluable to students new to the field. Lectures on Buildings will find a grateful audience among those doing research or teaching courses on Lie-type groups, on finite groups, or on discrete groups. “Ronan’s account of the classification of affine buildings [is] both interesting and stimulating, and his book is highly recommended to those who already have some knowledge and enthusiasm for the theory of buildings.”—Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Building Construction Yet the design was such that the forces had always to be counterbalanced in a very indirect and costly way. Only the religious enthusiasm of the Middle Ages and a fine artistic sense, combined with the modern engineer's skill, without his sense of economy, could have produced such a type of building. The modern architect seems often to have inherited the artistic sense of his medieval predecessor-but not always his skill as a structural designer. With buildings of the simpler and cheaper type, the engineer has not often much to do; yet. they present many interesting points in construction, though not requiring any great amount of mathematics in their design. On the subject of frame buildings, little can be added to Part II of Kidder's Building Construction and Superintendence. Some points brought out by him, however, may well be emphasized. In the matter of the frame, the method shown in Figure 19, page 50, could hardly be improved; considering cost and efficiency together, it is probably the best that can be done. The importance of having at all points the same amount of timber capable of shrinking in a vertical direction can not be overestimated. The lengthwise shrinkage of timber, while by no means inappreciable, is not enough to cause cracks in plaster or to spoil the fit of doors and windows. But its crosswise shrinkage is a very different matter. If one end of a partition is supported on 6 inches more of shrink-able timber than the other, cracks will surely appear in time, and the fit of doors will be noticeably impaired. Where inequalities in the amount of shrinkable timber are inevitable, it would be well, in the case of those members whose shrinkage will cause trouble, to buy kiln-dried lumber, if obtainable in suitable sizes, and give it a priming coat of paint before exposing it to the weather in the unfinished building. Even this will not entirely cure the trouble, but it will greatly lessen it. Thoroughly aired seasoned lumber would be better, but it can not always be obtained. Kiln drying is of doubtful utility in large pieces; if thoroughly done, it is likely to cause serious checking; if not thoroughly done, the shrinkage is not taken out, and ordinary lumber might as well be used. The expense of kiln drying large pieces would also be prohibitive in most cases. A certain amount of shrinkage and a few cracks in a frame building are probably inevitable. The method shown by Kidder for the support of an interior partition, in Figure 62, page 80, is one of the few mistakes in his Part II. Partitions weigh a good deal themselves, and often support floors above. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Building Construction The art of building has never been fully discussed from the engineer's standpoint, and it is not proposed herein to attempt such discussion, but there are a number of points resulting from practical experience which will be touched upon with a view to supplementing the course in Building Construction at the Engineer School. Every military engineer should be master of construction in all its forms. Probably the first really difficult structures erected by man had their origin in military requirements; so, military engineering may fairly claim to be the father of all construction.

Book Synopsis Lectures on Innovation in Building Technology by : M. Eekhout
Download or read book Lectures on Innovation in Building Technology written by M. Eekhout and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of articles written in recent years and used in lectures for students at the Faculty of Architecture at Delft and at Nottingham University. The lectures and articles are based on a mixture of innovations in academia and industry. They elucidate the relationship between architecture and building technology, as well as high technology, transfer of technology, innovative design, development and research in the Chair of Product Development at TU Delft. With his experience in both industry and academia, Eekhout’s goal is to bridge the gap between the two worlds and to stimulate them both, to prepare students to be inventive, innovative and daring enough to materialize their own dreams in practice. The lecture articles are based on the adventures and experiences in Mick Eekhout’s design & build experimental laboratory cum factory, which works on projects all over the world, and for many interesting clients. Eekhout was able to develop an innovative technical vocabulary for lightweight structures and claddings in architecture and encourages students to attempt the same.
