Book excerpt: Rooftops have become the symbol of a new lifestyle - an extension and exclusive enjoyment of an area traditionally unused: the architectural crown of a building has been transformed into a new area for work or living. Architects, designers and town planners have seen in this final section of a building their last chance to let their fantasies run free and to dramatically shape the cities' skylines with extensions, attics and unique tops. This volume delivers a very close insight in the divers possibilities of the roof design of residential, corporative and other buildings.
Download or read book Design and Analysis of Timber Lamella Segmental Arches written by Glenn Frazee and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lamella roof offers a unique architectural feature in its interwoven network of timbers. As a roof system, the stiffness created by the interlocking members results in a curved roof that uses less material than a traditional rafter and purlin design. The goal of this paper is for the reader to be able to create a preliminary design of a lamella roof that will be strong enough to withstand the loads stipulated by the most current ASCE 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. This design is facilitated by load tables developed by the author using the finite element method and connection tables in compliance with the National Design Specification for Wood Construction 2005 Edition using the Allowable Stress Design (ASD) procedure. In reality, the values used for this preliminary design will give a conservative design that could most likely be lightened with a more in-depth structural analysis. Testing on a steel lamella model shows inconclusive results when compared to those predicted by the load table program developed by the author and should be investigated further.

Download or read book Green Roof A Case Study written by Christian Werthmann and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2007-08-30 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green roofs are the great green hope of many environmentalists, politicians, and architects interested in more efficient and environmentally aware buildings. From a design standpoint, however, there is less consensus. While some see the roof garden as a visual statement using plants, geometric lines, and sculptural elements, others believe concerns for sustainability should outweigh visual appeal. A green roof that combines aesthetics and mechanics has become the goal of many a landscape architect. In Green Roof Gardens, author Christian Werthmann explains the history, methodology, and design process of green roof garden construction, providing a rich source of inspiration and technical knowledge in the process for anybody interested in this simple solution to many of the environmental challenges we face today.
Download or read book Greenhouse Design and Control written by Pedro Ponce and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural production is one of the main keys to the development of healthy societies. It is anticipated that agricultural systems will increasingly have to contend with temperature, humidity and water stress in the near future. This makes the need to increase the efficiency of land and water use ever more urgent. The control and design of greenhouses allows to increase dramatically the quality of crops and extend the cultivation period year-round. A properly designed autonomous greenhouse based on hydroponics can greatly reduce the amounts of nutrients and energy expended in agricultural production. This book deals with different types of greenhouses, materials, structures, advanced control techniques and tendencies that are needed for designing and controlling an advanced greenhouse. The control system is presented as an integral system which covers the explanation of basic and advanced concepts for a real time controller. Also, structural analysis is introduced, whereby mechanical design is regarded as a key factor. The book incorporates simulations and experimental results, and utilizes LabVIEW and ADAMS software. Finally, it provides a perspective on the present state and future of greenhouses globally. Written in a highly accessible manner, this book will prove useful to horticulturalists, agricultural engineers, greenhouse engineers and designers. Its easy-to-absorb contents are also suitable for (under)graduate students and researchers in agricultural and electronic engineering, horticulture, crop cultivation and soft computing.
