Por esta razón fundamental, el buen funcionamiento de un edificio, requiere, entre otras cosas, que la estructura sea, al menos, estable. El proyecto y ejecución de las estructuras constituye una de las áreas de mayor importancia en el sector de la construcción, no tanto por su repercusión económica, que en el ámbito de la edificación suele estar por debajo de otras partidas (instalaciones, acabados, etc.), sino por esta función intrínseca de la estructura. Con demasiada frecuencia se tiende a obviar el diseño estructural, se diseña el edificio atendiendo a otros criterios y posteriormente se aborda el problema estructural, se intenta "encajar" la estructura. Esta forma de trabajar, suele incidir negativamente, tanto en el diseño de la estructura (y por tanto en su óptimo funcionamiento) como en el coste económico y ambiental de la misma. Este trabajo se enmarca en una situación similar a la anteriormente expuesta. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es elaborar el proyecto de la estructura de un edificio destinado a residencia y centro de día para mayores. Para ello se parte de los planos de un proyecto básico y de un estudio geotécnico. Al tratarse de un trabajo académico, además de la presentación de una solución completa para la construcción de la estructura, se muestran también las alternativas existentes y la justificación de las principales elecciones realizadas para llevar a cabo el diseño y cálculo definitivos. Se ha llevado a cabo una primera fase de lectura y comprensión de la documentación disponible del edificio objeto de proyecto. Seguidamente se han estudiado las posibles tipologías estructurales disponibles, así como los materiales adecuados para la función resistente. Durante esta fase, se han valorado las distintas alternativas para la ubicación de soportes, y las alternativas de estructura horizontal. Una vez definido el sistema estructural se ha realizado el predimensionado de los elementos de la estructura. Para llevar a cabo el cálculo definitivo de la estructura, se ha empleado el programa informático comercial de cálculo de estructuras Tricalc, desarrollado por la empresa Arktec, en su versión 7.4. Dentro del contenido de este trabajo, también se encuentran las mediciones, el presupuesto y un análisis del coste energético de la estructura. Igualmente se incluyen en anexos, diversos datos referentes al cálculo de la estructura. Por último, en las conclusiones se analiza la metodología de trabajo, los resultados obtenidos y las posibles mejoras a introducir en el proceso, así como la utilidad del programa informático, con sus virtudes y defectos.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises written by Dr. Cecilia Menjívar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises is to deconstruct, question, and redefine through a critical lens what is commonly understood as "migration crises." The volume covers a wide range of historical, economic, social, political, and environmental conditions that generate migration crises around the globe. At the same time, it illuminates how the media and public officials play a major role in framing migratory flows as crises. The volume brings together an exceptional group of scholars from around the world to critically examine migration crises and to revisit the notion of crisis through the context in which permanent and non-permanent migration flows occur. The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises offers an understanding of individuals in societies, socio-economic structures, and group processes. Focusing on migrants' departures and arrivals in all continents, this comprehensive handbook explores the social dynamics of migration crises, with an emphasis on factors that propel these flows as well as the actors that play a role in classifying them and in addressing them. The volume is organized into nine sections. The first section provides a historical overview of the link between migration and crises. The second looks at how migration crises are constructed, while the third section contextualizes the causes and effects of protracted conflicts in producing crises. The fourth focuses on the role of climate and the environment in generating migration crises, while the fifth section examines these migratory flows in migration corridors and transit countries. The sixth section looks at policy responses to migratory flows, The last three sections look at the role media and visual culture, gender, and immigrant incorporation play in migration crises.

Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Download or read book The Informal Economy written by Alejandro Portes and published by . This book was released on 1989-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York roofer requests payment in cash. A Bogota car mechanic sets up "shop" on a quiet side street. Four Mexican immigrants assemble semiconductors in a San Diego home. A Leningrad doctor sells needed medicine to a desperate patient. All are part of a growing worldwide phenomenon that is widely known but little understood. The informal or underground economy is thriving today, not only in the Third World countries where it was first reported and studied but also in Eastern Europe and the developed nations of the West. The Informal Economy is the first book to bring together studies from all three of these settings and to integrate them into a coherent theoretical framework. Taking an international perspective, the authors dispel a number of misconceptions about the informal economy. They make clear, for instance, that it is not solely a province of the poor. Cutting across social strata, it reflects a political and economic realignment between employers and workers and a shift in the regulatory mission of the government. Throughout, the authors' theoretical observations serve not only to unify material from diverse sources but also to map out directions for further research.
