Book excerpt: A construction material that once was innovative and modern and then fell somewhat into disrepute through some of the quite radical post-war architecture, concrete is today very popular with planners and builders due to its multifaceted nature. The material offers enormous potential through its extensive load-bearing capacities but also due to the diversity of its properties and surface characteristics. In addition to the technical possibilities customarily attributed to concrete construction, the construction material is on the ascendant not least due to the current debate regarding energy efficiency and sustainability, since it seems tailor-made for the realization of the relevant requirements. It is not just the design and construction of concrete load-bearing structures that are the focus of this publication, but also the materiality and thus the haptic and sensuous side of the material in particular. That's because visible concrete in "smooth gray flawless" quality is not everything that concrete has to offer. Even designers and interior decorators develop furniture and space innovations of unimagined sensuality. The Modern Concrete Construction Manual provides the planner with well-founded expert information regarding the construction material of concrete, ranging from manufacturing to materiality to the design of concrete load-bearing structures, including current options for digital design and production processes. As a standard reference volume, the publication offers comprehensive and detailed insights regarding topics including cost-effectiveness, energy and sustainability, renovation, design and interior decoration. An extensive index of works with successful real-life examples provides inspiration and invites the reader to make modern use of a classical construction material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Construction Manuals from Edition Detail are among the most important reference works in the specialist literature. The latest volume shows the potential of the material concrete and documents comprehensively the technical principles of using concrete in construction. Chapters cover the history of the material, the properties of concrete, reinforced concrete, and prestressed concrete, the treatment of its surface. Also covered are the basic principles of statics for large and small structures, and the building requirements with respect to heat, damp, sound-proofing and fire protection according to the most recent norms and standards. Finally a large number of built examples are presented from illustrations of the complete structure down to detailed plans, showing the broad spectrum of applications for concrete in contemporary building. All plans have been specially produced by the editorial department Detail for this book and for ease of comparison, they have been drawn to the same scale.
Download or read book Recent Advances in Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface written by Jack Dongarra and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-10-28 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Themessagepassingparadigmisconsideredthemoste?ectivewaytodevelop- ?cient parallel applications. PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) and MPI (Message Passing Interface) are the most frequently used tools for programming message passing applications. This volume includes the selected contributions presented at the 10th - ropean PVM/MPI Users’ Group Meeting (Euro PVM/MPI 2003), which was held in Venice, Italy, September 29–October 2, 2003. The conference was jointly organized by the Department of Computer Science of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy and the Information Science and Technologies Institute of the National Research Council (ISTI-CNR), Pisa, Italy. TheconferencewaspreviouslyheldinLinz,Austria(2002),Santorini,Greece (2001), Balatonfured, ̈ Hungary (2000), Barcelona, Spain (1999), Liverpool, UK (1998), and Krakow, Poland (1997). The ?rst three conferences were devoted to PVM and were held in Munich, Germany (1996), Lyon, France (1995), and Rome, Italy (1994). The conference has become a forum for users and developers of PVM, MPI, and other message passing environments. Interactions between these groups has proved to be very useful for developing new ideas in parallel computing, and for applying some of those already existent to new practical ?elds. The main topics of the meeting were evaluation and performance of PVM and MPI, ext- sions, implementations and improvements of PVM and MPI, parallel algorithms using the message passing paradigm, and parallel applications in science and engineering. In addition, the topics of the conference were extended to include Grid computing, in order to re?ect the importance of this area for the hi- performance computing community.
Download or read book The Public Papers written by Louis Sullivan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1988-04-14 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together for the first time all the papers Louis Sullivan intended for a public audience, from his first interview in 1882 to his last essay in 1924. Organized chronologically, these speeches, interviews, essays, letters to editors, and committee reports enable readers to trace Sullivan's development from a brash young assistant to Dankmar Adler to an architectural elder statesman. Robert Twombly, an authority on Sullivan's work and life, has introduced each document with a headnote explaining its significance, locating it in time and place, and examining its immediate context. He has also provided a general introduction that analyzes Sullivan's writing style and objectives, his major philosophical themes, and the sources of his ideas. With the help of headnotes and introduction, readers will get a thorough sense of Sullivan's concerns, discover how his ideas evolved and changed, and appreciate the circumstances under which new interests emerged. This collection is a handy introduction to the full range of Sullivan's thinking, the book with which readers interested in the architect's writings should begin. As a companion volume to Robert Twombly's biography of Sullivan, it gives a comprehensive picture of one of America's most important architects and cultural figures.

Book excerpt: Beton - gestalten und konstruieren mit dem Baustoff der Zukunft Beton ist dank seiner nahezu beliebigen Formbarkeit, seiner konstruktiven Vielseitigkeit und einfachen Bautechnik der Baustoff der Gegenwart. Neben einer sorgfältigen gestalterischen und konstruktiven Planung sind Ausschreibung und Bauvertrag die Basis einer gelungenen Baudurchführung. Das Buch vermittelt das Grundverständnis zum Umgang mit dem Material mit besonderem Blick auf die Rolle des Architekten bei Planung und Bauleitung. Aktuelle Tendenzen in der Baustofftechnologie, die Entwicklung innovativer Betone werden dabei ebenso vorgestellt wie Erfahrungsberichte ausführender Architekten. Der Band erläutert darüber hinaus die Neufassung DBV/BDZ - Merkblatt "Sichtbeton".

Book excerpt: The architect team, led by Urs Burkard and Adrian Meyer, has existed in this form since 1998. A large number of buildings that show consistent care and experimental spirit have emerged from the Baden office. Among them are significant projects such as the Dienstleistungs- und Verwaltungszentrum (Service-and Administration Centre) in Winterthur (1999/2005), the AZ Medienhaus (Media Building) in Aarau (2005), or the cemetery building in Zug (2005) with its strong design. A further, surprising station in an increasingly concise and reduced oeuvre can be seen in the Berufsbildungszentrum (Professional Training Centre) Baden (2006). The main section of the 200-page volume provides a detailed presentation of ten more recent buildings. The volume is supplemented by a topical discussion between Andrea Deplazes and Adrian Meyer and a complete catalogue of works with picture credits. Text in English and German. 124 colour and 37 b/w illustrations
