Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Els efectes provocats per qualsevol tipus de desastre natural acaben sent devastadors, fins al punt d'inhabilitar ciutats senceres. En el cas dels terratrèmols, aquests són capaços de destruir qualsevol tipus d'infraestructura en qüestió de segons. El temor a no arribar als nivells de seguretat mínims ha donat motiu a millorar els nivells de disseny i el mètode de construcció de qualsevol tipus de construcció. Amb aquest Projecte es pretén analitzar la vulnerabilitat d'una estructura real de formigó armat. L'edifici en qüestió està situat a la ciutat de Barcelona, que encara que pertanyi a una zona amb un nivell sísmic baix, no es descarta que en un futur pugui sofrir un terratrèmol. A partir de l'aplicació de les diferents normatives que tracten sobre el disseny per sisme i de l'ús del programa d'anàlisi computacional ETABS, es vol estudiar què tipus de resposta tindria l'edifici en qüestió davant un moviment de la terra i quin seria el seu estat últim funcional.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les greus conseqüències que succeeixen tant en edificis com en infraestructures urbanes, es deuen a les grans accions o catàstrofes naturals devastadores que ocorren sense poder ser controlades i que fins fa relativament pocs anys no s'ha tingut prou en compte. Una d'aquestes catàstrofes naturals són els terratrèmols, que són fenòmens que ocorren pel trencament de plaques tectòniques, les quals es diuen falles. Els terratrèmols, també anomenats sismes es produeixen a certa profunditat de l'escorça terrestre, aquest punt es diu hipocentre. El mateix punt projectat en l'escorça terrestre s'anomena epicentre. Des del hipocentre es propaguen els diferents tipus d'ones que produeix el sisme i es van dissipant a mesura que avancen. Els sismes, com ja he comentat, són uns fenòmens que provoquen destrosses que ocasionen amb grans pèrdues econòmiques i amb la mort d'un nombre elevat de persones, generalment es troben relacionades amb el comportament poc adequat o insuficient de les estructures. I tot això per no prestar la suficient atenció a l'estudi sísmic estructural. Com que els terratrèmols tenen un paper prou important pel que fa a seguretat estructural, és digne de ser estudiat l'efecte que produeixen en els edificis.

Download or read book 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture written by The Getty Conservation Institute and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1991-02-28 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.

Download or read book Principles of Disaster Mitigation in Health Facilities written by and published by Pan American Health Org. This book was released on 2000 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on problems encountered in areas of high risk for seismic events. It introduces the essential aspects of carrying out vulnerability assessments and applying practical measures to mitigate damage in hospitals addressing structural and nonstructural aspects as well as administrative and internal organization. In a period of only 15 years between 1981 and 1996 93 hospitals and 538 health care centers in Latin America and the Caribbean were damaged as a consequence of natural disasters. The direct cost of these disasters has been enormous; just as devastating has been the social impact of the loss of these critical facilities at a time when they were most needed. For these reasons special consideration must be given to disaster planning for these facilities. Assessing and reducing their vulnerability to natural hazards is indispensable. Principles of Disaster Mitigation in Health Facilities is an updated compilation of various documents on the topic already published by PAHO/WHO. Sections of previous publications have been revised to address the needs of professionals from a variety of disciplines particularly those involved in health facility planning operation and maintenance. Figures and photographs illustrate situations that can increase disaster vulnerability in health facilities. Examples are given of how countries in Latin America have conducted vulnerability assessments and applied specific disaster mitigation measures in their hospitals and health centers.

Book excerpt: Berlin Free University is an imagination of what a building might be - a building designed to function as a piece of the city, adapting to the needs of its users while generating opportunities for social interaction. The university offers a window onto the politicized and optimistic discourse of the Sixties and Seventies, but at the same time illuminates contemporary debates around large projects of infrastructure and public space. This extensive study of the building combines texts with a visual survey containing specifically commissioned photographs as well as archive material, plans and construction details.

Download or read book Toward an Architecture of Enjoyment written by Henri Lefebvre and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward an Architecture of Enjoyment is the first publication in any language of the only book devoted to architecture by Henri Lefebvre. Written in 1973 but only recently discovered in a private archive, this work extends Lefebvre’s influential theory of urban space to the question of architecture. Taking the practices and perspective of habitation as his starting place, Lefebvre redefines architecture as a mode of imagination rather than a specialized process or a collection of monuments. He calls for an architecture of jouissance—of pleasure or enjoyment—centered on the body and its rhythms and based on the possibilities of the senses. Examining architectural examples from the Renaissance to the postwar period, Lefebvre investigates the bodily pleasures of moving in and around buildings and monuments, urban spaces, and gardens and landscapes. He argues that areas dedicated to enjoyment, sensuality, and desire are important sites for a society passing beyond industrial modernization. Lefebvre’s theories on space and urbanization fundamentally reshaped the way we understand cities. Toward an Architecture of Enjoyment promises a similar impact on how we think about, and live within, architecture.

Download or read book Koch Partner 1970 2000 written by Norbert Koch and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2000-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Koch + Partner recently made the headlines when they won the competition to design the new Terminal 2 at Munich Airport -- nevertheless the architectural community has long been aware of this office. Their architecture does not consist of singular, extravagant constructions but is characterised by buildings which harmonise with the townscape, expertly serving their purpose. Their forms are clear and calm, blending with the existing structures and simultaneously enhancing them. The present book documents the work of this interdisciplinary team over the previous three decades. The full range of their work is considered -- from extensive urban planning projects to the realisation of multi-storey buildings. It also reveal how a sense of team spirit and partnership can be used to the advantage of not only private and public clients but also the user.

Download or read book Ordinary Places Extraordinary Events written by Clara Irazábal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-01-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clara Irazábal and her contributors explore the urban history of some of Latin America’s great cities through studies of their public spaces and what has taken place there. The avenues and plazas of Mexico City, Havana, Santo Domingo, Caracas, Bogotaì, SaÞo Paulo, Lima, Santiago, and Buenos Aires have been the backdrop for extraordinary, history-making events. While some argue that public spaces are a prerequisite for the expression, representation and reinforcement of democracy, they can equally be used in the pursuit of totalitarianism. Indeed, public spaces, in both the past and present, have been the site for the contestation by ordinary people of various stances on democracy and citizenship. By exploring the use and meaning of public spaces in Latin American cities, this book sheds light on contemporary definitions of citizenship and democracy in the Americas.
