Book excerpt: Dieses illustrierte Bautypenbuch in 5 europäischen Sprachen sammelt 170 Bauweisen. Sie behandeln das Bauen mit Pflanzen. Dazu gehören die Vorarbeiten, bevor die Pflanzen überhaupt eingesetzt werden und wirken können. Es folgen die Arbeiten, bei denen die Pflanzen alleine die technische, ökologische und ästhetische Wirkung übernehmen. Das grösste Kapitel 7 enthält alle Bauweisen, die in Kombination von lebenden mit nicht lebenden Baustoffen die Bauwerke sichern können. Die nachhaltige Wirkung der ingenieurbiologischen Bauweisen wird durch das Kapitel Pflege gewährleistet. Das Bautypenbuch dient zur fachlichen Verständigung und zur europäischen Normierung. Ce manuel illustré rassemble 170 méthodes de construction, en 5 langues européennes, utilisant des éléments naturels comme matériaux de construction. Il contient les travaux préparatoires nécessaires à réaliser, afin que les plantes puissent agir efficacement, ainsi que les travaux permettant aux plantes seules de prendre en charge les fonctions techniques, écologiques et esthétiques. Le chapitre 7, le plus long, contient des méthodes stabilisant les ouvrages de construction en combinant des matériaux de construction vivants et non-vivants. La durabililité des constructions fait l’objet du chapitre consacré à l’entretien. Le manuel sert à l'information professionelle et à l'harmonisation des normes européennes. Questo "Quaderno delle opere tipo" illustrato in 5 lingue europee raccoglie 170 tipologie costruttive. Trattano la costruzione con piante come materiale da costruzione. A queste appartengono i lavori preparatori, prima che le piante vengano impiegate e possano esercitare la loro funzione. Seguono i lavori nei quali le piante da sole subentrano nella funzione tecnica ed ecologica. Il più corposo capitolo 7 contiene le tipologie che in combinazione tra materiali costruttivi vivi e non possono garantire l’efficienza dell’opera. Il perdurare dell’efficacia delle tipologie costruttive di ingegneria naturalistica viene preso in considerazione nel capitolo manutenzioni. Il Quaderno delle opere tipo è strumento per la comprensione tecnica e per la normazione a livello europeo. This illustrated Construction Type Manual in 5 European languages compiles 170 construction methods describing techniques which use plants as building materials. This includes preparations necessary before they can be planted and become effective. This is followed by work which allows the plants alone to take over technical, ecological and aesthetic functions. Chapter 7, which is the largest one, contains methods of stabili-zing structures by combining living with non-living materials. The sustainability of soil bioengineering measures is safeguarded by maintenance to which a separate chapter is dedicated. The Construction Type Manual serves to foster understanding among experts and to harmonize European norms.

Download or read book Glosario Del Banco Mundial written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.
