PROJEKTOWANIE PODŁÓG PRZEMYSŁOWYCH

This book provides an in-depth study of the design and construction processes behind 25 leading contemporary buildings. Covering a broad range of international projects, the book illustrates the working methods and creative concerns of both long-established and emerging international architects. Every stage of each project is included, from the demands of the original brief, through early sketches and design development to investigation of building regulations and collaboration with engineers, contractors, builders and clients. Each project is presented through an explanatory overview, sketches, details, CAD renderings, models and construction shots, all captioned in great technical detail.

Since streets become increasingly crowded, living on the top of a buildingpromises privacy and distance. Rooftops have become the symbol of a newlifestyle - an extension and exclusive enjoyment of an area traditionallyunused: the architectural crown of a building has been transformed into anew area for work or living. Architects, designers and town planners haveseen in this final section of a building their last chance to let theirfantasies run free and to dramatically shape the cities' skylines withextensions, attics and unique tops.

Competitions are among the most exciting occurrences in the field of architecture. It provides designers unique opportunities to pitch their work across the globe. This title features entries of different typologies for various individual competitions as well as today’s main contemporary architectural competitions. For these, like the planning for the grounds of the World Trade Center in New York, the most significant contributions are presented. Competition entries are the original architectural concepts, which usually on the way to becoming completed buildings are subject to many changes and compromises – and sometimes are not built at all.

W niniejszej publikacji ukazano podstawy fizykochemiczne oddziaływania pyłu krzemionkowego/nanokrzemionki w procesie wiązania/twardnienia cementu, jak również wpływ drobno zdyspergowanych materiałów krzemionkowych na kształtowanie właściwości betonu, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zagadnień dotyczących trwałości. Czytelnik ma możliwość poznać procesy prowadzące do wytwarzania krzemostopów, w których mikrokrzemionka jest generowana jako produkt uboczny oraz dane dotyczące dodatków i domieszek krzemionkowych pochodzących z różnych źródeł.

The amazing story of the prefabricated house A prefab is a mass-produced house, constructed in a factory and assembled on–site in a few days or weeks. Once regarded as a cheap, easy solution for urgent housing problems, the prefab has evolved to become a synonym for ambitious design and sophisticated detailing solutions. The amazing history of prefabricated houses started in England in the 1830’s with a building kit for emigrants moving to Australia. Even today, prefabricated houses provide a high percentage of living spaces in many countries of the world.

Architecture outside the box Designing the great outdoors One of the hottest areas of contemporary design is landscape architecture. No matter what the architectural style of the moment, the green areas around houses, stadiums or corporate headquarters have taken on a considerable importance, all the more so with the emphasis on ecology and green design. This book calls on the work of the top designers of the moment, from Ken Smith, author of the Museum of Modern Art’s rooftop garden, to West 8 from Rotterdam, but also on architects ranging from Steven Holl to Tadao Ando, who have long been fascinated by the environments of their buildings.

W książce kompleksowo przedstawiono zagadnienia kształtowania, obliczania i konstruowania hal stalowych. W usystematyzowany sposób podano wiadomości teoretyczne i zalecenia praktyczne dotyczące projektowania tego typu budowli według PN-90/B-03200 i Eurokodu 3, z uwzględnieniem wyników najnowszych badań światowych i doświadczeń własnych autora. Zaprezentowano współcześnie stosowane wyroby i materiały do budowy hal stalowych oraz zamieszczono przykłady rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych obiektów halowych. W pracy wiele miejsca poświęcono wyjaśnieniu funkcji statyczno-wytrzymałościowej elementów składowych konstrukcji nośnych hal stalowych oraz podstawom identyfikacji modeli fizycznych i obliczeniowych przy projektowaniu z wykorzystaniem technik komputerowych.
