Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building01:26

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

491
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

434
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Design Example: Designing Water Slide

748
When designing a water slide, controlling the speed of water flow is crucial for rider safety while maintaining an exciting experience. As water flows down the slide, gravity causes it to accelerate, with its speed at the bottom depending on the height from which it starts. The higher the slide, the more potential energy the water has at the top, which is converted into kinetic energy as it descends, increasing its speed.
Bernoulli's principle determines the water's velocity along the slide....

Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

639
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key...

Design Example: Calculating Safe Diameter for Wind-Exposed Disc

406
Assessing safety in wind-exposed installations is crucial to preventing potential failures. This example explores the calculation and design adjustments needed to mount a circular disc on a building facade, where wind forces are a primary concern. A 4-meter diameter disc was initially designed as an aesthetic feature facing winds at a velocity of 25 meters per second, with an air density of 1.25 kilograms per cubic meter. Given these conditions, the drag force on the disc was determined using...

Design Example: Application of Archimedes' Principle01:11

Design Example: Application of Archimedes' Principle

985
Archimedes' principle is fundamental in analyzing the buoyant force and stability of floating bodies. In this example, a wooden block with a rectangular section floats in seawater. Based on the block's dimensions, its specific gravity and the specific weight of seawater are used to find the volume of water displaced and the center of buoyancy.
The volume of seawater displaced by the block is determined by first calculating the block's weight. This is done by multiplying the...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Environmental Design
  • Childhood Obesity Research

Background:

  • Childhood obesity is a national concern in the U.S., with schools identified as key environments for intervention.
  • Existing research links school environments to student physical activity, but lacks synthesized, practical guidance for designers.
  • A need exists for a resource to translate research findings into actionable school design strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop practical, evidence-based Physical Activity Design Guidelines for School Architecture.
  • To provide architects, designers, educators, and public health professionals with strategies to promote physical activity in K-12 schools.
  • To foster transdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and practitioners to improve school environments for physical activity.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative review process was employed to develop the design guidelines.
  • Guidelines were informed by evidence and theory to promote increased student physical activity.
  • Strategies were organized across 10 distinct school design domains.

Main Results:

  • The developed tool provides specific, actionable strategies for school design.
  • The guidelines aim to create school environments that encourage healthy physical activity behaviors.
  • The tool addresses the gap between research and practical application in environmental design.

Conclusions:

  • The Physical Activity Design Guidelines offer a practical resource for creating healthier school environments.
  • Implementation of these guidelines can support healthier physical activity behaviors in students.
  • This initiative may establish new standards in school architecture and educational practices.
