Masonry Curtain Walls01:20

Masonry Curtain Walls

2.5K
Masonry curtain walls employ brick or stone veneers supported by the building's structure to form an external cladding system that is both aesthetically appealing and functional. These walls are erected through two principal techniques, first by traditional layering of masonry units and second by using prefabricated panels. Traditional construction relies on steel shelf angles attached to the spandrel beam for support, with high-bond mortars ensuring secure attachment of masonry veneer...

Masonry Loadbearing Walls01:16

Masonry Loadbearing Walls

555
Masonry load-bearing walls, constructed from materials like brick, stone, or concrete masonry units, serve as a crucial component in building structures by supporting the loads from floors and roofs and transferring them to the foundation. These walls, known for their compressive strength, can be reinforced or unreinforced to suit different building needs, accommodating both the dead and live loads while maintaining safety through lower working stresses compared to the materials' ultimate...

Masonry Cavity Walls01:26

Masonry Cavity Walls

2.1K
Cavity walls feature a hollow space between the outer and inner wythes, connected only by corrosion-resistant metal ties. When water seeps through the outer wythe, it descends within this cavity, intercepted by flashing and eventually exiting through weep holes. To enhance moisture resistance, the inner wythe's cavity side often receives damp-proofing, doubling as an air barrier. The cavity can also house insulation to mitigate heat transfer.

Composite Masonry Walls01:18

Composite Masonry Walls

2.4K
Composite masonry walls combine multiple wythes of the same or different masonry materials to create a unified structure. These walls feature wythes that are bonded together either through mortar-filled collar joints, grouted spaces, or more commonly, with rigid metal ties and reinforcements, with the use of masonry header units being rare. Metal ties are preferred because they effectively minimize water penetration, as these walls primarily absorb moisture and then release it into the...

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: 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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The meaningful use incentive program for electronic health records (EHRs) impacted hospitals and vendors differently, sometimes limiting innovation. Policymakers must ensure future EHR program stages support all facilities and system-wide changes.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Health Information Technology
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • Federal incentive payments for meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs) commenced in 2011.
  • The study examines the impact of this program on hospitals and EHR vendors.
  • It specifically investigates whether EHR requirements are viewed as a minimum standard (floor) or a maximum limit (ceiling) for development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of the meaningful use program on EHR planning and development.
  • To determine if EHR vendors and hospital Chief Information Officers (CIOs) perceive meaningful use requirements as a floor or a ceiling.
  • To identify how these perceptions influence EHR adoption and innovation.

Main Methods:

  • Combines qualitative interviews with EHR vendors and hospital CIOs.
  • Utilizes quantitative EHR adoption data from American Hospital Association surveys.
  • Compares the adoption of specific EHR functions (BCMA and CPOE) influenced by incentive program stages.

Main Results:

  • Meaningful use requirements can function as either a floor or a ceiling, contingent on institutional capabilities.
  • An overemphasis on meeting discrete EHR requirements may hinder broader healthcare system transformation.
  • The incentive program accelerated development of some EHR functions while impeding others.

Conclusions:

  • Subsequent stages of the EHR incentive program should be designed to include smaller facilities.
  • Future policy should prioritize features essential for comprehensive healthcare system change.
  • Consideration must be given to avoiding the exclusion of smaller institutions and critical system-wide advancements.
