Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

314
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...

Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

456
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: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

219
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Masonry Loadbearing Walls01:16

Masonry Loadbearing Walls

259
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 Curtain Walls01:20

Masonry Curtain Walls

1.5K
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...

Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

329
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Area of Science:

  • Engineering
  • Disaster Risk Reduction
  • Social Science

Background:

  • U.S. natural hazard events in 2017 caused over $300 billion in damages, indicating insufficient current building performance targets.
  • Existing economic loss calculations exclude social disruption, displacement, and livelihood impacts.
  • The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was mandated to report on research needs for improved building performance against natural hazards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight social and economic considerations for an Immediate Occupancy Performance Objective (IOPO).
  • To emphasize the need for further research into the feasibility and impacts of IOPO.
  • To inform the technical development and community implementation of IOPO for better disaster outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of NIST SP 1224 report on research needs for multi-hazard building design.
  • Analysis of social and economic factors influencing building resilience.
  • Stakeholder-informed approach to identify research gaps.

Main Results:

  • Current building performance targets do not adequately mitigate natural hazard losses.
  • An Immediate Occupancy Performance Objective (IOPO) is proposed to preserve building and social functions post-event.
  • Significant research is needed on the social and economic feasibility and impacts of IOPO.

Conclusions:

  • Effective multi-hazard building design requires consideration of social and economic factors.
  • Prioritizing research on IOPO's social and economic aspects is crucial for successful community implementation.
  • Integrating IOPO principles can lead to enhanced resilience and reduced disaster consequences.
