Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

369
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: Sustainability in Concrete Building

246
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...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.2K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Design Example: Designing Water Slide01:18

Design Example: Designing Water Slide

347
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...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Design
  • Patient Experience
  • Environmental Psychology

Background:

  • Hospital outdoor spaces are integral to healthcare facility design.
  • Evidence suggests green spaces in hospitals promote healing.
  • User perspectives on outdoor space impact are under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore user perspectives on hospital outdoor spaces.
  • To understand the impact on patient experience in post-acute care.
  • To identify design and programming elements influencing healing.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-structured interviews with users (patients, family, staff).
  • Study conducted as part of a hospital pre-occupancy evaluation.
  • Data analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

Main Results:

  • 74 individuals participated (inpatients, outpatients, family, staff, volunteer).
  • Theme 1: Outdoor spaces aid healing by shifting focus from illness.
  • Theme 2: Healthcare space design influences access to beneficial outdoor areas.
  • Theme 3: Outdoor programming supports healing and recovery.

Conclusions:

  • User perspectives highlight the value of hospital outdoor spaces.
  • Design elements are key to positively influencing the patient experience.
  • Outdoor spaces contribute significantly to healing and recovery in post-acute settings.
