Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

164
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 Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

42
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...

Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

185
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: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

47
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Schemas

11.6K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Design Example: Maintaining Level of an Embankment

61
Constructing a roadway embankment over uneven terrain requires precise leveling to ensure stability and proper drainage. Surveyors use a leveling instrument and staff to calculate ground elevations and determine the required fill material at each point along the embankment alignment.The process begins by positioning a leveling instrument near a benchmark with a known elevation. A backsight reading establishes the instrument height, which serves as a reference for subsequent measurements. A...

Area of Science:

  • Urban Ecology
  • Environmental Design
  • Conservation Biology

Background:

  • Urbanization threatens biodiversity and human connection to nature.
  • Current urban greening strategies are insufficient for daily nature experiences and nonhuman support.
  • A fundamental shift in urban planning is needed to integrate nature effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new framework for incorporating 'everyday nature' into urban design.
  • To highlight principles and processes for successful nature integration in cities.
  • To address challenges and research needs for enhancing urban resilience through nature.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual framework development based on ecological and design principles.
  • Analysis of existing urban greening limitations and potential conflicts.
  • Identification of key stakeholder engagement and socioeconomic factors.

Main Results:

  • Reconceptualizing nature as a development opportunity, not a constraint.
  • Eliminating biodiversity offsetting and adopting biodiversity-sensitive design.
  • Establishing interdisciplinary collaboration among ecologists, planners, and designers.

Conclusions:

  • Urban design must prioritize daily nature experiences that benefit both people and nonhuman organisms.
  • Overcoming design, conflict management, and socioeconomic challenges is vital for successful implementation.
  • Further research and experimental interventions are needed to support resilient urban environments.
