Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

113
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

161
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: Joints in Concrete Pavements

180
Concrete pavement joints are essential for maintaining the structural integrity and longevity of pavement by controlling where and how the pavement cracks. These joints can be categorized based on their functions, such as contraction or control joints, construction joints, isolation joints, and expansion joints.
Contraction joints are typically formed by sawing a groove into the concrete shortly after it has hardened. This creates a weakened vertical plane, deliberately encouraging cracking at...

Design Example: Maintaining Level of an Embankment

56
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 Planning
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Growing sedentary habits among students pose health risks.
  • Limited research systematically quantifies the impact of campus built environments (CBE) on walking activity.
  • Understanding the link between CBE and pedestrian volume (PV) is crucial for promoting healthier lifestyles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically measure CBE variables and their association with pedestrian volume (PV) on Chinese university campuses.
  • To identify specific CBE features that encourage or discourage walking.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for designing healthier and more walkable campuses.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a mixed-methods approach combining comprehensive questionnaires, detailed field audits, and Geographic Information System (GIS) data.
  • Collected data across 892 street segments on eight university campuses in Tianjin, China.
  • Employed negative binomial regression models, excluding spatial autocorrelations, to analyze the relationship between CBE and PV.

Main Results:

  • Campus Walk Score, the ratio of facility and residential land, campus design qualities, sidewalk conditions, and street amenities were all positively associated with higher pedestrian volume (PV).
  • Specific streetscape features were identified as significant predictors of walking activity.
  • The findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach to campus design.

Conclusions:

  • Campus built environments play a critical role in influencing pedestrian activity.
  • Designing campuses with enhanced Walk Scores, mixed land use, improved design qualities, better sidewalks, and more street amenities can significantly increase pedestrian volume.
  • These findings offer valuable insights for urban planners and researchers aiming to create pedestrian-friendly, sustainable, and healthy campus environments.
