Structural insulated panels SIPs The principal of sustainable building based on efficiency. The concepts of efficiency are paramount to the understanding the practice of building and the application of choosing framing types based on the most desirable outcomes. Regardless of the external environment the practice of building revolves around the acceptability of the interior environment of the building to the occupants and objects therein contained. The pursuit of constructing energy efficient buildings

deformation (strain) in a truss member‚ determine the modulus of elasticity of the material involved and the stiffness of the rigid body. 3. THEORY As shown in figure one‚ the system consists of a truss member BG and a rigid body OB‚ which are joined together at their ends. The system has pin-joints at O‚ B and G. The member OB is very rigid when compared with BG. Therefore‚ any deformation in OB is neglected and OB is treated as a rigid body. Figure 1 Experiment setup Each truss member acts as a

can be used to maintain support throughout the span. Materials used are usually concrete and steel. Truss Bridge The "Truss Bridge" is similar to a beam bridge except much stronger. These bridges use a pattern of geometrical shapes (triangles) called trusses. These trusses are very rigid (they don’t move when pushed) and‚ thus‚ make the bridge very STONG! Because of their strength‚ truss bridges are often used for railway bridges as they must be able to support the great mass and the vibrations

Finite Element Analysis Introduction Finite element analysis (FEA) has become commonplace in recent years‚ and is now the basis of a multibillion dollar per year industry. Numerical solutions to even very complicated stress problems can now be obtained routinely using FEA‚ and the method is so important that even introductory treatments of Mechanics of Materials – such as these modules – should outline its principal features. In spite of the great power of FEA‚ the disadvantages of computer

THE BASIS OF THE GOTHIC STYLE Tom Bender * March 26‚ 1964 Top Award Winner – 1964 National Architectural History Student Competition A building is more than an assemblage of materials to provide a shelter for man. It is an expression of the society that created it‚ its forms shaped by the outlook‚ values‚ orientation and maturity of the society‚ and reflecting the nature‚ strengths and weaknesses of the various aspects of the society. It in turn shapes and directs the society in its role as

September 8‚ 2010 Journal Entry 1 In Eats‚ Shoots & Leaves‚ Lynne Truss is a highly determined stickler or‚ perfectionist‚ when it comes to punctuation. In the novel‚ she argues that everyday punctuation marks‚ such as the apostrophe‚ are being misused and humiliated in front of thousands of people. They helplessly droop in between the wrong letters on hundreds of grocer signs‚ articles‚ and even in newspapers. Lynne Truss makes a clear point as she works her way through despair‚ anger‚ humor

1. ANNOTATION A 2D‚ view-specific element that you use to document a building or design. For example‚ symbols‚ tags‚ keynotes‚ and dimensions are annotations (also referred to as annotation elements). Annotation elements are always displayed at the same paper size regardless of view scale. 2. ARCHICAD A CAD software from the company GraphiSoft and is similar with Revit. 3.

required to carry such heavy loads‚ engineers use trusses‚ to help distribute the weight. Trusses are generally made up of triangular or vertical shapes. These triangular or vertical shapes are very effective because a truss has the ability to dissipate a load through the truss work. A truss has the ability to transfer the load from on single point to a more spread out area. The longest beam bridge is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana. This bridge spans 24 miles‚ making it the longest bridge
