Building Information Modeling

after many buildings were not ready for the seismic activity of this magnitude. After this event, many codes were to be passed and buildings had to be inspected and passed for structural safety. These codes have been built on for many years as technology improves and so does our understanding of seismic activity. An example of a code that was passed in California was that after the Loma Prieta earthquake that struck the Santa Cruz Mountains, analyzation of some of the cities buildings revealed…

promises was kept. The buildings were either built too fast and not safely, or took too long to be rebuilt. The end result of the effort to rebuild was a town that was just as unstable and unsafe as before. So, when the disaster hit in 2016 the town was not prepared by any means. In 2009 more then 300 people died. When the 2016 earthquake hit the numbers were no better, with more then 1000 people displaced and almost 250 people killed. After 2009 the construction of the buildings should have…

occupants health. Development and promotion of energy-saving technology are an important way for actually sustainable buildings. The question for sustainable buildings is that different climate, function, application mode and demands require different energy-saving technology.…

Looking at sculptures and paintings in person or in a museum rather than looking at them on a flat screen can drastically change the way you take in the artwork in many different ways.

When looking at an artwork in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, you get to observe details and witness different focal points that you would most likely miss looking at a computer. In…

architects and designers very creative and ambitious in building projects. The designs are becoming innovative and attractive. To achieve this, tremendous amount of weight placed was on materials leading to their inability to bear this significant weight. Consequently, to be able to achieve the structural design and strength engineers developed the truss. Trusses are web-shaped structures that are able to bear tremendous weight. They are used in buildings and bridges of all sizes. Trusses allow…

In 2014, three temporary workers lost their lives while carrying out engineering project work. These resulted from falls from height, one worker passed away in a traffic accident, and one member of the public died following an illegal break in at a disused Nestle factory.
