Building material

warm harder than wood or some other material. This provides them to have less warm homes. Another example is from Japan; in Japan, they have 1000 earthquakes per year. These natural disasters pushed the government to make few strict laws about engineering and architecture. According to a scientific view, as reported in Milliyet Newspaper, Japanese architects design flexible tall buildings. This avoids the building to collapse or break. And also for short buildings they invented a system. This…

environmental impact of on-site construction. This research presents a creative, sustainable construction approach through an assembly system for eco-friendly materials. Wood is a natural material that is vastly available and easily reproduced in temperate climate zones. Wooden structures offer the opportunity to provide sustainable building through their eco-friendly features and life cycle recycling. Wood has a very positive carbon footprint, and heavy timber structures postpone releasing…

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.…

sustainable design and green building has become to a very urgent issue to protect the environment. Utilizing the materials which are less harmful to the environment is identified as one of the most important factors to improve sustainability. Using prefabricated components in construction projects is not only environmentally friendly , but also provide better quality and aesthetic for construction. The aim of this paper is to verify the feature of prefabricated building components and identify…

Modern day building construction has progressed over centuries with the incorporation of new construction methods. This includes the various building types, designs of structures, and the application of building and fire codes. The effect of building construction has changed how firefighting operations are conducted, the hazards associated with building types, and the effects of fire on each type. The potential for building collapse remains a safety issue for firefighters and situation awareness…

I grow up. People in the architecture and construction job is to create, build, and maintain, buildings, houses, and other structures. A construction manager would plan and decide when the building needs maintenance. They also see how smoothly everything in going on building a building. They would look out to see if there is anything to make the operation go along faster. They would inspect the building to see if they're up to spects. These are some of the tasks and duties of…

plants. Some apartments have a bush that adorns their lawns, each a different variety, while others simply have a grassy yard. However, this absence of standardization in plants presents a welcome sight when contrasted against the buildings themselves. These buildings all possess identical architecture. For instance, every owner has a front and back porch that provide a slightly elevated view of the landscape. In addition, no tree grows within this group of condominiums. The potential danger of…

importance of the compression test due to the knowledge gained in Construction Materials and Methods II. The project team was discussing ways to remedy the issue of the failed concrete test. My superintendent mentioned a Schmidt hammer test. He told me that this is a test performed on cured concrete is able to measure the psi of the concrete. The test utilizes a special tool that measures the rebound of the material. If we were to perform this test on the job, it would tell us what the current…

Space is arguably one of the most important and powerful elements of architecture. Before architecture was the building and making of buildings, now in more recent times architecture is also considered the study and interpretation of space. In terms of architecture space is not empty. It has the potential to become a place where people interact and go about their daily lives. Space utilizes many modifying elements for an architectural reason to enhance the experience of occupying a certain space…

the structure of the roofing that was usually covered with tile. In domestic architecture, dwellings, shops, and other buildings, construction was much simpler. The use of the different elements of architecture in these ancient civilizations has improved greatly over time. Some tactics were more difficult than others. Architecture is the art of designing and creating buildings. Greek architecture is a very specific and influential type of design, which was based off of the post-and-lintel…
