  • Demolition and Cleanup
    FactSheet Demolition and Cleanup Before starting a demolition, the person or persons in charge must adequately prepare for the task with regard to the health and safety of the workers. These preparatory operations involve the overall planning of the demolition job, includ- ing the methods to be used to bring the structure down, the equipment neces- sary to do the job, and the measures to be taken to perform the work safely. Before doing demolition work, inspect available personal protective equipment (PPE), and select, wear and use the PPE appropriate for the task. Demolition work involves many of the same hazards associated with construc- tion work. However, demolition also poses additional hazards due to unknown factors such as: deviations from the structure's original design, approved or unapproved modifications that altered the original design, materials hidden with- in structural members, and unknown strengths or weaknesses of damaged mate- rials. To counter these unknowns, all personnel involved in a demolition project need to be fully aware of these types of hazards and the safety precautions avail- able to control these hazards.

  • Scales Types of Scales Civil Engineering Scale
    Scales • The purpose of scales is to allow an engineer, architect, technician or contractor to determine scaled measurements from drawings or maps very quickly and easily. • Drawings and maps are drawn to different scales such as: 1” = 100’, 1” = 1’-0” or 1:2 (half size). Types of Scales Civil Engineering Scale 1 Architect’s Scale Metric Scale 2 Civil Engineer’s Scale • Full Divided Scale • 1” is divided into equal decimal units of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80 divisions. • For example, 1” = 100’ is a typical scale used for Civil Engineering Drawings. This means that 1” on the drawing represents 100’ in the real world. Scale & Size • 10 scale represents full size in decimal inches. 1” on paper represents 1” in real life. Hence the name “full size”. • 20 scale represents half scale where 1” on a drawing represents 2” in real life. • 40 scale represents quarter size where 1” on a drawing represents 4” in real life. 3 Applications • Civil Engineers typically design large things such as, bridges, roads, buildings, shopping centers etc. Therefore typical scales used include: 1” = 100’ for plan views of highway designs and 1” = 5’ vertical and 1” = 100’ horizontal for profile views. Section views are typically 1” = 5’ vertical and 1” = 10’ horizontal. Other Applications • Sometimes scales are used to compute quantities based on a graphical analysis. When this is the case units of measurement other than length are often used. Examples include: • 1” = 10 kips, 1” = 2000 volts, 1” = 50 buses, 1” = 20 GHz and 1” = 40 people. • Always remember that your answer will be recorded in a decimal format for the CE scale.

  • Design Piracy: the Extensive Impact of a Fashion Knockoff
    On the Monetary Impact of Fashion Design Piracy Gil Appel Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California [email protected] Barak Libai Arison School of Business, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya [email protected] Eitan Muller Stern School of Business, New York University Arison School of Business, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya [email protected] July 2017 The authors would like to thank Roland Rust, Senior Editor and reviewers, On Amir, Michael Haenlein, Liraz Lasry, Irit Nitzan, Raphael Thomadsen, the participants of the Marketing Science and EMAC conferences and the participants of the seminars of the business schools at University of California at Davis, the University of California at San Diego, and Stanford University for a number of helpful comments and suggestions. On the Monetary Impact of Fashion Design Piracy Abstract Whether to legally protect original fashion designs against design piracy (“knockoffs”) is an ongoing debate among legislators, industry groups, and legal academic circles, yet to-date this discussion has not utilized marketing knowledge and formal approaches. We combine data collected on the growth of fashion items, price markups, and industry statistics, to create a formal analysis of the essential questions in the base of the debate. We distinguish between three effects: Acceleration, whereby the presence of a pirated design increases the awareness of the design, and thus might have a positive effect on the growth of the original; Substitution, which represents the loss of sales due to consumers who would have purchased the original design, yet instead buy the knockoff; and the loss due to Overexposure of the design that follows the loss of uniqueness due to the design becoming too popular, causing some consumer not to adopt the design or stop using it.

  • Interior Architectural Design for Adaptive Reuse in Application of Environmental Sustainability Principles
    sustainability Concept Paper Interior Architectural Design for Adaptive Reuse in Application of Environmental Sustainability Principles Magdalena Celadyn Faculty of Interior Design, Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, pl. Matejki 13, 31-157 Krakow, Poland; [email protected] Received: 3 June 2019; Accepted: 10 July 2019; Published: 12 July 2019 Abstract: The paper discusses an interior architectural design model to enable the accomplishment of sustainable design strategy of efficient resources/waste management. The proposed design concept, referred to as interior architectural design for adaptive reuse, is based on the reintroduction of reclaimed or salvaged building construction materials and products acquired from demolished or refurbished building structural portions, into the structure of interior components. The presented design approach puts circular design methods and techniques in interior design practice at the core of environmentally responsible architectural design. To achieve its objectives, the implementation of resources efficiency strategy into the interior design scheme should remain a decisive interior design quality criterion. Meanwhile, the issues related to the environmental contextualization of interior spaces and their constitutive components, in fulfilment of sustainable design requirements for the conservation of natural resources, are neither sufficiently recognized by interior designers, nor appropriately highlighted in the current design practice. The main purpose of this concept paper is to develop a theoretical scheme for systemic inclusion of interior architectural design for adaptive reuse into the environmentally sustainable interior architectural design framework. This study provides interior designers with the concept of interior components design for the fulfilment of resources efficiency and waste management effectiveness. Keywords: sustainable architectural design; sustainable interior design; interior components; adaptive reuse; environmental contextualization 1.

  • Change Orders Ordeal: the Output of Project Disintegration
    International Journal of Business, Humanities and Technology Vol. 2 No. 1; January 2012 Change Orders Ordeal: The Output of Project Disintegration Roberto Soares, Ph.D., D.Sc., AIC, PE Assistant Professor College of Computing, Engineering and Construction University of North Florida Jacksonville, Florida United States of America Abstract Change orders are one of the most controversial issues in construction contracts and require successful negotiations to avoid claims and possible litigation. Contractors, owners and architects behave differently when dealing with change orders. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that change orders are the natural result of the disintegration of design and construction, which started in the US in 1893 with a Congressional Act formally separating the design and construction phases of a capital project .Delivery methods such as Design-Build (DB) and Construction Management at Risk (CMR), which are designed to mend the missing integration of design and construction and, consequently, eliminate the existence of change order conflict are proposed to recover the level of integration that existed at the time of the master builder. Key words: change orders, project integration, design-build, delivery methods 1. Introduction Change orders in construction are one of the most controversial issues to manage and a challenge to project management to satisfactorily resolve any change in order to avoid claims. Any construction contract is signed under the principle of “good faith,” which means that the parties will trust each other to perform according to the contract and that the contract is fair with no intention of taking advantage of the parties during the life of the contract.

  • 1 CLOTHING and ARCHITECTURE: More in Common
    CLOTHING AND ARCHITECTURE: more in common Han Xu 20107500 1 Clothing and buildings are becoming even more alike. Both have typically served the bodies that inhabit them by maintaining environmental control and by presenting a codified exterior to the world. But now there are new kinds of physical resemblances between architecture and clothing. Various kinds of textiles and weaves are now being exploited in landscape and building design. Vast landscapes are shaped by geotexiles while building structures and envelopes exploit tensile, textile strategies, enabled by new lighter and more flexible materials and by the assistance of digital simulations. As well as becoming lighter, buildings are also becoming increasingly more temporary. The lifespans of buildings are ever shorter as their inhabitants become more transient, moving frequently from city to city. Evidence of this nomadic lifestyle can be found in fashion. Clothing, the portable envelope worn on the body, now provides some of the functions formerly associated with architecture. Designers are exploring the possibilities of integrated lights in clothes, pockets to carry portable electronic devices as well as soft electronic devices that are embedded in technical fabrics. Through other technological advances in textiles, specialized suits offer climatic control in very extreme environments. Yet other designers are integrating structure into clothing or even reviving the primitive model of a portable textile shelter. Many designers switch between fashion and architecture. Even the manufacturing processes for clothing and architecture can now be very much alike as new, highly sophisticated weaving robots automize the manufacturing process for articles of fashion or for components of buildings. In Gottfried Semper’s 1860 Style in the Technical and Tectonic Arts, we find a creation myth for today’s textile buildings and architectural suits.

  • Architectural Models
    C HAPTER 1 3 Architectural Models This chapter describes the architectural models that can be appHed to GMPLS networks. These architectures are not only useful for driving the ways in which networking equipment is deployed, but they are equally important in determining how the protocols themselves are constructed, and the responsibilities of the various protocol components. Several distinct protocol models have been advanced and the choice between them is far from simple. To some extent, the architectures reflect the backgrounds of their proponents: GMPLS sits uncomfortably between the world of the Internet Protocol and the sphere of influence of more traditional telecommunications companies. As a result, some of the architectures are heavily influenced by the Internet, while others have their roots in SONET/SDH, ATM, and even the telephone system (POTS). The supporters of the diff'erent architectures tend to be polarized and fairly dogmatic. Even though there are many similarities between the models, the proponents will often fail to recognize the overlaps and focus on what is different, making bold and forceful statements about the inadequacy of the other approaches. This chapter does not attempt to anoint any architecture as the best, nor does it even try to draw direct comparisons. Instead, each architecture is presented in its own right, and the reader is left to make up her own mind. Also introduced in this chapter is the end-to-end principle that underlies the lETF's Internet architecture and then describes three diff'erent GMPLS architectural models. The peer and overlay models are simple views of the network and are natural derivatives of the end-to-end architectural model: They can be combined into the third model, the hybrid model, which has the combined flexibihty of the two approaches.

  • Meaningful Urban Design: Teleological/Catalytic/Relevant
    Journal ofUrban Design,Vol. 7, No. 1, 35– 58, 2002 Meaningful Urban Design: Teleological/Catalytic/Relevant ASEEM INAM ABSTRACT Thepaper begins with a critique ofcontemporary urban design:the eldof urban designis vague because it isan ambiguousamalgam of several disciplines, includingarchitecture, landscapearchitecture, urban planningand civil engineering; it issuper cial because itisobsessedwith impressions and aesthetics ofphysical form; and it ispractised as an extensionof architecture, whichoften impliesan exaggerated emphasison theend product. The paper then proposesa meaningful(i.e. truly consequential to improvedquality of life) approach to urban design,which consists of: beingteleological (i.e. driven by purposes rather than de ned by conventional disci- plines);being catalytic (i.e. generating or contributing to long-term socio-economic developmentprocesses); andbeing relevant (i.e. grounded in rst causes andpertinent humanvalues). The argument isillustratedwith a number ofcase studiesof exemplary urban designers,such asMichael Pyatok and Henri Ciriani,and urban designprojects, such asHorton Plazaand Aranya Nagar, from around the world. The paper concludes withan outlineof future directionsin urban design,including criteria for successful urban designprojects (e.g. striking aesthetics, convenient function andlong-term impact) anda proposedpedagogical approach (e.g. interdisciplinary, in-depth and problem-driven). Provocations In the earlypart of 1998,two provocative urban design eventsoccurred at the Universityof Michigan in Ann Arbor.The rstwas an exhibition organizedas partof aninternationalsymposium on ‘ City,Space 1 Globalization’. The second wasa lecture by the renowned Dutch architectand urbanist, Rem Koolhaas. By themselves,the events generated much interestand discussion, yet were innocu- ous,compared to, say, Prince Charles’s controversialcomments on contempor- arycities in the UKorthe gathering momentumof the New Urbanism movementin the USA.
