  • Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) Dome Design
    International Journal of Civil and Structural Engineering Research ISSN 2348-7607 (Online) Vol. 3, Issue 2, pp: (39-45), Month: October 2015 - March 2016, Available at: www.researchpublish.com Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) Dome Design SHAIK TAHASEEN II M.TECH, DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, VISVODAYA ENGINEERING COLLEGE, KAVALI ABSTRACT: A dome may be defined as a thin shell generated by the revolution of a regular curve about one of its axes. The shape of the dome depends up on the type of the curve and direction of the axis of revolution. The roof is curved and used to cover large storey buildings. The shell roof is useful when inside of the building is open and does not contain walls or pillars. Domes are used in variety of structures such as roof of circular areas, circular tanks, exhibition halls, auditoriums etc. Domes may be constructed of masonry, steel, timber and reinforced cement concrete. In this paper we design RCC dome roof structure by using manual methods which gives detail design of RCC domes. The procedure of designing RCC domes was clearly explained and from the Analysis and design we get the Meridional Reinforcement, hoop Reinforcement of a dome and ring beam Reinforcement Keywords: Dome, wind load, live load and dead load, Analysis, diameter of dome. 1. INTRODUCTION In the past and recent years, there have been an increasing number of structures using RCC domes as one of the most efficient shapes in the world.

  • Room in Roof ('Rir') Trussed Rafters
    PRODUCT DATA SHEET Sheet No.1 May 2007 ROOM IN ROOF (‘RIR’) TRUSSED RAFTERS The ‘Room-in-Roof’ (‘RiR’) or attic trussed Fig. 1 Typical 8 metre span conventional trussed rafter rafter is a simple means of providing the structural roof and floor in the same component. This offers considerable 35 x 97 rafter advantages over other forms of living roof construction: • There need be no restrictions on lower floor layouts since 40° the trusses can clear span on to external walls although greater spans and room widths can be achieved by Weight of truss approx 55kg 35 x 97 ceiling tie utilising internal loadbearing walls. • ‘RiR’ trussed rafters are computer designed and factory assembled units, resulting in better quality control. Fig. 2 Typical 8 metre span ‘Room in Roof’ trussed rafter • Complex, labour intensive site joints are not required. • ‘RiR’ trussed rafters can be erected quickly, offering cost savings and providing a weathertight shell earlier. 47 x 197 rafter • Freedom to plan the room layout within the roof space. • A complete structure is provided, ready to receive roof finishes, plaster board and floorboarding. 40° Weight of truss approx 125kg 47 x 197 ceiling joist Comparing an 8 metre span standard trussed rafter (see opposite) with an equivalent 8 metre span ‘RiR’ truss, the external members will increase in width and depth. There are two reasons for this: The ‘RiR’ truss supports approximately 60% more load than a standard truss of the same span and pitch. This difference in load is made up of plasterboard ceilings and wall construction, full superimposed floor loading and floor boarding.

  • The Onion Dome Crisis – Shaping Finnish Orthodox Church Architecture of the Interwar Period
    Hanna Kemppi THE ONION DOME CRISIS – SHAPING FINNISH ORTHODOX CHURCH ARCHITECTURE OF THE INTERWAR PERIOD Introduction Where cultural heritage is concerned, it is necessary to consider whose heritage is being addressed and by whom that heritage is defined, as noted by art historian Matthew Rampley, because heritage and local identity are connected in various ways. ‘Our’ heritage is the focus when the national cultural heritage is constructed, but at the same time the unwanted part of the ‘shared’ narrative is often ignored. Not only the cherished and the preserved are significant but also the effaced and the forgotten.1 Rampley applied the notion of unwanted heritage, which is related to the observa- tions of early researchers of nationalism – for a nation, both selective memory and forgetting are as important as remembering.2 According to him, the past will instigate forgetting, especially when a memory is connected to a traumatic experience.3 The aim of this article, which is based on my doctoral thesis on art history,4 is to consider the complex and sensitive issue of shaping a national ‘Karelian-Finn- ish’ style for the Finnish Orthodox church architecture in the interwar period 1918–1939. Finland declared its independence on the 6th of December in 1917. In 1809 Sweden ceded Finland to Russia as a result of the Swedish-Russian War of 1808–1809 after which Finland formed an autonomous Grand Duchy in the Rus- sian Empire. The process of gaining independence was linked with the First World War and the Russian February Revolution, which led to the abdication of Nicholas II.

  • Trussed Rafter Technical Guide
    TRUSSED RAFTERS have proved to be an efficient, safe and economical method for supporting roofs since their introduction into the UK in 1964. They are manufactured by specialised timber engineering companies, who supply to all sections of the construction industry. Developments have been extensive, and today complex roofscapes are easily formed with computer designed trussed rafters. With the continuing trend toward individualism in domestic house styling, let alone the reflection of this in new inner city estates, the facility to introduce variations to the standard designs is vital. The provision of many character differences by designing and then constructing L returns, doglegs and hips for example, satisfies the inherent need for individuality at affordable prices. Economical roofing solutions for many commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings; hospitals, army barracks and supermarket complexes, are achieved by the expeditious installation of trussed rafters. Experienced roof designers and trussed rafter manu- facturers are therefore in an ideal position to assist the architect or specifier in achieving affordable solutions throughout the building industry. Simply provide a brief sketch or description of that being considered, including alternatives, and we will do the rest. The whole roof is designed and specified using state-of-the-art computer aided technology supplied by Wolf Systems. We can also arrange for one of our specialists to visit and advise you. This technical manual highlights some of the basic structural arrangements and assembly information you may require. In addition, we can offer technical expertise and experience in a comprehensive advisory service to clients, from initial sketch to completed trussed rafters. 1 Technical Data Design Trusses are designed in accordance with the current Code of Practice, which is BS 5268: Part 3, and the relevant Building Regulations.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article is devoted to the XIX century wooden church monuments of Shenkurskiy uyezd of Arkhangelsk province that have not been studied before. The method of work is based on the study of archival historical sources, conducting field surveys, historical and architectural analysis of forms, as well as attracting analogs. The purpose of the research is to identify the uniqueness of monuments’ architectural and structural design features by comparing them with their analogs and considering them in the context of the wooden architecture of the region. The identified architectural features of researched churches and chapels correspond to the character of the distribution of traditions of wooden architecture of the Povazhye region. A stylistic and typological assessment of the objects under study is given. Keywords: Monuments of wooden architecture, wooden churches, Povazhye region, Shenkurskiy uyezd, model projects by E.V. Khodakovsky, in which special attention is I. INTRODUCTION given to the history and architecture of particular The monuments of Russian wooden architecture of objects, are devoted to this topic [2], [3], [4].

The great churches of Kievan Rus', built after the adoption of christianity in 988, were the first examples of monumental architecture in the East Slavic region. The architectural style of the Kievan state, which quickly established itself, was strongly influenced by Byzantine architecture. Early Eastern Orthodox churches were mainly built from wood, with their simplest form known as a cell church. Major cathedrals often featured many small domes, which has led some art historians to infer how the pagan Slavic temples may have appeared.
