  • 2006 Metal Building Systems Manual
    2006 Metal Building Systems Manual 50th Anniversary Edition METAL BUILDING MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 1300 Sumner Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115 Copyright © 2006 Metal Building Manufacturers Association, Inc. All rights reserved PREFACE The MBMA Metal Building Systems Manual incorporates the results of research undertaken by MBMA, its member companies and other industry groups. In many respects, it reflects refinement and advances in the knowledge of load application methods and design. This edition of the Metal Building Systems Manual replaces the 2002 edition, and its release coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Metal Building Manufacturers Association. Most municipalities in the United States have now adopted a building code. In the past, where a building code did not govern the design, the recommended loads in the MBMA Low-Rise Building Systems Manual (the predecessor to the Metal Building Systems Manual) were often specified. In recognition of the decreased need for MBMA loads, the Metal Building Systems Manual now focuses on how to apply the loads specified by the International Building Code and ASCE 7. Although the information in the new manual can be applied to low-rise buildings in general, it concentrates on issues related to design, code compliance and specification of metal building systems. Use of this manual is totally voluntary. Each building manufacturer or designer retains the prerogative to choose its own design and commercial practices and the responsibility to design its building systems to comply with applicable specifications and safety considerations. Although every effort has been made to present accurate and sound engineering and design information, MBMA assumes no responsibility whatsoever for the application of this information to the design or construction of any specific building system.

  • The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’S Art in Late Medieval England
    The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’s Art in Late Medieval England Robert Beech A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail.

  • Palikur Traditional Roundwood Construction in Eastern French
    Ogeron et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2018) 14:28 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-018-0226-7 RESEARCH Open Access Palikur traditional roundwood construction in eastern French Guiana: ethnobotanical and cultural perspectives Clémence Ogeron1,2, Guillaume Odonne1* , Antonia Cristinoi3, Julien Engel4,5, Pierre Grenand1, Jacques Beauchêne6, Bruno Clair2 and Damien Davy1 Abstract Background: Palikur Amerindians live in the eastern part of French Guiana which is undergoing deep-seated changes due to the geographical and economic opening of the region. So far, Palikur’s traditional ecological knowledge is poorly documented, apart from medicinal plants. The aim of this study was to document ethnobotanical practices related to traditional construction in the region. Methods: A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used. Thirty-nine Palikur men were interviewed in three localities (Saint-Georges de l’Oyapock, Regina and Trois-Palétuviers) between December 2013 and July 2014. Twenty-four inventories of wood species used in traditional buildings were conducted in the villages, as well as ethnobotanical walks in the neighboring forests, to complete data about usable species and to determine Linnaean names. Results: After an ethnographic description of roundwood Palikur habitat, the in situ wood selection process of Palikur is precisely described. A total of 960 roundwood pieces were inventoried in situ according to Palikur taxonomy, of which 860 were beams and rafters, and 100 posts in 20 permanent and 4 temporary buildings. Twenty-seven folk species were identified. Sixty-three folk species used in construction were recorded during ethnobotanical walks. They correspond to 263 botanical species belonging to 25 families.
