  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard They All Taxed For You: Shotguns, Camelbacks and More The Louvre in Paris, the Cabildo and Presbytère in the French Quarter, 1960s motor hotels, Lake Avenue apartments and early “Popeye’s Fried Chicken” outlets have what in common? The answer, of course, is the Mansard roof. After all, what exemplifies this architectural style more faithfully than Hawaiian black lava rock topped with red synthetic roof tiles? Architects and the late Al Copeland may have disagreed on this subject, but the history of the Mansard is still most interesting. The Mansard roof refers to a type of hip roof with two slopes on each of its four sides with the lower slope being much steeper, virtually vertical. The upper slope is usually not visible from the ground and is pitched just enough to shed water. For all intents and purposes, this is an additional story disguised as a roof. Sometimes, for decorative effect, the pitch is curved with impressive dormers. In modern commercial construction, the upper pitch has often been substituted with a flat roof. The Cabildo in New Orleans Mansard elevation, 1868 The architect, Francois Mansart (1598 - 1666), popularized the roof style known as Mansard, a misspelling of his name. The central portico of the Richelieu Wing of the Louvre is a fine example. In the years that French houses were taxed by the number of floors beneath the roof, the Mansard style afforded a clever way to avoid paying the tax collector. A revival of Mansard occurred in the 1850s rebuilding of Paris, and that era is called Second Empire.

  • 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. It covers the maximum volume with the minimum larger volumes with no interrupting columns in the middle with an efficient shapes would be more efficient and economic.

  • Living Tradition Adding to Our Heritage with More Homes and Sustainable Intensification Living Tradition
    Create Streets Briefing Paper August 2021 Samuel Hughes Living tradition Adding to our heritage with more homes and sustainable intensification Living Tradition Foreword by Christopher Boyle QC Former Chairman of the Georgian Group (2015-2020) The mansard is one of the defining features of the Georgian and Victorian skyline. In eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain, the right of property owners to add mansards went without question: the idea that local governments would one day forbid them would have been viewed with puzzlement. The form of mansards was, however, tightly controlled by a series of Building Acts which governed their height, inclines and materials, as well as regulating their parapets, party walls, chimney stacks and dormers. These regulations led to a distinctive British tradition of mansard design, readily distinguished from those of France or Germany. This fascinating report proposes that we allow this great tradition to be revived. On terraces on which some of the buildings have mansards already, owners of the remaining buildings would enjoy a presumption in favour of permission to add new ones, provided that they followed a design guide ensuring that the new mansards conformed to the best traditions of historic mansard design. On terraces on which none of the buildings have mansards yet, residents would be able to vote for the right to add them, with the same proviso. It is profoundly important that we cherish our architectural heritage, a cause on which I worked during my five years as Chairman of the Georgian Group. Cherishing this heritage involves fighting the demolition of historic buildings, just as it involves fighting alterations that would damage their character.
