  • Evaluating Skyscraper Design and Construction Technologies on an International Basis
    EVALUATING SKYSCRAPER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES ON AN INTERNATIONAL BASIS by Saad Allah Fathy Abo Moslim B.Sc., Mansoura University, Egypt, 1984 M.Eng., The University of British Columbia, Canada, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Civil Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2017 © Saad Allah Fathy Abo Moslim, 2017 Abstract Design and construction functions of skyscrapers tend to draw from the best practices and technologies available worldwide in order to meet their development, design, construction, and performance challenges. Given the availability of many alternative solutions for different facets of a building’s design and construction systems, the need exists for an evaluation framework that is comprehensive in scope, transparent as to the basis for decisions made, reliable in result, and practical in application. Findings from the literature reviewed combined with a deep understanding of the evaluation process of skyscraper systems were used to identify the components and their properties of such a framework, with emphasis on selection of categories, perspectives, criteria, and sub-criteria, completeness of these categories and perspectives, and clarity in the language, expression and level of detail used. The developed framework divided the evaluation process for candidate solutions into the application of three integrated filters. The first filter screens alternative solutions using two-comprehensive checklists of stakeholder acceptance and local feasibility criteria/sub-criteria on a pass-fail basis to eliminate the solutions that do not fit with local cultural norms, delivery capabilities, etc. The second filter treats criteria related to design, quality, production, logistics, installation, and in-use perspectives for assessing the technical performance of the first filter survivors in order to rank them.

  • Report on Texas Boarding Houses H.B. 1168
    Report on Texas Boarding Houses H.B. 1168 Submitted to the Governor and the Texas Legislature January 2009 Members of the 81st Texas Legislature, In compliance with House Bill (HB) 1168, 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) contracted with Health Management Associates to prepare this report outlining methods for regulating boarding houses, including recommendations on clarifying the authority of and granting additional authority to counties and municipalities to establish health and safety standards for boarding houses. The report highlights issues for legislative consideration surrounding boarding houses in the state, primarily concerns surrounding the care and treatment of the aged, disabled and mentally ill. As indicated in the report, very few housing options are available for these individuals given their low income level. Boarding houses have developed as an alternative option to the lack of appropriate and affordable housing for these individuals. Despite filling that void, there is a considerable amount of concern for boarding house residents, particularly unsafe environments and access to personal care services. HMA has included fourteen recommendations in the report, grouped in three categories: strengthening housing options, strengthening enforcement and monitoring, and better education regarding boarding houses. One of the recommendations includes increasing the availability of Community-based Alternatives (CBA) waiver slots to allow for more Medicaid-funded assisted living options for these individuals. If more CBA slots were available, individuals would not need to rely on boarding houses and would be able to receive personal care services that they are currently unable to receive in boarding houses. In the report, HMA recommends that the Legislature create a new funding item that would provide housing stipends to mental health consumers.

  • No Longer Just a Hole in the Ground the Adaptive Re-Use of Derelict Quarries
    1 NO LONGER JUST A HOLE IN THE GROUND The Adaptive Re-Use of Resource Depleted Quarries Catherine McCandless Urban Nature and City Design Professor Anne Whiston Spirn MIT 4.213J/11.308J Fall 2013 2 Table of Contents ABSTRACT 3 Introduction 4 Quarrying Activity 5 Cases 6 1. Brownstone Park 7 2. Quarry Falls 9 3. Bellwood Quarry 11 4. Butchart Gardens 13 5. Groundscraper Hotel 15 Conclusion from Cases 17 Looking Forward 18 REFERENCES 19 3 Abstract A quarry is an area from which rocks such as marble, limestone, and granite are extracted for industrial use. Once depleted of their desired resources, quarries are frequently abandoned. The resulting gaping holes can fill with water and form dangerous quarry lakes while others are turned into unsightly landfills. When quarries are in close proximity to urban environments, inhabitants are subjected to pollution and noise, and the undeniable eyesore of an abandoned quarry remains long after excavation is completed. Sustainable redevelopment has become a shining solution for these abandoned, resource-depleted quarries. Dozens of cities in America and abroad have undertaken adaptive re-use projects to transform quarries into a variety of public and private spaces. The potential new uses for these expanses of land include sites for research and education, aquaculture, recreational activities, storage, industry and housing. The goal of my research is to encourage the rehabilitation of land disturbed by quarrying by making the areas suitable for new sustainable land uses. I will examine cases that successfully transformed resource-depleted quarries into commercial and residential communities, and will discuss how further to improve future redevelopment of quarries with greater consideration to environmental impact and biodiversity.

Doing so ENVIRONMENT can mean big pay offs, as this Amsterdam office building proves. NMB Bank Headquarters The Impressive Performance of A Green Building W ILLIAM B ROWNING hen Nederlandsche Middenstandsbank (NMB), then the number four bank in the Netherlands, felt the need, in 1978, for a W new image and a new headquarters, its board of directors set out some unusual criteria. The board asked for an organic building that would integrate art, natural materials, sunlight, green plants, energy conservation, low noise levels, and water, reports Tie Liebe, head of Maatschappij voor Bedrijfsobjecten (MBO), NMB’s real estate develop- ment subsidiary. Per vote of the bank’s employees, the new headquarters would be built in a growing area south of Amsterdam. An integrated team instructed to work across disciplines–an architect, a construction engineer, a landscape architect, an energy expert, and artists– worked for three years designing the building. Construction began in 1983 and was completed in 1987. The NMB building is no monolithic tower. To the contrary, its 538,000 square feet (50,000 square meters) of office space housing 2,400 employees is broken up into a series of 10 slanting towers arranged in an irregular S-curve with gardens and courtyards interspersed. Portions of the complex are supported by a 301,280-square-foot structure (28,000 square meters) containing parking and service areas. Restaurants and meeting rooms line the internal “street” that connects the towers on the mezzanine level.

  • Teacher Background
    Teacher Background Inquiry Description In many parts of the world today, notably in Asia, societies are rapidly transforming. A major part of this transformation is urbanization, the flocking of people from the countryside to cities. A sign of this transformation is the construction of tall buildings. Since the Lincoln Cathedral surpassed the Pyramids of Egypt in 1300 CE, all of the tallest buildings in the world were in Europe and North America. Then, in 1998, the Petronas Towers opened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Today the five tallest buildings are in Asia (One World Trade Center in New York City is #6) These areas are being transformed because of their integration into the world economic system that itself was the result of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century in Western societies and the subsequent growth and expansion of those western societies. Interestingly, tall buildings, known as skyscrapers, were a sign of urbanization and industrial growth in Europe and North America at that time. This unit explores the connections between industrialization, urbanization, and skyscrapers, and how it was that skyscrapers were able to be built when and how they were. Key areas of attention will be building materials and related technologies that allowed for taller structures. Teachers are encouraged to use the following notes as they prepare for this unit, and additional secondary resources are listed at the end of this document. Historical Background Agriculture and Monumental Architecture In the long arc of human history, there are two interesting phenomena that might seem separate, but in hindsight are closely related. On the one hand, people have continually intensified their food production, leading to the ability to sustain larger populations on the same amount of land with fewer direct food producers.
