  • Building a 25Mm Quonset
    Building a 28mm Quonset Hut By Binhan Lin Introduction and History During WWI there was a demand for portable, sturdy structures for storage, barracks, medical and other facilities that could not be sheltered by tents. British Major Peter Norman Nissen began to experiment with various designs that utilized pre-made wooden frames and simple corrugated metal sheets to form a shelter. Inspired by the cylindrical drill-shed roof at Queen’s University in Kingston Ontario, the basic shape of the Nissen hut was born. After much experimentation and critical assessment, Nissen patented his design in 1916 and the hut was put into production for the war. More than 100,000 were produced for Allied use. The basic design of the Nissen hut is a set of semi-circular ribs, spaced 6 feet apart. The ribs form an arc with an eight-foot radius. Over the ribs and stringers are placed curved corrugated metal sheets, 2 feet 2 inches wide and ten feet tall. The sheets are overlapped sideways 2 corrugations, or about 2 inches and overlapped vertically about 6 inches, with the top piece covering the top of each of the sidepieces. Figure 1. Diagram showing the compact packing of all the materials for a Nissen Hut. (Image from Nissens.co.uk) Figures 2 and 3. Wooden bearers are laid on the ground and the steel ribs are set up. (Images from Nissens.co.uk) Figures 4 and 5. Wooden flooring is installed, the inner corrugated lining (horizontal) added, then the end piece and outer corrugated skin (vertical) applied. (Images from Nissens.co.uk) The Nissen hut was compact to transport and relatively simple to set up.

  • Quonset Huts Peter Lobner, 15 June 2020 1. the Quonset Hut During WW II During WW I, the British Developed a Light, Prefabricat
    Quonset huts Peter Lobner, 15 June 2020 1. The Quonset hut during WW II During WW I, the British developed a light, prefabricated, transportable structure called a Nissen hut. In early 1941, the US military examined the Nissen hut and decided to develop it further. In March 1941 the Navy placed a contract with George A. Fuller Company in West Davisville, Rhode Island to design and produce a hut to Navy specification within two months. The result was the first generation of the demountable, galvanized steel huts that became a common sight in most theaters of WW II. The hut’s name came from the site of their first manufacture at Quonset Point, at the Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center in Davisville, Rhode Island. Following is a summary of the five generations of Quonset huts that were produced during WW II, based on information on the Seabee Museum and Memorial Park website and other sources. First generation 16 x 36 T-Rib Quonset hut isometric view. Source: George A. Fuller Company via https://images.lib.ncsu.edu/ 1 Original T-Rib Quonset hut: Fuller’s first design was semi-circular, 16 feet wide by 36 feet long (576 ft2), and constructed of heavy 1-inch thick T-shaped low-grade (non-strategic) steel and angle iron arches and covered in corrugated steel panels. Each Quonset hut used about four tons of steel. The two ends of the huts were finished in plywood, and included doors and windows. Known as the "T-Rib” Hut," it shipped in 10 crates and could be erected in one day by a crew of 8 to 10 persons.

    Free World, Cheap Buildings: U.S. Hegemony and the Origins of Modern Architecture in South Korea, 1953-1960 By Dongmin Park A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division Of the University Of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Andrew Shanken, Chair Professor Greg Castillo Professor Margaret Crawford Professor Michael Southworth Spring 2016 Abstract Free World, Cheap Buildings: U.S. Hegemony and the Origins of Modern Architecture in South Korea, 1953-1960 by Dongmin Park Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Andrew Shanken, Chair This dissertation examines the role of U.S.-aided construction projects as an instrument of power and legitimacy in the rebuilding of South Korea after the Korean War through the Eisenhower years, by situating them in the socio-political context of the Cold War. It specifically addresses two intertwined historical questions: (1) How did the United States, portraying its image as an anti-imperialist nation, quickly establish a powerful hegemony in South Korea? (2) What influence did those construction projects have on the development of modern architecture in South Korea? This study argues that, in a war-ravaged Korea, construction projects were America’s core hegemonic projects in the making of a democratic, capitalist society. Through numerous construction projects in South Korea, the U.S nurtured democratic citizenship, established a private enterprise system, spread Christianity, instilled democratic governance, and offered the “American way of life” to Koreans. In addition, they provided a unique opportunity for the U.S.
