Watts, Andrew 1957- creator author. text bibliography sz 2023 2023 Sixth edition. monographic eng 1 online resource (503 pages) : illustrations (some color) Neuauflage des beliebten Handbuchs Das Modern Construction Handbook wurde durch seine regelmäßigen Überarbeitungen zum Klassiker der avancierten Baukonstruktionsliteratur, nicht zuletzt aufgrund seines klaren Aufbaus mit den Kapiteln "Material", "Wand", "Dach", "Tragwerk", "Umwelt" und "Anwendungen". Bewährte Komponentendetails, Beispiele mit Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit und Energiekonsum und ein in der letzten Auflage eingeführtes Update zur Finite-Elemente-Analyse (FEA) und Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) setzen ebenfalls neue Standards für dieses Handbuch, das Grundlage vieler Architektur-Studiengänge ist. Als Einführung in die Baukonstruktion ist es Ausganspunkt für die weiterführenden Bücher Modern Construction Envelopes, Modern Construction Case Studies sowie Modern Environmental Design und Modern Structural Design von Andrew Watts. Relevante Details und Beispiele für das Studium Die wichtigen Konstruktionsaspekte in sechs Hauptkapiteln Darstellungen in projektneutralen Zeichnungen. "The Modern Construction Handbook has become a classic of advanced construction literature, not least due to its regular revisions and clear structure with chapters titled "Material", "Wall", "Roof", "Structure", "Environment," and "Applications". Tried and tested component details, examples focusing on sustainability and energy consumption, and an update on finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) introduced in the last edition set new standards for this handbook which serves as a foundational textbook in many architecture courses. As a primer Handbook to building design, it is a starting point for the more advanced books Modern Construction Envelopes, Modern Construction Case Studies, Modern Environmental Design and Modern Structural Design by Andrew Watts" -- Governing aspects of design -- Information layout -- Design motivation -- Materials and assembly -- Performance -- Realisation of architectural intent through integration of strategies -- Relation to other design industries -- Application cases -- The Modern Construction Series -- Qualifying comments -- 1 MATERIALS -- Steel -- Aluminium -- Copper, zinc, lead -- Stone -- Glass -- Concrete -- Fibre reinforced concrete -- Ceramics -- Timber -- Polymers -- Material testing -- 2 WALLS -- Trends in facade design -- Generic wall types -- Metal -- Glass systems -- Concrete -- Masonry -- Fibre reinforced polymers -- Timber -- 3 ROOFS -- Trends in roof design -- Metal roofs -- Glass roofs -- Concrete roofs -- Timber roofs -- Fibre reinforced polymer roofs -- Fabric systems -- 4 STRUCTURE -- Material systems for structures -- Elements of structures -- Braced frames -- Portal frames -- Loadbearing boxes -- Trusses -- Arches and shells -- Space grids -- Floor structures -- Stairs -- 5 ENVIRONMENT -- Environmental studies for envelopes -- Analysis for design -- Low-energy material systems -- Active design -- Support services -- Performance testing -- 6 APPLICATIONS -- Working with industry -- Triangular panels for twisted facades -- Twisted panels with flat glass for curved facades -- Solar shading louvres -- Double-skin facades -- Precast concrete panels for facades of complex geometry -- Diagrid structures -- Hybrid systems forming facades of complex geometry -- Opaque cladding interface with full-height glazing -- Complex curved glazed roofs -- Large-scale glazed facades -- Panelisation of complex building surface geometry -- Opaque rainscreen cladding -- Full-height glazing with GRP-clad structural frame -- GRC cladding interfaces -- Full-height entrance glazing -- GRP louvres on stick glazing system -- GRC cladding -- Windows in GRC cladding -- Unitised glazing with GRC cladding -- Complex glazed roofs with supporting steel structure -- Glazed roofs with complex geometry -- Louvres and stick glazing.
