Bygningsbevaring og bygningsmaterialer

Smuk, gennemillustreret bog om hvordan - og med hvad - du bedst behandler dit gamle hus.Utallige gamle huse har op igennem tiden været underlagt forskellige modeluner og er blevet forsynet med forsænkede lofter, elementkøkkener, plastikvinduer osv. I de seneste årtier er der kommet langt mere fokus på at istandsætte på den "rigtige" måde."Huse med sjæl" handler om nogle grundlæggende restaureringsprincipper, der sikrer, at man ikke ødelægger huset i forhold til dets oprindelige udseende og den håndværksmæssige kvalitet. Ovenikøbet er der tale om principper, der gør istandsættelsen langt billigere end ellers.I et engageret, underholdende og letforståeligt sprog formidler Søren Vadstrup sin store både håndværksmæssige og kulturhistoriske viden, der bygger på årelang forskning i "nænsom bygningsbevaring". "Landets mest vidende mand, når det gælder restaurering af gamle bygninger, har skrevet en stor værdifuld håndbog om nænsom istandsættelse og bevaring af aldrende huse ... Alle de, der gerne vil bevare deres huse og de gedigne gamle materialer og sætte dem i stand på så at sige husets, og ikke byggemarkedes, præmisser, har fået en stor håndsrækning. Og alle interesserede en voldsomt inspirerende bog." Politiken

En flot illustreret bog om landhuset, skrevet af landets vel nok mest vidende mand på området. Om hvordan man istandsætter og ombygger landhuse på en måde, som er i overensstemmelse med husets oprindelige arkitektur og brug af materialer. Bogen er relevant for alle, der bor på landet, eller bare drømmer om at flytte ud. Vi får her en spændende gennemgang af både landsbyens og landhusenes udvikling fra de ældste tider til i dag, herunder de ændrede funktioner, de arkitektoniske stilarter og materialer. Der er kapitler om de forskellige typer af boliger, deres baggrund, karakteristika og indretning. Endelig giver bogen konkret rådgivning og vejledning om istandsættelse, ombygning, bygningsbevaring og reetablering, hvor de forskellige bygningsdele gennemgås systematisk, lige fra bindingsværkshuse med stråtag til murede huse, træhuse, sommerhuse osv.Søren Vadstrup er restaureringsarkitekt, tidl. leder af Raadvad-Centeret og forskningslektor på Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole i København. Udgav i 2004 bogen Huse med sjæl og i 2014 Byhuset.

Versatile wooden windows In her book, the trained carpenter and architect Judith Resch looks at what scope still exists in modern window design and construction. The process of simplification is more difficult to achieve for windows than for most building components, since windows, due to their function, must meet high technical specifications. She presents a variety of window design projects that have one thing in common: they pursue a singular design concept using the simplest possible means. All projects are presented in detail with technical drawings and photographs. 10 simple wooden window designs From retrofitting historical windows to the possibilities of DIY design Precisely designed, handcrafted, highly repairable windows

La 'piera da l'aga' (pietra dell'acqua) di Ciago di Meduno (PN) è la base pressoria di un torchio vinario di epoca romana - una leggenda popolare vuole che il grosso monolite giacesse un tempo in mezzo al prato e che, spostato tramite l'aiuto di una coppia di buoi, fosse ritrovato il giorno seguente al posto di partenza. Solo in seguito ad un nuovo tentativo il masso ri¬mase nella nuova collocazione.Una seconda leggenda racconta, invece, che Ciago è stata in passato una "grande città", protetta dai quattro castelli di Meduno, Toppo, Cavasso e Solimbergo. La credenza è stata originata dal frequente ritrovamento, nella pianura ad Ovest e a Sud del borgo, di fondamenta di antiche case e dei resti di numerose tombe di epoca romana.Una vecchia consuetudine locale voleva che l'acqua piovana raccoltasi nelle quattro coppelle fosse benefica alla vista; veniva perciò toc¬cata dalle contadine di passaggio prima di fare il segno della croce, mentre mormoravano una preghiera.

This book examines in great detail the D-B and IPD methods, while touching on D-B-B and CM project deliveries. In this vein, the discussion regarding IPD is a variation from ASHRAE Technical Committee TC 7.1, Integrated Building Design (IBD), with the focus herein on HVAC-Led IPD Opportunities by consulting engineers and mechanical contractors. This IPD variation is also described later in the book as a 21st-century version of what was 20th-century D-B project delivery although D-B project delivery is still widely used.

This book provides the most up-to-date, advanced methods and tools for risk assessment of onshore pipelines. These methods and tools are based primarily on information collected from ILI measurements and additional information about the soil surrounding the pipeline. The book provides a better understanding how the defects grow and interact (repulsion or attraction) and their spatial variability. In addition, the authors contemplate new defects that evolve between inspections and how they could affect the pipeline's reliability. A real-world case is presented to reinforce the concepts presented in the book. The book is structured into three parts: i) an introduction to onshore pipelines and the problem of corrosion, ii) a framework that deals with uncertainty for integrity programs for corroded pipelines, and iii) the applications of the methods presented in the book. The book is ideal for researchers and field engineers in oil and gas transportation and graduate and undergraduate engineering students interested in pipeline reliability assessments, spatial variability, and risk-based inspections.

Der 1897/98 gebaute und 1910 im Stil der Frühmoderne erweiterte Kornversuchsspeicher war zunächst ein Experimentalbauwerk für die optimale Lagerung von Getreide. Der konzeptionell ambitionierte Bau sollte Erkenntnisse für Speicherarchitekturen im ganzen Deutschen Reich liefern. Nach dem Ende der wissenschaftlichen Nutzung diente er über Jahrzehnte Speditionen als Lager, wurde von der Berliner Partyszene entdeckt und stand schließlich leer. Seit dem spektakulären Umbau von AFF Architekten zu einer Mischnutzung aus Büros, Galerie und Gastronomie ist der denkmalgeschützte Speicher eine Attraktion im Entwicklungsgebiet Europacity gegenüber dem Berliner Hauptbahnhof. Der Berliner Fotograf Harf Zimmermann, Mitbegründer der international bekannten Agentur Ostkreuz, hat die Transformation über einen Zeitraum von fünf Jahren mit seiner analogen Großformatkamera begleitet und damit eine einzigartige Langzeitdokumentation zur jüngsten Geschichte des ikonischen Baus geschaffen. Die von ihm ebenso präzise wie atmosphärisch fotografierten Zustände lassen die Baustelle mal wie eine archäologische Ausgrabungsstätte wirken, dann wieder wie einen kompletten Neubau. Sein Fotoessay wird von einem aufwendig recherchierten und reich bebilderten Essay von Hans Georg Hiller von Gaertringen zur Geschichte des Baus begleitet.

This book introduces a maintenance model that will assist decision-makers in their choice of building maintenance policies. The model is stochastic and condition-based that analyses the impact of different maintenance strategies on the durability and performance of different buildings envelope elements (facades, windows, and roofs).  As non-structural elements, the maintenance of buildings envelope can be disregarded stakeholders. However, as first barrier to the external environment, these elements are critical to buildings' overall performance and are expected to meet aesthetic, comfort, safety, and durability requirements. The methodology presented is innovative. The maintenance model is based on a Petri net formalism and includes degradation, inspection, maintenance, and renewal processes. The model provides key information, such as: i) the impact of different maintenance strategies on the service life and durability of the building components; ii) the impact of maintenance on their performance over time; iii) the life cycle costs; and iv) the impact of maintenance on the buildings' use.  The book will be of use to a variety of professionals in the construction sector.

This book explores the reconstruction after the 2015 Gorkha Nepal earthquake, on the basis of the author's first-hand experience that has been validated with empirical evidence. Unlike other advocacy and academic literature, the book takes readers close to the ground where the activities took place. This book describes Nepal's efforts to rebuild private housing from the preparatory to the concluding stages, and the obstacles faced and overcome along the way. It assesses the consequences of the policy level decisions and also examines the relevance, utility and future use of damage assessment surveys that were carried out in the country. In addition, lessons from the housing grant payment through the banking system, impending reasons for housing non-compliance to building standards, experimentation with resilient resettlements and unresolved issue of urban regeneration have been also delved in. The ground realities revealed that the aid architecture requires further carving out. The last three chapters have attempted to capture the macro level picture of the reconstruction and recovery endeavors: contribution to national economy, structural resilience and comparative overview of Nepal's delivery in global context. As an intimately involved professional with the 2015 Nepal Earthquake, Dr Shrestha is the authority from whom a holistic understanding can be attained regarding the response of Nepal's state and society to the Earthquake. His study will have ramification at national and global scale in handling with inescapable natural calamities.                                                                                            Kanak M.

SPONSORED BY THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF COVERED BRIDGESTheodore Burr (1771-1822) was the most prominent of America's three early nineteenth century timber bridge-building pioneers, the others being Timothy Palmer (1751-1821) and Lewis Wernwag (1769-1843). All three built superlative long-span timber bridges in the Northeast.A transplant from northwestern Connecticut, Theodore Burr moved to Oxford, New York in 1792-1793. In less than thirty years, he erected timber bridges over major rivers-the Hudson, Schoharie, Mohawk, Delaware, Potomac, and Susquehanna rivers-in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, District of Columbia, and Maryland.In addition to being the first full study of the most prominent timber bridge builder-Theodore Burr-that links him to other bridge builders, this book narrates the significant role of covered timber bridges and associated turnpikes in the westward expansion of the new nation, a subject never before written about. The book should help refocus scholarship on advances in transportation infrastructure during one of the most important periods in American history-the early 19th century. Based on archival research with newly discovered primary source materials, the book is richly illustrated more than 200 lithographs, paintings, and both historic and modern photographs, most of which have never been published before.Anyone today who has visited America's covered bridges and examined the structural features within is likely familiar with the variant forms of Burr's 1817 patented "Burr arch-truss" design- a multiple kingpost truss with an added segmented timber arch. Of the more than 1100 timber bridges using Burr's design that were erected over the past two hundred years, more than a hundred still stand in Pennsylvania, Indiana, New York, and other states.Burr claimed to have built forty-five bridges. These however were not like the ordinary covered bridges commonly seen today that are identified with his patent but include some of the most challenging and superlative bridges in American history.Despite Burr's herculean efforts, part of his legacy sadly includes an obscure and ignominious demise in 1822 at the age of 51, possibly by then penniless and without even an obituary lauding his work. He was buried in an unknown grave. Burr deserved better. This book is strongly supported by the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges whose purpose is "To preserve covered bridges. To gather and record knowledge of the history of covered bridges. To collect and preserve pictures, printed, and manuscript matter and other articles of historical interest concerning covered bridges." https: //www.coveredbridgesociety.org/
