Résumé:
Through a collection of research, writings and laboratory tests, this book advances the belief that honeycomb tube architecture is a secure, safe and sustainable architectural system for low-carbon societies. Included are the results of two wide-ranging tests that examine the strengths of honeycomb tubes for pre-stressed concrete and steel programmes, along with the configuration’s response to seismic reactions. The second half of the book examines a wide range of research and projects that explores honeycomb’s environmental performances and its potential for sustainable architecture.

Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire de l'évolution des techniques de construction appliquées aux ponts industriels. L'apparition du coke métallique en (1750) et du procédé de puddlage de l'acier en 1754 ont ouvert la voie à une nouvelle ère dans la construction des ponts, qui, de la pierre et du bois, sont passés au métal. 1856 est l'année de la mise au point de l'acier : grâce à ce matériau révolutionnaire apparaissent de nouvelles formes, simplifiées. L'arrivée du béton, du béton armé et du béton contraint ouvre des possibilités de réalisations jusque-là insoupçonnées, les ponts devenant d'admirables prouesses technologiques.

Résumé:
Physicist Mark Denny looks at the large structures around us -- tall buildings, long bridges, and big dams -- and explains how they were designed and built and why they sometimes collapse, topple, or burst. Employing history, humor, and simple physics to consider such topics as when to use screws or nails, what trusses are, why iron beams are often I-shaped, and why medieval cathedrals have buttresses, Denny allows readers to appreciate the core principles that keep these engineering marvels upright without having to master complex mathematical equations.

Résumé:
Since the time of ancient Rome, architects, engineers, and builders have struggled with the problem of building domed ceilings over large spaces. No one was more skilled at this than the Rafael Guastavino family, a father and son team of Spanish immigrants who oversaw the construction of thousands of spectacular thin-tile vaults across the United States between the 1880s and the 1950s. These versatile, strong, and fireproof vaults were built by Guastavino in more than two hundred major buildings in Manhattan, and in hundreds more across the country, including Grand Central Terminal, Carnegie Hall, and many major university buildings. Because the Guastavinos served only as contractors on these projects, their firm's accomplishments have remained relatively unknown to the public. Guastavino Vaulting traces the development of the remarkable construction technology from its Mediterranean roots to its highest achievements in the United States. This long overdue first monograph features archival images, drawings, and beautiful new color photography showcasing the most incredible Guastavino vaulted spaces.

Résumé:
Mario Salvadori analyse tous les paramètres structurels et constructifs qui contribuent à la destruction des édifices. Un bâtiment est conçu lorsqu'il est dessiné, il naît au moment de sa construction, vit tant qu'il est debout, meurt de son grand âge ou d'un accident inattendu, et la mort accidentelle d'une construction est toujours due à la défaillance de son squelette, la structure. Grâce à l'illustration, l'auteur explicite ici les grandes catastrophes de l'histoire de l'architecture - effondrements de dômes, ponts ou tours suite à des erreurs de conception, au manque d'entretien ou à des phénomènes exceptionnels, naturels ou autres. Ce second volume a été mis à jour par les collaborateurs de Mario Salvadori après sa disparition, pour tenir compte des exemples les plus récents, notamment la destruction des tours jumelles de New York dont le processus d'effondrement est ici finement décrypté.

Diagrids owe their ensuing popularity not only to their stunning aesthetic value, but also to their very tangible benefits: a massive saving of material, a significant gain in open, usable floor area, and increased flexibility. The book looks at contemporary diagrid buildings such as Capital Gate (Abu Dhabi), Guangzhou IFC (China), Bow Encana (Calgary), CCTV (China) and the Doha Tower (Qatar) to establish an understanding of the methodology of the design of this innovative type.

Résumé:
The Marburg Building System has been one of the earliest, and is probably one of the internationally best known German building systems. Originally developed by Helmut Spieker for a diploma thesis on university construction at the University of Kiel, and modified for the expansion of the University of Karlsruhe, the construction system was for the first time fully realized in 1961/1962 on the Marburg Lahn Hills. It marks the beginning of a construction boom doubling the building stock of German universities.This publication aims at bringing the building system back to the attention of experts and fans of good architecture. The topic is all the more up-to-date as the University of Marburg was recently declared a building of historic interest and thus protected by built heritage conservation.
