Building Down Barriers - A Guide to Construction Best Practice (Paperback): Clive Thomas Cain Building Down Barriers - A Guide to Construction Best Practice (Paperback)
Clive Thomas Cain
R1,753 Discovery Miles 17 530 Ships in 12 - 17 working days


The construction industry's latent potential for integrating and improving its procurement processes has long been recognized in most developed countries. Numerous government level reports insist that full integration of the design and construction supply chain can result in substantial gains in efficiency, morale and quality. New methods of working, such as partnering and prime contracting, give sophisticated opportunities for clients, end users and the design and construction supply-side to work in a more effective and collaborative way.

In the UK, the Latham and Egan reports have spurred further initiatives from the demand-side of the industry to speed the pace of reform, such as those seen in the launch of three radical best practice standards for construction procurement: the Confederation of Construction Clients' "Charter Handbook", the National Audit Office report "Modernising Construction" and the Department of Media, Culture and Sport report "Better Public Buildings".

Building Down Barriers, a guide to construction best practice explains and compares, simply and clearly, the main aspects of the three standards and also compares them with similar developments in countries such as the USA and Singapore. It goes on to examine not only the fundamental culture changes they necessitate in each sector of the UK construction industry, but also the consequences of ignoring them. The book is aimed at all members of the design and construction supply chain, including the client and end users, and it is a valuable guide for students in all design and construction courses

Inclusive Urban Design: Public Toilets (Paperback): Clara Greed Inclusive Urban Design: Public Toilets (Paperback)
Clara Greed
R1,786 Discovery Miles 17 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This is a unique text providing both design guidance and policy direction for the provision and design of public toilets covering city-wide, district-level and site-specific principles. It highlights the role of urban design in reversing the trend of inadequate toilet provision, and sets out guidelines for design which meets both user need and provider requirements.

Greed presents the fundamental principle that toilets should not be dealt with in isolation from mainstream urban policy, but that they should be seen as a serious core component in both strategic urban policy and local area design. She argues toilets are valuable townscape features in their own right as manifestation civic pride and good urban design - essential architectural components which add to the quality and viability of an area.
Although a range of design guidance on toilets exists there is still considerable dissatisfaction with the end product in terms of building design, levels of provision, location, safety, layout, DDA requirements and accessibility. By outlining user demands and provider constraints, Greed shows that it is essential for architects to have an informed understanding and practical knowledge of toilet issues when working with public and private sector providers.
Examples of toilet architecture from other countries, and policies from different cultural settings, are included for comparative purposes to invigorate UK perspectives.
* Brings user needs and provider considerations to the attention of urban designers and architects
* International examples of toilet architecture and policies facilitate refreshing comparisons
* The first book to deal with toilets as an integral partof urban design

This revised second edition of this book presents the findings of the Task 13 experts and includes the results of the monitoring programme, conducted to determine the effectives of the techniques and strategies adopted. This new edition also provides a detailed explanation of this research programme in terms of how far the expectations of the Task experts were met and highlights the specific successes and lessons learned from the project.

Sustainable Infrastructure Investment - Toward a More Equitable Future (Paperback): Eric Christian Bruun Sustainable Infrastructure Investment - Toward a More Equitable Future (Paperback)
Eric Christian Bruun
R1,122 Discovery Miles 11 220 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book provides examples and suggestions for readers to understand how public investment decisions for sustainable infrastructure are made. Through detailed analysis of public investment in infrastructure over the last few decades in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Finland, the author explores how the decision-making processes for major public works spending, many of them requiring quite rigorous and detailed computational methodologies, can result in plans that underserve large portions of the population, are inequitable, and fail to efficiently preserve public property. Beginning with some of the commonly offered explanations for the slow pace of investment and repair in a supposedly prosperous society facing serious environmental challenges, the book then explores media's role in shaping the public-at-large's understanding of the situation and the unimaginative solutions put forward by politicians. It continues with some case studies of infrastructure investment, or lack thereof, including an exploration of competing uses for government funds. It concludes with some suggestions. It is aimed at a large readership of professionals, students, and policy makers in political science, urban planning, and civil engineering.

Stud - Architectures of Masculinity (Paperback): Joel Sanders Stud - Architectures of Masculinity (Paperback)
Joel Sanders
R977 Discovery Miles 9 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Originally published in 1996, Stud: Architectures of Masculinity is an interdisciplinary exploration of the active role architecture plays in the construction of male identity. Architects, artists, and theorists investigate how sexuality is constituted through the organization of materials, objects, and human subjects in actual space. This collection of essays and visual projects critically analyzes the spaces that we habitually take for granted but that quietly participates in the manufacturing of "maleness." Employing a variety of critical perspectives (feminism, "queer theory," deconstruction, and psychoanalysis), Stud's contributors reveal how masculinity, always an unstable construct, is coded in our environment. Stud also addresses the relationship between architecture and gay male sexuality, illustrating the resourceful ways that gay men have appropriated and reordered everyday public domains, from streets to sex clubs, in the formation of gay social space.

Probability Based High Temperature Engineering - Creep and Structural Fire Resistance (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Leo Razdolsky Probability Based High Temperature Engineering - Creep and Structural Fire Resistance (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Leo Razdolsky
R5,833 Discovery Miles 58 330 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume on structural fire resistance is for aerospace, structural, and fire prevention engineers; architects, and educators. It bridges the gap between prescriptive- and performance-based methods and simplifies very complex and comprehensive computer analyses to the point that the structural fire resistance and high temperature creep deformations will have a simple, approximate analytical expression that can be used in structural analysis and design. The book emphasizes methods of the theory of engineering creep (stress-strain diagrams) and mathematical operations quite distinct from those of solid mechanics absent high-temperature creep deformations, in particular the classical theory of elasticity and structural engineering. Dr. Razdolsky's previous books focused on methods of computing the ultimate structural design load to the different fire scenarios. The current work is devoted to the computing of the estimated ultimate resistance of the structure taking into account the effect of high temperature creep deformations. An essential resource for aerospace structural engineers who wish to improve their understanding of structure exposed to flare up temperatures and severe fires, the book also serves as a textbook for introductory courses in fire safety in civil or structural engineering programs, vital reading for the PhD students in aerospace fire protection and structural engineering, and a case study of a number of high-profile fires (the World Trade Center, Broadgate Phase 8, One Meridian Plaza; Mandarin Towers). Probability Based High Temperature Engineering: Creep and Structural Fire Resistance successfully bridges the information gap between aerospace, structural, and engineers; building inspectors, architects, and code officials.
