Book Description
This thesis is a review of research on Hollow core floors in New Zealand. It looks at the research on hollow core floors, from 1990s onwards, and traces the understanding of the its performance. Each experiment from these researches were investigated for a pattern among the base variables. However, the research conducted so far, has enough variability among them that an overarching conclusion on performance of Hollow core floors is not reached. With the building boom of the 1980s, the push for multi-story structures made use of precast concrete frame elements ubiquitous. Hollow core floor elements were designed to behave as a simply supported system thought to fail by losing its vertical support and have no significant seismic interaction. However, the Northridge Earthquake 1994 proved otherwise--hollow core floors failed because of a different mechanism. This failure mechanism was reproduced by Matthews (2004) in a super-assembly test. The principal damage was from the relative rotation between the support beam and the hollow core unit as well as the elongation of connection to the support beam as assumed by previous research. This evoked research of hollow core floor connections and from that research various connections details were proposed. The research moved along two paths--first to understand the behavior (and ultimately retrofit) hollow core connection details of the 1980s and 1990s (a typical connection), and second to propose new connection details for new construction. Lindsay (2004) and MacPherson (2005) conducted a super-assembly test on connection details proposed by NZS 3101:1995 Amendment 3. These new connection details performed much better than the existing connection details. Bull and Matthews (2004) proposed and conducted research on the connection of a hollow core floor slab to the support beam in a sub-assembly test. The sub-assembly test successfully recreated the major failure modes of the super-assembly test. The sub-assembly test was then used by researchers Liew (2004), MacPherson (2005), Jensen (2006), and Woods (2008) to investigate the performance of hollow core floor slabs with varying connection details. This research added to the understanding of hollow core behavior; however, many failure mechanisms were not well understood. The hollow core flooring system was not 'tested' by the Christchurch Earthquake. Only minor damage was seen in hollow core flooring units. However, much damage was seen in hollow core flooring systems in the Kaikoura Earthquake. Most of the damage was either reproduced in the lab or predicted by 2D analytical studies. However, some of the damage seen had not been envisioned and this damage needs to be understood. Overall, it was not possible to draw an overarching conclusion from the existing body of NZ research because a) each experiment used different values for the basic variable, do direct comparison was impossible, b) no experiments were repeated, and c) no analytical framework was used in experimental design.

Book Description
This guide to precast prestressed concrete (PSC) introduces and applies principles for the design of PSC slabs, thermal slabs, beam and block flooring and main beams, including (where appropriate) cantilevers, and composite and continuous construction. The book provides numerous worked examples for a wide range of PSC elements and covers the innovative use of PSC on several projects in the UK over the past ten years, drawing on the authors' first-hand experience in the design and manufacture of special products. The contents are in line with latest revisions of the Eurocodes and European Product Standards. Precast Prestressed Concrete for Building Structures is ideal for consulting structural engineers, clients, PSC manufacturers, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students, both as a guide and a textbook.

Book Description
The detailed, highly illustrated, comprehensive guide to architectural working drawings The Professional Practice of Architectural Working Drawings is a complete guide to the skills you need to create a set of drawings that clearly and effectively communicate your design. Covering everything from site, floor, framing, and foundation plans to building sections and elevations, this book presents crucial concepts and real-world techniques architects rely on every day. You'll learn the standards, customs, regulations, and symbols, alongside computer-generated drawings, 3D modeling, Building Information Modeling, and other architectural technology. This new fifth edition includes updated information on sustainability concepts, layering systems in line with AIA standards, deeper explorations of dimensioning, more sample ADA drawings, and a new selection of case studies that offer a real-world glimpse into how these topics relate to the architect's everyday work. Hundreds of drawings demonstrate important skills and concepts, and online ancillary materials offer a robust set of resources to students and instructors. Architectural drawings must be precise, accurate, and complete; they must follow certain standards that make them universally understood in the proper context. This book teaches you how to produce professional-level drawings that leave no room for questions or confusion. Create architectural drawings that effectively communicate your design Learn techniques used in both residential and light commercial projects Investigate BIM, 3D modeling, and other architectural technologies Understand dimensioning, sustainability, ADA standards, and more Architects use drawings as a second language, to effectively communicate ideas to clients, contractors, builders, and other design professionals throughout all stages of the project. The Professional Practice of Architectural Working Drawings teaches you how to become fluent in the visual language of architecture, to communicate more effectively with all project stakeholders.

Book Description
Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete IX The highly successful International Conference series on Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete is a major forum for researchers, practitioners, and engineers to share and discuss their research, practical experience and innovations related to composite constructions in steel and concrete. Composite Construction is a key consideration in the design of buildings and infrastructure. Significant advances in research and development have increased the knowledge of the structural performance of composite structures. Some areas are becoming well understood and implemented in the design practice, codes and standards worldwide, while others like, e.g., application of high-performance materials or dismountable and reusable composite members need further studies; trends that are reflected by the conference papers. The 62 contributions contained in this book cover a wide variety of topics, including composite beams, composite columns, composite decks, joints, shear connections, fire behavior, seismic behavior, fatigue and fracture, codification, composite bridges, innovative hybrid structures, numerical investigations and practical applications. The Papers are peer-reviewed by the Scientific Board and may be adapted based on the outcome of the discussions during the conference. This book therefore summarizes the state-of-the-art in composite construction worldwide, as presented at the 9th International Conference on Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete hosted by the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, University of Stuttgart, RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau and University of Luxembourg, representing the work of authors from 18 countries.
