Caspe, Marc S. – Amer Sch Univ, 1970
How a system of seismic isolation works to relieve superstructures of their earthquake resisting function at cost savings. (KJ)
Descriptors: Building Design, Civil Engineering, Structural Building Systems
National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa (Ontario). Div. of Building Research. – 1968
One hundred different topics related to the technical aspects of building design and construction are discussed. The major areas of discussion are--(1) the effects of climate on building materials, (2) site and soil analysis, (3) acoustical and thermal design considerations, (4) fire and building design, (5) structural analysis and design, and (6)…

New Jersey State Dept. of Higher Education, Trenton. – 1972
The major special feature of a planned college building is the application of Academic Building System (ABS) planning concepts to the building design and construction. The primary feature of this approach is total future flexibility of general academic space by use of movable and compatible subsystems. These subsystems appear in the form of…

Crossey, R. E. – 1969
Building design, planning, and construction programing for modular decentralized mechanical building systems are outlined in terms of costs, performance, expansion and flexibility. Design strategy, approach, and guidelines for implementing such systems for buildings are suggested, with emphasis on mechanical equipment and building element…

Building Research, 1966
Comprehensive building systems are the result of industry's search for markets, clients' desire for shorter hours and lower costs, and the growing complexity of building technology which requires the architect to depend on industry for research and development. Certain questions are raised by this trend. Will industry dominate architecture? Can…

Edmunds, Jane – Consulting Engineer, 1972
Reviews attack on fire safety in high rise buildings made by a group of experts representing the iron and steel industry at a recent conference. According to one expert, fire problems are people oriented, which calls for emphasis on fire prevention rather than reliance on fire suppression and for fire pretection to be built into a structure.…

Architectural Record, 1973
Two campus structures -- a student-faculty center at the University of Massachusetts and a technological complex at New York University -- and a downtown high-rise office building in Cleveland all have precast panel walls, which play a major role in the mechanical and electrical distribution systems.

Evans, Ben H. – 1962
Research development of a construction system is detailed in terms of--(1) design and analysis, (2) construction methods, (3) testing, (4) cost analysis, and (5) architectural potentials. The system described permits construction of usual shapes without the use of conventional concrete formwork. The concrete involves development of a structural…

Boice, John R., Ed. – 1969
BSIC has selected data for inclusion, and a method of presentation that-- (1) provides preliminary data, in comparable form, about all relevant systems building products, (2) surveys within the limits imposed, the problems of compatibility between subsystem components and to identify components which are compatible with one another, (3) identifies…

Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst., Troy, NY. Center for Architectural Research. – 1972
School districts sometimes need to add relatively small increments of high quality educational space to their existing physical facilities. For some of these situations, the portable or relocatable classroom is the answer; in other cases, the district needs different or more permanent space--quickly. This document comprises six charts that present…
