土木工程概论 Introduction to Civil Engineering 第四章 建筑工程 Chapter 4 Building Engineering

Building Engineering What is Building Engineering? Building Engineering is an interdisciplinary program that draws upon the expertise of civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering, as well as architecture. As a building engineer you acquire knowledge in the planning, design, construction, operation, renovation, and maintenance of buildings, together with an understanding of their impact on the surrounding environment. The building engineer explores all phases of the life cycle of a building and develops an appreciation of the building as an advanced technological system. Problems are identified and appropriate solutions found to improve the performance of the building in areas such as the following: energy efficiency, indoor air quality, construction management, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and control systems, advanced building materials, building envelope, earthquake resistance, wind effects on buildings, computer- aided design, passive solar engineering, and lighting and acoustics.

Walls: Walls are vertical members forming an enclosure. They may be required to carry loads of floors, roofs and wall above, apart from its own weight. Walls are required to keep out rain, heat and sound. Strength of walls: The strength of walls depend upon the strength of building block, the strength of mortar, height- thickness ratio of wall, size of masonry block, and the eccentricity of loading and workmanship.

Building Engineering Stone masonry is primarily of three types:

Building Engineering Doors: The main purposes of a door are to provide security and privacy. Doors should exclude rain, be fire resistant, and should provide thermal and sound insulation which is durable and easy to operate. The type of doors:

Building Engineering Windows: Windows are placed to provide light and ventilation in the building. The type of windows:

Building Engineering Roofs: The structure provided at the uppermost part of the building to act as a cover against heat, rain and wind is called roof. The roof forms:

Building Engineering floors: A horizontal surface at the ground level or at higher storey levels where day to day living takes place is called a floor. The type of floors
