Flanking transmission in three different lightweight wooden building types
Three different Swedish lightweight multistory buildings have been investigated with respect to the flanking transmission over an inner wall. Among the buildings analysed, one of them had been used by residents for three years and the two other were only just erected and being built respectively. A tapping machine and a Japanese ball were used as excitation sources so as to produce vibrations i...
متن کاملComparison of Three Bed Bug Management Strategies in a Low-Income Apartment Building
Bed bug (Cimex lectularius L.) infestations are currently controlled by a variety of non-chemical and chemical methods. There have been few studies on the comparative effectiveness of these control techniques. We evaluated three bed bug management strategies in an apartment building: (1) non-chemical methods only (n = 9); (2) insecticides only (n = 6); and (3) integrated pest management includi...
متن کاملPathogen cross-transmission via building sanitary plumbing systems in a full scale pilot test-rig
The WHO Consensus Document on the epidemiology of the SARS epidemic in 2003, included a report on a concentrated outbreak in one Hong Kong housing block which was considered a 'super-spreading event'. The WHO report conjectured that the sanitary plumbing system was one transmission route for the virus. Empty U-traps allowed the aerosolised virus to enter households from the sewerage system. No ...
متن کاملScotia Place – 12 story apartment building A case study of high-rise construction using wood and steel
This paper describes the design of a 12-story apartment building on a single story basement, which has wood floor diaphragms, and structural steel gravity and lateral load resisting systems. The design objective was to develop the most cost-effective structural system while meeting building functionality goals and adhering to code requirements. The main structural and non-structural design issu...
متن کاملLessons from a Full Scale Fire Test
This paper draws together some important lessons from a compartment fire test conducted by BRE in the full-scale eight storey steel building at Cardington. The experiment is briefly described, and the main structural observations are highlighted. A numerical structural model of the fire compartment, using the nonlinear analysis program ADAPTIC, is then discussed. The numerical analysis employs ...
