The document provides information on curtain walls, including what they are, common materials used like aluminum and glass, typical structural elements, and advantages and disadvantages. It discusses two case studies - the Hallidie Building in California from 1917, one of the earliest uses of a glass curtain wall, and the Lever House in New York from 1951, an influential early glass skyscraper. Key points covered include how curtain walls are non-load bearing but keep weather out, their lightweight aluminum framing, different installation methods, and benefits of natural lighting control and views.
Type IV or heavy timber construction uses large dimensional lumber for structural elements like columns, beams, floors and roofs to provide fire resistance. It was commonly used in the late 19th/early 20th century for industrial and commercial buildings. Key features include wood columns no less than 8 inches thick, plank floors at least 3 inches thick, and roof structures made of heavy timber. Fire resistance comes from limiting combustible materials and using thick wood that can withstand fire for extended periods before collapsing.
Type IV or heavy timber construction uses large dimensional lumber for structural elements like walls, floors, and roofs to provide fire resistance. It was commonly used in the late 19th/early 20th century for industrial and commercial buildings. Key features include wood columns no less than 8 inches thick, wood girders at least 6 inches thick, and floor/roof planks at least 2 inches thick. Interior walls are also fire-resistant. This construction type is beneficial as it is stable during early-stage fires and the large timber sizes allow it to burn longer before collapse compared to other materials like steel.
The document discusses different types of building construction and how understanding construction types can help firefighters determine a building's structural integrity and anticipate how a fire may progress. It outlines the five main types of construction according to NFPA 220 - Type I (fire resistive), Type II (non-combustible), Type III (ordinary), Type IV (heavy timber), and Type V (wood frame).

The document discusses heavy timber frame construction. It begins by providing background on the historical use of timber beams in buildings and the progression of timber frame construction techniques in Europe and North America. It then discusses some advantages of modern heavy timber construction, including its fire resistance properties due to the use of thick wood beams. The document outlines several precautions that must be taken with heavy timber construction, such as allowing for wood shrinkage and properly anchoring beams to prevent pulling away from walls. It also discusses bracing buildings for lateral forces and proper decking and roof anchoring.
Timber frame construction involves prefabricating wooden wall panels, flooring, and roof materials off-site and assembling them on-site onto a timber frame. This allows the inner shell of a building to be constructed from a timber structure for increased speed, quality, and sustainability compared to traditional on-site construction. The document outlines the multi-phase process, from engineering plans and factory production to assembly on foundations and completing the exterior. Advantages include faster construction, quality control, energy efficiency, design flexibility, and reduced costs.
Good buildings make and are made by their settings, and they are appropriately different in different locations. Climate, culture, topography and materials have helped create regional architectural languages that seem curiously right for their locations and for all times.

When Facades Kill: A question of extreme flammabilityTerri Meyer Boake
The document summarizes several recent high-rise building fires where aluminum composite panels with flammable cores were the primary cladding material. These fires spread rapidly up the buildings within 15 minutes, endangering residents. The fires were fueled by deviations from traditional non-combustible building materials and outdated fire safety practices. There is confusion around product labeling and standards regarding the fire resistance of aluminum composite panel systems and their cores.
1. Material is a key factor in any product and refers to ingredients used to form a particular product. Materials used in construction are called building materials.
2. Building materials need to be studied based on their properties, types of work, availability, and how they change over time. Their physical, mechanical, chemical, and other properties are important to consider.
3. Selection of building materials depends on their ability to meet service, fabrication, economic, and environmental requirements. Materials must be durable, strong, easily available, affordable, and cause minimal pollution.
This document discusses pile foundations. Piles are structural members made of materials like steel, concrete, or timber that are driven into the ground to support buildings on weak soils. There are two main types of piles: end bearing piles that extend to bedrock, and friction piles that gain support through friction in the soil when no bedrock is present. Pile caps are used to distribute loads from the structure to multiple piles. Reinforcement in the pile cap resists tensile and shear forces. The document provides schematics and comparisons of different pile foundation construction methods.
