Logbook week 8

•  The materials for this par/cular sec/on of the building have been chosen for their durability and it is hoped they will last for a very long /me.

•  You can see in photo 3 a close up of the roof sec/on displayed in photos 1 and 2. The materials used include plywood cladding, structural steel, /mber and an insect screen.

WINDOWS

Sketch 2, Zoe Brain, (2014)


Sketch 1 shows a low e (emicity) glass system. This system absorbs radiant energy and doesn’t absorb radiate infrared energy as much as normal float glass, thus it is a more efficient window system.

You can see in sketch 2 a normal window system from top (at the lintel) to the boSom (sill detail).

In sketch 3 you can see all the parts of the raw building however you don’t see what it looks like when a window is installed so I’ve shown that in sketch 5, where you can see the use of /mber placed between the lintel and the window frame. This is so the force doesn’t transfer into the window but rather the wood surrounding it-‐ otherwise this would compress and thus smash the window. In sketch 6 you can see what a window and it’s frame looks like from a side view.

Above is a detailed sketch of the produc/on of glass. The ingredients of glass are as follows: c.73% Former (silica) c.14% Fluxes (Soda ash/Potash/Lithium Carbonate) c. 9% Stabilisers (Limestone/Alumina/Magnesia). To the side is sketch ** you can see laminated glass-‐ this has a plas/c interlayer in between it so that if it smashed it doesn’t shaSer. You can see the difference between crystal and glass in sketch **. Glass has a flowing structure because it is a very slow moving liquid (at room temperature).

Aluminium doors are very common in office secngs however we tend to mostly use /mber frames for doors. Above is a sketch of a door and its different aspects.

Doors

Therefore something is elas/c if it springs back and plas/c if it doesn’t. Generally with small force /mber can be classed as elas/c but as soon as you increase it it becomes more of a plas/c type shape if not completely deformed.
