Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

Beton binalar konusunda uzmanlaşmış bir inşaat firması, sürdürülebilir bir ticari bina inşa etti. 
Betonarme binaya dahil edilen çeşitli sürdürülebilir uygulamalar arasında, çevresinde daha fazla açık alan oluşturmak için binanın altında beton bir park alanı sağlanması yer alıyor.
Açık alanların bazı bölümlerinde, yağmur suyunun içlerinden akmasına izin veren geçirgen beton finişer blokları kullanılır.
Yağmur suyu, yeniden kullanılabileceği bir yeraltı beton sarnıcında toplanır ve depolanır, bu da su verimli inşaatı kolaylaştırır.
Bölgesel malzemeler ve cüruflu çimento, uçucu kül ve geri dönüştürülmüş agregaların bir kısmı ile hazır betonun kullanılması, malzeme maliyetinden tasarruf sağlar.
Geri dönüştürülmüş çelikten yapılmış takviyelerin dahil edilmesi, malzeme geri kazanımına katkıda bulunur.
Kaplamalar kullanımını en aza indirmek için zeminler ve tavanlar brüt betondan yapılmıştır.
Güneş yansıtma indeksi yüksek beton çatı kaplama malzemesi ve yalıtımlı beton sistemleri kullanmak, iklimlendirme sistemlerine olan talebi azaltır.
Son olarak, binanın cephesinden çekirdeğine kadar küçük bir derinlik ve geniş kolonsuz mekanlar, doğal gün ışığının girişini en üst düzeye çıkararak binanın enerji verimliliğini artırır

tasarım Örneği: beton binalarda sürdürülebilirlik

İnşaat sektörü daha çevre dostu uygulamalara doğru ilerledikçe, betonun uyum sağlama yeteneği ve sürdürülebilir özelliklerini bir araya getirme kabiliyeti, onu daha yeşil bina çözümlerine doğru giden yolda kilit bir malzeme haline getiriyor. Ticari bir beton binada sürdürülebilirliği sağlamak için birden fazla yaklaşım vardır. Örneğin, binanın altına beton bir park alanı inşa edin, açık alanlarda geçirgen beton parke taşları kullanarak yeraltı sarnıcından yağmur suyu toplanmasını kolaylaştırın. Bu su daha sonra bahçe işlerinde yeniden kullanılarak su verimliliği artırılır. Ayrıca, bölgesel malzemelerden, cüruf çimentosundan, uçucu külden veya geri dönüştürülmüş agregalardan yapılmış hazır beton kullanmak malzeme maliyetlerini düşürür ve geri dönüştürülmüş çelikten yapılan takviyelerin hepsi malzeme geri kazanımını destekler.

Binanın kendisi için, duvarlar, zeminler ve tavanlar için brüt beton kullanmak boya ve kaplama ihtiyacını en aza indirir, böylece VOC emisyonlarını azaltır ve iç mekan hava kalitesini artırır. Dahası, betonun termal kütle özellikleri iç mekan sıcaklıklarını düzenlemek için kullanılabilir. Isı emilimini azaltarak klima taleplerini düşürmek için yüksek güneş yansıtıcılığa sahip beton çatı malzemeleri veya yalıtımlı beton sistemleri tavsiye edilir. Ayrıca, doğal gün ışığını en üst düzeye çıkarmak için büyük kolonsuz alanlar ve sığ zemin derinlikleri içeren tasarımlar beton binalarda mümkündür.

green features in a concrete building

A sustainable concrete building can use several green design features to save energy, water, and materials. Concrete is a flexible material for these choices, so it supports eco-friendly construction in commercial buildings.

One strategy is to place a concrete parking area under the building. Open areas can use pervious concrete paver blocks, which let rainwater pass through and collect in an underground cistern. That stored water can then be reused for gardening, which improves water efficiency.

Material choices also matter. Ready-mixed concrete made from regional materials can lower transport needs. Slag cement, fly ash, and recycled aggregates can reduce material costs, and recycled steel can be used for reinforcement so more materials are recovered.

The building itself can also improve indoor conditions. Exposed concrete for walls, floors, and ceilings reduces the need for paints and coatings, which helps lower VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, in indoor air. Concrete’s thermal mass can help regulate indoor temperature, and roofing with high solar reflectance or insulated concrete systems can reduce air conditioning demand by limiting heat absorption. Designs with large column-free spaces and shallow floor depths can also bring in more natural daylight.

design example: dimensioning of concrete masonry construction

design-example-dimensioning-of-concrete-masonry-construction

Sizing a Storeroom with Masonry Blocks

Sizing a storeroom with concrete masonry blocks starts with matching the wall plan to the actual block size and mortar joints. The site has concrete masonry units with a nominal size of 8 by 8 by 16 inches. The storeroom is planned with external dimensions of 12 feet long and 8 feet wide. The wall layout uses nine blocks along the length and six blocks along the width. Each block is actually 7 and 5/8 inches high and wide, and 15 and 5/8 inches long. A 3/8 inch mortar joint is included, so the...

design example: joints in concrete pavements

design-example-joints-in-concrete-pavements

Concrete Pavement Joint Types and Functions

Concrete pavement joints guide where slabs crack and help protect the pavement over time. They support the structural integrity and long life of the concrete by controlling movement and cracking. Contraction joints, also called control joints, are made by sawing a groove into the concrete soon after it hardens. This groove creates a weakened vertical plane. It encourages cracking at a planned location instead of letting cracks form randomly across the slab. Isolation joints are used where the...

design example: aggregate gradation

Choosing Well-Graded Sand for Concrete

Well-graded sand is important in concrete because aggregate choice affects strength, mix proportions, and cost. In concrete, sand is the common fine aggregate. When more than one sand source is available, its gradation often guides the selection. Gradation means the particle-size distribution of the sand. Engineers measure it with sieve analysis, which uses standard sieve sizes from 150 μm to 10 mm, from ASTM No. 100 to the 3/8 in. sieve. This test shows how much sand stays on each sieve and...

design example: managing concrete workability

design-example-managing-concrete-workability

Concrete Slump Test in Hot Weather

Concrete slump testing helps track workability during a raft foundation pour in hot weather. Workability means fresh concrete is easy to place, compact, and finish. In this example, the concrete had to be prepared for a large foundation, so keeping it workable was important for quality and durability. The first slump test showed low workability. The mix was losing water quickly, and the high temperature made the coarse aggregates hotter as well. To reduce that effect, the site engineer cooled...

design example: distributing reinforcements in concrete sections

design-example-distributing-reinforcements-in-concrete-sections

Sizing Steel Bars for a Concrete Beam

Sizing steel bars for a concrete beam helps meet a required reinforcement area. In reinforced concrete design, the steel must be arranged so the beam stays strong and uses material efficiently. This example uses a beam that needs a total steel cross-section of 4 square inches. The available bars in the example have a nominal diameter of 1.693 inches. Each bar provides a cross-sectional area of 2.25 square inches. When the engineer divides the required area by the area of one bar, the result is...
