Analysis on Dynamic Properties of Monolayer Cable Net for Point -supported Glass Facade

Monolayer cable net system for point - supported glass facade is a kind of flexible tension structures with relatively strong nonlinearity. Its stiffness greatly depends on the pretension in cables. Yet there are few literatures at present reported on its dynamic properties. The characteristic of modal analysis for flexible pre - stressed structures such as cable structures is expatiated herein. Corresponding program was developed to analyze two important factors such as pretension and geometric nonlinearity for dynamic behaviors of cable net herein. It is demonstrated that large errors are brought about by omitting nonlinearity. There exists apparent nonlinear relationship between vibration frequency and pretension in cables. The influence of pretension and geometric nonlinearity on the dynamic properties of cable net is in coordination with each other.

Color Lapse by Halo Retreat for Night Landscape Lighting

This paper focused on making use of color change to incarnate hierarchy of floodlighting of the building facade in landscape lighting. Color lapse by halo retreat is a good method to reach this goal. The projection light source was chosen on the principle of building exterior color coordination. According to the computing method for chroma coordinates of object color, the magnitude of three stimulus values after reflection by external wall surface and the chroma coordinates were calculated. The purpose of this paper is to take account of the influence of difference between projecting light and reflecting light on external wall surface. At the same time, an approximating computing method is recommended, that is, first figure out the chroma coordinates of two points--the top and bottom points in vertical line of the building and then readjust the location of casting light lamp and lighting fitting or renewal the light source. Then let the chroma coordinate of ever point on the vertical line settle in or be near the line connecting the two points of chroma coordinates on CIE 1931 Chroma chart. It would yield good results due to the color lapse by halo retreat.     

Plan Design Strategy for Isolated House Based on Predominance Score

Plan design of residential building is usually based on intuition,so there are often shortcomings in room orientation,natural lighting,ventilation and energy saving,causing some problems in its function.A concept of Predominance Score is suggested for different locations of the building according to the room orientation,natural lighting,ventilation and energy saving.Based on the low-density characteristics of isolated house,the suggested Predominance Score(PS) is assigned to each specific zone based on room orientation,amount of natural lighting sources and number of inner walls etc.Then,the plan design is carried out according to the order of PS.This strategy will help architects to make decision on technical analysis rather than on intuition.A case study shows the validation of the suggested strategy.

Implementation of Green Building Design Strategies Needs Whole Process Control and Supervision

Whether the intention of green building design can be realized in buildings needs to be verified in practice.This study firstly investigates the basic climate conditions including the monthly average temperatures,humidity,wind directions,and wind speeds in Sydney,Australia,based on which it introduces some passive design features such as natural ventilation,thermal mass,natural lighting and shading control of an educational and office building in the University of New South Wales.Then,it reviews some problems identified from the post-occupancy stage of the building and discusses the strategies to solve the problems.Finally,it suggests that to implement the design intentions and ensure the expected performance of green buildings,attentions should be paid to supervise and direct implementation of the green design strategies and techniques in the whole process(from preliminary design,working drawing design,construction,to the occupancy stage) of building practice.

Application of Facade Decorative Arts of Traditional Architecture in Archaistic Blocks:A Case Study of Shengjinta Food Street in Nanchang City

Architectural decoration is a key demonstration of architectural styles, and traditional Chinese architectural forms originating from diversified architectural decorative arts. This paper explored facade decorative art of traditional architecture from the perspectives of carving art decoration, roof type, stylobate and railing, window and door type, and ground pavement, and also elaborated artistic methods of different forms in each aspect. On the basis of investigating Shengjinta historic and archaistic block, the paper also introduced application of decorative arts, and provided references for applying facade decorative arts of traditional architecture in the future archaistic blocks.     

Intelligent Building Design--A Systematic Integration of Architecture and Technology

The intelligent building design needs a total new method. It is an integration of electronic technology and other related technologies such as structure, system, service and management ones. As for the architecture design itself, it should include the infrastructure accommodating telecommunication, day lighting, lighting and HVAC systems. At the same time, the security, fire safety and operation controls should be considered as well.     

On Green Lighting Planning and Design of the City

The energy-conserving environmental protection and the culture characteristic protection are two themes to the sustainable development of modern city,and the green lighting project is an important condition to ensure sustainable development of the city.But now,in some lighting projects the energy consumption and economy power capability were ignored;some design tactics are identical and in the green lighting projects the whole lighting of the city was not considered,which cause the crisis of losing the city characteristic.This paper proposes the green view of city lighting planning,and points out that the energy conservation,environmental protection,economic feasibility and culture characteristic must be considered synthetically in the city green lighting planning and design to guarantee sustainable development of the city.

Study of Transform between Qualitative Analysis and Quantitative Analysis in Lighting Engineering

In order to establish the relationship between subjective sense and physical measurement in lighting engineering, the qualitative and quantitative analyses are connected through generalized Weber - Fechner Law. For practical application problems of lighting engineering, a proximate function of subjective sense deduced from physical measurement is brought forward. The experiment in advertising lighting shows that the result of this function is more exact and more closely to the practice than others. Using this proximate function, the illumination level, corresponding to given satisfaction level, can be found. In other words, the physical measurement corresponding to given subjective sense can be evaluated by using this proximate function, accordingly the design of lighting project can be directed reasonably.

Computer Aided Analysis Tool for Building Energy Efficiency in Conceptual Design Stage

Conceptual design is one of the most important stages in building design, and energy efficiency analysis is one of the key issues in building conceptual design stage. The existing energy efficiency analysis methods and tools require inputing large number of parameters. However, the detail information of most parameters is not identified at the stage of conceptual design. And the current prevailing energy consumption simulation methods and tools are not appropriate at the stage of conceptual design. The proposed method can be used to compare the energy efficiency of multi strategies at the conceptual design phase. Minimum data were required to be input for achieving the optimal building design scheme. The method can provide a solution to the gap between the rapid building design cycle and the sustainable development demand in China.
