Air Permeability Sensing Technology and Standards for Tall Buildings

(Issue of a magazine 4/2012, page 102)

Most complaints, received by construction and scientific engineering companies from residents of all buildings primarily concern the indoor air quality. This is the most significant problem even in comparison with the deterioration of the main structure over the years. In the cold climate polluted air from the garage and the roadway gets into the building if the mechanical barrier systems are not hermetic enough to stop it. But even if ventilating systems don’t operate in difficult weather conditions or emergency the air from the garage below the building can still get in, which will worsen its quality.

Transparent on Translucent

(Issue of a magazine 3/2012, page 82)

For many years engineers of the production and design department “Aluterra SK” Ltd. have accumulated an experience aimed at solving tasks related to the architectural and building design of facades as complex engineering systems functioning as envelope of buildings on the high modern level.

Dip Angle of Capital Gate

(Issue of a magazine 3/2012, page 86)

Throughout history, iconic architecture and exhibitions have had a strong link. Many years ago, iconic structures such as Paris’ Eiffel Tower were built as visual symbols of exhibitions. In 2005, ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company) began to build a new state-of-the-art exhibition centre which would be the largest in the Gulf region, and provide world class facilities for live events to flourish in Abu Dhabi.

Application of Aluminums Profile in Lightning Engineering

(Issue of a magazine 3/2012, page 94)

The aluminium profile for LED application has already obtained a wide spread in Europe and the USA . The Russian LED market is behind the western in whole and it is possible to say that it is under formation. However, a trend to apply the aluminium profile in the LED engineering is obvious like a development of the LED market.

Optimal Geometric Configuration and Stiffness Distribution for Tall Building Structures

(Issue of a magazine 3/2012, page 96)

Tall buildings are constructed in major cities throughout the world today due to their economic benefits in dense urban land use and significant international symbolic power. Because of their enormous scale, tall buildings are built with an abundant amount of resources. This paper investigates optimal geometric configurations and lateral stiffness distributions of today’s prevalent structural systems for tall buildings, which will lead to design and construction of tall buildings with less amount of structural materials.

Errors in Mounting of Window and Door Structure

(Issue of a magazine 2/2012, page 100)

In the last issue we told you about some production nuances of window and door structures with aluminium profile. But production of the product is only a half of work. It is necessary to supply it in object safely and install correctly.

Prospective Composite

(Issue of a magazine 2/2012, page 102)

The erection of tall buildings stakes on a time reduction, considerable reduction of weight, perfection of concrete quality for skyscrapers. It requires applying new technologies and materials. In accordance with the world community’s opinion, one of the most prospective products is a fibre being a concrete addition. Builders watch a composite reinforcement which would permit to considerably reduce a weight of the concrete structure.

Reliability and Durability

(Issue of a magazine 2/2012, page 104)

“TATPROF ” JSC already for 20 years has been working at the market of aluminum profiles and structures.The company produces a wide range of high quality aluminum profile and also engaged in their development, production, promotion and sale.

Expert Advice

(Issue of a magazine 1/2012, page 96)

In a previous article we discussed the modern buildings, constructed of glass and aluminum, and most importantly there were raised a number of problems that exist in the construction of the translucent designs. Here I would like to share some knowledge and experience to provide effective assistance in improving the manufacturing quality of aluminum structures.

Carbon Fiber Skyscrapers

(Issue of a magazine 1/2012, page 98)

Skyscrapers of the future in some sense are a kind of cosmic space elevators. Their height continues to grow and the design becomes more and more original. In doing so these buildings won’t only be more seismically and winds resistant, but the most important thing – they will be absolutely safe for its inhabitants. One of the tools that allow achieving these effects are structural materials of CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic).
