Mechanical roomThe mechanical rooms contain many types of equipment, including boilers, chillers, air handling unit(AHU) systems, ductwork and piping, valves, security devices, expansion tanks, pumps and fans.Typically these rooms are located within or outside the building, or are split between inside and outside ofthe building. When located inside, they are typically situated either in the basement or on the roof. Adesign penthouse can be used as a screen for the mechanical room to improve the overall aesthetics of thebuilding while maintaining functionality and providing protection from the effects of

to specific geometric element, that element is thenused as input for subsequent operations. In this example. the curve parameter is “piped” into theC (curve) input of the “offset curve” operator. The offset distance input D is driven by a numberslider. The “offset curve” icon output C generates a curve that is offset the D distance set by theuser with the number slider. The “offset curve” operator output C is then piped into the B (inputgeometry) parameter of the “extrude curve” operator. The second input parameter on the“extrude curve” operator is D, which is both direction and distance. A Z-direction vectorparameter is piped into D to establish the direction. The same number slider used to determinethe offset distance is piped into the Z

through and around the building to gain a betterperspective on the building design and construction. Figure 1: EWB Unit 5 a) Plan b) ElevationStudent Buidling Model Hand CalculationsThe first exercise for the students was to create a very simple model to capture the buildingbehavior, specifically the building fundamental frequency in the short direction. The purpose ofthis exercise was to get the students to explore the building lateral system on a macro level andobtain a ballpark estimate to guide further modeling. Students have the tendancy to start with fartoo detailed models and often continue to increase the level of complexity. In doing so, studentsoften bypass conceptualizing the basic structural behavior. As a

: The most common system used in the late 1800s and early 1900s consisted of a roof tank(s) combined with constant-speed pumps that operated by a level switch in the tank. When the level in the tank would approach a pre-determined height, the pumps would either turn on to fill the tank(s) or turn off when the tank is full (Larson, 2007). Water storage was also required for fire protection, and tanks provided for both needs. The water is distributed using gravity downfeed arrangement. b. Multiple zones: High zone tank and low zone tank: If multiple zones were required, multiple tanks were used. An air gap creates a pressure break between the upper and lower zones. The tanks must be

This paper describes a one credit hour, semester long, project undertaken byMArch students alongside a required course in Structural Engineering Design. Studentsundertook conceptual design of pedestrian bridges. After a class wide study of innovativeprecedents, they worked in small groups and were required to choose and analyze a site,and propose an initial structural scheme. A minimum clear span was required to pushmore ambitious spanning strategies. They then performed a Finite Element Analysis andsized all the primary structural members of the bridge. The

architectural programs)IntroductionIt is interesting to note that the pedagogic approaches of teaching structural principles inarchitectural programs and in civil engineering disciplines are almost identical and haveremained relatively unchanged for the past few decades. Lectures are generally conducted usingcalculation-intensive platforms and the role of the students in the lecture is relatively limited, andthus they remain in a passive mode of learning throughout the classes. A mathematical approachis unquestionably the most exact, effective and economical way in engineering problem solvingas well as in engineering education. However, based on my experiences as a structures professorin architectural programs, this white-board-only teaching
