Bauteile und Verbindungen

Every building is composed of parts, or components, that may be organized in various ways.
For example, there are different ways to configure walls so that they perform their primary functions – bearing, dividing, and sheltering – in an optimal manner.
This book presents the most common load-bearing systems, such as plate, massive, and skeleton construction, and describes their impact on the structure as a whole. It explains how spaces can be vertically or horizontally connected and assembled into larger wholes. The individual elements, such as floor slabs, roofs, openings, and foundations, are described together with their functions and the various possibilities for connecting them.
The book goes beyond the wealth of possible detail to demonstrate the basic principles of detailing. Numerous specially prepared drawings set forth the principles of components and then illustrate them with reference to realized projects.

Jedes Gebäude besteht aus Teilen, dievielfältig organisiert werden können.
Wändeetwa lassen sichauf unterschiedliche Weise anordnen, um ihre Hauptfunktionen – Tragen, Trennen und Schützen – optimal wahrzunehmen.
Das Buch stelltdie gängigen Tragsysteme wie Scheiben-, Massiv- oder Skelettbauweise vor und zeigt deren Auswirkung auf das Gesamtgefüge. Es erklärt, wie Räume vertikal oder horizontal verbunden und zu einem Ganzen zusammengesetzt werden können. Die einzelnen Elemente wie Geschossdecken, Dächer, Öffnungen oder Fundamente werdenin ihren Funktionen und mit ihren Verbindungsmöglichkeiten dargestellt.
DasBuch zeigt hinter der Fülle der möglichen Details die Prinzipien der Detaillierung. Zahlreiche, eigensangefertigte Zeichnungen erklären die Prinzipien der Bauteile und verdeutlichen diese dannan realisiertenProjekten.
