Initially people lived in the open or under the canopies of trees or in caves or in any sheltering hole they could find comfort suiting to the prevailing weather conditions.

As the population multiplied they felt the need for creating shelters using broad leaves, tree branches, stones, soil, etc.

Gradually they developed building many varieties of structures as their needs increased.

The design of a building can influence it's impact on the environment in ways such as energy consumption, the types of materials used (natural and renewable, or do they off-gas toxic chemicals), the amount of natural landscape disturbed, the slope of the site can influence erosion, etc.

A low retaining wall outside, or inside , some use this term for a half-height room divider.

Slump check does not measure strength. It measures workability. Workability is the ease with which concrete can be placed in position.

Correct as far as it goes! Slump refers to workability however it is also, all telling as to the water content of the mix. The more water, the easier it will work! Problem becomes, too much water will increase the porosity making the concrete weak and susceptible to early degradation because contaminates are able to enter and commence corrosion of embedded steel.

A concrete that is easy to work that has a high water content [ more than .40 ] is known for shrinkage cracking due to rapid evaporation of the high water content. These cracks caused by rapid loss of water decrease compressive strength and invite early corrosion. This type of concrete also experiences, curling and ASR as well as efflorescence in a very short time period.

Strength is a function of correct hydration, slow internal curing and careful design of a mix for the intended service criteria and not a whole lot to do with slump!

zoning laws where building will be built, time in which project must be completed, and withing the budget of the client

that is called a hallway my stupid little friend. do you wacth Disney channel and the suit life of Zack and Cody.by:nicole :)=

(EDIT- it's best not to call someone stupid for asking a question. Also, I believe on a ship the passage is called a corridor or even simply a passageway. In any case, I don't think that Disney channel comedies are the best source for maritime knowledge.)

fyi there are only four states of matter such as solid,liquid, gas and plasma( highly charged ionized particles)

There are three bits to the Palais-Royal The main building is Government offices and not open to the public. The theatre is part of the Comédie-Française, and you have to buy a ticket. The gardens are open as a public park, and the apartments surrounding them are among the highest-rent properties in Paris. So only the gardens are open to the public, and entrance is free. Don't miss the Palis-Royal, it's lovely, one of my favourite places in Paris. For forty years of my pictures, see http://www.franceinpictures.com/palroy.htm

dude just attack the biulding with weapons (not anti-infantry)

The mixes of grades M5 M10, M15, M20 and M25 correspond approximately to the mix proportions (1:4:8), (1:3:6), (1:2:4), (1:1.5:3) and (1:1:2) respectively.

• As quoted from the USPS website: "You should install the mailbox with the bottom of the box at a vertical height of between 41-45 inches from the road surface."
• Your house number should be clearly marked on the mailbox with painted numbers or stickers no less than 1" high. The numbers should be placed on the side of the box visible to the carrier's regular approach. The mailbox may also have the owner's name.
• The box should be on the right-hand side of the road as traveled by the mail carrier.
• It should be located approximately 2' from the side of the road to ensure the carrier can get off the road enough to clear traffic.

Due to it's flexibility, it can sway up to about 5.5 feet.

In this M refer to Maximum compressive strength and 20 refer that concrete that with stand upto 20KN compressive strength.

Ones tat have the paint pelling off them.

They took place in a church and were preformed by priests, then they grew bigger and were moved out in an open air field, which later became a stage.

Cost of reconstruction: $700 million, on top of $1.2 billion total cost of already ongoing renovation of entire building.

Target completion: Spring 2003

Taipei 101 , Tuntex Sky Tower and the Presidential Office Building are famous buildings in the Republic of China.

Stack up toilet rolls and tape them together. For the minaret you can make a ball with a point out of plastiine and glue/tape the entire thing togwther. Thenyou could it with paper mache and paint on the details

One of Chicago�s famous buildings is the Auditorium Building. � Designed by the famous architects/engineer: Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan with a staff that included the young Frank Lloyd Wright. � The building was originally designed as a luxurious hotel and opera house/theatre. � Louis Sullivan designed its decoration and is considered to be one of the creators of Art Nouveau. � Dankmar Adler is considered to be one of the great engineers of the 19th century. He also designed the theater�s acoustics; so perfect that every word on its stage could be easily heard in the top gallery six stories up and a half block away. � Frank Lloyd Wright called the theatre �the greatest room for music and opera in the world.� Enrico Caruso sang there; Richard Strauss, Sergei Prokofiev, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov all conducted there. � It was the first new building in the world to be electrically lit and the first to be air conditioned via forced air directed over water and blocks of ice. In 1887, President Grover Cleveland laid the cornerstone and in 1889, President Benjamin Harrison dedicated the Auditorium. also the autorium theatere bulding was going to be torn down at one point, but it is built so strongly that it would cost more to tear it down then to buldi the bulding that was going to be built there. Architecture is to Chicago as Renaissance Painting is to Florence. Chicago is a veritable living museum of architecture. The Chicago Architecture foundation conducts hundreds of tours to remarkable buildings, even has an excellent river tour. Some of the styles represented are the Chicago School, International Style, Art Deco, Post Modern and Deconstructionist. The steel-girder skyscraper was invented in Chicago. Some of its most famous buildings are: Willis Tower (Sears Tower), The Prudential Building, The Aon Building, The Stone Container Building, Wrigley Field, Tribune Tower, The Rookery, The Santa Fe Building, The Art Institute, the Field Museum, The Wrigley Building, The John Hancock Building, Water Tower Place, The Pritzker Pavilion, and others too numerous to mention. There are very few buildings in the Chicago Loop that are without architectural significance. Check out the AIA Guide to Chicago (American Institute of Architects) which will give you details on almost any building in the city.
