In Reading 8, ching first introduced how the wall is waterproof, how to carry greater load, durability, wind and fire in the snowy day, choose the right building materials, build and heat the building correctly, and consider structural changes. , thermal expansion and contraction, exposure to the sun’s radiation and changes in the wind, and so on. And introduced flashing, a variety of flashing has different functions, as well as masonry veneer can also be used as curtain walls supported by steel or concrete frames. Also related to thermal insulation or materials, insulating roof or wall, mosture control ,vapor Retarder and ventilation.

In the book of ching, he talk about arch and lintelsI ，wood beam joist subfloor decking plank and beam. stell beam， open web joist metal decking concrete beam. learned about the different forms and center points of the arches, as well as the different forms of lintels.Discussed the wooden beams, an essential part, simple and fast, is needed during construction, and there are many types.And steel cones have different shapes – IWC, mechanical steel.There are many ways to weld together, reinforce with these irons, and concrete beams.
Ching explains in detail building materials such as wood and steel. The wood is malleable and compressible, shape-changing and lightweight, but the steel shows better results in terms of firmness and fire resistance. Steel with SWC and tubing three shapes. It also talks about different ways of building wood and steel
Chapter 8 mainly discusses brick masonry. Firstly, it tells the history of brick. Then it introduces the types of mortar, such as cement and lime mortar, composition, use, (involving 13 chapters) and chemical composition. Then it mainly discusses the advantages of many colors, different patterns, good adhesion and high adhesion.
According to ching reading, we know many materials in buildings, such as steel, stone, concrete wood.
Steel has many advantages, low cost, sturdiness and easy to change shape.
Stones are divided into many types, igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks. Used as a wall roof, etc.
Concrete is one of the most widely used materials, commonly known as cement, which needs to be used in conjunction with steel bars.
The wood is light and convenient to use, but it is necessary to prevent natural factors such as water and fire insects.
According to ching reading, we know about a building need plank, beams, slab,bearing wall and braced frame. The rigid frame is a frame with rigid joints capable of resisting changes in angular relationships. The shear wall is transferred lateral loads to foundation. Braced for diagonal members.The vertical span may be provided by load-bearing walls or columns and beams.This way buildings can withstand wind and earthquake or more disasters.These structures can be made of wood, cement, reinforced concrete, stone, etc.
When we build buildings, we must consider gravity, gravity causes objects to fall, we must also consider Newton’s third law of motion – for each force acting on the body, the body exerts the opposite size on the same line of action as the original force Force, this basically tells us that when we build a building, we must strike a balance between power. Structural elements must follow the basis of these rules. Structural force is any effect that causes changes in the shape or movement of the body. Structures like Coulms help support the weight of objects above it. We must know that these objects are strong, so they are not crushed or deformed by their own weight. The beams must be strong enough so that they do not fall into the load (bending stress) above them, and the arches must also be able to support them. The quality and ability to disperse gravity so they are not destroyed separately.
The system is a collection for a purpose, forming a more complex whole, buikding has many different types of systems, including machinery.
The concept system includes the definition, scale, proportion and organization of the interior space of the building; human activities of scale and dimensions; movement or path through the building; form, space, light, color, texture and pattern; and the natural environment and the built environment Relationship between.
The structure includes the foundation of the building as well as the columns, beams and load-bearing walls for support.
The outer casing is the roof, exterior walls, doors and windows of the building, and they all have their own use.
The mechanical system includes water supply for use, sewage treatment, waste removal and organic household waste, heating, ventilation and air conditioning to provide a comfortable environment for the occupants; and electrical systems to protect the power supply, such as lighting, security and communication systems .
The exit is used to escape the building in an emergency. Exports should be obvious and everyone can find them. For example, if one can’t find it, they should have at least two exits and more. This way people will not get lost or hurt. The export meets the following building requirements. Specific details should be considered when designing. For example, each exit has a distinct light sign that is fire-resistant and has a backup power source. When designing an exit, make sure that people can safely enter and exit when fires and other special conditions occur.
