5、 the steel framework.The Eiffel Tower,984 feet(300 meters)high,was the tallest structure built by man and was not surpassed until 40 years later by a series of Americanskyscrapers.Bessemer converter：贝色明转炉；Galerie des Machines：机械馆；摩天大厦的存在归功于19世纪的两大发明：钢结构和载人电梯。钢结构作为建筑材料起源于1885年贝色麦转炉法的推广。Gustave Eiffel
6、在法国率先使用了钢结构。他为1889年巴黎博览设计的机械馆和铁塔展现了钢结构的轻巧。埃菲尔铁塔高984英尺（300米），是当时最高的建筑，直到40年后，才被美国的一系列摩天大楼超过了它的高度。Alexandre Gustave Eiffel(18321923)was a French engineer and architect and a specialist of metallic structures.He is famous for designing the Eiffel Tower,built for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris,F

10、r in 1889 alone.The tower quickly became a tourist attraction and brought large amounts of money into Frances economy.After originally being thought of as an eyesore,the tower quickly became a national symbol of France and brought a sense of pride to the people who live there.In 1910 Gustave Eiffel
11、accomplished extraordinary outcomes in determining the wind resistance of a flat plate;Gustave used the Eiffel Tower as his test platform.Eiffel Tower under construction in July 1888 The first elevator was installed by Elisha Otis in a department store in New York in 1857.In 1889,Eiffel installed th

14、s.This construction is essentially a post and lintel type,and it is still used in frame construction for houses.Bearing-wall construction limited the height of buildings because of the enormous wall thickness required;for instance,the 16-story Monadnock Building built in the 1880s in Chicago had wal

16、1907)supported floors on cast-iron columns to form a cage-like construction.Skeleton construction,consisting of steel beams and columns,was first used in 1889.As a consequence of skeleton construction,the enclosing walls become a“curtain wall”rather than serving a supporting function.Masonry was the
17、 curtain wall material until the 1930s,when light metal and glass curtain walls were used.After the introduction of the steel skeleton,the height ofcast-iron：k:stain 铸铁；masonry meisnri ：砖石、砌体；buildings continued to increase rapidly.William Le Baron Jenney芝加哥学派（Chicago School 18831893 高层、铁框架、横向大窗、简单）
18、的创始人。William Le Baron Jenney(1832-1907)William Le Baron Jenney is a civil engineering,an architect.He is known as the Father of the American Skyscraper.代表作品：1、迪瑞威曼住宅 Deere-Wiman House2、家庭保险大楼 Home Insurance Building All tall buildings were built with a skeleton of steel until World War II.After the
19、war,the shortage of steel and the improved quality of concrete led to tall buildings being built of reinforced concrete.Marina Towers(1962)in Chicago is the tallest concrete building in the United States;its height-588feet(179 metes)-is exceeded by the 650-foot(198-meter)Post Office Tower in London
20、and by other towers.reinforced concrete：钢筋混凝土；二战以前，所有的高层建筑都是采用钢结构。战后，钢材的短缺以及混凝土质量的发展，产生了钢筋混凝土高层建筑。芝加哥的Marina Towers(1962)是美国最高的混凝土建筑，高588英尺，后来伦敦650英尺高的Post Office Tower以及其他塔式建筑超过了他的高度。Marina Towers.61层,有城中之城之称，又被称为Marina City。The architecture combines the function of an office block with the functio
21、n of a radio tower,producing a structure which is strangely thinner in the middle than at the top and bottom.This wasp waist effect has always had style and may look futuristic in some ways,but at the time it was built in the 1960s*it was an astonishing futuristic architectural statement.A change in
22、 attitude about skyscraper construction has brought a return to the use of the bearing wall.In New York City,the Columbia Broadcasting System Building,designed by Eero Saarinen in 1962,has a perimeter wall consisting of 5-foot(1.5-meter)wide concrete columns spaced 10feet(3 meters)from column center
23、 to center.This perimeter wall,in effect,constitutes a bearing wall.One reason for this trend is that stiffness against the action of wind can be economically obtained by using the walls of the building as a tube;the World Trade Center buildings are another example of this tube approach.In contrast,
24、rigid frames or vertical trusses are usuallyprovided to give lateral stability.Columbia Broadcasting System Building：哥伦比亚广播公司大楼；perimeter wall：primit 围墙；bearing wall：承重墙；stiffness：刚度；rigid frames：刚架；truss:trs 桁架；lateral stability：侧向稳定性；而后，人们摩天大楼的结构形式，有了不同的看法，又回归到采用墙承重。1962年，由Eero Saarinen设计的在纽约建成的哥伦
25、比亚广播大厦，5英尺宽、间距为10英尺的混凝土柱子构成了一个环形墙。这种环形墙实际上组成了一个承重墙。产生这种趋势，是因为将建筑的墙体作为一个筒体，其刚度可以非常经济地抵抗风荷载。世贸大厦是另一个采用这种方式的例子。相比之下，刚架或者垂直桁架常用来保证侧向稳定性。Eero Saarinen(沙里宁)：(August 20,1910,in Kirkkonummi,Finland September 1,1961,Ann Arbor,Michigan,United States)was a Finnish American architect and product designer of the
26、 20th century famous for varying his style according to the demands of the project:simple,sweeping（making an important difference to something）,arching structural curves or machine-like rationalism.杰斐逊国家纪念碑 “城市是一本打开的书，从中可以看到它的抱负。”“让我看看你的城市，我就能说出这个城市居民在文化上追求的是什么。”Eero Saarinen(E沙里宁)：Skin.The skin of
27、a building consist of both transparent elements(windows)and opaque elements(walls).Windows are traditionally glass,although plastics are being used,especially in schools where breakage creates a maintenance problem.The wall elements,which are used to cover the structure and are supported by it,are b
28、uilt of a variety of materials:brick,precast concrete,stone,opaque glass,plastics,steel,and aluminum.Wood is used mainly in house construction;it is not generally used for commercial,industrial,or public buildings becauseof the fire hazard.transparent trnsprnt ：透明的；element：构件；opaque upeik ：不透明的；main
29、tenance meintinns ：维护；precast：预制的；aluminum .ljuminim:铝；hazard hzd ：冒险,危险,危害；外壳。建筑的表层由透明的（窗户）和不透明的（墙）组成。窗户传统上采用玻璃，尽管有时也采用塑料，特别是在学校因为破碎而产生维护问题的情况下。墙体是用来围护和支撑结构用的，其材料很多有：砖，预制混凝土，石材，透明的玻璃、塑料还有铝等。木材是重要的房屋建筑材料，由于火灾危险很少用于商业、工业或公共建筑中。Floors.The construction of the floors in a building depends on the basic s
30、tructural frame that is used.In steel skeleton construction,floors are either slabs of concrete resting on steel beams or a deck consisting of corrugated steel with a concrete topping.In concrete construction,the floors are either slabs of concrete on concrete beams or a series of closely spaced con
31、crete beams(ribs)in two directions topped with a thin concrete slab,giving the appearance of a waffle on its underside.The kind of floor that is used depends on the span between supporting columns or walls and the function of thespace.slab：楼板、平板；rest on：依靠，由支撑；deck：板、面板；corrugated steel krgeitid ：波纹
32、钢板；rib：肋；waffle wfl :格子；延伸：composite floor with profiled steel sheet 压型钢板组合楼板 composite floor system 组合楼盖ribbed slab floor 密肋楼板 slab-column system 无梁楼盖stiffening rib 加劲肋 楼板。楼板结构取决于结构的形式。在钢结构中，楼板是支撑在钢梁上的混凝土板，或者是波纹钢板加混凝土面层的楼板。在混凝土结构中，楼板是支撑在混凝土梁上的混凝土板，或者是一系列排列紧密的双向梁（肋）加上部的混凝土薄板，板下面呈格状。girderpost poured
33、 concreteprofiled steel sheet secondary beam composite floor with profiled steel sheetIn an apartment building,for instance,where walls and columns are spaced at 12 to 18 feet(3.7 to 5.5 meters),the most popular construction is a solid concrete slab with no beams.The underside of the slab serves as
34、the ceiling for the space below it.Corrugated steel decks are often used in office buildings because the corrugations,when enclosed by another sheet of metal,form ducts for telephoneand electrical lines延伸：a solid concrete slab with no beamsslab-column system 无梁楼盖 例如，在一幢公寓中，柱间距为12到18英尺（3.7米到5.5米），最普遍
35、的是实心的无梁楼板。板下部可作为下层空间的顶棚。办公大楼中常使用波纹钢楼板，这是因为当波纹钢楼板的波纹被另一块金属板盖上时可以形成电话线和电线管道。Mechanical and Electrical Systems.A modern building not only contains the space for which it is intended(office,classroom,apartment)but also contains ancillary space for mechanical and electrical systems that help to provide a
36、 comfortable environment.These ancillary spaces in a skyscraper office building may constitute 25%of the total building area.The importance of heating,ventilating,electrical,and plumbing systems in an office building is shown by the fact that 40%of theancillary nsilri ：辅助的；ventilating ：通风；plumbing s
37、ystems plmi ：管道系统；construction budget is allocated to them.Because of the increased use of sealed buildings with windows that cannot be opened,elaborate mechanical systems are provided for ventilation and air conditioning.Ducts and pipes carry fresh air from central fan rooms and air conditioning ma

40、y Building(1965)in Des Moines,Iowa,exposes both the ducts and the floor structure in an organized and elegant pattern and dispenses with the suspended ceiling.This type of approach makes it possible to reduce the cost of the building and permits innovations,such as in the span of thestructureDes Moi
41、nes diminz ：得梅因(美国爱荷华州,Iowa州的首府)；suspended ceiling：吊顶 人们尝试将机电系统暴露出来，融入到房屋的建筑中。例如，在爱荷华州首府得梅因的美国共和保险公司大楼（1965）就将管线和楼板以一种优美的图案展现出来，从而免除了吊顶。这种方法使得降低房屋造价成为可能，并且可以允许创新，例如在结构的跨度方面。Soils and Foundations.All buildings are supported on the ground,and therefore the nature of the soil becomes an extremely impor
42、tant consideration in the design of any building.The design of a foundation depends on many soil factors,such as type of soil,soil stratification,thickness of soil layers and their compaction,and groundwater conditions.Soils rarely have a single composition;they generally are mixtures in layers of v
43、arying thickness.For evaluation,soils are graded according to particle size,which increased from silt to clay to sand to gravel to rock.In general,the larger particle soils will support heavier loads than the smaller ones.The hardest rock can support loads up to 100 tons per square foot(976.5 metric
44、 tons/sq meter),but the softest silt can support a load of only 0.25 ton per squarefoot(2.44 metric tons/sq meter).stratification.strtifikein ：分层；silt：淤泥，粉土；square skw ：平方；metric metrik ：公制的,米制的；compaction kmpkn ：压缩；土壤和地基。所有建筑都是坐落在地面上的。因此任何设计中，土壤的特性成为一项的重要考虑环节。基础设计必须考虑众多因素，例如土壤类型、土壤分层、每层的厚度及压缩性、地下水状
45、况等。土壤很少是单一成分的，通常是不同厚度土层的混合物。为了评估土壤，根据粒径不同，土壤依次划分为粉土、粘土、沙土、碎石土和岩石。通常，大粒径的土壤可以承受更大的荷载。最硬的岩石其负载可以高达每平方英尺100吨（976.5t/m2），但是柔软的粉土就只有每平方英尺0.25吨（2.44t/m2）。All soils beneath the surface are in a state of compaction;that is,they are under a pressure that is equal to the weight of the soil column above it.Man
46、y soils(except for most sands and gavels)exhibit elastic properties-they deform when compressed under load and rebound when the load is removed.The elasticity of soils is often time-dependent,that is,deformations of the soil occur over a length of time which may vary from minutes to years after a lo
47、ad is imposed.Over a period of time,a building may settle if it imposes a load on the soil greater than the natural compaction weight of the soil.Conversely,a building may heave if it imposes loads on the soil smaller than the natural compaction weight.The soil may also flow under the weight of a bu

49、性的，也就是说，土的变形可能发生在荷载作用后从数分钟到数年的时间长度上。如果建筑物作用在土体上的荷载高于土的天然压实重量，可能产生沉降。相反，如果建筑物作用在土体上的荷载小于土的天然压实重量，建筑物就会被举起。土壤可能在建筑的重量下产生流动，就是说，它很容易被压挤出。Due to both the compaction and flow effects,building tend to settle.Uneven settlements,exemplified by the leaning towers in Pisa and Bologna,can have damaging effects
50、-the building may lean,walls and partitions may crack,windows and doors may become inoperative,and,in the extreme,a building may collapse.Uniform settlements are not so serious,although extreme conditions,such as those in Mexico City,can have serious consequences.Over the past 100 years,a change in
