BS 6750: Specification for Modular Coordination in Building Dimensional coordination ~ the practical aims of this concept are to: 1. Roger Greeno has extensive practical and consultancy experience in the construction industry, in addition to lecturing at several colleges of further and higher education, and the University of Portsmouth, UK.

The most popular method to establish the shear strength of cohesive soils is the Triaxial Compres­ sion Test. Its ‘work stages’ and ‘key tasks’ have become universally accepted by the other building professions as a planning model, as guidance for progressing pro­ jects and for processing contract procurement.org/eu/about-rics/ Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) The RIBA is a global professional membership body driving excellence in architec­ ture.

All the above grids, being based on a basic module, are contained one within the other and are therefore interrelated. Recommendations for improvements ~ in addition to an energy assessment survey and rating, the assessor is required to provide a report identifying areas that could improve the energy performance of a building. Approved inspectors These are a private sector building control alternative – they can pick and choose which clients they work for.

RIBA Plan of Work – established by the Royal Institute of British Architects as a methodical procedure for the design team to apply to building projects. com/about Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) CABE was founded to promote and advance knowledge, study and practice of all the arts and sciences concerned with building technology, planning, design, con­ struction maintenance and repair of the built environment. These form the basis for their own independent quality control procedures whereby their inspectors will under­ take stage and periodic examinations of work in progress to ensure that these standards are adhered to. Modular coordination BS 6750 specifies the increments of size for coordinating dimensions of building components, as in Table 1.Bulk density This is the mass per unit volume, which includes mass of air or water in the voids and is essential information required for the design of retaining structures where the weight of the retained earth is an important factor.

The objective is to evaluate these where an existing British Standard, Eurostandard or similar quality benchmark does not exist. Building organisations Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) This is the professional body for construction management and leadership, its Royal Charter is to promote science and practice of building for the benefit of society. The test results of soil samples are usually shown on a drawing which gives the location of each sample and the test results in the form of a hatched legend or section. Liquid limit The water or moisture content when a soil sample changes from plastic to liquid behavioural characteristics.The existing chapters have all been updated and most of them expanded to take account of changes to dwelling house construction since the last edition.
