The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) is pleased to announce that the core functionality of the Whole Building Design Guide has been restored and is now available for public use. We continue to work around the clock to restore full functionality to the site while improving overall usability and performance.
This Engineering and Construction Bulletin (ECB) establishes interim policy and guidance for the design of fiber reinforced polymer hydraulic composite structures (HCS). The purpose of this ECB is to ensure quality, consistency, and standardization while USACE personnel gain knowledge and experience with HCS and more explicit guidance is developed.
• Creation of a single-source reference for modifications to a commercial structural building code that provides guidance for the design of DoD facilities. • Ensuring that the locations identified and the loadings described are complete and current with the most up-to-date available information.
Possessions, design agencies, and design architect-engineer in gaining an understanding of the general functions and environmental considerations to address in the design and construction documents for the Army National Guard (ARNG) facilities
• Structural. RReviewers should - Ensure that DESIGN REVIEW Submission Instructions (PG-18-15) for Schematic, Design Development, and Construction Documents are followed for the various types of VA construction projects. RReviewers should - Ensure that every VA construction project is in compliance with all life safety issues.
• New design criteria reflect current requirements for structural design for DoD project, and includes criteria that were omitted from the previous version.
This Standard Design was developed in close coordination with the facility’s functional users to by determine personnel counts, allowable/authorized space/room sizes, adjacency diagrams between the functional spaces and the overall facility space
This Section includes the requirements for the design and construction of waterfront structure, described in ESR H10, Waterfront Structures, of Part 3 and as identified on the RFP drawings provided in Part 6.
planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002.
Proper joint design should be given special attention, and if properly executed in the field, will eliminate the air infiltration problems. The primary joint design generally includes seals within the thickness of the panel, typically spray foam or gaskets.
