Sealing and resealing of joints in buildings
Construction and Building Materials, 1995Abstract Sealants play a vital role in joints in maintaining the weather-tightness of buildings and engineering structures. This paper outlines the nature of joint movements and the requirements of sealants to fulfil this role. Aspects of economics, joint design, sealant system selection and joint preparation are then discussed, both in the context ...

Durability of Building Joint Sealants
2008Predicting the service life of building joint sealants exposed to service environments in less than real time has been a need of the sealant community for many decades. Despite extensive research efforts to design laboratory accelerated tests to duplicate the failure modes occurring in field exposures, little success has been achieved using ...

History of Building Joint Sealants
1996The use of sealants in facades became more widespread in the 1950s and 1960s with the increasing use of curtain wall construction. While most sealants specified for new construction today are silicone or urethane-based, older buildings may contain polysulfide and acrylic-based sealants.

Component building and the jointing problem
Batiment International, Building Research and Practice, 1976In a new CIB report called “The geometry of joints”, working commission W24 has analysed one of the crucial problems of dimensional co-ordination with the aim of providing an agreed basis for international standardisation. The report is described here by one of the co-authors who was part of a special W24 study group that also included Klaus Blach, co ...

Joint appointments: another dimension to building bridges
Nurse Education Today, 2001For many years nurse education has been under close scrutiny, with particular focus on the links between what is taught in the classroom and what is practised. Since the onset of the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing and Midwifery's Project 2000: A new preparation for practice, concerns have been raised over the potential for an even greater ...

DESIGN FOR ADAPTABILITY. Joints for sustainable building
2022The article presents a structural system patented by the authors. It is based on the assembly of iron and woodwith threaded 'pins', clamped in a vice to ensure a sustainable development process (SDGs). The execution and design methods revisit ancient technologies in the light of advanced research.
