Abstract:

Progress does not amount to destroying the future, but to preserving its essence, to generate the impetus to do it better today (Y. Ortega Y Gasset 1951). Working in the areas of history and construction technology, the spirit of these statement guided my research: developing a research method for buildings not listed (yet) as monuments but needed to be analysed before the next approach. When studying buildings it is essential to consider not only the art history, social and urban planning factors, but especially the construction engineering aspects. In this way, a deeper understanding of the underlying design and building methods used in our built environment can be developed. There have been many historical and architectural studies of buildings. The period since the Second World War has received particular interest. Unfortunately, most of these studies do not address the technical aspects of the construction of these buildings. However, these issues were covered by publications at the time these buildings were constructed. Technology provided me with the inspiration to develop a more comprehensive research method to assess buildings: Analysing Buildings from Context to Detail in time: ABCD research method. Technology, at academic level, should be considered in the analysis of a building. Here we are concerned with construction engineering, the study of the requirements associated with constructing buildings. The Analysing Building Construction in time research matrix (ABC matrix) can be used in practice. It incorporates the study outcomes which relate to the building itself. Contextual aspects as well as building aspects are included. They can be analysed at the three time levels to draw conclusions which are relevant to the future existence of the building. The case study of the Friesland Provincial Library in Leeuwarden will be worked out in the conference paper.

Abstract:

With the continuous development of the social economy and the relentless progress of modernization, the construction industry has greatly contributed to the rapid development of urban planning. High-rise buildings are playing an increasingly important role in Russia’s economic construction. Based on the research and analysis of the current state of high-rise building development in the world and Russia, as well as the technical characteristics of construction control, to summarize the current problems in the high-rise building construction control field in Russia and put forward the relevant control measures. Based on an extensive review of scientific literature at home and abroad, this study analyzed the following issues as high-rise building construction control in terms of development history, influencing factors, and technical characteristics of Russian high-rise buildings, where the key focus was on the historical development and technical attributes of high-rise buildings in Russia; the current shortcomings and development prospects of Russian high-rise buildings were identified, and analogies and graphical analogies were proposed. In Russia, the development of high-rise buildings is hampered by the fact that 30 years ago, there was no unified regulatory and research base on high-rise building management. Currently, the Russian Ministry of Construction is actively developing normative and methodological documents to make up for inactive and outdated records in the field of high-rise buildings.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION The Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines is a progressive sustainability program for state funded buildings which serves as a model for sustainability in Minnesota buildings. The program was created by the State of Minnesota in 2001 and developed by a team led by the Center for Sustainable Building Research (CSBR) at the University of Minnesota. Unlike other green building programs, it focuses on measured performance improvements, using a list of required metrics instead of a menu of potential options. The program is structured to provide a feedback loop to the building design, construction and operations industry in the state. Elements of the program are used through all phases of the development of state-funded buildings in Minnesota from pre-design through design, and construction and for ten years of operations. It is continually updated and improved in collaboration with state agencies and industry stakeholders and could serve as a model for localized green building programs.

Abstract:

The process of combining various parts to create a structure is called building. The most effective and significant component of any construction is masonry. The Colosseum, buildings from ancient Greece and Rome, Central American buildings, and Mycenaean structures all used this material as one of their primary building elements. The oldest form is dry masonry of irregularly shaped stones. The ecological qualities of masonry, as a restorative material with a low impact on the environment, as well as the environmental control capacity of the massive wall, bring masonry back to attention as a suitable material for sustainable building in the context of current concerns for sustainable architecture. This article takes the form of a review of the journey of masonry as the primary construction material—from prehistoric structures to modern-day edifices. This article will go through the fundamentals of masonry construction to support its usage in structures throughout history and in many architectural styles, as a crucial representation of human construction in architectural history. This article aims to create a historical review, presenting masonry as an essential building material and assessing its role in the history of building materials.

Abstract:

The first place to keep the documents with national importance was the Archivum Regni founded in 1756 based on the Act XLV of 1723. By its reorganisation the National Archives was founded in 1874, which operated as the source reserve for the science of history. Since the very beginning the archivists claimed, that the institute should work in a separate building that represents the value of the science with its appearance. The study describes how the construction was completed from the idea until the completion of the Palace of the National Archives. The importance of the construction comes from the fact that it had been the first building in Hungary that was planned and built specifically for the needs of an archives. During the preparation period the leading employees of the archives visited several European archives, wrote detailed reports about the experienced technical and organisational solutions. Due to restrictions of length the study concentrates on the introduction of the experiences of the study tours abroad. During the planning the warehousing, researching, fire safety, operational, and aesthetic features were all considered. However, negotiating the finances forced the decision makers to leave out some of the aims, and make compromises. The construction started in 1913, and should have been finished by the middle of 1916, however due to WWI the building was completed in 1918, its internal decorations were only ready by 1929, and it was used for exclusively archival purposes only after 1945. The preparation, construction and the history of the building supplies us with useful experiences when planning state-of-the-art archival buildings.

Abstract:

The building surveying profession in Malaysia has experienced significant ups and downs since its introduction. Building surveying is a professional field that focuses on the maintenance, conservation, and evaluation of buildings, and focuses more on building control and compliance with acts and regulations. Nonetheless, recognizing the function and significance of Building Surveyors among industry professionals and the public remains a concern that requires attention. This article examines the development and strengthening of this profession by reviewing its establishment's chronology and emphasizing its services. This critical study uses qualitative research to understand the history of building surveying in the Malaysian construction industry and its services. Two (2) research questions are the reasons (why) for the limited acceptance of Building Surveyor roles over an extended period, and the relationship (how) these roles relate to the current needs of the industry and the public are examined. This paper will provide useful knowledge to prospective building surveying students, graduates, the public, and industry practitioners about the facts and history behind the establishment and development of the building surveying field and profession in Malaysia. In line with the progress of the construction sector and the need for more sustainable buildings, the construction industry's strengthening of building surveying services and the construction fund should be given attention.

Abstract:

Australia, during the twenty five years that followed the end of the Second World War, experienced increased prosperity and a stable industrial relations system in which the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission (the federal commission) played a dominant and authoritative role. The NSW building boom which began in the latter part of the 1950s introduced new technology, concentrated building workers in the central business district of Sydney, and broadened the range of skills required of builders' labourers. The major NSW building tradesmen's union, the Building Workers' Industrial Union (NSW/BWIU), had a communist leadership. The national body of that union lost its federal industrial registration in 1948, and the NSW/BWIU moderated its behaviour after it nearly lost its own, NSW state, registration in 1957. The Australian Building Construction Employees and Builders' Labourers Federation (ABLF) had a federal award under which most of the members of its NSW branch (NSW/BLF) were employed. The leadership of both the ABLF and of the NSW/BLF were communist. The Communist Party of Australia (CPA) suffered a defection by the ABLF leadership in the early 1960s to a communist party which endorsed Marxist- Leninist policies. The BWIU leadership also left the CPA (and formed the Socialist Party of Australia) following an announced shift in policy direction by the CPA in 1969. That shift in policy abandoned the `united front' concept and adopted ultra-left policies which advocated vanguard action by small groups. The announcement by the CPA of its new policies occurred after the gaoling of a Victorian union leader which signalled the virtual collapse of the previously authoritative, and punitive, role of the federal commission. The structure and politics of society underwent enormous change during the 1960s and early 1970s which was an era of protest during which various social movements were formed. The NSW/BLF became a major participant in those protests and movements, and conducted various industrial and social campaigns during the first half of the 1970s. Those campaigns were conducted in line with the ultra-left policies of the CPA, and this isolated the NSW/BLF from its federal body and from the trade union movement generally. This thesis analyses some of the campaigns conducted by the NSW/BLF during the period 1970-1974 and the various responses by the Master Builders Association of NSW (MBA/NSW) to those campaigns. The MBA/NSW broadened its membership base during the 1950s, and the effect that its new membership structure had on its decision-making processes is also considered.

Abstract:

This thesis is a comprehensive study of the church buildings built between 1821 and 1910 in Henry County, Indiana. The dramatic transformation from wilderness to an agricultural landscape dotted with small towns is echoed in the pattern of churches constructed. From member homes, congregations next moved into hewn-log buildings, that were replaced by vernacular frame buildings, and sometimes later with architect-designed brick or stone edifices. Congregations of the many different denominations organized during this time period in Henry County (Quaker, Methodist, and Church of Christ were the most numerous ) followed this pattern, though at varying speeds. The result of this cycle of building replacement, as well as the decline of individual congregations and occasional natural disasters, is that the forty-two existing buildings represent only about a quarter of the total number of church buildings erected during these ninety years. A survey of these forty-two buildings can be found in Appendix B.The research focused on where congregations built, how they built-obtaining land, raising funds, and what they built-materials, forms, and architectural styles, such as Greek Revival, Italianate, and Gothic Revival. Possible sources of plans and designs, including architects and nineteenth-century pattern books are discussed, although the influence of these sources was difficult to determine based on the brief accounts usually found in original church records. The thesis concludes with an overview of what has happened to pre-1910 Henry County church buildings after they were completed. Case studies of eight structures, including frame gable-front churches and masonry auditoriumplan churches illustrate the life-cycles of these Midwestern church buildings, revealing that continuous change has been their fate.<br>Department of Architecture

Abstract:

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, has been portrayed in scholarly literature as a prominent case of postcolonial African ‘growth failure’. Between 1960 and 2000 oil reserves were exploited resulting in revenues of more than $300 billion to the Nigerian government, while real per capita income fell over the same period. This thesis, by focusing on building and construction in Nigeria from 1960 to 2000, explains how and why Nigeria failed to invest its oil revenues to create long-term economic growth. Its findings have important implications for investment analyses of other commodity-rich countries in Africa and across the developing world. It draws on a wide range of primary quantitative and qualitative sources including government surveys, construction-related company financial data and project lists, industry publications, newspapers, and the correspondence files of a major Nigerian architecture firm. These are used to present a picture of historical building activity which includes a 40-year dataset of cement price and consumption, and a construction supply curve for both the oil boom and bust periods. By quantifying for the first time the long-observed ‘ghost construction’ of the oil boom, this thesis finds that annually about two thirds of what scholars and national accounts statistics had estimated was being invested in construction was never actually invested, implying that what was invested offered a greater return than has previously been acknowledged. Although investment in construction was overstated during the oil boom, during the oil bust construction was understated as major government projects were funded off-budget and away from public scrutiny. This thesis demonstrates that the most productive area of public investment has been infrastructure, and further that the private sector construction industry was a valuable asset which greatly enhanced the government’s ability to implement investment programmes, when it had the political will to do so.

Abstract:

Calcutta of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century enjoyed global stature and connections as a consequence of its position within the British Empire as the capital of India. This study of Calcutta’s buildings aims to comprehend the architectural legacy of the period in terms of its construction history. The proposed thesis underlying the research is that Calcutta’s built environment bore witness to the intense traffic of ideas, people and goods characteristic of the era. The significance of the research is two-fold. It enjoys the distinction of being the first attempt to undertake a wide-ranging investigation into the construction history of a city in the Indian subcontinent, and indeed possibly anywhere in the world. Concurrently, the study endeavours to suggest a methodological approach for similar forthcoming studies in India and elsewhere, especially considering that the discipline of construction history is as yet at a nascent stage and such studies are only expected to multiply in number and scope in the coming years. The research effort trains its attention on two key aspects of construction history – human resource and material resource. The former is manifested in investigations into the training and work contexts of the professionals engaged in construction activity, i.e. the engineers and the architects. The latter takes the form of research into source and application of the commonly used construction materials. The methodology employed in the study encompasses a range of disciplines and related sources, especially drawing on architectural, urban, social and economic histories. Addressing the proposed thesis has necessitated directing research efforts towards situating developments in Calcutta in the context of and with reference to the metropolitan milieu. The analysis of the research findings and the conclusions thus drawn have served to corroborate the proposed thesis highlighting the incessant flux distinctive of the construction environment in Calcutta in the period of this study. The dissertation is expected to facilitate an enhanced understanding of Calcutta’s built environment for those entrusted with its care, especially those in the heritage and conservation sector, as well as contribute to the available pool of free knowledge furthering our understanding of human civilization.

This includes the design approaches and building codes used at the time of construction. The provisions in building codes have evolved from a heuristically adjusted permissible stress method to a semi-probabilistic safety format using partial safety factors. In addition, the focus has historically been on developing resistance models based on measurements and tests, whereas load models have received comparatively less attention. This study explores the Swedish codes from 1947 to the present day. Design methods are compared, accounting for differences in imposed loading provisions and developments in material specifications over time. The evolution of structural safety, in terms of reliability indices, is then estimated based on simple examples. The results indicate that the reliability indices have decreased over time in the case of simple beams.</p>

Abstract:

<p>Modular steel building systems provide effective solutions for temporary and permanent accommodation, particularly in critical situations such as post-earthquake scenarios. These systems address urgent needs for rapid construction while maintaining high-quality standards, making them essential in modern construction. By staggering multiple master modular units both horizontally and vertically, diverse architectural layouts are created to meet specific requirements. This study evaluates the seismic performance of a prototype five story modular building using 3D finite element analysis combined with nonlinear time-history analysis. The finite element model, which accounts for material and geometric nonlinearities, is used to monitor building drift, material yielding, plasticity, and anchorage reactions. Typical interconnection details are provided, and the seismic demands for these connections are assessed.</p>

Abstract:

A well-designed structure that goes through proper construction stages will reduce the risk of losses that may be apparent in construction work. Consequently, the development of BIM technology becomes a solution for achieving it through the ability of information integration that it offers. In this study, analysis and design of a multi-tower structure are conducted with BIM usage during the design process. The study is carried out by redesigning two structures that have been separately designed previously, namely Tower Laboratory and Hangar Laboratory, with a skybridge connecting them. The study is started by joining both structures without any changes in element sizes to compare the changes in the structural behavior consistently. The study is then continued by doing design evaluations on the connected structure with response spectrum and time history analyses. BIM integration is then used to obtain concrete and bar volumes necessary for cost calculations. The results show that two separate structures will have changes in their dynamic behaviors when they are connected, which will affect their design especially in resisting lateral forces like earthquake load. Conclusively, a maximum change of 27,96% for Tower Laboratory and 31.77% for Hangar Laboratory was found when the two structures are subjected to Kocaeli ground motion with skybridge connecting them. Efficiency of total structural cost by 2.2047% was achieved for Tower Laboratory and 0.5523% for Hangar Laboratory with the use of time history analysis. Further, this study shows the potential of BIM in helping structural designs process despite its imperfections and further developments needed.

Abstract:

<p>In 2011, Thailand suffered its worst flooding in modern history. Flooding persisted in some areas until January 2012, and 65 of Thailand's 76 provinces were declared flood disaster zones. Floods can damage foundations more than other structures when piles are subjected to uplift by water pressure. This paper presents the use of the pile‐foundation connection method to prevent the effect of uplift at the foundations in accordance with Code ACI 318‐08. This case study was done on an assembly hall, which is part of a renowned art gallery and mindfulness centre with a total area of 12,250 m² in Chachoengsao province, which was one of the most severely inundated provinces. Construction of the building began in 2010, but was suspended in 2011 due to the flooding. Construction was completed in 2012. As a result of the pile‐cap connection method, there was no significant damage to the foundations.</p>

Abstract:

Is important that architecture is the product of more than the aesthetic concerns of the architect and the practical concerns of the client. It straddles two realms: that of the fine arts and that of the highly practical and utilitarian. In its dual nature, architecture is most often cast as a high art; the outcomes of architectural thinking and making are celebrated, analyzed, and documented for their aesthetic significance as art objects. Architecture’s impact as a service, being practical and useful, are deemed less worthy by both the discipline and profession. Pivotal Constructions of Unseen Events reconstitutes a new reading of American history from 1871-2020, a period marked by tremendous national growth and building, alongside the rise of new shared ideas, practices, and customs that have shaped—and continue to shape—the structures of American society alongside the structures of its built environment.Through the construction of five narratives for five buildings of architectural origin, this research examines the social, technological, material, and economic forces that led to their emergence and construction, as well as the outcomes that arose in society afterward. Pivotal Constructions demonstrates—through the close reading of buildings—how to understand architecture as historical event rather than historical artifact. Whereby architecture’s historical significance is not solely as a static object (or artifact), but rather as something that happened and happens (an event), transforming and shaping history in unexpected and significant ways. This approach gathers and reassembles evidence of architecture’s historical significance, elements hence claimed by other narratives, absorbed by other disciplines, and told by other actors. This method of re-constructing architectural history, is meant to recapture a fuller gamut of architecture’s impact on and in society.For VIBRArch 2022, this author presents one of these narratives: “Building the American Dream”, the history of how the arrival in 1908 of the Gamble House (Greene and Greene Architects) played a part in the genesis of the single-family, detached house, which has become a potent and defining symbol of American values and morals.

Department of Building Economics, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.31705/wcs.2024.2.

Full text

Abstract:

The adaptive reuse of buildings is emerging as a sustainable solution within the built environment, addressing global challenges like climate change and greenhouse gas emissions faced by the world's population. Opting to repurpose energy-efficient historic buildings during the operational phase instead of demolishing and constructing new structures is recognized as a protective mechanism for urban cultural heritage. The escalating operational energy consumption in the building sector poses direct and indirect environmental, economic, and social concerns for occupants. This study aimed to compare the operational energy efficiency of adaptive reuse historic buildings and modern structures, seeking to identify the most energy-efficient building type. Energy consumption patterns, especially for air conditioning and lighting in residential houses, were gathered and simulated using DesignBuilder software, considering building materials as variables in both the old and new phases of the buildings. Ten Dutch-era residential dwellings were selected, and a specific schedule was analysed for energy simulations. The average Energy Use Intensity (EUI) value for old buildings in the scheduled case was lower than the newly modelled buildings. The research concludes that old historic buildings are comparatively more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than new buildings for operational use based on the building envelope in the selected study area..

Abstract:

Building construction and infrastructure development have been a component of major civilizations throughout their history. Great examples, of architecture include the Great Pyramid, the Great Wall of China, and many more ancient constructions of historical significance. The fundamental component for the completion of these buildings is design, planning, execution, and closure. Planning of project execution is the most critical aspect, to have the ability to accomplish the required project execution in the allotted time and on framed expenses. Certainly, some outstanding quality and construction management procedures were implemented in the past, and someone was present to supervise the resources and time schedule. In today's construction project management, many mathematical tools and techniques such as bar charts, CPM, PERT and so on are employed for project planning. To manage the multi-tasking and complicated building environment, other standalone computer software and web-based packages are also in use. This paper aims to investigate advancements in construction management when dealing with extremely complicated building procedures in a complex environment. The methodology applied is to study and cite the literature of various preferred software management tools in the construction industry with the sequential order of the year, purpose, uses and process of the particular software. The results obtained are the analytical study of the software tools used in the construction industry.

<p>Development of Palmyra’s architecture is an interesting example of the changes which took place in construction techniques and their application. These changes resulted from an individual approach to ancient Greek construction technique introduced at the beginning of the Ist century AD, employed in the construction of the great Temple of Bel. A complex analysis of the ancient buildings explains factors that influenced a building technology adopted for erection high tower tombs, walls and columns in a fast and easy way, as well as describes a specific approach to construction of arches and vaults in Palmyra.</p>

Abstract:

The U.S. Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) mostly through the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), which requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. This report provides a World War II development history and analysis of 786 buildings, and determinations of eligibility for those buildings, on Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Evaluation of the WWII buildings and landscape concluded that there are too few buildings with integrity to form a cohesive historic district. While the circulation patterns and roads are still intact, the buildings with integrity are scattered throughout the cantonment affecting the historic character of the landscape. Only Building 100 (post headquarters), Building 656 (dental clinic), and Building 550 (fire station) are ELIGIBLE for listing on the NRHP at the national level under Criterion A for their association with World War II temporary building construction (1942-1946) and under Criterion C for their design, construction, and technological innovation.

Abstract:

The Moffett Field Naval Chapel and boiler house are located on the Moffett Federal Airfield, Santa Clara, California. Constructed circa 1945, both buildings are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A for associations with the post–WWII Moffett Field expansion and under Criterion C as a representative example of Navy Bureau of Yards and Docks chapel construction and as a true representative example of the Spanish colonial revival style in the region. Their period of significance is 1945–1986, before major renovations were completed at the site. All buildings, especially historic ones, require regular planned maintenance and repair. The most notable cause of historic building element failure or decay is not the fact that the historic building is old, but rather it is caused by incorrect or inappropriate repair and basic neglect of the historic building fabric. This document is a maintenance manual compiled with as-is conditions of construction materials of the Moffett Field Naval Chapel. The Secretary of Interior Guidelines on rehabilitation and repair per material are discussed to provide a guide to maintain this historic building. This report satisfies Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 as amended and will help to manage this historic building.

Abstract:

The Burgess-Capps Cabin is located on the US Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1975 under the name of “Pioneer Cabin.” The building is currently not occupied but used as a history interpretive site. It is one of the few log cabins that remain in this part of Colorado from the time of European settlement. All buildings, especially historic ones, require regular planned maintenance and repair. The most notable cause of historic build-ing element failure or decay is not the fact that the historic building is old, but rather, it is caused by incorrect or inappropriate repair or basic neglect of the historic building fabric. This document is a maintenance manual compiled with as-is conditions of construction materials of the cabin. The secretary of interior’s guidelines on rehabilitation and repair per material are discussed to provide the cultural resources manager at USAFA a guide to maintain this historic building. Additional chapters include information regarding the historic materials and a structural analysis.

Abstract:

The US Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, the nation’s most effective cultural resources legislation to date, mostly through establishing the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NHPA requires federal agencies to address their cultural re-sources, which are defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those eligible or potentially eligible for the NRHP or listed on the NRHP. The Mill Springs Mill is found in south-central Kentucky, within Wayne County, a county bordering Tennessee. The mill, spring pools, granary, and recreation area are owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The site has run as a grist mill ever since its construction in the 1800s but has also been given other purposes, such as a roadside park starting in 1949 until the late 1970s and then a USACE recreation area. The mill is listed on the NRHP, while the grounds are part of the Mill Springs Battlefield, which is on the NRHP and also a national historic landmark. This report provides a comprehensive historic context for the features and buildings at the Mill Springs Mill in support of Section 110 of the NHPA.

Abstract:

The aim of the article. How state-of-the-art in the field of home building influenced onto capital constructing in defense industry, putting into exploitation and operation of the new military plants during the industrialization period is examined. Methodology. General principles of historism and objectivity are the theoretical-methodological base of this work. Author also uses special historical methods: logic, systematic, chronological, actualisation and periodizing. Results. This article is based on documents storing in the Russian State Archive and Russian State Economical Archive. Collections of historical documents related to the Soviet period of Russian history are also used. On the base of these documents it is shown that poor situation in the field of home building was the reason of persistent deficits of building and exploitation workers. Due to this fact it was impossible to apply the funds given by the Government for building some plants (especially at the periphery), building works were delayed and proper operation of already built ones was spoiled. These problems were not completely solved till the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. All this effected negatively to the Red Army combat readiness before and during the war, especially at the beginning period. Practical application. The field of results application. Practical significance of this work is as follows: the archive data, which are for the first time used for scientific investigation and also the conclusions formulated in this article can be used for further scientific research on the USSR military industry in the industrialization period and also for scientific research on the USSR period in general.

Abstract:

The US Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), the nation’s most effective cultural resources legislation to date, mostly through establishing the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NHPA requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources, which are defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. This two-volume report documents an architectural survey of 12 miscellaneous buildings and structures constructed from 1960 through 1976 in the Custer Hill area at Fort Riley, Kansas. Volume 1 includes an analysis of the eligibility of these buildings and structures to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and satisfies Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Volume 2 contains individual building inventory forms, and its access is controlled by Fort Riley for security reasons. During the covered period, Fort Riley’s primary mission was training recruits for deployment to South Vietnam. As a result, the relevant theme developed for determining historical significance for these 12 buildings at Fort Riley is Recruit Training for Ground Combat in Vietnam. Of the facilities inventoried, none achieved significance under this theme for Criterion A. These buildings do not embody a distinctive characteristic of a type, period, or method of construction, do not represent the work of a master, and do not possess high artistic value under Criterion C. Therefore, no buildings were determined to be eligible to the NRHP. This work fulfills Section 110 requirements for these buildings.

Abstract:

July 1, 2023, marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the all-volunteer force (AVF). At this time, buildings, structures, and other elements of the US Air Force’s (USAF) built environment associated specifically with the AVF will be potentially eligible as historic resources under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The relationship between the AVF and the USAF built environment, however, has not yet been examined, and no historic contexts exist that provide guidance on how to identify and evaluate properties that may be associated with the built environment of the USAF AVF and offer recommendations on management of these properties to assist USAF installations in complying with the NHPA. As a result, it is unclear if, and to what extent, buildings, structures, and other elements associated specifically with the AVF exist that may require management under NHPA. The USAF desires to better understand the relationship between the AVF and the USAF built environment and has requested the Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) conduct a built-environment analysis of existing USAF real property. This research is intended to support USAF decision-makers in determining if further research is warranted and how best to plan for managing AVF-related buildings, structures, and other built environment elements under NHPA. Results of this analysis indicate a relationship exists between the AVF and the USAF built environment; 42 built-environment feature types with construction rates higher than the overall average during the AVF period are identified.
