Includes bibliographical references (leaf 52).
This paper uses statistical regression techniques, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), to develop models to explain the relationship between physical characteristics and performance of industrial properties. The physical characteristics studied in this paper include building size, building age, building type, and tenant type. Rent and occupancy rates are used as a proxy for performance. The results show that building size, building age, building type and tenant type are significant variables in the explanation of industrial property performance and volatility of annual growth of performance, but these variables are not found to exert a significant influence on the long-term trend of performance. The results also indicate that the decrease in size of industrial properties increase their performance ( or the relationship is negative) but decrease their volatility of annual growth of performance ( or the relationship is positive); medium-age industrial properties outperform newer and older ones in both performance and volatility of annual growth of performance; R&D industrial properties have the best performance and also the highest volatility of annual growth of performance among the three building types: manufacturing, warehouse, and R&D; single tenant industrial properties have better performance and higher volatility of annual growth of performance than multitenant ones.

This thesis aims to increase current understanding of the ways in which large firms make and implement industrial building investment decisions. The study reported involved an investigation, from the corporate perspective, of the decision and implementation stages of capital investment projects in two large UK firms. The orientation of the study is towards a consideration of investment decision making and implementation as a problem for management involving a process of resource allocation occurring over time and throughout the corporate organisation. Drawing on research in the business administration area of social science, the process model of resource allocation by Bower (1970) is used as a conceptual framework and to suggest propositions for study which direct attention at key features of the process. By viewing corporate capital investment decision making and implementation within this framework - and as part of an in-depth, case-based, exploratory research strategy - rather than in terms of its financial or economic consequences, the study reaches an understanding of the ways in which both firms studied actually made and implemented their capital investment decisions. The analysis utilised the study propositions to explore the resource allocation process and yields important observations on the role of the construction industry in the investment decision process and of the role of the corporate client in the construction process. The central finding is that the implementation of corporate capital investment, seen from the firm's perspective, is more a continuation of the process of capital investment than an end result of it. The study suggests that the construction industry participates rather more in the investment decision process, and the corporate client participates rather more in the construction process, than is generally recognised in the literatures on corporate capital investment and construction management.

Syftet med denna studie är att avgöra om ett stål- eller betongbjälklag lämpar sig bäst för industribyggnaden sett ur ett konstruktions- och ekonomiskt perspektiv. Rapporten är även tänkt att kunna fungera som ett hjälpmedel för blivande ingenjörer eller andra personer som beräknar och analyserar liknande konstruktioner. I rapporten har vi två stycken frågeställningar, hur ett mellanbjälklag bör utformas och vilka faktorer som är avgörande. För att svara på dem använder vi oss av kvantitativa metoder. Rapporten är uppbyggd på relevant litteratur som har behandlats och gett oss en grund att stå på. Med hjälp av denna litteratur har vi sedan utfört beräkningar, analyserat, tolkat och diskuterat. De resultat som vi kommer fram till i rapporten är att båda de olika typerna av mellanbjälklag klarar boverkets krav och båda materialen skulle kunna användas för att konstruera mellanbjälklaget i den aktuella industribyggnaden om så önskas. Båda bjälklagen i stål respektive betong har sina materialspecifika för- och nackdelar. Betong är ett billigare material och har ett bra brandskydd utan att någon extra behandling behövs. Å andra sidan väger betong mer och kräver större dimensioner. Stål är lättare och kan utföras i mindre dimensioner, det finns även fungerande brandskydd för stål, dock måste den appliceras separat, antingen genom brandskyddsfärg eller genom överdimensionering. Slutsatser och rekommendationer är att båda materialen kan användas som mellanbjälklag för byggnaden i fråga. Den avgörande faktorn blir helt klart den ekonomiska aspekten då betong är betydligt billigare än stål. Rekommendationen blir därmed att mellanbjälklaget byggs i betong.

Despite its importance in national income, the level of activity in the construction sector has received little attention in the economics literature. The lack of studies attempting to forecast construction activity is surprising given that its volatility is often regarded as destabilising to the economy. Here, we model an important and growing component of construction, namely private industrial and commercial building. Construction activity is typically measured by output. To the extent that new construction output represents capital formation, output can be modelled as an investment problem. The theoretical investment literature is disparate and confusing but here, the leading models are presented in a unified framework in which the similarities and differences between them can be easily identified. We then go on to estimate a number of the models empirically. Some are econometric models consistent with traditional theories of investment. Others are based on vector autoregression (VAR) analysis which provides a largely statistical representation of a set of variables with minimum use of a priori restrictions but in which long-run relationships are preserved. The data required for model estimation is considerable and complicated by the effects of investment incentives embodied in the tax system. The forecasting performance of all the models is evaluated against forecasts generated by a benchmark model suggested by the data rather than by economic theory. In terms of forecasting performance, some of the investment models considered here are shown to be superior to the benchmark model.

Electro Hydrostatic Actuators (EHA) are emerging as a viable option for industrial machine builders as the design combines the best of both electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic technologies. The EHA is a highly integrated, compact alternative to traditional hydraulic solutions. Automation engineers moving toward electro-mechanical actuation in pursuit of energy efficiency and environmental cleanliness, will find an EHA an attractive option for high force density actuators. This paper will address the factors to consider when assessing an industrial machine’s application suitability for this latest innovation in actuation. It describes principal base circuits, a concept for EHA building blocks and a realized pilot application as well as challenges on actuator and components level.

The Swedish industrial sector has overcome the oil crisis and has maintained the energy use constant even though the production has grown. This has been achieved thanks to the development of several energy policies, by the Swedish government, towards the 2020 goals. This thesis carries on this path and performs an energy audit for an old industrial building in Gävle (Sweden) in order to propose different energy efficiency measures to use less energy while maintaining the thermal comfort. The building is in quite a bad shape and some of the areas are unused making them a waste of money. By means of the invoices provided by different companies, the information from the staff and some measures that have been carried out in-situ, the energy balance has been calculated from where conclusions have been drawn. Although it is an industrial building, the study is not going to be focused in the industrial process but in the building’s envelope and support processes, since the unit combines both production and office areas. Therefore, the energy balance is divided in energy supplies (district heating, free heating and sun irradiation) and energy losses (transmission, ventilation hot tap water and infiltrations). The results show that the most important supply is that of the DH whereas the most important losses are the transmission and infiltration. Thus, the measures proposed are focused on the reduction of this relevant parameters. The most important measures are the renovation of the windows, heating systems valves and the ventilation. The glazing of the dwelling is old and some of it is broken accounting for quite a large amount of the losses. The radiator valves are not properly working and there does not exist any temperature control. Therefore the installation of thermostatic valves turns out to be a must. Moreover, some part of the building has no mechanical ventilation but conserves the ducts. These could be utilized if they are connected to the workshop’s ventilation which is capable of generating sufficient flow for the entire building. Finally, although other measures could also be carried out, the ones proposed appear to be the essential ones. A further analysis should be carried out in order to analyze the payback time or investment capability of the company so as to decide between one measure or another. A market study for possible new tenants for the unused parts of the building is also advisable.

This case study was written within the broader concept of Organisational Culture and how it is integrated into an organisation to encourage responsible leadership. The core focus and emphasis of this approach is to establish the implications for businesses operating in the most challenging of commercial environments, while adhering to their corporate ethos and organisational values. These may be summarised with the phrase: Only a clean business is a sustainable business. This dissertation is intended to act as a case study and resource aide for the teaching of leadership, organisational behaviour, human resources and business sustainability. The study is about the Afghanistan chapter of the global giant Siemens, which has been working in many areas of specialisation conducting business in the country for more than 75 years. It has been selected for this case study because of its long-term impressive record, during which time it has developed and sustained a reputation as an organisation with a much-admired organisational culture, and one to which employees feel very closely attached and connected. This case study evolved from a set of unique as well as difficult circumstances. In Afghanistan, where infrastructure is weak, businesses and other structured organisations are in their initial and immature stages of development, and employee attachment to their workplaces is relatively weak. In the case of Siemens however, it has been much the opposite. It became apparent over a protracted period of time that the relationship of employees to the company was clearly of a positive and committed nature, unlike the general perception stemming from other multinational organisations operating within the country. Many business organisations in Afghanistan tend to emphasise to a lesser degree some modern-day practices of employer-employee relationships, which negatively affect motivation and commitment. The study grew out of the observations that employees of Siemens on the other hand, seemed to exhibit attitudes and commitments contrary to the general trend in the wider business sector. This project began with the intention to identify those factors contributing to employee loyalty and strong attachments to an organisation. Subsequently, the same findings were used to identify the traits and particular features working within the organisational environment.

The principles of organization theory are applied to the organization of construction projects. This is done by proposing a framework for modelling the whole process of building procurement. This consists of a framework for describing the environments within which construction projects take place. This is followed by the development of a series of hypotheses about the organizational structure of construction projects. Four case studies are undertaken, and the extent to which their organizational structure matches the model is compared to the level of success achieved by each project. To this end there is a systematic method for evaluating the success of building project organizations, because any conclusions about the adequacy of a particular organization must be related to the degree of success achieved by that organization. In order to test these hypotheses, a mapping technique is developed. The technique offered is a development of a technique known as Linear Responsibility Analysis, and is called "3R analysis" as it deals with roles, responsibilities and relationships. The analysis of the case studies shows that they tended to suffer due to inappropriate organizational structure. One of the prevailing problems of public sector organization is that organizational structures are inadequately defined, and too cumbersome to respond to environmental demands on the project. The projects tended to be organized as rigid hierarchies, particularly at decision points, when what was required was a more flexible, dynamic and responsive organization. The study concludes with a series of recommendations; including suggestions for increasing the responsiveness of construction project organizations, and reducing the lead-in times for the inception periods.

Once established, institutions become systems that imply the naturalness of their political and cultural dynamics. But how are institutions produced? This thesis presents an analysis of the Sydney post-industrial art centre Carriageworks. I argue that Carriageworks’ institutionalisation is enabled by social investment – specifically, the emotional labour of those separately involved in establishing, managing and working at the centre, as well as its publics. Given its location in a former industrial railway workshop adjacent to Redfern, a suburb famed for its Indigenous political activism, the establishment of Carriageworks would typically be read either as a welcome answer to urban decline, tied into place competition; or critically, as displacement in the name of cultural regeneration. However, I shift the focus from these creative industries formulations to argue that the establishment of Carriageworks was by no means a historical given. Ethnographic detail of this centre’s formation reveals the crucial role of emotional labour (a term I adapt from its beginnings in Arlie Hochschild’s work), in allowing this institution to exist and subsequently thrive. In presenting diverse instances of Carriageworks’ development, from instantiation to policy formulation, I also emphasise the affective power of its building in not only establishing the centre as an institution, but broadening the terms on which places like it can be valued. In the process, I explore how we can ‘deal with’ middle-class success, without immediately slapping it down with all analysis suspended, to consequently question the complex ways in which people relate to creative place.

The typical residential building is located at the crossing of S. Centralgatan Street and Nedre Akargatan Street in the city of Gavle. It is a quadrangle building of six floors with a yard in the middle. There are 180 apartments of five types in total, and at the first floor there is a kindergarten. There is a District Heating in the building and heating recovery system ventilation which use heat exchanger to reheat.

Several solutions are used for reducing the heat loss. In the first step, the heat loss and heat in has been calculated. There are several parameters that involve the heat loss and heat in of whole building, so each parameter in the energy balance equation is extracted and calculated. And then the Energy Balance Sheet has been built. Among the heat loss part, the transmission is 1237MWh, the hot tap water is 332MWh, the mechanical ventilation is 1041MWh, the natural ventilation is 325.7MWh.In the part of heat in, the DH is 1265.7MWh, the heat pump is 793MWh, the solar radiation is 562MWh, the internal heating is 315MWh.Later in the second step, after analyzing data of heat loss part, the improvements will be focused on the transmission and hot tap water parts because the heat loss in those two parts occupy the most. At the end of final step, the solutions have been discussed to optimize the heating system.

As conclusion, there are several suggested solutions. The total reduction of heat loss after adjustment is 163MWh, accounts 5.6% of originally heat loss. The heat loss of the building has been reduced from 2935.7MWh to 2772.7MWh.

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) has been defined as a variety of symptoms (including lethargy, headache, sore, dry eyes, nasal congestion and chest problems) associated with occupancy of certain buildings. The thesis aimed to look at a number of areas of SBS including the use of surveys, stress and SBS and the interaction of lighting with SBS. The first area examined was a survey of two buildings to ascertain what the occupants attributed their health complaints to. It was found that there was a high prevalence of symptoms in both buildings but it was not possible to attribute health complaints to any direct cause. The survey suggested that the interaction between different environmental and personal factors had an effect on symptom prevalence but it is still ambiguous as to what factors are causing specific health problems. The second area of research examined SBS and occupational stress among emergency control room staff. Using questionnaire data, environmental surveys, sickness absence data and an occupational stress questionnaire it was found firstly that ill health was attributed on the whole to air quality. Other symptoms also found were those associated commonly with shift work (indigestion and sleep problems). The research also found that there was a stress effect occurring at work but this was due to organisational and managerial stress and not job stress. It was not possible to assess how much the stress effect was affecting SBS symptom reporting. There were no common patterns found in sickness absence but the recording methods used by companies were inadequate to collect data relating to SBS. The final area of research examined SBS and lighting. Two experiments were carried out to compare health responses, stress and arousal levels, critical flicker fusion and choice reaction times. Two experimental conditions were used, the first, warm white fluorescent lighting, the second full-spectrum fluorescent lighting. No significant differences were found in either of the lighting conditions.

A study to optimize insulation thickness for stock-, industrial- and office-buildings for external walls and roof in an economical perspective has been conducted on behalf of DynaMate. DynaMate’s role is to maintain all Scania’s buildings. Analysis has also included other parts of the building envelope, such as windows, exterior doors and industrial doors. In this thesis, three different types of exterior wall constructions has been investigated, these are a sandwich design consisting of sheet metal and a another one consisting of concrete, as well as a wall of concrete with a coating of plasters. Furthermore, two types of roof structures have been studied, these are TRP-sheets and a concrete structure, both of which are externally isolated. For all types of building envelopes, different standard thicknesses of insulation have been used and the U-value of the windows has been varied. To calculate the energy needed for the different kinds of buildings, the program IDA Indoor Climate and Energy has been used. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis of the air tightness has been implemented for the building envelope. Based on the program results LCC (Life-cycle cost) calculations have been carried out for all combinations, thus be able to form an idea of the combination and what kind of structure that is most economically tenable. A thermograph study was conducted in an existing warehouse at Scania. Observations show that the connection between the sandwich material of sheet metal and the foundation wall is flawed as this has a much lower thermal resistance compared to other parts of the building envelope. An alternative connection was developed which reduces the heat loss to one-fifth of the initial connection. An analysis regarding the companies approach to the vapour barrier in roof structures for industrial buildings has been investigated from a moisture standpoint. The analysis shows that without a functioning vapour barrier the moisture content in the construction increases over time, which leads to increased heating costs. The conclusion of this study shows that a reduction of insulation thickness for all types of studied buildings is more economically tenable than increasing the thickness. This is mainly due to the high cost of capital that the company uses for these investments. This means that any savings on cooling and heating costs very quickly is overthrown by the interest rate of the additional cost of the investment.

Tese de Mestrado em Arquitectura com especialização em Arquitectura
A dissertação pretende investigar de que forma podem contribuir para a concepção arquitectónica contemporânea, as ideias e estratégias urbanas surgidas entre ofinal dos Anos 50 e início dos 60, mais tarde designadas por Mat-Buildings, que tencionavam Superar a crise do objecto moderno através de uma intervenção transversal às escalas Urbana e arquitectónica. O processo procurou o entendimento do conceito através da Análise da sua materialização nos casos de estudo escolhidos: o Hospital de Veneza De Le Corbusier, o projecto para Frankfurt-Romerberg e a Universidade Livre de Berlim De Candillis, Josic e Woods. O projecto Plataforma Urbana constitui a conclusão da investigação. Através de uma releitura do conceito de Mat-Building e dos seus princípios, pretende-se provar que a sua formalização no interior de uma malha urbana consolidada pode, efectivamente, actuar enquanto elemento regenerador da cidade histórica, mais especificamente, no contexto da antiga Zona Industrial de Alcântara, contrariando o contexto actual de uma certa alienação e dispersão face ao local.

The understanding of such a concept Was reached through the analysis of chosen case studies: the Venice Hospital, by Le Corbusier, the plan for Frankfurt--‐Romerberg and the Berlin Free University by Candillis, Josic and Woods. This investigation culminated in the proposal “Urban Plataform”, which demonstrates, through the re-interpretation of Mat-Buildings’ concepts and principles, that it’s formalization in a consolidated urban fabric can help regenerate a historical city, going against the current dispersion and alienation towards the site. It’s located specifically in the context of the industrial zone of Alcântara.

The traditional approach for the design of steel portal frame building systems is based on the idealised two-dimensional behaviour of a bare internal frame in the system. This approach totally ignores the integral action of other structural components in the system. In order to design the portal frame building system based on its 'true' threedimensional behaviour, it is necessary that other structural components such as steel roof and wall cladding systems and end frames (or their effects) are included in the analysis. In the UK and USA, this has been achieved using the principles of stressedskin (diaphragm) action. However their design is limited to valley-fixed cladding systems and therefore, their results can not be used for crest-fixed cladding systems used in Australia. This thesis describes an improved three dimensional modelling using an equivalent truss member method to simulate steel cladding systems and an improved design method which includes the shear strength of crest-fixed cladding system. It also includes the development of essential cladding data for this process. In the first stage of this research program, a total of 19 shear/racking experiments was carried out on large- scale profiled steel claddings and sandwich panel systems up to a size of 6 m x 6 m. These experiments produced the shear strength and flexibility data required for the improved three dimensional modelling. Despite the use of crest fixing with screw fasteners, the conventional profiled thin steel claddings provided reasonably good shear capacit\~s. The failure was ductile in the case of conventional cladding systems whereas it was brittle and the capacity was the same in the case of stronger sandwich panel systems. Therefore, an improved fastening system was developed which resulted in approximately 2.5 times larger shear strength and improved ductility. The new system had sufficient shear capacity that eliminated the conventional cross bracing members used in portal frame buildings: Analytical formulae were developed to predict the shear strength of these cladding systems and the simple connection tests to obtain the basic tearing loads are described. The results obtained using these formulae agreed well with the corresponding experimental results. The shear strengths of the cladding systems not considered in this investigation can be predicted using these analytical formulae, and the basic tearing loads of connections using the simple connection tests. An improved three-dimensional computer modelling was developed by considering columns, rafters, purlins and girts as beam elements and roof and wall claddings as equivalent truss (tension only) members. Shear flexibility values found experimentally for the steel cladding and sandwich panel systems were used to determine the equivalent truss member sizes required in the improved three dimensional analysis using 'MicroStran'. This model was validated using available full-scale experimental data of a typical portal frame building. This investigation clearly indicated that there are considerable differences between the design actions obtained from the two and three-dimensional modelling and analyses. It revealed the reduction in design action effects when the latter method was used. An improved design method was developed considering the design action effects from the improved three-dimensional computer modelling and the shear strength of the wall and roof cladding system in the bracing design. A typical medium size portal frame building with conventional steel cladding systems was designed using the improved method which showed that reduction in member sizes was small and that cost saving in building was only 4 %. This is mainly because the shear strength and stiffness of the profiled steel cladding systems are not large enough; however, they will be adequate for smaller buildings such as garage and farm sheds. Finally, an innovative port~l frame system incorporating the conventional steel frames, sandwich panels as roof and wall claddings and steel rectangular hollow sections as purlins and girts at wider spacing was developed. The conventional roof and wall cross bracing members were eliminated because of the greater shear capacity of sandwich panel systems. The portal column size was also reduced. The use of improved modelling and design methods thus led to a cost saving of approx. 8 % for the new system. The new system appears to be very efficient and has the potential of becoming the future portal frame system.

The problem of determining an appropriate procurement form for the management of a construction project has been surrounded by controversy and strongly held opinions. The work reported here attempts to indicate some rational basis for choice in this decision by identifying those factors which significantly affect project performance, with particular reference to the distinctions between design build and traditional procurement forms. Two basic propositions are addressed by the work. The former is that design build forms perform better than traditional forms. This view is based on the conventional, construction industry view of the factors which affect performance. The latter is that contextual factors and the management and organisation of the construction process are the major determinants of project performance. This view stems from the application of management theory to the construction process and takes into account more and diverse variables than the conventional view. The factors which affect construction project performance are identified by reviewing three basic areas which are fundamental to the research. The first is the construction process and the way it has been treated and analysed in the past, which has been based around the traditional form of organisation. The second is the perceptions held concerning the design build process and how this procurement form has developed over recent years. A taxonomy of design build organisations is presented. Finally, the literature concerning project management, in general and specifically applied to the construction process, is reviewed and those factors which have been identified as affecting project performance identified. Following on is a review of performance measures which have previously been adopted. Based on this review a number of measures are chosen to compare performance (a mixture of objective and subjective measures). The foregoing leads to the situation where two research models are proposed and tested, by the formulation of related hypotheses, in two separate phases of the research process. A sample of 47 projects was used in the initial phase of the work and this was followed up by 27 detailed case studies in the subsequent phase. The data collected are analysed using partial correlation analysis as the principal analytic tool and the main results are reported below. The primary conclusion to be drawn is that procurement form is not a good predictor of performance. In general, the management, organisation and contextual variables are found to be more strongly associated with performance. Specifically, increased client complexity and dependence are found to be associated with reduced performance, as are increased project complexity and uncertainty. Document certainty and completeness and the degree of competition in letting construction works are all factors found to affect performance. Familiarity and differentiation are organisational factors which are found to be strongly associated with performance. Finally, it is shown that different procurement forms can be located on a structure grid and that those organisations which are appropriately located are associated with higher levels of performance.

To achieve success in today's competitive environment, companies are realising the importance of design collaboration during new product development. The aim of this research was to develop a collaborative design tool for use by industrial designers and engineering designers. To achieve this, a literature review was undertaken to understand the working relationship among the two disciplines during new product development. Following this, empirical research through interviews and observations outlined three problem areas: conflicts in values and principles; differences in education; and differences in representational tools and methods. The latter was chosen because the problem area of design representations was found to be highly significant. In looking at bridging differences in design representations, a taxonomy comprising 35 forms of sketches, drawings, models and prototypes was generated. A second stage of empirical research was conducted to establish the popularity of each representation and the type of design / technical information that industrial designers and engineering designers communicated with. The information was indexed into CoLab cards that would enable the two disciplines to gain joint understanding and create shared knowledge when using visual design representations. Following a pilot evaluation and minor modifications, student and practitioner interviews with a case study were employed to assess the significance of CoLab. The findings revealed that 82% of the interviewees felt CoLab to have built a common ground through the use of visual design representations. 75% gave a positive rating when asked if the system would enhance collaboration and 91% gave the physical cards a positive response as it provided instant access to information and allowed easy sharing. This thesis is a step towards a greater understanding of collaboration between industrial designers and engineering designers. The use of the CoLab system provides the prospect of achieving a common ground between the two disciplines.

The research work presented in this PhD thesis is focused on two research topics which aim is to enhance the sustainability of the modern biorefinery. In fact, the production of an advanced biofuel such as 1-butanol is studied in the first part, while the second part deals with the valorisation of glycerol, which is a biodiesel co-product. Therefore, in the first part of the thesis 1-butanol production by means of the Guerbet reaction is studied. The catalytic synthesis of 1-butanol is more desirable than ABE fermentation because it allows to reach higher productivity, lowering the separation costs. The study is aimed to provide a deeper understanding on the effect of acid and base active sites. Therefore, pure basic alkaline earth metal oxides were synthesized and fully characterized. Afterwards, the oxide which showed the best performance was doped with H3PO4 and its catalytic behaviour was studied. Finally, its performance was compared with that one of hydroxyapatite, even with respect to its lifetime. Dihydroxyacetone, a glycerol derivative, upgrading into lactic acid is the topic of the second part of this work. Glycerol valorisation into chemicals might help to support the economic sustainability of biodiesel production. In fact, its disposal as a waste is expensive and not sustainable according to the biorefinery concept. Therefore, a continuous process aimed at directly upgrading glycerol is highly desirable. The main problem in dihydroxyacetone conversion is the need for water-resistant catalysts. A continuous process is more convenient from both an economical and a technological point of view than a batch one. In this thesis, a thorough study of metal phosphate-based catalysts reactivity in the aqueous phase and in a continuous-feed reactor is presented. The catalysts were fully characterized in order to understand the relationship between their physico-chemical characteristics and catalytic performance.

An investigation into the trajectory of river water quality as a strategic issue for the water industry was conducted within two water organisations. This research traced the profile of this issue on the agenda of the water authorities over twenty years and within the industry over a century. The aim was to gain insights into processes of strategic agenda building and organisational development and change, linking process to performance in the achievement of river quality. A contextualist theory of method was adopted in a comparative case study approach which sought to assess the performance of the two organisations in attaining improvements in river water quality during the time frame. The contextualist methodology necessitated examining the agenda building process from multiple levels and over time. To this end extensive archive research and 40 interviews were conducted.The influence of the wider social environment and the sector in the long term were found to be important in the formation of sector and organisational ideology which conditioned organisational developments. A structurationist approach demonstrated the key social structures and their properties implicated in the formation of organisational ideology and its change, as the water authorities were privatised. A process model of strategic agenda building was developed and extended, based on an earlier model by Dutton (1988). This emphasised the influence of multiple contexts, the role of organisational ideology, issue related activities and the actions of sponsors as important additions to the original model. Further, the use of structuration theory, underpinned by a Realist perspective, outlined a conception of agency based on the causal powers granted by the necessary relations of the organisational structure or ideology, and that agency was granted by organisational members' access to alternative structural systems outside the organisational context. This research concluded that the links between structure, process and performance are implicated in incremental and transformational change, and that the properties of structure were instrumental in the propensity for adaption and change. Finally, organisational processes should accurately reflect the rules of the system for change to work.

Industrial Design in China seldom addresses the issue of sustainability in mass production. Failure to incorporate sustainable design as a core principle will result in long term environmental and economic loss for both business and society. This research studies the current Industrial Design educational system in Mainland China and proposes a new educational framework to engage sustainability as a design objective. This study adopts the philosophical perspectives of constructivism, sustainable design theory, critical pedagogy, and systems thinking. Literature related to sustainability is collected and organized and overlaid with educational constraints identified through the interviews with educators, students, and practitioners of Industrial Design in four major cities of Mainland China. Using the grounded theory approach, from these two sources a new educational framework is proposed. The educational framework categorizes courses in a four year undergraduate Industrial Design educational program into four domains: ecological literacy, artistic, technological, and professional. Suggestions for the appropriate timeline, content, and pedagogical approaches for curriculum are also provided. The proposed framework was then critically reviewed Chinese educators that served as feedback for the final proposition.

La robustezza degli edifici industriali, definita come la capacità della struttura di resistere ad azioni eccezionali come eventi sismici evitando un collasso globale, è uno dei principali argomenti di ricerca a causa della grave perdita umana ed economica che causa la mancanza di tale caratteristica. La maggior parte degli edifici industriali esistenti sono stati realizzati con normative senza specifici standard per strutture prefabbricate in cui la progettazione degli elementi costruttivi si basava sulle singole soluzioni progettuali dei produttori. Le strutture industriali prefabbricate italiane esistenti a grandi luci possono essere suddivise in due categorie principali a seconda dell'evoluzione delle tecniche di prefabbricazione. La prima categoria si sviluppa dai primi anni trenta fino alla metà degli anni sessanta con strutture industriali in c.a. gettate in opera con un uso diffuso di volte leggere prefabbricate per coprire ampie luci, mentre la seconda è prodotta a partire dagli anni cinquanta tutt’ora in uso riguardante la tipica struttura a telaio prefabbricato con tutti gli elementi realizzati in stabilimento ed assemblati sul posto. Nelle prime tipologie di edifici industriali, la robustezza è definita considerando diversi stati limite di deformabilità e resistenza di pilastri e travi combinati con la vulnerabilità specifica del sistema voltato prefabbricato, sapendo che la struttura è soggetta ad una combinazione di eventi sismici ravvicinati nel tempo che portano all'accumulo del danno. Nel secondo caso la robustezza della struttura del telaio prefabbricato è solitamente basata sulle connessioni di elementi strutturali e non (pannelli di tamponamento) e nell'attivazione dell'effetto domino passando dal collasso di tipo locale a quello globale. In questo lavoro sono analizzati diversi modelli ad elementi finiti per rappresentare al meglio il comportamento strutturale lineare e non lineare di entrambi i tipi di strutture prefabbricate considerate.
Robustness of industrial buildings, defined as the capacity of the structure to withstand exceptional actions like seismic events avoiding a global collapse, is one of the main topics of research due to the serious human and economic loss that the lack of such feature could cause. Most of the existing industrial buildings are made with precast elements realised with low-code without specific detailed standards for precast structures in which the technical achievement of them relies on the individual producers with their design solutions. Existing Italian precast structures for large-scale industrial buildings can be divided into two main categories depending on the evolution of prefabrication techniques. The first category was developed from the early thirties up to the mid-sixties, with RC industrial structures cast in place with a widespread use of precast vault to cover a large span, while the second one started to be produced at the beginning of the fifties and is still in use as regards the typical precast frame structure with all its main elements made in factory and assembled in place. In the first type of industrial buildings, only the roof is precast and usually made in reinforced hollow brick light-weight vault and the robustness is defined considering several limit states of chord-rotation and shear capacity of columns and main beams combined with specific vulnerabilities of the precast vault, considering that every seismic sequence is usually a combination of a mainshock and several aftershocks which lead to the damage accumulation on the structure. In the second case the robustness of precast frame structures is usually based on the connections of structural and non-structural elements (cladding panels) and on the activation of the domino effect passing from local to global collapse. In this work several finite element models to best represent the linear and nonlinear structural behaviour of both types of precast structures considered are analysed.
