5.Conceptul de sistem in constructii

Printre diferitele definiii propuse pentru notiunea generala de sistem, urmatoarea se pare a fi cea mai potrivita : Un sistem reprezint o colecie de obiecte, interacionnd unul cu altul, care reacioneaz ntr-un mod specific i predictibil la oricare schimbare ce are loc n ambiana lui. Caracteristica fundamentala a conceptului de sistem const n validitatea principiului de unitate i interdependen intre pri i si a intregului; ceea ce inseamna ca o entitate complex nu permite izolarea niciunui element component i analizarea lui n absena altor componente. O alta caracteristic importanta a teoriei de sistem este reprezentata de caracterul ei universal, atat prin limbaj cat si ca domeniu de activitate.

5. The System Concept

Among different definitions proposed for the general notion of system, the following one seems the most appropriate: A system represents a collection of objects, interacting to each other, which reacts in a specific and predictable way to any change occurring in its environment. A fundamental characteristic of the system concept consists in the validity of the principle of unity and interdependence of parts and of the whole; this means that a complex entity does not allow the isolation of any component part and its investigation in the absence of the other components. Another important feature of the theory of systems is represented by its universal character , in terms of both language and instruments used.

Aplicarea conceptului de sistem in constructii Complexitatea fizica a unei cldiri face obligatorie aplicarea conceptului de sistem considerandu-se cldirea ca un ansamblu de elemente interconectate unul cu celalalt i cu mediul ambiant si care coopereaza pentru a indeplini diferite functiuni. Aceasta structurare pe criterii functionale divide fiecare sistem in subsisteme ce vor avea o functiune proprie ce trebuie indeplinita indiferent de rezolvarea constructiv tehnologica concreta. Fiecare subsistem al sistemului cladire este un sistem in raport cu propria lui structura, si poate fi descompus mai departe in subansambluri constructive subansamblurile se pot descompune la randul lor in elemente constructive si elementele in componente

Applying the Concept to Buildings

The extreme physical complexity of a building makes compulsory, the application of system concept by considering the building as an ensemble of elements interconnected to each other and to the environment, which cooperate to fullfill certain functions. The first step consists in the construction of an adequate model of breaking up the building, corresponding to several hierarchic levels. Such a model should achieve a functional break-up of the building system into several subsystems, each one being characterised by a global specific function. These subsystems can be considered as a system with respect to its own internal structure and functionality, made up of a number of subensembles. Each subensemble - considered to be organised as a system too is composed of elements, interconnected in such a way that they form a physical/functional entity. Many elements possess a physical/functional structure of enough complexity that can justify their breaking up into components.

Daca se elimina subsistemele de instalatii si echipamente un astfel de model are cinci subsisteme: spatiul inchis=volumul separat de cladire din mediul natural inchis si protejat in raport cu acesta structura=portiunea din sistemul cladire care ii asigura acestuia rezistenta si stabilitatea mecanica

anvelopa= portiunea din sistemul cladire care ii asigura inchiderea in raport cu mediul natural separatiile interioare= portiunile sistemului cladire neaflate in contact cu exteriorul si care compartimenteaza spatiul inchis separatiile exterioare = portiunile adiacente anvelopei si aflate in contact numai cu mediul exterior.

SUBSYSTEMS
For current-type civil buildings, at a first hierarchic level of break-up, the building system includes the following subsystems: indoor space units created by partitioning the whole building indoor space in accordance with functional requirements; structure, i.e. that part of the building ensuring its mechanical strength and stability;

 enclosure, i.e. that part of the building separating it from the outdoor natural environment;

interior partitions, i.e. those parts of the building (without contact with the outdoor environment) dividing its whole indoor space into indoor space units exterior partitions, i.e. those parts of the building enclosure subsystem that is in continuous contact with the outdoor environment Here maybe also added the installation and equipments subsystems EX: frame structure, floors or roofs structures

Performances

 Conceptul de abordare de performanta (performance approach) a fost introdus in domeniul industrial inca din anii 50 de catre cercetatorii americani, pentru a ordona conceptia si proiectarea, inovarea tehnica si tehnologica si procedurile de control al calitatii conceptiei, proiectarii si executiei Mai tarziu, s-a introdus si in constructii teoria conceptului de performanta ca fiind un instrument destinat sa rationalizeze activitatile legate de producerea unei constructii, sa stimuleze progresul tehnic, orientandu-le spre asigurarea conditiilor si criteriilor de satisfacere a cerintelor utilizatorilor. Prima etapa in aplicarea teoriei conceptului de performanta in constructii este formularea exigentelor utilizatorilor, ceea ce nu se poate face decat in termeni calitativi, fara a se referi la o solutie concreta.

 From the viewpoint of its contents, working out and application, the performance concept in building construction represents a systematic procedure to establish the characteristics of buildings and of their component parts in order to get satisfactory response to all exigencies expressed by those involved in their utilisation. All definitions proposed for the performance concept emphasise as a fundamental issue the fact that this kind of approach does not start from what a product is and what it represents, but from what a product must provide, no matter what the concrete solution would be. This concept is defined as an instrument aiming at rationalising both design and execution, stimulating promotion of technical progress and innovative solutions oriented towards ensuring conditions and specifying criteria able to satisfy as completely as possible users requirements.

 The starting point in a building performance analysis consists in the identification of its users exigencies (requirements). Since the list of users exigencies must be set up for a specified functional type of building and not for a particular building, it becomes compulsory that this operation have a high degree of generalisation. An exigency of building users represents the statement of one of their necessities related to the respective type of building. This statement is expressed in qualitative terms only, without reference to any particular solution.

 The second step in a performance analysis consists in the conversion of users exigencies (requirements) into performance exigencies presently called in Romanian documents, technical conditions of performance -, which are qualitative requirements associated with different physical and functional divisions of a building. The list thus worked out should be addressed to a potential solution, with no definite specification of means for its achievement. The third step in a performance approach consists in establishing performance criteria, expressed quantitatively, to be used for assessing the degree of fulfilment for each performance exigency. More recently, an alternative term has been introduced for this notion (which is also presently used in Romanian documents), namely performance parameters.

The performance parameters are measurable characteristics associated with a building subsystem, which makes possible to quantify the degree of fulfilment for a certain performance exigency (technical condition of performance ) imposed to the respective subsystem. Performance parameters are intended to exert a control of achievement of the objective stated by the corresponding technical conditions of performance. Any performance parameter must have: - its own notation; - a specified unit of measurement; - a physical significance, precise and non-equivocal; - a computational model or an experimental procedure for assessing quantitative values.

 The forth step consists in associating each performance parameter with a certain limit value (either maximum or minimum) or with a range of values, considered as compulsory. This is presently known as performance level and represents a reference value of the respective performance parameter, taken as a basis for evaluation its degree of fulfilment. The performance level associated to any performance parameter is specified by technical regulations. Any solution provided by the design of a building must comply with the levels of performance specified by appropriate technical regulations. The values corresponding to the design solutions are termed design performances.

 Listarea exigentelor nu se poate face decat pe tipuri functionale de cladire, si nu pe fiecare tip de cladire in parte. A doua etapa pe care o presupune abordarea de performanta este convertirea exigentelor (cerintelor) utilizatorilor in exigente tehnice asociate unor diviziuni tehnice si functionale ale cladirii. Exigente tehnice=exigente de performanta =conditii tehnice de performanta=enuntul calitativ al unei insusiri pe care trebuie sa o aiba un subsistem al unei cladiri A treia etapa este stabilirea criteriilor de apreciere a gradului de satisfacere a fiecarei exigente de performanta (criterii de performanta)=parametri de performanta=o caracteristica masurabila a unui subsistem cu care se poate cuantifica gradul de indeplinire a unei conditii tehnice de performanta impuse acestuia

 Fiecare parametru de performanta are O notatie proprie O unitate de masura O semnificatie fizica precisa si univoca Un model de evaluare prin calcul si/sau o metoda de determinare pe cale experimentala Ultima etapa a abordarii de performanta este asociereafiecarui parametru de performanta unei valori limita, minima sau maxima, numita nivel de performanta = valoarea de referinta a unui parametru de performanta in raport cu care se evalueaza indeplinirea acestuia.
Nivelul de performanta asociat unui parametru de performanta este precizat si impus prin reglementarile tehnice

de specialitate.

Directiva Europeana 89/106 CEEsi Legea 10 referitoare la Calitatea in Constructii n cadrul activitilor desfasurate de Uniunea Europeana, a fost elaborat un sistem de documente cuprinztor i bine organizat privitor la activitatea in constructii. Una dintre caracteristicile cele mai importante este maniera exigentiala n care sunt concepute fiind n esen diferit de unul tradiional descriptiv. Un document de baz n aceasta directie, Directiva Europeana 89/106 EEC, a fost prezentata statelor membre UE n decembrie 1988 i a fost pusa n aplicare exact trei ani mai tarziu. Premisele principale pentru publicare acest document au fost:

7.The Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) Within the framework of European Union activities, a comprehensive and well-organised system of documents concerning constructions has been developed over the last two decades. One of the most important features of these documents lies in the fact that they are conceived and written in an exigential manner, thus being essentially different from the traditional descriptive ones. A basic document in this respect, the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) was notified to the EU member states in December 1988 and implemented exactly three years later. The main premises for issuing this document were:

 all member countries wish to ensure that on their territories construction works are achieved so that, alongside with safety of humans, domestic animals and property, all other exigencies of general interest will be secured;

in all member countries, alongside with regulations related to safety exigencies of buildings, there are also provisions concerning users health, economy of energy, environmental protection, durability, economical aspects of building construction and exploitation etc;
all member countries do have national regulations for all kinds of exigencies, thus enabling the issuance of corresponding European harmonised regulations.

 The Directive describes a construction product as any product that is created for incorporation in a permanent manner in construction works.To fall within the scope of the Directive, a product must meet four criteria: it must be produced; placed upon the market; incorporated in a permanent manner in the works; relate to at least one of the Essential Requirements. The Construction Products Directive requires that construction products are fit for the purpose for which they are intended and that they may satisfy national regulations. A number of six Essential Requirements are set out in the Directive; at least one of them must apply to the product in use.

The list of Essential Requirements associated to buildings includes: 1. Mechanical resistance and stability 2. Safety in case of fire 3. Hygiene, health and environment 4. Safety in use 5. Protection against noise 6. Energy economy and heat retention.

All these requirements are stated in the form of objectives, as exemplified below for some of them: Mechanical resistance and stability. A construction must be conceived, designed and achieved so that, under the actions likely to occur during its service (life) period, none of the following events occurs: - total or partial failure (collapse); - excessive deformations and deflections; - damage of certain parts of the construction works, fitting or equipment, due to significant deformations of structural elements; - damage resulting from accidental events, excessively large with respect to the magnitude of the event. Safety in case of fire. A construction must be conceived, designed and achieved so that, if fire breaks out: - stability of structural elements, as well as their capacity to support loads, be maintained for a specified period of time;

- spread of fire and smoke within the construction or to neighbouring works be limited; - occupants be allowed to escape or to be rescued; - emergency squads can operate quickly, efficiently and without excessive risks

It is specified that, under the condition of normal maintenance, all essential requirements associated to a building must be satisfied over its entire life period economically reasonable. This last specification is translated as that period of time during which building performances can be maintained at a level consistent with the fulfillment of essential requirements, depending on: - costs associated to the situation when the building becomes unusable; - risks and consequences of construction failure, togheter with costs related to insurance against them; - estimated partial refurbishment works; - maintenance cost; - demolition cost; - environmental (ecological ) costs resulting from either maintaining the building in use or demolishing it.

 The Romanian regulations presently in force that govern the application of performance concept to buildings are generated by the Law of Quality in Constructions (Law No. 10/1995). The Essential Requirements specified by this law and by all connected regulations are consistent with those included in the Construction Products Directive and its associated Interpretative Documents issued by the European Economic Community (see 2.3.2.). They appears as: A. Resistance and stability; B. Safety in use; C. Safety against fire; D. Hygiene peoples, health, restoration and protection of environment; E. Thermal insulation, waterproofing and economy of energy; F. Protection against noise.
