6.1.2.5.1 Semantic definition

This enumeration identifies different types of building systems.

6.1.2.5.2 Type values

Type Description
EROSIONPREVENTION

A grouping of elements into a built system for preventing unwanted relocation of material particles in earthworks slopes or rock faces. Typical types of erosion prevention include: * Planting * Solid * Framework * Anchored framework * Shotcrete * Screening * Geosynthetics (geotextiles)

FENESTRATION

System of doors, windows, and other fillings in openings in a built envelope that are designed to permit the passage of air or light.

FOUNDATION

System of shallow and deep foundation element that transmit forces to the supporting ground.

LOADBEARING

System of built elements that transmit forces and stiffen the construction.

OUTERSHELL

System of built elements that provide the outer skin to protect the construction (such as the facade).

PRESTRESSING

System of elements providing pre-stressing to the structure, including typically manufactured products such as tendons, anchorages (active, dead, coupling), ducts, vents and deviators, and in-situ concrete segments, tendon spacers, blisters and additional reinforcements.

REINFORCING

System of elements providing reinforcing to the structure.

SHADING

System of shading elements (external or internal) that permits the limitation or control of impact of natural sun light.

TRANSPORT

System of all transport elements in a building that enables the transport of people or goods.
