Computer viking posted:An anleggsbrakke, plus the usual Danish/Norwegian mangling? Yeah, I genuinely have no idea what that'd be in English either. I think the technical term is something like "modular workplace housing". I think we'd call that in the UK a 'static caravan'. Like a portable house that arrive on the back of a lorry and is dropped/craned into place.

That sounds exactly right, yeah - my father taught primary school classes in them for several years while they were rebuilding. This sort of thing: https://reblock.no/produkter/byggmoduler/anlegg/anleggsbrakker/ .

I had classes in the portables all throughout my school years. Even the library at one of my schools was just a really big portable. I guess the "correct" term would be prefabricated building or just prefab. Learned that when we were looking at mobile homes and the dealer was very insistent on calling them "prefabricated homes" as if he took personal offense to the term "mobile home".

The crux of that being that what we call a trailer here in the deep south (and apparently in wherever Canadian Province Trailer Park Boys was in) is technically capabable of having the axles removed once its in place, very rarely happens.

Doing a job where we were removing 4 dormers from an old home. Was the first time I encountered "structural bat poo poo". Our helper noted that dirt was falling out of the ceiling and my partner and I looked at each other and told him to get out of there. As luck would have it we all had our full face respirators and the big shop vac.

My middle school probably had more of these than actual classrooms, at the time it was one of the biggest middle schools in the country. We just called them trailers though.

Portables were also massive mould magnets. Here in Canada there were stats showing that kids in portables were scoring lower than ones in regular classrooms and teachers were noting that they were feeling off. It wasn't until about 20 years after their widespread use that someone ripped open a wall and called the media.

I legitimately love that flooring though. Related: I am in the process of buying a house that has a very amateurishly tiled black and white shower surround and I can't wait to show you guys the gout work on it. It got inspected today and I didn't get to go because I had to work but I told my husband to make sure the inspector checked the bathroom closely because I didn't trust whoever redid it. Apparently it's just sloppy, though.

We don’t have like, people who care about the health of children here, so no one has ever ripped any walls open. But for a moment I want you to imagine portables in south Florida, in the early nineties. Fields of the things. My elementary school covered an entire pair of baseball fields with portables. They were the WAY OF THE FUTURE (for school districts with poo poo for brains planners.) I remember being able to see the air in the mornings when the sunlight would stream in through the blinds and highlight all the poo poo floating in the air currents from the hilariously overworked window unit air conditioner. It occurs to me now that we were in the midst of a fungal orgy.

Maybe it’s just the perspective of the garage camera, but it looks like that pool had a base of only a couple inches of concrete. I wonder how long it lasted. Like did they fill it that morning, or had it been a few weeks/months.

The first shot shows, I would guess, about a foot worth of floor between the bottom of the pool and the top of the ceiling of the lower floor. Clearly inadequate, whatever it was.

portables: the district here always built schools to exact student capacity, despite the fact that the population was growing rapidly, so almost every school had a few. at my high school, they sort of cherry-picked a few undesirables (in-school suspension, special ed, FFA, trigonometry) and put those teachers in portables. I think they're not allowed to do that anymore (partly bc it would involve students going outside unsupervised) also, kastein posted:We regret to inform our guests that effective immediately, the garage is for carpool use only. lol

The Baby Boomers kids formed a Baby bump, a temporary increase in kids growing up in the 70s and 80s. Rather than build new schools for this "temporary" increase, schools built portables. Later there was over capacity in some areas when those kids grew up. Time to tear down the temporary portables? No, keep the portables and sell the excess schools.

I wouldn’t go back in that building. IIRC, They used round tube columns instead a rectangular tube columns. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.upi.com/amp/Archives/1981/10/23/Everybody-is-probably-shocked-and-thankful/7875372657600/

That wouldn’t matter, any kind of column can buckle if the load on it is too big for its unbraced length (span in which it can move sideways freely) and its radius of gyration (the measure of how well the cross-sectional shape resists buckling based on how much area it has and how far away that area is from the center of the column). If they had the same unbraced length and the same radius of gyration, a square tube column and a round tube column will buckle under the same load

If they had the same unbraced length and the same radius of gyration, a square tube column and a round tube column will buckle under the same load A square HSS has more steel area and strength for a given maximum dimension, so for example a 10x10x1/2 has a 17.2 square inch area, whereas the 10x1/2 circular is 13.9. The square HSS also has a higher moment of inertia because more of its area is at the maximum distance from the center in each direction (since bending is across an axis perpendicular to the axial load), so it has much higher buckling strength. A circular column is worse at buckling because across any given bending axis only a small portion of its area is the full distance from the bending axis. In this case, the 10x10x1/2 has 256 in^4 moment of inertia, and the round has 159 in^4. So the hypothetical column that's square HSS can be expected to be 50% stronger and 50% more resistive to elastic buckling.
