How is concrete measured?
Cubic feet, Cubic yards
Which is stronger solid steel bar or hollow steel pipe?
On a per pound basis, the steel pipe is stronger in flexion and is less likely to buckle in axial compression.
What is the highest structure in the world?
The tallest structure of the man is the KVLY-TV mast that measures 2063 feet in height. The tallest man in the world made structure is Burj Dubai, which is 800 meters high.
What is the excavation about?
The excavations are prepared to prevent the collapse of the surrounding unstable soil.
What is the meaning of soil reinforcement?
The reinforcement of the soil is the act of improving the resistance of the soil to allow it to support or transport more load.
Two common examples are:
A) Mixing of a soil amendment such as lime in weak clayey soils and re-comPACT to improve soil caPAcity (often under the road base in road construction)
B) Laying of layers of plastic or composite material (called geo-grid) alternating with coma soil to produce a stronger tilted floor structure (often made in steep embankments to improve strength and stability)
What is added?
Aggregate is the component of a composite material used to withstand the compressive stress.
In what year was the keystone power plant built in Indiana County?
1967 began commercial operation in unit 1.
What is the force exerted by the narrow bridge of Tacoma?
The force exerted on the narrow bridge of Tacoma was initially the resistance to the wind. The wind resistance caused the entire bridge to act as a system with forced vibration with damping.
What are the uses of alloys in everyday life and how are alloys made?
The alloy is not always made to produce a "higher" material, but to produce materials having a desired requirement in the industry or elsewhere. A classic case is lead solder (containing lead and tin), in which the melting point of the constituent elements is reduced, not necessarily a desirable property.
The alloy may be carried out using a hot pressing method (a sheet of material is sandwiched with alloying material), winding the heated base metal into a drum filled with alloy metal powder, using hot spray, galvanizing Of the base in a molten solution of alloy Material) etc. Sometimes the alloying material is added in small proportions to the molten base metal (for example, in the production of different types of steel).
10 What is the largest concrete dam in the world?
It is said that the Grand Coulee Dam is the largest concrete dam. Currently the largest concrete dam in the world is the dam Itaipu, achievement of two neighboring countries, Brazil and Paraguay in South America.
Although not yet completed, the Three Gorges Dam (or Sandapong) on the Yangtze River in China will take over as the largest on its completion, which is scheduled for 2009.
What are the main reasons for the collapse of the building?
There are several reasons for building collapse. The passage of time is the main reason. Also, weak foundations, natural calamities like earthquakes, hurricanes, etc., are the main reasons for the collapse of the building. Bombing and destruction is also another important reason.
Indicate the applications of the modulus of elasticity.
The modulus of elasticity is related to the flexibility of the material. The value of the modulus of elasticity is quite important in case of deviation of different materials used in the construction of buildings.
How are the freeway bridges built?
It calculates the traffic that will probably pass through the bridge at a time and will place the cement, pushed with corrugated posts on the highway to build a bridge. From the highway to the bridge and the ramp from the bridge to the freeway are built. Cement slabs are used to build a platform.
What is the basic difference in absorption, adsorption and sorption?
Absorption refers to the phenomenon in which an atom, molecule or ions enter into any volume phase such as gas, solid or liquid. Absorption refers to the phenomenon in which the energy of the photon is transferred to another entity.
Adsorption is similar to absorption. It refers to the surface rather than a volume. Adsorption occurs when the gas or liquid solute accumulates on the surface of the solid. A substance diffuses into liquid or solid to form a solution.
