  2. Damp proofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_proofing

    In a masonry cavity wall, there is usually a DPC in both the outer and inner wall. [8] In the outer wall it is normally 150 millimetres (5.9 in) to 200 mm (7.9 in) above ground level (the height of 2-3 brick courses). This allows rain to form puddles and splash up off the ground, without saturating the wall above DPC level.

  3. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    Today, the mechanics of the drafting task have largely been automated and accelerated through the use of computer-aided design systems (CAD). There are two types of computer-aided design systems used for the production of technical drawings: two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D). An example of a drawing drafted in AutoCAD

  4. Power electronic substrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronic_substrate

    The role of the substrate in power electronics is to provide the interconnections to form an electric circuit (like a printed circuit board), and to cool the components.. Compared to materials and techniques used in lower power microelectronics, these substrates must carry higher currents and provide a higher voltage isolation (up to several thousand vo

  5. Curtain wall (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtain_wall_(architecture)

    Unlike storefront systems, curtain wall systems are designed to span multiple floors, taking into consideration building sway and movement and design requirements such as thermal expansion and contraction; seismic requirements; water diversion; and thermal efficiency for cost-effective heating, cooling, and interior lighting.

  6. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    In many cases, damp is caused by "bridging" of a damp-proof course that is otherwise working effectively. For example, a flower bed next to an affected wall might result in soil being piled up against the wall above the level of the DPC. In this example, moisture from the ground would be able to ingress through the wall from the soil.

  7. Scanning transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission...

    Differential phase contrast (DPC) is an imaging mode which relies on the beam being deflected by electromagnetic fields. In the classical case, the fast electrons in the electron beam is deflected by the Lorentz force, as shown schematically for a magnetic field in the figure to the left.

  8. Engineering brick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_brick

    Wolverton Viaduct on the West Coast Main Line. Engineering bricks are a type of brick used where strength, low water porosity or acid (flue gas) resistance are needed. . Engineering bricks can be used for damp-proo

  9. Shop drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shop_drawing

    The shop drawing normally shows more detail than the construction documents. It is drawn to explain the fabrication and/or installation of the items to the manufacturer’s production crew or contractor's installation crews. The style of the shop drawing is usually very different from that of the architect’s drawing.
