    A hold-down may also refer to clamping device used to anchor a pipe to a structural steel element or concrete floor or allow movement of the pipe in an axial direction. [1] At the bottom, the hold down is connected to the concrete foundation or structural slab by an embedded or epoxied anchor bolt. At the top, the hold down is connected to a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast-track_construction

    The crowding problems were acute because the delivery of design and construction for academic buildings usually took 4 to 6 years. Meanwhile, the high rate of inflation was eroding construction budgets. [7] A 4-5 year project schedule might see the buying power of appropriated funds for building projects reduced significantly.

  4. Filigree concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filigree_concrete

    The Filigree Wideslab method is a process for construction of concrete floor decks from two interconnected concrete placements, one precast in a factory, and the other done in the field. The method was developed during the late 1960s by Harry H. Wise as a more efficient and economic construction process than conventional cast-in-place ...

  5. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    Concrete has similar thermal properties to masonry products, in that it has a relatively high thermal mass and is a good conductor of heat. In some special cases, the thermal properties of concrete have been employed, for example as a heatsink in nuclear power plants or a thermal buffer in industrial freezers. [6]

    It has most often been used together with reinforced concrete floors, but plans are in place to use it with cross-laminated timber floors, and post-tensioned stone floors. Reinforcing massive precut stone with post-tensioning reinforcement would make it strong enough to substitute for reinforced concrete in a wide range of applications.

    Notice the sleeves, fastened to the timber forms before the concrete is cast. improper sleeving in a drywall assembly. In construction , a sleeve is used both by the electrical and mechanical trades to create a penetration in a solid wall, ceilling or floor.

  8. Solid ground floor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_ground_floor

    A solid ground floor consists of a layer of concrete, which in the case of a domestic building will be the surface layer brought up to ground floor level with hardcore filling under it. The advantage of a solid ground floor is the elimination of dry rot and other problems normally associated with hollow joisted floors.

  9. Windpost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windpost

    In most cases a windpost is a large and very unwieldy element that can often weigh in excess of 400 kg. The manufacture and delivery of both steel and concrete windposts has a significant carbon footprint and once delivered to site, their storage requires large areas to be set aside. The procurement of windposts, including the design process ...
