  2. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

    Plastic reinforcement often is stronger, or at least has a better strength to weight ratio than reinforcing steels. Also, because it resists corrosion, it does not need a protective concrete cover as thick as steel reinforcement does (typically 30 to 50 mm or more). FRP-reinforced structures therefore can be lighter and last longer.

  3. Tensioned stone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensioned_stone

    In 2005, a prototype of the first post-tensioned spiral stone staircase was made, called "Escalier Ridolfi". It was designed by Claudio D'Amato and Giuseppe Fallacara. [41] In 2006, the full-scale Escalier Ridolfi staircase was presented at the Venice Biennale of Architecture, constructed by Ateliers Romeo stonemasons [42]

  4. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    The calculation of reinforcement requirements for a one-way slab can be extremely tedious and time-consuming, and one can never be completely certain of the best design. [citation needed] Even minor changes to the project can necessitate recalculation of the reinforcement requirements. There are many factors to consider during the structural ...

  5. Reinforced concrete column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_Concrete_Column

    A reinforced concrete column is a structural member designed to carry compressive loads, composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide reinforcement. For design purposes, the columns are separated into two categories: short columns and slender columns.

  6. Architectural drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_drawing

    An architectural drawing or architect's drawing is a technical drawing of a building (or building project) that falls within the definition of architecture.Architectural drawings are used by architects and others for a number of purposes: to develop a design idea into a coherent proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to convince clients of the merits of a design, to assist a building ...

  7. Shop drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shop_drawing

    The shop drawings should include information for the architect and engineer to compare to the specifications and drawings. The shop drawing should address the appearance, performance, and prescriptive descriptions in the specifications and construction drawings. [2]

  9. Rebar detailing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar_detailing

    Rebar detailing is the discipline of preparing 'shop/placing' or 'fabrication' drawings or shop drawings of steel reinforcement for construction.. Engineers prepare 'design drawings' that develop required strengths by applying rebar size, spacing, location, and lap of steel.
