Franki piles can be used as high-capacity deep foundation elements without the necessity of excavation or dewatering. [4] They are useful in conditions where a sufficient bearing soil can only be reached deeper in the ground, [5] [6] and are best suited to granular soil where bearing is primarily achieved from the densification of the soil around the base. [4]
A regular n-gon has a solid construction if and only if n=2 a 3 b m where a and b are some non-negative integers and m is a product of zero or more distinct Pierpont primes (primes of the form 2 r 3 s +1). Therefore, regular n-gon admits a solid, but not planar, construction if and only if n is in the sequence
1. Center line, the central axis of a feature. 2. Class, for example, "paint per spec XYZ revision C type 1 class 2" may be abbreviated as "paint per spec XYZ REV C TY 1 CL 2" or even in some cases "paint per spec XYZ-C-1-2". (The latter practice is not uncommon but is cryptic for workers with minimal training and experience. The first two ...
Stuart [1] was the first pioneer to study the interference phenomenon of closely spaced surface strip footing. He examined the effect of footing interference on ultimate bearing capacity of strip footings by theoretical analysis using limit equilibrium method, assuming a non-linear failure surface wherein the cross-section composed of logarithmic spiral and straight line portion tangent to the ...
The first expanded polystyrene ICF Wall forms were developed in the late 1960s with the expiration of the original patent and the advent of modern foam plastics by BASF. [citation needed] Canadian contractor Werner Gregori filed the first patent for a foam concrete form in 1966 with a block "measuring 16 inches high by 48 inches long with a tongue-and-groove interlock, metal ties, and a waffle ...
[8] Chamfer A transitional edge, often 45 degrees, formed by paring down an arris diagonally. [9] Some buildings may be chamfered such that the base is octagonal. Chancel (also Presbytery) In church architecture, the space around the altar at the east end of a traditional Christian church building, including the choir and sanctuary. Chandrashala
9/11 Quotes • "Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11." — President Obama in ...
[6] [7] [8] Depending on the configuration of braces, the building codes in the United States [9] allow the use of a response modification factor up to 8, that is comparable to special moment resisting frames (SMRFs); a higher response modification is associated with greater ductility, and thus enhanced post-yielding performance.
