2. Cast-in-place concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast-in-place_concrete

   Cast-in-place concrete or Cast-in-situ concrete is a technology of construction of buildings where walls and slabs of the buildings are cast at the site in formwork. [1] This differs from precast concrete technology where slabs are cast elsewhere and then brought to the construction site and assembled. [ 2 ]

3. Coping (architecture) - Wikipedia

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

   A bridge on the Lancaster Canal, featuring coping stones linked by large metal "staples".. Coping (from cope, Latin capa) is the capping or covering of a wall. [1] A splayed or wedge coping is one that slopes in a single direction; a saddle coping slopes to either side of a central high point.

4. Grade beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_beam

   Grade beam. A grade beam or grade beam footing is a component of a building's foundation. It consists of a reinforced concrete beam that transmits the load from a bearing wall into spaced foundations such as pile caps or caissons. [1]

5. Underpinning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underpinning

   These are normally linked by a beam. The pile and beam system usually involves constructing pairs of piles on either side of the wall and linking them with a pile cap to support the wall. The pile caps are usually linked by reinforced concrete beams to support the entire length of the wall.

6. Course (architecture) - Wikipedia

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

   This is the simplest arrangement of masonry units. If the wall is two wythes thick, one header is used to bind the two wythes together. [3] Header course: This is a course made up of a row of headers. [1] Bond course: This is a course of headers that bond the facing masonry to the backing masonry. [1] Plinth: The bottom course of a wall.

7. Tilt up - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_up

   A finished tilt-up building. Tilt-up, tilt-slab or tilt-wall is a type of building and a construction technique using concrete.Though it is a cost-effective technique with a shorter completion time, [1] poor performance in earthquakes has mandated significant seismic retrofit requirements in older buildings.

8. Precast concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete

   Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and maneuvered into place; examples include precast beams, and wall panels, floors, roofs, and piles.

9. Slurry wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slurry_wall

   A slurry wall is a civil engineering technique used to build reinforced concrete walls in areas of soft earth close to open water, or with a high groundwater table. [1] This technique is typically used to build diaphragm (water-blocking) walls surrounding tunnels and open cuts, and to lay foundations .
