  2. Prestressed concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete

    Prestressed beam with load. Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially "prestressed" (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service. [1][2]: 3–5 [3] It was patented by Eugène Freyssinet in 1928. [4]

  3. Post (structural) - Wikipedia

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

    Post (structural) A post is a main vertical or leaning support in a structure similar to a column or pillar, the term post generally refers to a timber but may be metal or stone. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] A stud in wooden or metal building construction is similar but lighter duty than a post and a strut may be similar to a stud or act as a brace.

  4. Utility pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_pole

    A pair of shoes can be seen hanging from the wires (center-left, far right) A utility pole is a column or post, usually made out of wood or aluminum alloy, [ 1 ] used to support overhead power lines and various other public utilities, such as electrical cable, fiber optic cable, and related equipment such as transformers and street lights.

  5. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

    Gypsum concrete is a building material used as a floor underlay [ 43 ] used in wood-frame and concrete construction for fire ratings, [ 43 ] sound reduction, [ 43 ] radiant heating, [ 44 ] and floor leveling. It is a mixture of gypsum, Portland cement, and sand. [ 43 ] One of its advantages is the lightweight nature.

  6. Corbel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corbel

    In architecture, a corbel is a structural piece of stone, wood or metal jutting from a wall to carry a superincumbent weight, [ 1 ] a type of bracket. [ 2 ] A corbel is a solid piece of material in the wall, whereas a console is a piece applied to the structure. A piece of timber projecting in the same way was called a "tassel" or a "bragger ...

  7. Rigid-frame bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid-frame_bridge

    Rigid-frame bridge. A Rigid-frame bridge is a bridge in which the superstructure and substructure are rigidly connected to act as a continuous unit. Typically, the structure is cast monolithically, making the structure continuous from deck to foundation. The connections between members are rigid connections which transfer bending moment, axial ...

  8. Anchor bolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_bolt

    Column-to-foundation connection [1] Anchor bolts are used to connect structural and non-structural elements to concrete. [2] The connection can be made by a variety of different components: anchor bolts (also named fasteners), steel plates, or stiffeners. Anchor bolts transfer different types of load: tension forces and shear forces.

  9. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

    Reinforcing schemes are generally designed to resist tensile stresses in particular regions of the concrete that might cause unacceptable cracking and/or structural failure. Modern reinforced concrete can contain varied reinforcing materials made of steel, polymers or alternate composite material in conjunction with rebar or not.
