  2. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings, consisting of a flat, horizontal surface made of cast concrete. Steel-reinforced slabs, typically between 100 and 500 mm thick, are most often used to construct floors and ceilings, while thinner mud slabs may be used for exterior paving (see below). [1] [2]

  3. Schmidt hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_hammer

    The rebound reading will be affected by the orientation of the hammer: when used oriented upward (for example, on the underside of a suspended slab), gravity will increase the rebound distance of the mass, and vice versa for a test conducted on a floor slab. Schmidt hammer measurements are on an arbitrary scale ranging from 10 to 100.

  4. Specific surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_surface_area

    Specific surface area (SSA) is a property of solids defined as the total surface area (SA) of a material per unit mass, [1] (with units of m 2 /kg or m 2 /g). Alternatively, it may be defined as SA per solid or bulk volume [2] [3] (units of m 2 /m 3 or m −1).

  5. Here’s What Building a House Actually Costs Today - AOL

    The average cost to build a house in 2024 is $329,000, or about $150 per square foot, according to Forbes. However, that figure comes with a huge caveat: The price of building a home varies widely ...

  6. Formwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formwork

    Formwork tables in use at a building site with more complicated structural features. Crane fork or elevator handled: By this approach the tables are limited in size and weight. Typical widths are between 6 and 10 feet (1.8 and 3.0 m), typical lengths are between 12 and 20 feet (3.7 and 6.1 m), though table sizes may vary in size and form.

  7. Surface energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_energy

    E slab is the total energy of surface slab obtained using density functional theory. N is the number of atoms in the surface slab. E bulk is the bulk energy per atom. A is the surface area. For a slab, we have two surfaces and they are of the same type, which is reflected by the number 2 in the denominator.

  8. Suspended structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspended_structure

    A suspended structure is a structure which is supported by cables coming from beams or trusses which sit atop a concrete center column or core. The design allows the walls, roof and cantilevered floors to be supported entirely by cables and a center column.

  9. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    The factor–label method, also known as the unit–factor method or the unity bracket method, [1] is a widely used technique for unit conversions that uses the rules of algebra. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
