  3. Structural support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_support

    A roller support cannot prevent translational movements in horizontal or lateral directions and any rotational movement but prevents vertical translations. [1] [5] Its reaction force is a single linear force perpendicular to, and away from, the surface (upward or downward). This support type is assumed to be capable of resisting normal ...

  4. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction)

    Wall framing in house construction includes the vertical and horizontal members of exterior walls and interior partitions, both of bearing walls and non-bearing walls. . These stick members, referred to as studs, wall plates and lintels (sometimes called headers), serve as a nailing base for all covering material and support the upper floor platforms, which provide the lateral strength along a

  5. Hold-up problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold-up_problem

    A solution to the hold-up problem is vertical integration such as a merger in which all parts of the body are being produced internally rather than outside. [20] Vertical integration shifts the ownership of the organizational asset of the firm and therewith creates more flexibility and avoids potential of a hold-up.

    Post and lintel construction of the Airavatesvara Temple, India, a World Heritage Monument site Leinster House in Dublin retains column-shaped pilasters under a pediment for aesthetic reasons. Post and lintel (also called prop and lintel , a trabeated system , or a trilithic system ) is a building system where strong horizontal elements are ...

    Another solution, employed by the Shanghai Tower and the under-construction (2019) Jeddah Tower is for buildings to be created for mixed-use, putting office space in the lower floors as it uses more floorspace. Multistory penthouses and atria—which require little cross-sectional floorspace—are placed towards the top.

  8. Shoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoring

    This consists of a timber member jammed on a pad piece on either the deck or deck head depending on water levels in the compartment and a strong point, this is called the proud. Then there is a horizontal timber cut to size to fit between this and what it is shoring up, e.g. a splinter box, bulkhead or door.

  9. Flow net - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_net

    Construction of a flow net is often used for solving groundwater flow problems where the geometry makes analytical solutions impractical. The method is often used in civil engineering, hydrogeology or soil mechanics as a first check for problems of flow under hydraulic structures like dams or sheet pile walls. As such, a grid obtained by ...
