  2. Bush hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_hammer

    A bush-hammered concrete surface. Bush hammers exist in many forms, from simple hand-held hammers to large electric machines, but the basic functional property of the tool is always the same – a grid of conical or pyramidal points at the end of a large metal slug.

  3. Drill bushing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bushing

    A drill bushing, also known as a jig bushing, [1] is a tool used in metalworking jigs to guide cutting tools, most commonly drill bits. Other tools that are commonly used in a drill bushing include counterbores, countersinks, and reamers. They are designed to guide, position, and support the cutting tool. [2]

  4. Powder-actuated tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder-actuated_tool

    Powder-actuated tools come in high-velocity and low-velocity types. In high-velocity tools, the propellant charge acts directly on the fastener in a process similar to a firearm. Low-velocity tools introduce a piston into the chamber. The propellant acts on the piston, which then drives the fastener into the substrate.

  5. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    The diameter of the equivalent large format round shape is rounded to the nearest 1 ⁄ 8 inch to provide the bar size. For example, #9 bar has a cross section of 1.00 square inch (6.5 cm 2 ), and therefore a diameter of 1.128 inches (28.7 mm). #10, #11, #14, and #18 sizes correspond to 1 1 ⁄ 8 inch, 1 1 ⁄ 4 , 1 1 ⁄ 2 , and 2-inch square ...

  6. Hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer

    A large hammer-like tool is a maul (sometimes called a "beetle"), a wood- or rubber-headed hammer is a mallet, and a hammer-like tool with a cutting blade is usually called a hatchet. The essential part of a hammer is the head, a compact solid mass that is able to deliver a blow to the intended target without itself deforming.

  7. Interference fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_fit

    The tightness of fit is controlled by amount of interference; the allowance (planned difference from nominal size). Formulas exist [2] to compute allowance that will result in various strengths of fit such as loose fit, light interference fit, and interference fit. The value of the allowance depends on which material is being used, how big the ...

  8. List of screw and bolt types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_and_bolt_types

    The screw itself should be drilled a minimum of 1" into the concrete to hold effectively and a maximum of 1-3/4" or the threads will wear and will lose holding power. Ideally 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" of screw thread in the concrete. [1] So for example, if a 1/2" board is being screwed onto the concrete, a 1-3/4" to 2" concrete screw should be used ...

  9. Concrete slump test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slump_test

    The test is carried out using a metal mould in the shape of a conical frustum known as a slump cone or Abrams cone, that is open at both ends and has attached handles.The tool typically has an internal diameter of 100 millimetres (3.9 in) at the top and of 200 millimetres (7.9 in) at the bottom with a height of 305 millimetres (12.0 in).The cone is placed on a hard non-absorbent surface.
