The rigging arrangements can influence the applied anchor load, where statically indeterminate systems are not necessarily a design consideration, but can be used in practice. The determination of the loads through the rigging system must be a consideration whilst calculating the load resistant model, refer to the examples shown in Figure 3.
A connection between structural elements can be represented by steel columns attached to a reinforced concrete foundation. [4] A common case of a non-structural element attached to a structural one is the connection between a facade system and a reinforced concrete wall. [5]
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.
The gusset plate is welded to a beam, and then two or three columns, beams, or truss chord are connected to the other side of the gusset plate through bolts or rivets or welds. [3] A uniform force bracing connection connects a beam, column, and one other member. The gusset plate is bolted to the column and welded to the beam.
Underslung (lower-beam) launching gantry used for Skyline guideway construction (2015). A launching gantry (also called bridge building crane, and bridge-building machine) is a special-purpose mobile gantry crane used in bridge construction, specifically segmental bridges that use precast box girder bridge segments or precast girders in highway and high-speed rail bridge construction projects.
Although the first patent for lift slab construction was given to Slick in 1955, the method of construction is commonly referred to as the "Youtz-Slick Method". [1] His patent called for a method that would allow for fabrication to be completed at the ground level, eliminate a large portion of the formwork , create uniform floors of concrete ...
Pipe expansion joints are necessary in systems that convey high temperature substances such as steam or exhaust gases, or to absorb movement and vibration. A typical joint is a bellows of metal (most commonly stainless steel ), plastic (such as PTFE ), fabric (such as glass fibre) or an elastomer such as rubber .
A concrete frame, also known as a concrete skeleton, is a structure composed of interconnected beams, columns, and slabs that is used to support larger structures. [1] [2] Due to the low cost of producing them, concrete frames are often used when building damns, bridges, and buildings.
