In about 1950 a hyperbolic reinforced concrete cooling tower was built with a capacity of 2.5 million gallons per hour (3.15 m 3 /s), with cooling range of 15 °F (8.3 °C). [12] However, there were complaints that operation of the cooling tower let to problems with ice in cold weather as water vapour from the tower froze as fine particles.
The anchor selection, together with additional reinforcement, and rigging arrangements is influenced by: - The dead weight of the element - The number of anchors in the element and the configuration of the anchor - Capacity of the anchor at the specific concrete compressive strengths at time of lift - The dynamic loads applied during lifting ...
Interest in concrete railway sleepers increased after World War II following advances in the design, quality and production of pre-stressed concrete. Chaired bullhead concrete sleepers have been around since at least the 1940s; the Great Western using a two-holed chair, thus saving both scarce wartime timber and steel fixing bolts. [4]
A New York judge has thwarted Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss sexual assault allegations leveled against him and fellow rapper and hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.. Jay-Z, whose legal name is ...
The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag. The moment reminds his father of Patrick’s graduation from college, and he takes a picture of his son with his cell phone.
L.A. had the option to attempt a free kick after the fair catch. It was the rare instance in which it made sense because no time remained on the clock. It's also rare that a fair catch on a punt ...
The test hammer hits the concrete at a defined energy. Its rebound is dependent on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the test equipment. By reference to a conversion chart, the rebound value can be used to determine the concrete's compressive strength. When conducting the test, the hammer should be held at right angles to the ...
