  2. Gusset plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset_plate

    The gusset plate is usually painted to match nearby steel and fixtures and to give it an extra layer of protection. [2] Occasionally gusset plates are made from copper or aluminum, but only with small structures that do not require much support. The copper and aluminum gusset plates also provide a more attractive finish for exposed structures. [2]

  3. Steel plate shear wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_plate_shear_wall

    An SPW frame can be idealized as a vertical cantilever plate girder, in which the steel plates act as the web, the columns act as the flanges and the cross beams represent the transverse stiffeners. The theory that governs plate design should not be used in the design of SPW structures since the relatively high bending strength and stiffness of ...

  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. Weld access hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weld_access_hole

    Side view of a beam with two weld access holes cut into the web. Also the flanges have been beveled in preparation for welding. The weld access hole or rat hole is a structural engineering technique in which a part of the web of an I-beam or T-beam is cut out at the end or ends of the beam.

  6. Types of press tools - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_press_tools

    Die Back Plate:This plate prevents the hardened Die inserts penetrating into bottom plate. Guide Pillar & Guide Bush : Used for alignment between top and bottom halves of the press tools. Bottom plate:It is used to hold bottom half of the press tool with press slide. Stripper plate: it is used to strip off the component from punches.

  7. Process duct work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Duct_Work

    The stiffeners are usually considered pinned end. Power plant ductwork can be 5/16" thick duct plate, with "fixed end" W stiffeners at roughly 2'-5" spacing. Because rectangular duct plate bends, stiffeners are required at reasonably close spacing. Duct plate 3/16", or thinner, may dishpan, or make noise, and should be avoided.

  8. Shear wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_wall

    A typical timber shear wall consists of braced panels in the wall line, constructed using structural plywood sheathing, specific nailing at the edges, and supporting framing. A shear wall is an element of a structurally engineered system that is designed to resist in- plane lateral forces, typically wind and seismic loads.

  9. Drywall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drywall

    Various sized cuts of 1 ⁄ 2 in (13 mm) drywall with tools for maintenance and installation . Drywall (also called plasterboard, dry lining, [1] wallboard, sheet rock, gib board, gypsum board, buster board, turtles board, slap board, custard board, gypsum panel and gyprock) is a panel made of calcium sulfate dihydrate (), with or without additives, typically extruded between thick sheets of ...
