  4. Anchorage in reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorage_in_Reinforced...

    Because the actual bond stress varies along the length of a bar anchored in a zone of tension, most international codes of specifications [2] [3] [4] use the concept of development length rather than bond stress. The same concept applies to lap splice length mentioned in the codes where splices (overlapping) provided between two adjacent bars ...

  5. Split-Hopkinson pressure bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-Hopkinson_pressure_bar

    Tension testing in a Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) is more complex due to a variation of loading methods and specimen attachment to the incident and transmission bar. [7] The first tension bar was designed and tested by Harding et al. in 1960; the design involved using a hollow weight bar that was connected to a yoke and threaded specimen ...

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration sets regulations for all equipment. [3] Contractors are forced to uphold usually strict rules to ensure safety of workers. All machinery is required to be developed by a certified engineer, contractors must follow manufacturer procedures, all users be professionally trained before operating equipment, and equipment must be inspected regularl

  7. Swimming pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_pool

    A swimming pool, swimming bath, wading pool, paddling pool, or simply pool, is a structure designed to hold water to enable swimming and associated activities. Pools can be built into the ground (in-ground pools) or built above ground (as a freestanding construction or as part of a building or other larger structure), and may be found as a ...

  8. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    Tension is the pulling or stretching force transmitted axially along an object such as a string, rope, chain, rod, truss member, or other object, so as to stretch or pull apart the object. In terms of force, it is the opposite of compression. Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of an object.

  9. Permissible stress design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissible_stress_design

    Permissible stress design is a design philosophy used by mechanical engineers and civil engineers. [1] [2]The civil designer ensures that the stresses developed in a structure due to service loads do not exceed the elastic limit.
