  2. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    A surface plate is a solid, flat plate used as the main horizontal reference plane for precision inspection, marking out (layout), and tooling setup. [1]

  3. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    For steel structures the main harmonized standards are: Steel sections and plate – EN 10025-1; Hollow sections – EN 10219-1 and EN 10210-1; Pre-loadable bolts – EN 14399-1; Non-preloadable bolts – EN 15048-1; Fabricated steel – EN 1090 −1; The standard that covers CE Marking of structural steelwork is EN 1090-1. The standard has ...

  4. Load-bearing wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-bearing_wall

    The base plate or floor plate is the bottom attachment point for the wall studs. Using a top plate and a bottom plate, a wall can be constructed while it lies on its side, allowing for end-nailing of the studs between two plates, and then the finished wall can be tipped up vertically into place atop the wall sill; this not only improves ...

  5. Plate (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_(structure)

    A plate is a structural element which is characterized by a three-dimensional solid whose thickness is very small when compared with other dimensions. [1]The effects of the loads that are expected to be applied on it only generate stresses whose resultants are, in practical terms, exclusively normal to the element's thickness.

  6. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    The progression of thicknesses is clear in column 3 (U.S. standard for sheet and plate iron and steel 64ths inch (delta)). The thicknesses vary first by 1 ⁄ 32 inch in higher thicknesses and then step down to increments of 1 ⁄ 64 inch, then 1 ⁄ 128 inch, with the final increments at decimal fractions of 1 ⁄ 64 inch.

  7. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    Plates are defined as plane structural elements with a small thickness compared to the planar dimensions. [1] The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1. [ citation needed ] A plate theory takes advantage of this disparity in length scale to reduce the full three-dimensional solid mechanics problem to a two ...

  8. Wall stud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_stud

    sill - a stud sized member forming the base of a window assembly or the base of wall. mudsill - a stud sized member that forms the base of a wall and has been treated against insects and decay. top plate or double top plate - a stud sized member that forms the top of the wall. In cases where other members must bear or brace on the top of the ...

  9. 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
