2. Big Dig ceiling collapse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig_ceiling_collapse

   The Big Dig ceiling collapse occurred on July 10, 2006, when a concrete ceiling panel and debris weighing 26 short tons (52,000 lb; 24,000 kg) and measuring 20 by 40 feet (6.1 by 12.2 m) fell in Boston's Fort Point Channel Tunnel (which connects to the Ted Williams Tunnel). [1] The panel fell on a car traveling on the two-lane ramp connecting ...

3. Anchor bolt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_bolt

   Anchor bolt. Anchor bolts are used to connect structural and non-structural elements to concrete. [2] The connection can be made by a variety of different components: anchor bolts (also named fasteners), steel plates, or stiffeners. Anchor bolts transfer different types of load: tension forces and shear forces.

4. Concrete cone failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_cone_failure

   The tension failure loads predicted by the CCD method fits experimental results over a wide range of embedment depth (e.g. 100 – 600 mm). [2] Anchor load bearing capacity provided by ACI 349 does not consider size effect, thus an underestimated value for the load-carrying capacity is obtained for large embedment depths.

5. Bolt (fastener) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_(fastener)

   Bolt (fastener) A bolt is an externally helical threaded fastener capable of being tightened or released by a twisting force (torque) to a matching nut. The bolt has an external male thread requiring a matching nut with a pre-formed female thread. [1]

6. Precast concrete lifting anchor system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete_lifting...

   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 ...

7. Prestressed concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete

   Pre-tensioned concrete is a variant of prestressed concrete where the tendons are tensioned prior to the concrete being cast. [1]: 25 The concrete bonds to the tendons as it cures, following which the end-anchoring of the tendons is released, and the tendon tension forces are transferred to the concrete as compression by static friction.
