  2. Utility pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_pole

    A pair of shoes can be seen hanging from the wires (center-left, far right) A utility pole is a column or post, usually made out of wood or aluminum alloy, [ 1 ] used to support overhead power lines and various other public utilities, such as electrical cable, fiber optic cable, and related equipment such as transformers and street lights.

  3. Anchor bolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_bolt

    Column-to-foundation connection [1] 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. Post (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_(structural)

    Post (structural) A post is a main vertical or leaning support in a structure similar to a column or pillar, the term post generally refers to a timber but may be metal or stone. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] A stud in wooden or metal building construction is similar but lighter duty than a post and a strut may be similar to a stud or act as a brace.

  5. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete usually made with a rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior substrate for walls, floors, and roofs. The forms are interlocking modular units that are dry-stacked (without mortar) and filled with ...

  6. Corbel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corbel

    In architecture, a corbel is a structural piece of stone, wood or metal jutting from a wall to carry a superincumbent weight, [ 1 ] a type of bracket. [ 2 ] A corbel is a solid piece of material in the wall, whereas a console is a piece applied to the structure. A piece of timber projecting in the same way was called a "tassel" or a "bragger ...

  7. Prestressed concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete

    Prestressed beam with load. Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially "prestressed" (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service. [1][2]: 3–5 [3] It was patented by Eugène Freyssinet in 1928. [4]

  8. Structural support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_support

    Structural support. A structural support is a part of a building or structure that provides the necessary stiffness and strength in order to resist the internal forces (vertical forces of gravity and lateral forces due to wind and earthquakes) and guide them safely to the ground. External loads (actions of other bodies) that act on buildings ...

  9. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Properties of concrete. Concrete has relatively high compressive strength (resistance to breaking when squeezed), but significantly lower tensile strength (resistance to breaking when pulled apart). The compressive strength is typically controlled with the ratio of water to cement when forming the concrete, and tensile strength is increased by ...
