  2. Expansion joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_joint

    A joint replacing mortar with elastomeric sealant will absorb the compressive forces without damage. [4] Concrete decking (most typically in sidewalks) can suffer similar horizontal issues, which is usually relieved by adding a wooden spacer between the slabs. The wooden expansion joint compresses as the concrete expands.

  3. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings, consisting of a flat, horizontal surface made of cast concrete. Steel- reinforced slabs, typically between 100 and 500 mm thick, are most often used to construct floors and ceilings, while thinner mud slabs may be used for exterior paving ( see below ).

  4. Damp proofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_proofing

    Damp proofing in construction is a type of moisture control applied to building walls and floors to prevent moisture from passing into the interior spaces. Dampness problems are among the most frequent problems encountered in residences. DPC visible between concrete foundation and brickwork.

  5. Joint (building) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_(building)

    A building joint is a junction where building elements meet without applying a static load from one element to another. When one or more of these vertical or horizontal elements that meet are required by the local building code to have a fire-resistance rating, the resulting opening that makes up the joint must be firestopped in order to restore the required compartmentalisation.

  6. Highway engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_engineering

    The concrete slab is constructed according to a designed choice of plan dimensions for the slab panels, directly influencing the intensity of thermal stresses occurring within the pavement. In addition to the slab panels, temperature reinforcements must be designed to control cracking behavior in the slab. Joint spacing is determined by the ...

  7. Canal lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_lining

    Concrete used for canal lining is typically non-reinforced, as a way to reduce cost. A common method for constructing concrete lining is the use of slip forms, which are drawn down the length of the canal as the concrete is poured. [3] Hand laying of concrete or prefabricated sections are also used when only a short distance needs to be covered ...

  9. Dowel bar retrofit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowel_bar_retrofit

    The retrofit begins with cutting of six slots (three in each wheel path) across all transverse joints or cracks. The slots are cut with ganged diamond saws that make six cuts in each wheel path. The concrete between the saw cuts is then removed with lightweight jackhammers (heavy-weight jackhammers tend to damage the concrete around the cuts).
