    For example, they can contribute up to 40% by weight to intravenous medical bags and up to 80% by weight in medical tubing. [49] Vinyl products are pervasive—including toys, [ 50 ] car interiors, shower curtains, and flooring—and initially release chemical gases into the air.

  3. Groin vault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groin_vault

    A groin vault or groined vault (also sometimes known as a double barrel vault or cross vault) is produced by the intersection at right angles of two barrel vaults. [ 1 ] The word "groin" refers to the edge between the intersecting vaults. Sometimes the arches of groin vaults are pointed instead of round. In comparison with a barrel vault, a ...

  4. Moment distribution method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_distribution_method

    The moment distribution method is a structural analysis method for statically indeterminate beams and frames developed by Hardy Cross. It was published in 1930 in an ASCE journal. [1] The method only accounts for flexural effects and ignores axial and shear effects. From the 1930s until computers began to be widely used in the design and ...

  5. Timber roof truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_roof_truss

    This is an example of a "double roof" with principal rafters and common rafters. A timber roof trussis a structural framework of timbers designed to bridge the space above a room and to provide support for a roof. Trussesusually occur at regular intervals, linked by longitudinal timbers such as purlins. The space between each truss is known as ...

  6. Space-filling model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_model

    A space-filling model of n-octane, the straight chain (normal) hydrocarbon composed of 8 carbons and 18 hydrogens, formulae: CH 3 CH 2 (CH 2) 4 CH 2 CH 3 or C 8 H 18.Note, the representative shown is of a single conformational "pose" of a population of molecules, which, because of low Gibbs energy barriers to rotation about its carbon-carbon bonds (giving the carbon "chain" great flexibility ...

  7. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    A simple shape (e.g. a square, circle, or hexagon) is cut directly from the sheet. A complex shape can be cut out by making many square or rounded cuts around the perimeter. A punch is less flexible than a laser for cutting compound shapes, but faster for repetitive shapes (for example, the grille of an air-conditioning unit).

  8. Shop drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shop_drawing

    A shop drawing is a drawing or set of drawings produced by the contractor, supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, consultants, or fabricator. [1] Shop drawings are typically required for prefabricated components. Examples of these include: elevators, structural steel, trusses, pre-cast concrete, windows, appliances, cabinets, air handling units ...

  9. Double tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tee

    Diagram of double tee beam. A double tee or double-T beam is a load-bearing structure that resembles two T-beams connected to each other side by side. The strong bond of the flange (horizontal section) and the two webs (vertical members, also known as stems) creates a structure that is capable of withstanding high loads while having a long span.
