  2. Movable scaffolding system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movable_scaffolding_system

    A movable scaffolding system (MSS) is a special-purpose self-launching form used in bridge construction, specifically prestressed concrete bridges with segments or spans that are cast in place. The movable scaffolding system is used to support a form while the concrete is cured; once the segment is complete, the scaffold and forms are moved to ...

  3. Capital program and project management software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_program_and...

    Also, construction management software is more focused on single projects, and execution of construction administration processes, vs. capital program planning, design, and construction. The last 10 years have seen a shift in how project information is managed from the general contractor to the owner. [2]

  4. Modular building - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_building

    It is vital that there is enough allowance in the design to allow the assembly to take up any "slack" or misalignment of components. The use of advanced CAD systems, 3D printing and manufacturing control systems are important for modular construction to be successful. This is quite unlike on-site construction where the tradesman can often make ...

  6. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

    The parts of triple beam balance are identified as the following. [3]Weighing pan - The area in which an object is placed in order to be weighed.; Base - The base rests underneath the weighing pan and can usually be customized to fit on a workbench or set up with tripod legs.

  7. Caisson (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(engineering)

    H-beam sections (typical column sections, due to resistance to bending in all axis) may be driven at angles "raked" to rock or other firmer soils; the H-beams are left extended above the base. A reinforced concrete plug may be placed under the water, a process known as tremie concrete placement. When the caisson is dewatered, this plug acts as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEMtools

    FEMtools is designed to handle all sizes of finite element and test models for a wide range of industrial applications. Industrial applications can be found in the fields for structural dynamics troubleshooting, NVH, finite element model verification, validation and updating (V&V), uncertainty quantification and propagation, mesh coarsening or refinement, structural health monitoring (SHM ...

  9. Steelyard balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelyard_balance

    The steelyard comprises a balance beam which is suspended from a lever/pivot or fulcrum which is very close to one end of the beam. The two parts of the beam which flank the pivot are the arms. The arm from which the object to be weighed (the load) is hung is short and is located close to the pivot point.
