  2. Mechanically stabilized earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_stabilized_earth

    In addition to the flexibility of MSE walls in design and construction, seismic testing conducted on a large scale shaking table laboratory at the Japan National Institute of Agricultural Engineering (Tsukuba City), showed that modular block reinforced walls, [3] and even more so geocell retention walls, [4] retain sufficient flexibility to ...

  3. Hudson's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson's_equation

    Hudson's equation, also known as Hudson formula, is an equation used by coastal engineers to calculate the minimum size of riprap (armourstone) required to provide satisfactory stability characteristics for rubble structures such as breakwaters under attack from storm wave conditions.

  4. Structural drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_drawing

    They outline the size and types of materials to be used, as well as the general demands for connections. They do not address architectural details like surface finishes, partition walls, or mechanical systems. The structural drawings communicate the design of the building's structure to the building authority for review. Structural drawings are ...

  5. Retaining wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retaining_wall

    The walls must resist the lateral pressures generated by loose soils or, in some cases, water pressures. [3] Every retaining wall supports a "wedge" of soil. The wedge is defined as the soil which extends beyond the failure plane of the soil type present at the wall site, and can be calculated once the soil friction angle is known. As the ...

    Their design ensures that they form an interlocking but porous and slightly flexible wall. The individual units are often numbered so that their movements can be tracked. This helps engineers gauge whether they need to add more dolosse to the pile.

  7. Ecology block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecology_block

    Ecology block with rebar loop on top for use with heavy equipment. An ecology block, also known as an eco-block or ecoblock, is a type of recycled concrete block used to make retaining walls. Ecology blocks are manufactured using concrete left over from other construction processes.

  8. Gypsum block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsum_block

    A gypsum block is made of gypsum plaster and water. The manufacturing process [1] is automated at production plants where raw gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) is ground and dried, then heated to remove three-quarters of the bound water and thus transformed into calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO 4 ·½H 2 O), also known as gypsum plaster, stucco, calcined gypsum or plaster of Paris.

  9. Massive precut stone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_precut_stone

    Following the construction of 15 Clerkenwell Close, the quarry finishes on the blocks was opposed by a local councilmember due to claims about heritage style and aesthetics. [16] Ironically the use of load-bearing rusticated stone is an ancient style [ 21 ] and the use of limestone was specifically appropriate to the site, which was the site of ...
