2. Hold down (structural engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold_down_(structural...

   A hold-down may also refer to clamping device used to anchor a pipe to a structural steel element or concrete floor or allow movement of the pipe in an axial direction. [1] At the bottom, the hold down is connected to the concrete foundation or structural slab by an embedded or epoxied anchor bolt. At the top, the hold down is connected to a ...

   Once the casing has been removed, the nails can be extracted from the inner frame with any of the usual nail pullers; Clout nail – a roofing nail; Coil nail – nails designed for use in a pneumatic nail gun assembled in coils; Common nail – smooth shank, wire nail with a heavy, flat head. The typical nail for framing

   No panel rotation is being considered. Panel Volume: V = w x h x d = 6.0 m x 3.0 m x 0.15 m = 2.7 m 3; Weight: W = V x concrete specific gravity = 2.7 m 3 x 24 kN/m 3 = 64.8 kN; Calculated casting bed suction Suction area: A = w x h = 6.0 m x 3.0 m = 18 m 2; Assuming 1.0 kN/m 2 is applied for oiled steel formwork

5. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction)

   Wall framing in house construction includes the vertical and horizontal members of exterior walls and interior partitions, both of bearing walls and non-bearing walls. . These stick members, referred to as studs, wall plates and lintels (sometimes called headers), serve as a nailing base for all covering material and support the upper floor platforms, which provide the lateral strength along a

   John Calvin Jureit (July 24, 1918 – September 9, 2005) was an American civil engineer and the inventor of the Gang Nail connector plate, used in building construction specifically for the joining of timber truss joints of roof, floor trusses and prefabricated wall panels. This invention has been widely credited for the boom in affordable ...

7. Girt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girt

   In architecture or structural engineering, a girt, also known as a sheeting rail, is a horizontal structural member in a framed wall. Girts provide lateral support to the wall panel, primarily to resist wind loads. [citation needed] A comparable element in roof construction is a purlin.

   The Detroit Lions have a seemingly endless bucket of trick plays to pick from. Earlier this season, they ran a hook-and-ladder play to Penei Sewell, their fantastic 335-pound left tackle.

9. Shear wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_wall

   A typical timber shear wall consists of braced panels in the wall line, constructed using structural plywood sheathing, specific nailing at the edges, and supporting framing. A shear wall is an element of a structurally engineered system that is designed to resist in- plane lateral forces, typically wind and seismic loads.
