Estimate how much of what type of concrete will be needed. This includes slabs, forms, block fill, shotcrete applications or piers that need to be filled. Once you've figured out the area and calculated the cubic yardage, determine what type of concrete is needed and get a quote from your...
If your cistern is aboveground and higher than your faucets, you can use the weight of the water as pressure to get it into your home. Belowground cisterns require a pump to get the water to you, much like a well. If you want a cistern, you need to live in an area that gets enou...
In fact, a train is about the most efficient way to move heavy goods. The downside of using steel wheels is that they don't have much traction. In the next section, we'll discuss the interesting solution to this problem. Traction Traction when going around turns is not an issue ...
The air-void system of concrete is of paramount importance to ensure freeze–thaw durability. Pumping induces detrimental changes in the air-void system of concrete by dissolving the air bubbles in the surrounding water when pressure increases due to the pump action. This research work investigates...
Taking a step back, it's now easy to see where improvements to this process can be made. If the whole building is taken into consideration—slab, walls, roof, windows, doors—the energy efficiency of a new property can be improved immeasurably. There is therefore much to consider when desi...
Pumping is an efficient procedure to place concrete inside formworks. Practical guidelines have been developed to facilitate this process for over half a century, and in the last decades, a more scientific approach has been applied to study the flow behavior of concrete in pipes. With the ...

Thanks for the nice note, Joe; we've been working hard on wet basement and wet crawl space information, particularly since recent hurricanes and tropical storms have led to so much flooding. The question you raise about the effects of a sump pump on soils, water flows, and by implication ...
