The size of steel beams chosen in residential and commercial construction projects is critical to the integrity of the structure they are being used to build. The most common type of steel beam used in construction is the I-beam, which is also known as a
Consider calculating the weight of a steel I-beam before overloading a structure. Steel I-beam's are too large and heavy for a conventional scale, but their weight can be determined mathematically with a few measurements. The weight of a steel beam depends on its volume and the weight dens...
12min read Mass timber is a composite building material made from smaller pieces of wood that are glued, nailed, or connected via dowels. Its strength is competitive with traditional building materials like concrete or steel, and its ability to sequester carbon makes it a far more sustainable op...
TEGD GD 9 How to design a bolted steel flitch beamTRADA Technology
the blasters detonate explosives on the north side of the building first, in the same way you would chop into a tree from the north side if you wanted it to fall in that direction. Blasters may also secure steel cables to support columns in the building, so that they are pulled a certa...
Bulk samples with sizes of 10 mm × 12 mm × 2 mm were exposed to 0.1 M KCl in D2O (Sigma-Aldrich) for 3 h. The samples were taken out from the electrolyte and placed into the Plasma FIB under a high vacuum of 10−6 Torr within less than 5 min. A protective...
You'll find them in everything from CD players to dental drills to high-speed metal cutting machines to measuring systems. Tattoo removal, hair replacement, eye surgery — they all use lasers. But what is a laser? What makes a laser beam different from the beam of a flashlight?
Michelson flashed lights between two mountain tops with carefully measured distances to get a more precise estimate. And in his third attempt just before his death in 1931, according to the Smithsonian'sAir and Spacemagazine, he built a mile-long depressurized tube of corrugated steel pipe. The...
Determine the size of a replacement ball bearing before heading to the store or placing an order to avoid wasting money and time. Typically, cylindrical-shaped ball bearings contain a set of balls that allow the outer casing to spin freely. Ball bearings come in many sizes for an array of ...
Artists and metal workers use handheld cutters to create unique works of art that would never be possible with conventional metal-working tools. A single plasma torch gives artists the ability to bevel cuts, bore precise holes, and cut medium thickness stainless steel in just about any way they...
