Concrete

two categories rough and finish carpentry. Rough carpenters often work outdoors where they begin projects using unfinished wood and other building materials. They frame houses, build scaffolding, and make forms to be filled with concrete. Forms are used to mold concrete for bridges, highways, and house foundations.

Terrazzo, composites, and concrete are all materials that can be used in the interior of a space. In this paper, I am going to explain the similarities and differences between concrete and terrazzo, what each material is composed of, how these materials are used, and the different subcategories of each material. I’m also going to discuss how each material can be altered, in terms of the look and feel of it. Composite flooring is composed of aggregate and a binder, also known as the matrix. The…

The Hōryū-ji Temple remain located in Nara prefecture Japan, is the oldest existing timber structure; dated from 607 AD.

structure. The internal forces transfer to the arches’ intersections and then to the concrete abutments that are placed beneath the Earth’s surface (2). More cables are included underground and connected to each arch to provide added security for the structure’s stability. Using steel cables coupled with concrete arches and abutments create efficient equilibrium by using steel, which works well in tension, and concrete, which works well in…

cost of the materials employed for construction of erosion-control structures. The most commonly employed materials for coastal protection structures used in populated coastlines (e.g., seawalls, revetments, groins, and detached breakwaters) are concrete (new or recycled), limestone, granite, other stones, and steel. In the State of Louisiana, the material used for dike construction and as riprap is mostly limestone extracted from mines located in Arkansas and transported to the state at the…

The Roman Empire expanded their technology and facilities out into their colonies –this helped in showing the Empire’s might. The Romanisation of the Empire’s colonies manipulated the view the local people had of them; as such the grand and lavish Roman architecture present throughout the Roman Empire emphasized their power and strength. By giving the local people the same amenities available in Rome, the Emperor was guaranteed their support and utter devotion. The Hadrianic Baths, for example,…

At a young age, I was inspired by roller coasters, so much in fact that I was often get scolded for doodling them in my notebooks during class time.

My whole family was “playing hooky” that day and she had such excitement in her…
