?? Cavity walls incorporating metal ties have been in use since the 19th century. They are common in dwellings built in the early part of the 20th century and large numbers of such houses were built during the building boom of the 1930s. Since 1950 the cavity wall has become the standard form of construction for housing and buildings of a similar scale.

How can we ensure that the design of a concrete parking ramp slab not only meets safety standards but also efficiently supports the required loads for residential use?

You may be familiar with the advantages of precast concrete, but how do they translate into benefits for a new parking garage? Whether you’re looking for a mixed-use space or a stand-alone structure, precast concrete can help you become more efficient, safe, and cost-effective.

This past week, we looked at some of the historic types of window openings and began comparing the wrought iron flat bar used at this particular historic building and the contemporary types of elements like shelf angles and structural steels. Together, these elements improve the structural capacities of walls and building assemblies in construction. Because of the differences in tensile strength versus compressive strength and the integral nature of combining those elements to achieve a synergy in structural resistance, the advent of structural steel significantly changed building construction principles and techniques. https://lnkd.in/eYcHHJAH

Hollow core slabs are precast concrete elements used in construction for flooring and roofing. They are lightweight and have hollow channels running through the slab, which reduces the overall weight while maintaining structural strength. These slabs are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings due to their cost-effectiveness and quick installation. Hollow core slabs offer several benefits in the construction industry, including their lightweight nature, which makes them easier to handle and transport. They also provide excellent fire resistance and sound insulation, making them ideal for use in residential and commercial buildings. Additionally, hollow core slabs are cost-effective and can be quickly installed, helping to reduce construction time and labor costs. Their versatility and durability make them a popular choice for a wide range of construction projects. #Civilengineering #HollowCoreSlabs #PrecastConcrete #ConstructionMaterials #BuildingMaterials #StructuralEngineering #ConcreteSlabs #SustainableBuilding

Do you already know our new reference of the month? Innovative construction projects also bring great challenges with them. For example, how do you ensure optimum structure- and footfall sound insulation in a 65 metre high timber hybrid building? ?? The challenge: wooden ceilings have a lower mass than concrete ceilings and are susceptible to vibrations - which leads to poorer sound values. An innovative solution was needed to ensure living comfort on the 25 cm thick ceilings. ?? The solution: the development of a new installation method and our revolutionary Prefab Floor 2K special binder. Using a special hose system, the material was pumped up precisely and applied in just one application step. This process made it possible to insulate 640 m2 per floor in just two days - a real time-saver! ??♂?This new technology not only reduces the construction time, but also prevents moisture-related damage to the wooden structure - ideal for urban timber construction.

| Blast from the Past | - Sean O’Casey Pedestrian Bridge Throwback Following an open international competition, the joint submission by O’Connor Sutton Cronin and Brian O’Halloran & Associates Architects was nominated as the winning entry. The competition brief required an openable bridge to create a clear navigable channel. The structural design evolved on the basic principle of a “balanced cantilever” to function both in the in-use condition and remain stable in the bridge open or out-of-use condition. The two central opening sections are approximately 44m in overall length and each rotates on plan about a central pier to allow a free 33m open width. Two profiled cantilever abutments complete the transition with the quayside. The balanced cantilever achieves its support via a cradle, comprised of four tapered steel sections, profiled to allow the flow of maximum load transfer. The bridge deck is directly supported on continuous longitudinal circular sections, which are supported at their extreme end via tension rods saddled over the cradle tips and tensioned down to the support pivot. When closed, each bridge leaf is locked together and to the cantilever abutments via hydraulic locking pins. The out-of-balance structural load conditions are resisted by these locking pins suitably arranged to restrain vertical, lateral, and torsional deck forces whilst allowing and accommodating bridge rotation at its ends.
