1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The report will mainly focus on the differences between reinforced‚ prestressed and partially stressed concrete. These concrete reinforcing methods differ in the period they have been used. Reinforced concrete was developed by a nursery owner in Paris in 1867‚ Joseph Monier‚ applying it to practical use for the first time (Salmon & Wang‚ 2007). Prestressed concrete’s discovery dates back to the late 1800’s. Freyssinet was one of the first engineers who used

water is drawn up between close fitting surfaces. Compression force A crushing force. Condensation When a gas turns into a liquid. Conduction Method by which solids transfer heat. Convection Method by which liquids and gases transfer heat. Corrosion The deterioration of metals that occurs on contact with liquids. Ductility Ductility is the ability of a material to withstand distortion without fracture‚ such as metal that can be drawn into fine wire. Durability Durability is the material’s

Metals Iraj Malik 12/10/2012 MYP-5 The International School A metal is defined as a chemical element that is malleable and ductile‚ usually solid‚ has a characteristic luster‚ and is a good conductor of heat and electricity‚ e.g. copper or iron. Metals form oxides that are basic‚ they are good reducing agents and metals have lower electro negatives.There are many properties of metals. The chemical properties are that they can combine together with other metals to form am alloy. The mechanical

Trial 2: Percent Uncertainty Trial 2: Conclusion In this lab‚ galvanized steel is made my taking a plate of iron or steel and plating it either chemically or by electrolysis with zinc in order to form a protective layer over the steel‚ this is done so that the zinc oxidizes before the iron does‚ leaving the steel resistant to corrosion. By causing the zinc to form a bond in solution with chlorine ions after adding HCl solution‚ the steel is left with no layer of zinc on

plutonium and thorium are possible energy sources. To protect the environment from radioactivity‚ the fuel is cladded. For the cladding is usually zirconium alloys or stainless steels used because it should be able to let the neutrons pass and be corrosion resistant. This cladding has also the advantage to give strength to the rod. The reaction in the nuclear reactor is controlled with control rods. These control rods should be able to absorb the neutrons‚ so cadmium and boron are most of the time

Introduction Brasses are copper zinc alloys. It is a substitutional alloy. Brass has higher malleability than copper or zinc. In general‚ they have good strength and corrosion resistance‚ although their structure and properties are a function of zinc content. The relatively low melting point of brass (900 to 940°C‚ depending on composition) and its flow characteristics make it a relatively easy material to cast. By varying the proportions of copper and zinc‚ the properties of the brass can
