Structural weakness Typically‚ 1970’s structures may require additional strengthening as part of the refurbishment works. Analysis of whether any loadbearing components have been removed should always be conducted so as to determine if bracing is supported and any other evidence of structural issues. Moisture Structures typically built in the 1970’s would have fewer weather tightness concerns. Although‚ weathertightness can occasionally be an issue if any fitted cladding has deteriorated over time

Footings are structural members used to support columns and walls and to transmit and distribute their loads to the soil in such a way that the load bearing capacity of the soil is not exceeded‚ excessive settlement‚ differential settlement‚or rotation are prevented and adequate safety against overturning or sliding is maintained. A foundation is the lowest and supporting layer of a structure. Foundations are generally divided into two categories: shallow foundations and deep foundations.

Geodesic construction Geodesic airframe fuselage structure is exposed by battle damage Geodesic structural elements were used by Barnes Wallis for British Vickers between the wars and into World War II to form the whole of the fuselage‚ including its aerodynamic shape. In this type of construction multiple flat strip stringers are wound about the formers

a. Social problems result from the ways in which society operates: connect this to the 3 sociological theories on how society is viewed to “operate”. There are many different opinions on what causes poverty. For instance‚ according to the structural functionalist perspective‚ poverty is caused by institutional breakdown. Examples of this are economic institutions that don’t provide enough jobs or pay‚ education institutions that don’t provide the members of society with enough education and skills

Failure Analysis at DMRC On July 12th 2009 a metro bridge that was under construction collapsed due to negligence by an office in-charge of the Badarpur Metro line. The failure of the bridge killed 6 and injured another 15 when the pier cap sheared from the connecting pillars. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation took major heat from this incident because the roadway was a major milestone of providing a reliable and easy mean of transportation to the capitol of India. The DMRC is considered the most

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE ADVANTAGES : Use of high strength concrete and freedom from cracks‚ in prestressed members‚ contribute to improved durability under aggressive environmental conditions. The use of high strength concrete and high tensile steel in prestressed concrete members results in lighter and slender members than could be possible by using reinforced concrete and Mild steel as reinforcement. In prestressed concrete‚ steel is no longer required for

For years‚ social action theorists have sought out to understand how society operates. Unlike structuralists for example Marxists‚ action theorists are a micro level approach where they find the study of the individual and their interactions within society more important to our understanding. Action theorists are more voluntaristic‚ they believe that individuals possess agency where they have the ability to be free agents in themselves and in shaping society. Max Weber is well known within sociology
