Concrete vs. Steel Structures: In the past‚ the world of construction of buildings was based on wood‚ adobe‚ thatch and cave dwellings as construction materials or units. Modern engineering has developed to use the steel‚ concrete as basic elements of construction. Nowadays‚ there is a worldwide debate about which material of those two does reign supreme in the world of development. Most importantly‚ concrete and steel have different mechanical properties which cause a different behavior under

Using chemistry for electronics and vice versa The microelectronics industry is continually striving to miniaturize conventional silicon-based electronic devices to provide higher performance technology that can be housed in smaller packaging. Progress resulting from this miniaturization is evident from the rapid advances in consumer electronics‚ such as cell phones and laptop computers‚ that have been observed in recent years. Now‚ silicon-based molecular electronics -- a complementary technology

Much has been written on organizational structure and change management. Research commonly breaks down organizations into stages of growth or phases in a life cycle using varying factors and benchmarks. Depending on the article‚ the organization can be in any number of stages. However‚ there are definite commonalities that can be concluded amongst the differing research. For the purposes of our project‚ we focused on three articles that helped determine where STSM is and how our recommended changes

Investigate the Effect of Acid Rain on Building Materials Question: What is the effect of 6M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on the corrosion rate of the 3 grams of steel as the amount (number of sprays) of sulfuric acid increases? Variables: Independent variable: the number of sprays of 6M sulfuric acid (0‚ 5‚ 10‚ 15‚ 20‚ 25 times) to observe its effect on the corrosion rate. Each spray will contain about 10mL. Dependent variable: The corrosion rate. It will be calculated by measuring the mass of steel

associated shoring represent a significant proportion of the costs associated with the construction of multi-level concrete structures. To minimize these costs‚ a limited number of formwork and shoring sets are recycled up the structure as construction progresses‚ eliminating the need for a new set of formwork and shoring with each new slab. When a slab is post-tensioned using draped tendons‚ slab lift occurs as a portion of the slab self-weight is balanced. The formwork and shores supporting that
