water distribution method based on the type of water conduits can be divided into two groups, namely, open and closed systems, while on the basis of the energy of the water flow, the two groups are gravity flow and pressurized flow. open channel type conveyance and distribution is achieved by gravity and includes channels made by embankment construction, excavation, or construction of prefabric...

Abstract Because of the serious impact on seismic performance, joint connection form becomes a critical problem in prefabricated building. Built dry connection, this paper proposes detachable and recyclable bolt-steel plate design for fabricated structure. Compared to cast-in-situ method, biggest advantage proposed scheme lies convenient construction. The construction process shows that devices...

Digital technologies are supposed to be used obtain higher efficiency and quality in off-site construction. This research is an on-going thesis project aims identify the challenges expectations of digital technologies’ implementation construction, also develop a practical application for promoting one promising technologies. Mixed methods conducted Chinese construction projects, including set s...

Each time the foot contacts the ground during running there is a rapid deceleration that results in a shock wave that is transmitted from the foot to the head. The fatigue of the musculoskeletal system during running may decrease the ability of the body to absorb those shock waves and increase the risk of injury. Insoles are commonly prescribed to prevent injuries, and both custom-made and pref...

By constructing realities, we try to make the stream of our experiences manageable. Reality construction thus takes place in a context of continuous problem orientation. What basically drives reality construction is not some all-compassing plan, but an unremitting flow of problem orientation. The results are not neatly ordered patterns of separable elements, but large nets of constructs, with c...

Every material arriving at the construction site comes protected in some type of packaging, fundamentally cardboard, plastic or wood, and presently the great majority of these packagings finish in a container mixed with the rest of waste of the construction work. The increasing tendency to use prefabricated materials increases the volume of packaging necessary in product transport; in addition,...

The UK construction sector is facing multiple challenges associated with low productivity, unreliable project delivery, poor performance, skilled labour shortages, and resource inefficiency. To address these the Government industry have been promoting modular construction; a method that can improve efficiency productivity in via prefabrication of volumetric elements or structural components bui...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of two different eugenol-based root canal sealers on the retention of prefabricated metal posts luted with adhesive resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty prefabricated ParaPosts randomly divided among three groups of 10 each were luted into extracted single-rooted teeth with adhesive resin cement. Two of the groups had been obturated with Gutta-P...
