There has been a rapid increase in demand of Bambusa vulgaris and Dendrocalamus in the housing and construction industry‚ thereby tremendously increasing the economic importance of Bamboo and its resources. Extensive studies have shown that in Sri Lanka Bamboo is a very suitable material for scaffolding during construction given its durability and strength. Bamboo is an extremely stable green reinforcement building appliance‚ it is easily accessible and readily workable (SAITM – RSEA 2013). 4.2

In this article the influence of the important resistance spot welding process parameters on the shear-tensile strength of the welded joints of Inconel alloy 625 was investigated. Experimental study using full factorial design of the welding current‚ welding time‚ and electrode force parameters was conducted. In order to identify the influence of each parameter and their interaction a general linear model and a second order model using response surface method was developed. Nonlinear correlation

A machine stretches a sample of a desired material and then graphs their results on a stress/strain diagram A normal steel stress/strain diagram The red arrow indicates the ultimate tensile strength the maximum force this material could withstand without failure. To be safe engineers recommend the stress value at the elastic limit as the maximum allowable stress. Tensile

COMPARISON BETWEEN BAILEYS BRIDGE TRUSS AND SUSPENSION BRIDGES Name Institution Comparison between Baileys Bridge Truss and Suspension Bridges The Bailey bridge trusses are bridges that are portable and comprise of pre-fabricated trusses (Katohi‚ 2013). They were designed to assist the military to cross wide cliffs and gaps of up to 200 feet (Caney‚ 2006; McGloin‚ 2008). In the contemporary world‚ longer Bailey bridges have been constructed‚ and are able to function effectively to allow smooth transportation

Experimental Research of Wear On Filled PTFE Alloy Bearings ABSTRACT: Because of the lower coefficient of friction and good strength to weight ratio features polymer based composites are frequently used. In this work‚ experimental investigations were conducted on wear behavior of PTFE composite radial bearings filled with 15% glass fiber (GF15)‚ 40 % bronze (B40) and 35% carbon (C35) where bearing loads‚ sliding distances and wear were taken into account. For the fact that pivot pins have their

Deadweight testers are used as a for accurate measurement to calibrate pressure gauges‚ transmitters‚ transducers‚ recorders and controllers. Deadweight testers are very accurate‚ they produce pressure by applying force using calibrated stainless steel or brass weights over a predetermined area. There are numerous models available to meet specific applications. A typical deadweight tester consists self-contained pump for the generation of pressure‚ they also include a piston‚ cylinder‚ table‚ weights

Thus‚ their jobs take away a vivacity of spirit making them empty souls trucking on with the day to day.

At first glance‚ the adjective ruptured doesn’t appear to fit with describing the individual‚ however‚ picking apart the idea that the night watchman is one watching time

than half of the bridges that were made‚ were made out of stone. But since the United States had so much wood‚ they made a lot of wooden bridges in those times and a vast majority of them were truss bridges. As the years passed on‚ the real iron and steel organizations are gone‚ truss bridges stay as their legacy. One of the most famous truss bridges is the Tokyo Gate Bridge in Japan. There is a variety of truss bridges‚ like the Pegram truss‚ Howe truss‚ and the Long truss. The Pegram truss has wires

The Aluminum Industry in 19941 and Aluminum Smelting in South Africa: Alusaf’s Hillside Project2 1) Is primary aluminum production an attractive industry? Why or why not? Within the framework of the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) model3‚ the primary aluminum production industry (“the industry”) in 1994 can be described as perfectly competitive. The industry is characterized by a large number of competing firms – the largest of which has only 4.1% of total industry capacity; homogeneous
