Is Paving Construction or Pavement Construction better?
It depends on what you are talking about . In different contexts both phrases could be correct. If you are talking about building pavements then "pavement construction" is better. If you are talking about making paving materials for paths etc then 'paving construction' could be better.
Did Chopin died before he could take advantage of advances in piano construction developed by Pleyel and Company.?
TRUE
Where could one purchase a construction book or manual?
One could purchase a construction book or manual from Compass International, Amazon and Blackwell's stores. A construction book or manual should contain information, such as, construction practices, costs of materials, architectural rates, labor rates as well as location factors.
Where is the best place to look for used construction equipment?
One could check local construction equipment stores for used materials. However, there are some online store that will help, too. To name a few, one could try RB Auction and Construction Sales.

How heavy is a viking longboat?
A typical Viking longboat could weigh around 8-10 tons, depending on its size and construction materials.
How can the choice of construction and packaging materials be made to reduce enviromental impact?
The correct and continued research on this field could help on choosing the most appropriate materials to protect our environment. To reduce environmental impact of packing materials, design packages that use less material and use packing materials that are reusable or recyclable.
When the modern safety elevator was created so that both people and materials could be lifted high up during the construction of taller buildings is an example of?
The evolution of building techinques
What did the Romans develop to use for their construction?
The Romans were first to fully appreciate the advantages of the arch, the vault and the dome. The arch has a strong lad bearing capacity. The Etruscans invented the simple barrel arch and Pergamon invented the vault (adjacent arches which are assembled side by side) which has an even greater load bearing capacity and whose structure is also suited to support large roofs. The Romans invented segmental arch as they realised that an arch did not have to be a semicircle. The Roman used the arch to build gates, aqueducts, bridges which were much longer than before and could cross much wider rivers and valleys. The arches, especially the vault, became essential for the construction of large scale buildings. The Romans also developed a new and much stronger type of concrete which was as resistant as modern concrete and also set underwater (this enabled them to build much bigger docks for ports). However, it was not as fluid as modern concrete and had to be layered by hand. The arch, the vault and concrete were what made the construction of such a massive structure as the Colosseum possible. Concrete was also used to build domes. The Pantheon (a temple which has been turned into a church) in Rome is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. Often the Romans used a mixture of stone, brick and concrete (for the Colosseum stone and concrete were used). The Romans also used columns to build temples and porticoes. The Romans built scaffolding around what they were building. They adopted the cranes of the Greeks and massively improved on them. The simplest one was the trispastos, which had of a single-beam, a winch, a rope, and a block with three pulleys. It had had a mechanical advantage of 3:1, and single man operating the winch could raise 150 kg. The pentaspastos had five pulleys and the polyspastos had a set of three by five pulleys with two, three or four masts. The latter was worked by four men at both sides of the winch and could lift 3,000 kg. When the winch was replaced by a treadwheel, the load could be doubled to 6,000 kg with only half the crew, because the treadwheel had a larger diameter and thus a much bigger mechanical advantage.
Is Mercury stable or radioactive?
It is stable, although there are heavier isotopes that could be radioactive.
Why was Societies with many natura could build cities and armies and developed trade?
Societies with abundant natural resources were able to build cities and armies because they had the materials needed for construction and warfare. Trade and economic development were facilitated by access to resources for production and exchange. Natural resources also allowed for population growth and specialization of labor, contributing to the development of complex societies.
