What is out of plane bending in beams?

If the beam bends such that the plane of the loading is parallel to axis of the beam passing through its center of gravity then the bending is known as in-plane bending. Otherwise due to effects of twisting and lateral forces perpendicular to the plane of loading then it is called out-of-plane bending

How long are cement chutes on cement trucks?

Normally about 1-2 meters each. Most trucks have 2 on the back and 2 stored somewhere else on the truck.

What is footprint in construction?

A footprint, from a construction point of view, is the projected area on the ground or basement, upon witch the construction is to be placed. In other words it is the total consumed horizontal area of the vertical span of the object. An example of this Is the Eiffel Tower. The footprint of the Eiffel Tower is the total square under it, not just the four plates it stands on.

Disadvantages of using plywood?

Although Plywood has many advantages it also has some disadvantages. One disadvantage is because of the layering effect in plywood, it makes it very absorbent to water. This makes it prone to water damage if it is left in the rain for too long.

How many Square feet does 1 ton of asphalt cover?

This depends on many factors like the area of the pavement being covered and the thickness of the pavement. This question is very general and can have many answers. Here are some conversions to help figure out how many sq ft 1 ton of asphalt cover.

0.056 tons asphalt/ SY (1 in thick) and 9 sf/1 SY. using these conversions will yield an answer of 1 ton of asphalt (1 in thick) coverinig 160.7 sf

What is the proportion of oil sand mix to be use for the foundation of refinery tanks?

Bituminous Sand.

Flat steel based tanks at ground level should be bedded on bituminous sand, provided by the contractor. It should be in accordance with BS 2654 (now EN 14015:2004), produced by hot mixing the following proportions by mass:

a). 9 +/- 0.5% non-toxic cut black bitumen (i.e. fluxed with kerosene and not creosote).

b). 10 +/- 1.0% filler: either limestone dust passing a sieve on nominal aperture size 0.075 mm(75 microns) complying with BS 410, or Portland cement.

c). 81 +/- 1.5% clean dry washed sand with the properties given in table 2 of BS 881, Part 2: 1973.

How do you connect wood post to steel I beam?

There are basically two methods, firstly you could use a very strong form of adhesive, but for obvious reasons this is not recommended, secondly, fasteners are generally used like bolts or another piece of metal strapping the wood that gets bolted on. Keep in mind that wood absorbs moisture and metal rusts, so make sure you seal both materials well.

What is the crown in road paving and where is it?

Alright... your interest in paving (and also grading, if you don't realize it) is a bit curious to me, but, to the point..

Roads aren't laid flat. They might appear flat at a glance, but they're not. A lot of factors go into engineering roadways, and that also includes anticipated rainfall/storm surge and drainage. Not laying these roads flat ensures that water runs off the roadways... if it didn't, then it could pool up on the roadways and make them very dangerous to drive. So the idea of not laying a road flat is to prevent things such as hydroplaning in the vehicles traveling on them.

So there'll be a high point in the roadway - that's called the crown. Where it is, exactly, depends on the roadway itself, as well as the factors which go into designing the roadway. Let's say you're driving on a roadway in a mountainous region... for the sake of argument, we'll say it's a road which runs north-south. On the west side of the roadway, you have high ground, while you'll have lower ground on the east side of the roadway. Well, knowing how gravity works, you'll know that the drainage is going to be to the east side of the roadway, so that roadway will be graded so that it slopes downward towards the east side. The crown is going to be the high point on the west side of the roadway in this instance.

Now, if you're traveling along a number of other roads... rural roads on flat land, city/subdivision streets, et. al, you might notice storm drains or ditches on both sides of the roadway. What this means is that drainage is diverted in both directions, so the crown will be more towards the center of the roadway. The caveat to this type of design being that that crown is going to be the weak point of the asphalt mat which is laid on it... if you go down a road with an older asphalt mat, you might notice that crews will come by and do crack seal - pouring tar into cracks which form in the roadway. And you'll often see long lines of this crack sealant right smack in the center of it... that's because a crown set up in this fashion is often the first point at which cracks will form in the asphalt mat.

A typical crown grade will be 2 - 3% - nothing very drastic. Setting up the roadway and crown (and grading out the quarter crown, as well) will be the job of dirt crews, rather than asphalt crews. The dirt crews will start by cutting a rough grade in the vicinity of where the roadway will be. Then they'll take the transit and shoot hubs.. the formula for this, I'm not going to get into right now, because I could show you much easier than I could explain it here. So they'd shoot the hubs, tap them into the grown at the point where the dirt should be, and the graders will cut down the dirt or fill it in and grade it to the top of those hubs, then the grader will cut the grade and ensure that the grade is the appropriate depth below the top of the curb face... so, if there's four inches of asphalt, the grade will be cut four inches below the top of the curb face, and the blade will be angled at whatever the grade of the crown is. The whole process of cutting a grade involves both the blade hand (who runs the grader), and a laborer who'll chase hubs.. they'll ensure each hub is uncovered, signal to the blade hand how far down they need to cut (or how far up they need to fill), etc. They'll also probably have to do various other tasks at given times, such as running the sheep's foot or combo roller, maybe even running a scraper, etc.

How do you calculate the swl of a steel beam?

Ask a mechanical engineer. People's lives often depend on the answer and some random guy on the internet that isn't bonded, licensed, or hasn't even graduated high school could provide you with an answer indistinguishable from a real equation.
