  2. Garage door - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage_door

    A hinge on each side that attaches to the bottom of each side of the garage door. Using track hardware, a car can be parked much closer to the door, as the door is positioned entirely inside the garage door header when in the open position. Track-type hardware has less arc when raising and lowering the garage door than jamb-type hardware.

  3. Lift slab construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

    Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground level, negating the ...

  4. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    The linear relationship for a material is known as Young's modulus. Above the yield point, some degree of permanent distortion remains after unloading and is termed plastic deformation . The determination of the stress and strain throughout a solid object is given by the field of strength of materials and for a structure by structural analysis .

  5. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    The dead load includes loads that are relatively constant over time, including the weight of the structure itself, and immovable fixtures such as walls, plasterboard or carpet. The roof is also a dead load. Dead loads are also known as permanent or static loads. Building materials are not dead loads until constructed in permanent position.

  6. Diaphragm (structural system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(structural_system)

    In structural engineering, a diaphragm is a structural element that transmits lateral loads to the vertical resisting elements of a structure (such as shear walls or frames). Diaphragms are typically horizontal but can be sloped in a gable roof on a wood structure or concrete ramp in a parking garage.

  7. Guard rail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_rail

    An example of a common residential guard rail (US) or handrail (Brit.) is a wood railing around a deck or patio. In the US this is typically built on-site from pressure treated lumber thus featuring a simplistic design of vertical baluster spaced every 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) demonstrating compliance with building codes (standards).

  8. Double tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tee

    Double-tee roof structure of an indoor swimming pool. In non-residential buildings, the roof structure may be flat. Structural concrete is an alternative for flat roof construction. There are three main categories for such method: precast/prestressed, cast-in-place and shell. Within the precast/prestressed concrete roofing, the double tees are ...

  9. Space frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_frame

    The roof of this industrial building is supported by a space frame structure. If a force is applied to the blue node and the red bar were not present, the resultant effect on the structure would depend entirely on the blue node's bending rigidity, i.e. to its resistance (or lack thereof) to bending; however, with the red bar in place, then assuming negligible bending rigidity of the blue node ...
