  2. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    Today, porcelain standoffs are still commonly used with bare-wire electric fencing for livestock, and such porcelain standoffs carry far higher voltage surges without risk of shorting to ground. In summary, K&T wiring that was installed correctly, and not damaged or incorrectly modified since then, is fairly safe when used within the original ...

  3. Scarf joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarf_joint

    Determination of the maximum axial force for two pieces joined by adhesive can easily be determined using two equations that can be derived from the geometry of the problem by breaking the axial force component into a tensile force and shear force normal and parallel to the scarf joint. Shear strength is assumed to be equal to σ/2.

  4. Perimeter fence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter_fence

    Demarcation of a perimeter, when the protection of assets, personnel or buildings is required, is normally affected by the building of a perimeter fence system. The level of protection offered varies according to the threat level to the perimeter. Different types of perimeter fencing include: Chain-link fencing; Metal railings; Palisade fencing

  5. Splice joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splice_joint

    A splice joint is a method of joining two members end to end in woodworking. [1] The splice joint is used when the material being joined is not available in the length required. It is an alternative to other joints such as the butt joint and the scarf joint. Splice joints are stronger than unreinenforced butt joints and have the potential to be ...

  6. Agricultural fencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_fencing

    High tensile (H-T or HT) fencing is a special hard, springy steel wire [6] that was introduced in the 1970s and has slowly gained acceptance. The wire may be a single strand plain or barbed wire, or woven mesh, and is capable of much higher tension than mild steel .

  7. Synthetic fence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_fence

    A horse behind a vinyl fence of flexible "rail" and coated wire. A synthetic fence, plastic fence or (when made of vinyl) vinyl or PVC fence is a fence made using synthetic plastics, such as vinyl , polypropylene, [1] nylon, [2] polythene (polyethylene) ASA, or from various recycled plastics. Composites of two or more plastics can also be used ...

  8. Piling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopile

    Splicing timber piles is still quite common and is the easiest of all the piling materials to splice. The normal method for splicing is by driving the leader pile first, driving a steel tube (normally 60–100 cm long, with an internal diameter no smaller than the minimum toe diameter) half its length onto the end of the leader pile.

  9. Twist-on wire connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-on_wire_connector

    If colored white, it typically may be used for splicing neutral wires in a device box, while leaving a pigtail free for connection to a device (such as a receptacle). If colored green, the assembly is intended to be used as a grounding pigtail, similar to the feedthrough twist-on wire connectors without a permanently-attached wire.
