  2. Double tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tee

    The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) published the double tee load capacity calculation (load tables) for the first time in the PCI Design Handbook in 1971. The load tables use the code to identify double tee span type by using the width in feet, followed by "DT", followed by depth in inches, for example, 4DT14 is for 4-foot (1.2 m ...

  3. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    In Canada, steel I-beams are now commonly specified using the depth and weight of the beam in metric terms. For example, a "W250x33" beam is approximately 250 millimetres (9.8 in) in depth (height of the I-beam from the outer face of one flange to the outer face of the other flange) and weighs approximately 33 kg/m (22 lb/ft; 67 lb/yd).

  4. Hollow-core slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-core_slab

    The precast concrete slab has tubular voids extending the full length of the slab, typically with a diameter equal to the 2/3–3/4 the thickness of the slab. This makes the slab much lighter than a massive solid concrete floor slab of equal thickness or strength. The reduced weight also lowers material and transportation costs.

  5. Stairs - Wikipedia

    Level, unobstructed landings should be provided at the top and bottom of every flight. The width and length being at least that of the width of the stairs and can include part of the floor. A door may swing across the landing at the bottom of the flight but must leave a clear space of at least 400 across the whole landing Tapered steps

  6. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    It is also known as the stiffness to weight ratio or specific stiffness. High specific modulus materials find wide application in aerospace applications where minimum structural weight is required. The dimensional analysis yields units of distance squared per time squared.

  7. Slenderness ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slenderness_ratio

    Structural engineers generally consider a skyscraper as slender if the height:width ratio exceeds 10:1 or 12:1. Slim towers require the adoption of specific measures to counter the high strengths of wind in the vertical cantilever , like including additional structures to endow greater rigidity to the building or diverse types of tuned mass ...

  9. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    Rebar (short for reinforcement bar or reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or steel reinforcement, [1] is a tension device added to concrete to form reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension.
