  2. Ready-mix concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready-mix_concrete

    In the UK, ready-mixed concrete is specified either informally, by constituent weight or volume (1-2-4 or 1-3-6 being common mixes) or using the formal specification standards of the European standard EN 206+ A1, which is supplemented in the UK by BS 8500. This allows the customer to specify what the concrete has to be able to withstand in ...

  3. Volume and displacement indicators for an architectural ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_and_displacement...

    The volume of the elements subject to pure traction is also only very rarely limited to the product of the net distance over which a force is applied by a section strained at the permissible stress. In other words, their real volume indicator is thus also higher than the one which results from the calculation of W. A bar under traction can be ...

  4. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa ⋅ m 3 / kg , or N ⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2 , though the latter form is rarely used.

  5. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

    The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale. Thus on an architect's drawing one might read 'one centimeter to one meter', 1:100, 1/100, or ⁠ 1 / 100 ⁠. A bar scale would also normally appear on the drawing. Colon may also be substituted with a specific ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_bulk_container

    A standard flexible intermediate bulk container can hold 500 to 1,000 kg (1,100 to 2,200 lb) and manufacturers offer bags with a volume of 285–2,830 litres (10–100 cu ft). [2] Flexible intermediate bulk containers are made of woven polyethylene or polypropylene or other heavy polymers.

  7. Non-shrink grout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-shrink_grout

    Non-shrink grout being applied to tiles. Non-shrink grout is a hydraulic cement grout that, when hardened under stipulated test conditions, does not shrink, so its final volume is greater than or equal to the original installed volume.

  8. Elastic properties of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_properties_of_the...

    Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.

  9. Volume fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_fraction

    The volume of such a mixture is slightly less than the sum of the volumes of the components. Thus, by the above definition, the term "40% alcohol by volume" refers to a mixture of 40 volume units of ethanol with enough water to make a final volume of 100 units, rather than a mixture of 40 units of ethanol with 60 units of water.
