  2. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    Common sources may include cooking, bathing, dishwashers, etc. The moisture in the air condenses on cold surfaces, sometimes inside the walls called interstitial condensation. Buildings with poorly insulated walls are very prone to this problem. It often causes damage similar to damp in a building and often appears in similar places.

  3. Underfloor air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_air_distribution

    The ground floor with a slab on grade has less temperature rise compared to middle and top floors, and an increase of the supply air temperature causes a decrease in the temperature rise. The temperature rise is not significantly affected by the perimeter zone orientation, the internal heat gain and the window-to-wall ratio. [16]

    Radial drainage pattern The radial drainage network of Dogu’a Tembien in Ethiopia. In a radial drainage system, the streams radiate outwards from a central high point. Volcanos usually have archetypal features on which this commonly develops are modest or hard domes pattern develops when streams flow in many general directions (meaning quite ...

  5. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

    Example of flat piece of concrete having dislodged with corroded rebar underneath, Welland River bridge across Queen Elizabeth Way in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The expansion of the corrosion products (iron oxides) of carbon steel reinforcement structures may induce internal mechanical stress (tensile stress) that cause the formation of cracks and disrupt the concrete structure.

  6. Antecedent drainage stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antecedent_drainage_stream

    The stream thus keeps its dendritic pattern even though it flows over a landscape that will normally produce a trellis drainage pattern. [1] A superimposed stream is a stream that forms over horizontal beds that overlie folded and faulted rock with varying resistance. Having cut down through the horizontal beds, the stream retains its course ...

  7. Air entrainment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_entrainment

    Air entrainment in concrete is the intentional creation of tiny air bubbles in a batch by adding an air entraining agent during mixing. A form of surfactant (a surface-active substance that in the instance reduces the surface tension between water and solids) it allows bubbles of a desired size to form.

  9. Drainage law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_law

    It allows a landowner to make "reasonable" alteration to the drainage pattern of his parcel, with liability only when the alteration causes "unreasonable" harm of neighboring parcels. Judicial mitigation of the common enemy doctrine and civil law rule often results in an approximation of the reasonable use rule.
