Sometimes the use of Fast-track and CM reduced time to a third or less of conventional schedules. [10] [11] The report was titled "Fast-track". Many copies were printed. The concept of a professional construction manager that could implement phased design and construction (Fast-track) for public projects spread rapidly.
In traffic engineering, a merge is the point where two streams of traffic travelling in the same direction from multiple roads or in multiple lanes on the same road are required to merge into a single lane. A merge may be a permanent road feature, for example at the end of a dual carriageway, or a temporary feature, common during roadworks.
The intervals for the blocks are specified in the building code or as calculated by a structural engineer. Blocking also resists the rotational movement, or twisting, of floor joists as they deflect under load. This may take the form of diagonal cross bracing, or herringbone, bracing between floor joists.
Following the construction of 15 Clerkenwell Close, the quarry finishes on the blocks was opposed by a local councilmember due to claims about heritage style and aesthetics. [16] Ironically the use of load-bearing rusticated stone is an ancient style [ 21 ] and the use of limestone was specifically appropriate to the site, which was the site of ...
The Bison wall-frame construction system was a construction method used in tower block construction. It was launched in 1963 by Concrete Ltd who set up factories across the UK to pre-fabricate the parts it. It was not a frame structure as such, instead precast concrete panels formed the structure of high rise blocks.
Beam and block is a construction method to support flooring, especially for ground floors as well as multi story buildings. [1] It is made of cast concrete , one piece of which is a prestressed concrete beam , which can be an inverted T-shaped beam, or lintel, the other piece being a simple rectangular block. [ 1 ]
In particular, construction process is more precise in order for the track to be suitable for regular use at 300 km/h (186 mph). The quality of construction was put to the test in particular during the TGV world speed record runs on the LGV Atlantique; the track was used at over 500 km/h (310 mph) without suffering significant damage. This ...
