  2. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(geometry)

    In geometry, the sagitta (sometimes abbreviated as sag [1]) of a circular arc is the distance from the midpoint of the arc to the midpoint of its chord. [2] It is used extensively in architecture when calculating the arc necessary to span a certain height and distance and also in optics where it is used to find the depth of a spherical mirror ...

  3. Concrete cone failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_cone_failure

    Under tension loading, the concrete capacity of a single anchor is calculated assuming an inclination between the failure surface and surface of the concrete member of about 35°. The concrete cone failure load N 0 {\displaystyle N_{0}} of a single anchor in uncracked concrete unaffected by edge influences or overlapping cones of neighboring ...

  4. Equivalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_radius

    US hat size is the circumference of the head, measured in inches, divided by pi, rounded to the nearest 1/8 inch. This corresponds to the 1D mean diameter. [1] Diameter at breast height is the circumference of tree trunk, measured at height of 4.5 feet, divided by pi. This corresponds to the 1D mean diameter.

  5. Three-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_flexural_test

    1940s flexural test machinery working on a sample of concrete Test fixture on universal testing machine for three-point flex test. The three-point bending flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending, flexural stress, flexural strain and the flexural stress–strain response of the material.

  6. Hallade method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallade_method

    The process of putting the pegs in the correct positions is known as 'setting out'. If the curve needs to be of a desired constant radius, which will usually be determined by physical obstructions and the degree of cant which is permitted, the versine can be calculated for the desired radius using this approximation. In practice, many track ...

    Suction area: A = w x h = 6.0 m x 3.0 m = 18 m 2; Assuming 1.0 kN/m 2 is applied for oiled steel formwork; Suction force: S = A x 1.0 kN/m 2 = 18 x 1.0 = 18 kN; Applied loads at element lifting (sling angle and lateral tension) F = W x Ksl x Ks x 0.5 = 64.8 x 1.16 x 1.2 x 0.5 = 45.1 kN; Anchor capacity for initial lift

    This translates to a hoppus foot being equal to 1.273 cubic feet (2,200 in 3; 0.0360 m 3). The hoppus board foot, when milled, yields about one board foot. The volume yielded by the quarter-girth formula is 78.54% of cubic measure (i.e. 1 ft 3 = 0.7854 h ft; 1 h ft = 1.273 ft 3). [42]

  9. Concrete mixer - Wikipedia

    Trucks weigh 9,100 to 14,000 kilograms (20,000 to 30,000 lb), and can carry roughly 20,000 kilograms (40,000 lb) of concrete although many varying sizes of mixer truck are currently in use. The most common truck capacity is 10 cubic yards (7.6 m 3). Most concrete mixers in the UK are limited to a speed of 90 kilometres per hour (56 mph).
