The literature review for this particular study is conducted in order to ascertain what, if any, problems, solutions and circumstances are present with the manner in which current piles are developed, used and maintained. The literature should Continue Reading...
2). An increase in the height of the beam gives the beam more material "to dissipate the tension"; and when the beam is quite tall, due to the depth of the river or gorge it needs to cross over, there is then the need to add "…latticework, or Continue Reading...
Real trial-based evidence shows a
clear success in reduced cracking in cement which is reinforced thusly.
Our research tells that these reinforces cement bodies "have aspect ratios
of 500 or more and diameters - about the same size as the distance b Continue Reading...
