This video explains how to properly build a concrete slab from start to finish! See the entire process step-by-step, from grading the site to polishing the perfect concrete slab. Slab-on-grade construction is popular in strawbale and frame house construction, and for numerous projects such as garages, guest cottages, outdoor patios, additions, workshops, and studios. This video includes up-to-date information to build your own concrete slab foundation to code. General contractor Andrew Morrison walks you through each stage of the concrete foundation building process.
This video includes:
Details on four different types of foundations.
Proper site evaluation.
How to build around existing structures.
How to level the site.
Compacting a gravel base.
Building, setting, and squaring concrete forms.
Insulation placement options.
How to bring electrical and plumb
ing lines into the slab.
Pouring, leveling, and polishing concrete.
A list of tools needed for each step of the project.
Definitions and explanations of all the relevant terms.
Instruction suited to beginning builders as well as experienced hands.
Tons of tips and techniques to save you time and money.
Learn how to set up “batter” boards to help establish perfectly square forms. Find out how to assess lumber for form boards for “crown” and “sway,” and how to make the best use of natural variances in the wood. Learn how to brace your forms to keep the corners square when the concrete is poured. Learn the 3, 4, 5 technique to get perfectly square corners. Use concrete stakes to fine-tune level and square. Paying attention to these details will make your finished slab perfect!
Learn to set up the concrete slab for interior and exterior stud walls, or how to alter the slab for straw bale construction, including details such as how to leave a notch in the foundation to keep an exterior plaster coat flush to the floor.
Start the sub-slab development process right and eliminate headaches as you pour concrete. Learn what you need to do before you call in the concrete delivery truck, including what materials make up the sub-slab, what order they need to be in, the recommended thickness, and the techniques to use.
Learn about different conditions that require a slightly different mix of concrete. Feel confident conversing with the driver of the concrete truck. Learn the best tools and techniques to float your concrete pad and find out how to finish up around the edges and around the anchor bolts.

This 2nd edition continues to look at the rational planning for port facilities requirements (berths, storage and cargo handling equipment), organizations, management and operations with relation to planning and design of ports and marine terminals.Following from the success of the first edition, written by a collection of eminent figures in the field, this new edition continues to look at the rational planning for port facilities requirements (berths, storage and cargo handling equipment), organizations, management and operations with relation to planning and design of ports and marine terminals. Taking into account the rapid decrease in throughput due to containerization and the subsequent conversion of cargo berths for other uses, such as multi-purpose and container terminals, this book looks at data regarding natural conditions for site selection, choice of location and orientation of major port components – such as access channels, basins quays and specialized berths. This new edition also looks in detail at breakwater design and the use of model tests, channel design and proposed methods for determining sedimentation rates in channels, and ways to optimize channel depth. This book will be an invaluable resource for practicing engineers and planners, port administrators and operators, as well as graduate engineers specializing in the field. Contents include: A hybrid approach – including a simulation program on determining container terminal facilities; A detailed analysis of the important shipping categories of world fleets, which have been specifically acquired from Lloyds Register; High-speed ferry terminals; Dredging and disposal of contaminated sediment; Marpol; and Environmental consideration.

This Handbook provides a complete clause-by-clause guide to the Code and is essential reading for anyone wishing to exploit the cost benefits achieved through the use of masonry both reinforced and prestressed, and includes numerous worked examples, and a model specification. Design charts and interaction curves are included to aid the designer, together with an extensive bibliography. Guidance is given on design procedures for enhancing the lateral load resistance of otherwise unreinforced masonry panels by the incorporation of bed joint reinforcement.

Reinforced concrete has the potential to be very durable and capable of withstanding a variety of adverse environmental conditions. However, failures in the structures do still occur as a result of premature reinforcement corrosion. In this authoritative book the fundamental aspects of this complex process are analyzed; focusing on corrosion of the reinforcing steel, and looking particularly, at new scientific and technological developments.
Comprehensive reviews on the use of surface treatments and coatings and the application of corrosion inhibitors and electrochemical techniques are provided. In each case, the necessary scientific fundamentals are explained and practical applications discussed.About the editor
Professor Böhni worked at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ), until his retirement in 2002.

Many new or relatively new welding processes, such as friction stir welding, resistance spot welding, and laser welding, are being increasingly adopted to replace or improve on traditional welding techniques. Before advanced welding techniques are employed, their potential failure mechanisms should be well understood and their suitability for welding particular metals and alloys in different situations should be assessed. Failure Mechanisms of Advanced Welding Processes provides a critical analysis of advanced welding techniques and their potential failure mechanisms.
The book first covers the mechanics modeling of spot welds, applications to fatigue life predictions, resistance spot weld failure mode, and weld performance for aluminum alloys, dual phase steels, and TRIP steels. It then discusses fatigue behavior of spot welded joints in steel sheets, the nondestructive evaluation of spot weld quality, solid state joining, and failure mechanisms in friction stir welds, before describing the microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of laser weld bonding of magnesium alloy to aluminum alloy. The book also explores fatigue in laser welds, weld metal ductility, the joining of lightweight materials using reactive nanofoils, and fatigue life prediction and improvements for MIG-welded advanced high strength steel weldments.
With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this book is a standard reference for anyone using modern and advanced welding processes in the automotive, shipbuilding, oil, gas and metal fabrication industries.

Architectural Surfaces: Details for Artists, Architects, And Designers
Author: Judy A. Juracek | Size: 38.6 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company | Year: 2005 | pages: 352 | ISBN: 0393730794
This is a picture book for architects to illustrate various treatments, hundreds of various treatments for surfaces. Surfaces includes walls, facades, ornaments & moldings, columns & posts, windows, dorways, ceilings & roofs, floors & pavement. The concept is to show what has been done by others which can help in filling out their ideas about projects. And it is useful in showing or asking clients for their comments on proposed treatments.
All in all there are some sixteen hundred photographs in the 350 or so pages of the book. The overall design of a building is the first thing that is noticed, but the surface treatment isn't far beyond. And unlike the design, the surfaces from the floor to the ceiling are covered in paint, carpets, drapes, dozens of different treatments. All in all, the surface finishing may be the most expensive part of the building.
