Download or read book The Viability of Using Slipform Concrete Construction Technique as an Alternative to Conventional Formwork in the Naval Construction Forces written by Mark Eugene Banks and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portland Cement Concrete has been used in the construction industry for approximately 120 years to provide a strong, durable and relatively long life structure. The desire to replace the non-reusable plywood forms in vertical construction and the heavy steel forms used in the construction of pavements has prompted many individuals to seek alternative methods. Slipform construction is an alternative which has been very successful in the private sector and the idea of employing this rapid construction technique in the U.S. Navy is investigated in pages that follow. The report begins with a cursory review of basic concrete design principles to establish a starting point. An indepth look at the vertical slipform technique is presented with particular attention being taken to accentuate the requirement for highly skilled labor to make the system work efficiently. A discussion of the conventional method of paving concrete roads is presented followed by an address concerning the horizontal slipform technique.

Download or read book Thermoforming written by Geza Gruenwald and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-05-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE FOREWORD Dr. Gruenwald has indicated the desirable properties of polymerics for differing applications; thus, his text is especially useful for polymer chemists who must "tailor" plastic materials for specific groups of applications. Engineers in extruding and calendering film and sheet will benefit from the intimate relationships elucidated between processing parameters imposed upon stocks employed in thermoforming and the products thereof. Mold designers are provided with a complete guide that will enable them to avoid the less obvious pitfalls and wasted effort so often experienced in the evolution of molds for (especially) complex parts.. Quite likely, Dr. Gruenwald's suggestions willl lead to considerable benefits to those who read and practice by this remarkable exposition of thermoforming technology. Robert K.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report will examine the use of concrete slipforming techniques to reduce construction costs for particular structures, and discuss the basic equipment and techniques used in the slipforming process. Chapter Two will outline the history of the slipforming technique in America. Chapter Three will discuss the basic equipment and techniques employed in vertical slipforming. Chapter Four will discuss the equipment used in conjunction with horizontal slipforming techniques. Chapter Five will examine the economic and productive aspects involved with slipforming. Chapter Six is a summary of conclusions and recommendations. It is the purpose of this report to acquaint the reader with the advantages and disadvantages of employing slipforming techniques, and to broaden the readers scope of knowledge with respect to the versatility of concrete as a construction material.
Download or read book Metal forming Techniques written by I. I. Islamoff and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of metal forming is an ancient one, as evidenced by the Greek and Roman helmets and cuirasses produced by the skill of early-day crafts- men. The wooden mallet, the metal hammer, and the leather sand bag used originally for hand forming of metals are still with us. With the advent of hand-operated machinery, a variety of hand brakes, benders, folders, rollers, crimpers, and rope-type drop hammers appeared and are still in use today. The development of power-driven machines brought out power hammers, power brakes, a multitude of presses, including hydraulic monsters (50,000 tons), wrappers, stretchers, steam and pneumatic hammers and the like. All are in use today in combination with tools and dies, some of which are rather sophisticated in nature. Some of the newer techniques of metal forming have been developed by the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory of the Marshall Space Flight Center, and others by the aerospace industry companies.
