The document summarizes Chemobau's concrete paving technology which uses a special machine to automatically perform all necessary operations for concrete road construction. The machine can create roadways and profiles through two methods - the inset method and offset method. The inset method presses and models fresh concrete into the desired pavement form using robust formwork attached to the machine. Anchors and dowels are also automatically placed. The offset method transports supplied concrete within a formwork to shape monolithic profiles during forward movement. The machine lays concrete with high precision and quality for applications such as highways, airport runways, tunnels, and more.

DEMOLITION OF STRUCTURE BY ABHINAV RAWATAbhinav Rawat
This document provides an overview of demolition processes and methods. It discusses the history of demolition using explosives, the objectives of demolition projects, and the typical steps and safety measures involved in planning a demolition. It then describes various demolition methods including ball and crane, dismantling, pneumatic breakers, pressure bursting, and explosives. Explosive demolition, also called implosion, involves strategically placing explosives to bring down a structure in a controlled collapse. Proper planning including pre-weakening, test blasts, and explosive placement is needed to conduct an implosion safely and minimize environmental impacts.

1. Highway Construction
The operations that are carried out for constructing an embankment are clearing, stripping and
storing top soil, placing of embankment, rolling and finishing. Whether you might be planning to do
the construction yourself or to employ a contractor, cost always needs cautious regard. Typically,
these firms bill by the amount of hauling space is used in a flatbed truck. The second one was
obviously a concrete walls of the service core I mentioned above. No construction is achievable
without the utilization of numerous forms of Construction Equipment, including heavy equipment to
the light ones.
Crawler and Bulldozer: Crawler, a vehicle heavy
weight vehicle, is utilized for flattening road
surfaces. But when the fund is insufficient for
the manifestation of all of the specifications,
then estimating needs to be done. The camber
provided is steep ranging from1 in 20 to at least
one in23 which allows water to drain off quickly.
A construction professional should meet all of
the requirements according to the available
fund. Crane: Crane is a tower with pulleys and cables for lifting and lowering the materials.
Also, in making an estimate, it is advisable to help keep
materials like steel bars and tie wires that reinforce
the concrete and add to the structures stability. But in
the event the fund is insufficient for that manifestation
of all of the specifications, then estimating needs to be
done. They should not apply to standard labor cost of
the masons, steel men, plumbers and workers in other
specializations. It also has a backhoe about the top of
an undercarriage which includes wheels attached to it.
2. Trimmings are only applicable for purchase of
materials needed, professional fees and cost-
maintenance. They must not apply to standard labor
cost of the masons, steel men, plumbers and workers
in other specializations. The design allows to get a
200 year period for typhoon return and a 2000 year
return on earthquake. The design allows for any 200
year period for typhoon return along with a 2000 year
return on earthquake. The original cost that the
drawing represents can even be halved without
affecting much the steadiness and aesthetic value of
the structure.
For Shanghai World Financial Center construction or other
building areas where winds really are a problem, the seismic
effects typically include:. In addition to removing debris and
hauling away unwanted items. In estimating, the planner
(usually a civil engineer or a structural engineer) studies the
drawing. However, there should be described as a careful
regard in searching for natives. Controlling story drift (wind,
seismic).
Also, for making an estimate, it is better to help keep materials like steel bars and tie wires that
reinforce the concrete and add to the structures stability. Without the utilization of your well trained
and experienced construction team, these steps are more unlikely being accomplished in the
proficient manner. Although other buildings were structured because geographical location,
however, not with the same height and greatness.
