634066 Edison Cheung AGRICULTURAL DRAIN

The removal of water from the surface ofthe land and the control of the shallowgroundwater table improves the soil as amedium for plant growth.

The purpose of agricultural drainage canbe summed up as the improvement of soilwater conditions to enhance agriculturaluse of the land. Such enhancement maycome about by direct effects on cropgrowth, by improving the efficiency offarming operations or, under irrigatedconditions, by maintaining or establishinga favorable salt regime. Drainage systemsare engineering structures that removewater according to the principles of soilphysics and hydraulics. Theconsequences of drainage, however, mayalso include a change in the quality of thedrainage water. Agricultural drainage isdivided into two broad classes; surfaceand subsurface. Some installations serveboth purposes.

AIR BARRIER

638039 Yasmeen Hassan BOX GUTTER

A box gutter is a form of gutteringsystem. It gets it's name as not only doesit embody a box'like shape, but it is alsoboxed-in on all sides limiting stormwaterfrom flowing out of the gutter.

A box gutter is located between tworoofing systems that feed stormwater intoit - the water is then drained throughdownpipe nozzles. The box gutter isusually installed before the roof, thereforeif the gutter has to be replaced, the roofhas to be removed; making replacementtime consuming and costly.

Used on the bottom of window framesand on other edges where water runs offthe building. The drip provides amechanism to ensure that water will notrun back towards the building by creatinga gap which causes the water pool andsubsequently drip (hence the name).

Drips are often worked into buildingmasonary, but drips can be formed inmultiple materials and in different styles.

Pararpet capping is a kind of flash on theparapetwall which provides an effectivesolution for preventing water fromentering from the top of a parapet wall.

A variety of materials are available to capoff the wall, with limestone, terra cotta,hard-fired clay, or precast concretepreferred.These materials have thermalproperties similar to those of brick andconcrete masonry.Metal caps, on theother hand, have a coefficient of thermalexpansion nearly three times greater thanmasonry, which causes a significantamount of differential movement betweenthe parapet cap and the wall below.Capscan be manufactured in a variety ofshapes, but they must possess adequatepitch, sufficient projections (1-in.minimum), and continuous drips.

A Batten is a small section of timber orsteel which provides a means ofsupporting, positioning or fixing roofcladding

Battens run perpendicular to, and overthe top of the rafters. They are fixed onthe outer side of the rafters and aredesigned as bending members spanningbetween the rafters and loaded by gravityforces from construction or by wind upliftforces transmitted through the sheeting.While they have a structural function forthe overall roof frame, they are principallythe support for the roof cover.

637618 ElizabethHazlewood GUTTER

Used to collect water running off theeaves of roofs.By collecting the waterthey are directing it away from thebuilding, helping prevent erosion andflooding.

Gutters can be connected to drainpipes(the downward following pipes) to helpcontrol where water runs on a property.Gutters also enable the collection ofrainwater-to-rainwater tanks. There aremany different types of gutters design fordifferent environment, for example inareas of gutter exposed to high levels offalling vegetation the gutter can comewith mesh place on top to prevent theloss leaves clogging the gutter andpreventing it from taking water off theroof.

It is a protective layer of materials thatseparates a building's structure andinterior from exterior elements, such asweather and sound.

HOW,WHERE AND WHEN The exteriorcladding is often not one material but anassembly of materials, and each materialhas its own importance in blockingexterior conditions. For example, acontemporary house will have an exteriorveneer of siding or brick, a moistureresistant plastic wrap, insulation and avapor barrier to protect the interior.

Cold-formed steel is widely used forbuildings, automobiles, equipment,home and office furniture, utility poles,storage racks, grain bins,highway products, drainage facilities, andbridges. Its popularity canbe attributed to ease of mass productionand prefabrication, uniformquality, lightweight designs, economy intransportation and handling,and quick and simple erection orinstallation.

Curtain wall is a term used to describe abuilding facade which does not carry anydead load from the building other than itsown dead load. These loads aretransferred to the main building structurethrough connections at floors or columnsof the building. A curtain wall is designedto resist air and water infiltration, windforces acting on the building, seismicforces, and its own dead load forces.

How:Curtain walls are typically designedwith extruded aluminum members,although the first curtain walls wereprepared of steel. Where:The curtainwalls are found in the outside of buildingstoday to enhance sunlight and transferthe load to the main building structureWhen:Prior to the mid-20th Century,historically, a curtain wall described theset of walls that surrounded and protectedthe interior of a medieval castle.

Flashing is used in roof valleys, ridges,hips, changes in roof pitch, chimneys,vent pipes, roof drains and skylights.There are other locations on the roof inwhich flashing is used, anywhere wherewater may be able to penetrate into theroof (Ching 2008).

process or result of oxidizing or beingoxidized

Redox reactions are encountered inalmost all branches of science and manyphenomena couldbe explained using the concept of thisterm. It may be a simple electrolysis orrusting andcorrosion of metals (or the losing luster ofthe “metallic” portion of the “golden” frameof yourspectacles in contact with the saltysweats on face). It may be the problem ofextracting puremetal which is present as oxide in the ore.It may be environmental problems like therelease ofgases such as hydrogen sulfide andmethane or high concentrations of metalssuch as Mn and Feor non metals like arsenic and fluoride inwater that is being pumped from a deepwell. Myriadsof phenomena move around “redoxreactions”.

How it is usedAn arch is used to provide support andstructure to a building. Arches can beconstructed from concrete, brick andmore recently steel. Where it is usedThe arch is found in various locationsacross the globe infiltrating cultures suchas the early Mesopotamians, theEgyptians the Greeks and the Romans(The Riverlands, 2013).Egyptians have used arches for vaultsand tombs whilst Greeks and Romanshave used arches for practical purposesin buildings (The Riverlands, 2013). When it is usedThe arch structure dates back to ancienttimes, with Mesopotamian buildingsfeaturing brick arches in the secondcentury. However, this structure is stillwidely used today and up until the 19thcentury it was the only known method ofconstructing a roof without the use ofbeams (The Riverlands, 2013).

Buckling is caused by a bifurcation in thesolution to the equations of staticequilibrium.

Buckling is a mathematical instability,leading to a failure mode. It ischaracterized by a sudden failure of astructural member subjected to highcompressive stress. For example, during earthquakes,reinforced concrete members mayexperience lateral deformation of thelongitudinal reinforcing bars. This mode offailure is also described as failure due toelastic instability.
