Building Components (Foundation)

A foundation (or, more commonly, base) is the element of an architectural structure which connects it to the ground and transfers loads from the structure to the ground. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep. Foundation engineering is the application of soil mechanics and rock mechanics (Geotechnical engineering) in the design of foundation elements

Wood Processing

The major wood product categories are sawntimber, wood-based panels, woodchips, paper and paper products and miscellaneous others including poles and railway sleepers. During the last several decades, forest product processing technologies have undergone extraordinary advances in some of the above categories. Improvements have been achieved in terms of recovery rates, higher qualities in terms of

Perspective Drawing

A mathematical system for representing three-dimensional objects and space on a two-dimensional surface by means of intersecting lines that are drawn vertically and horizontally and that radiate from one point on a horizon line… Although this definition sounds complicated, the concept is relatively simple. One point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things

Drawing Practices

Isometric drawing; A pictorial representation of an object in which all three dimensions are drawn at full scale rather than foreshortening them to the true projection. An isometric drawing looks like an isometric projection but all its lines parallel to the three major axes are measurable. Isometric drawing, also called isometric projection, method of graphic representation of

Processing of Ceramics and Glass

Ceramic Material Manufacturing Methods All ceramics start as a mixture of powdered base material (Zirconia, etc.), binders and stabilizers. This mixture is “formed” into shapes and then fired (sintered) at high temperature to create hard, dense materials. Forming is done using standard processes such as pressing, extruding, injection molding, tape casting or slip casting. Ceramics
