Polypropylene and nylon FRC have been applied to non-structural and non-primary load-bearing applications. They are commonly employed in residential, commercial, and industrial products, such as slabs for composite metal deck construction, floor overlays, shotcrete for slope stabilization and pool construction, precast units, slip form curbs, and mortar applications involving sprayed and plastered Portland cement stucco (Krenchel and Shah, 1985 Zollo and Hays, 1991). 

Uses Emulsifier for min. oils, wh. spirit, bitumen, for metalworking, road construction, floor care prods. 

Residential Construction. Owing to rising energy costs, the cost and low thermal conductivity are of prime importance in wall and ceiling insulation of residential buildings. The combination of insulation efficiency, desirable stmctural properties, ease of appHcation, abiHty to reduce air infiltration, and moisture resistance has led to use of extmded polymeric foam in residential constmction as sheathing, as perimeter and floor insulation under concrete, and as a combined plaster base and insulation for walls.

An Example of Functional Notation Suppose that a storage warehouse of 16,000 fF is required. The construction costs per square foot are 10, 3, and 2 for walls, roof, and floor respectively. What are the minimum cost dimensions Thus, with h = height, x = width, and y = length, the respective costs are... 

This type of clarifier is used in apphcations such as prehminaiy oil-water separations in refineries and clarification of waste streams in steel mills. When multiple units are employed, common walls are possible, reducing construction costs and saving on floor space. Overflow clarities, however, generally are not as good as with circiilar clarifiers, due primarily to reduced overflow weir length for eqmvalent areas. 

Of all continuous filters, the vacuum disk is the lowest in cost per unit area of filter when mild steel, cast iron, or similar materials of construction may be used. It provides a large filtering area with minimum floor space, and it is used most in high-tonnage dewatering apphcations in sizes up to about 300 m" (3300 ft") of filter area.

Because of their low thermal conductivity, high temperature capability, low cost, and neutron tolerance, carbon materials make ideal thermal insulators in nuclear reactor environments. For example, the HTTR currently under construction in Japan, uses a baked carbon material (Sigri, Germany grade ASR-ORB) as a thermal insulator layer at the base of the core, between the lower plenum graphite blocks and the bottom floor graphite blocks [47]. 

Several large applications for one-component moisture-cure urethane adhesives are available. Polymeric MDI is an exceptional binder for wood products, such as oriented strand board and particleboard. One-component urethane windshield adhesives are used almost exclusively in both the OEM and automotive aftermarket. One-part urethane adhesives are used to assemble the sidewalls for recreational vehicles (RV s), manufactured housing, and mobile homes. In construction applications, one-part urethanes are used to bond metal doors, hardwood flooring, panels, and partitions. 

Lift a ceiling tile and examine the plenum for potential problems. Walls or full-height partitions that extend to the floor above can obstruct or divert air movement in ceiling plenums unless transfer grilles have been provided. If fire dampers have been installed to allow air circulation through walls or partitions, confirm that the dampers are open. Construction debris and damaged or loose material in the plenum area may become covered with dust and can release particles and fibers. 

Outdoor air is generally less polluted than the system return air. However, problems with reentry of previously exhausted air occur as a result of improperly located exhaust and intake vents or periodic changes in wind conditions. Other outdoor contamination problems include contaminants from other industrial sources, power plants, motor vehicle exhaust, and dust, asphalt vapors, and solvents from construction or renovation. Also, heat gains and losses through the building envelope due to heat conduction through exterior walls, floor, and roof, and due to solar radiation and infiltration, can be attributed to effects from external sources. 

Local ventilation is often a very important part of the ventilation system, both in function and in construction, which makes a specific definition difficult. In addition to the above definitions it can be defined as ventilation of a separate volume inside a large room, as opposed to general ventilation, which is for the complete room or building. One problem with this definition is that local ventilation systems could function as localized ventilation in one surrounding and as general ventilation in another surrounding e.g., a ceiling inlet combined with floor exhaust is a local ventilation system in a... 

The structural elements of a building consist of the envelope elements (external walls, floors, ceilings, roof) and internal constructional elements (internal walls). All these opaque (not light transmitting) elements are referred to as walls in this section. Translucent elements are referred to as windows. 

The variation in temperature across the top and bottom halves of the mold is a function of the press platen size, the flatness of the mold and platen surfaces at the two mold/platen interfaces, the mold construction, and the platen heating system. The larger the platen size, the more difficult it is to maintain a constant temperature across the platen. Therefore, one solution to the problem is to use a large number of molding presses with a relatively small platen size, for example, four presses with platens 355 x 355 mm will have approximately the same production capacity as one press with a 710 x 710 mm platen. In reality, for high-volume production, large presses are more economical from the cost point of view and the floor space required. 

Floor, wall, and roof systems for light-frame construction. 

The improved physical and mechanical properties of the wood-plastic composites lead to a diversity of applications, e.g., automotive parts, furniture, construction (e.g., building panel, flooring veneers), toys, cutlery handles, industrial pattern, sports equipment, musical... 

Lawniczak [50] proved the usability of WPC for floors in freight railway cars and sleepers. After several years long service, car floors constructed of WPC demonstrated good performance without symptoms of wear due to abrasion, tightness in all seasons of the year, and resistance to chemical or biotic erosion. 

This new technology also allowed greater architectural freedom. Post-World War II construction incorporated sealed aluminum and glass facades, or curtain walls. The United Nations Building was the first major post-World War II project to be designed with a curtain wall system and air conditioning. Larger floor cross sections were possible, and interior offices could be created with man-niade environments. 

An arch dam, on the other hand, relies on its shape to withstand the pressure of the water behind it. The arch curves back upstream and the force exerted by the water is transferred through the dam into the river valley walls and to the river floor. They are normally constructed in deep gorges where the geological foundations are veiy sound. The United States s Hoover Dam is an example of a concrete arch dam.
