Construction floor layers

The affected workers are relatively young with respect to the mean age of construction workers in general. Only 20% of patients are older than 55 years at presentation, and these tend to be full-time construction workers previously sensitised to chromates, with a recent history of exposure to special floorings. Moreover, floor layers tend to seek medical help rather early after the onset of symptoms, in contrast to general construction workers, who usually seek help after several years of dermatitis. 

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]. 

Figure 1 illustrates the construction and mode of operation of a biofilter. The ventilation air from the bam is extracted by fans which blow the air into a duct. From this duct the air is released beneath a slatted floor upon which) a ca 50cm thick layer of peat has been placed. During the passage of the air through the layer of peat the odours are adsorbed and converted by microorganisms to odourless substances. 

Horticulture Pit. The horticulture pit was constructed in 1969-70 and has been in continuous use since that time. The 8.8 x 3.4 m concrete pit has an average depth of 1 m and has been filled with alternate 30 cm layers of gravel and soil as shown in Figure 1. The soil is a silt loam (Clarion-Nicolett-Webster) characteristic of Central Iowa. A cover closes automatically to prevent precipitation from entering. A tile system constructed below the concrete floor of the pit connects to a sump for sampling of the ground water. The 30,000 L pit has had over 30 kg of more than 40 different pesticides deposited since beginning operation. 

The bark extract bonded particleboards met specifications requiring the inherent durability provided by phenolic adhesives. These products are used for floor decking for modular homes, specialized furniture uses, home siding, garage door panels and more recently, as a wall and roof sheathing and single layer floor decking in conventional home construction. Thus, phenol and phenol-resorcinol modified resins can be replaced by a low-cost bark product. This use of bark would be a profitable outlet for bark residues and could lead to virtual independence of the wood particleboard industry from the petrochemical industry. 

Because of the construction of oil and gas pipelines on the floor of the Black Sea and to the intensification of the geological prospecting and transportation of hydrocarbons in the sea, the issues of the studies of the water dynamics in the deep-sea layers and of the topography and structure of the upper layer of the sediments in the Black Sea basin becomes especially urgent. 

The rapid decrease of emission in one of the floorings seems to be due to the hardening of the acid curing laquer layer and not to the ageing of the UF-resin in the laminated construction. Acknowledgment... 

In Europe the most common types of wood based flooring are two- and three-layer sandwich parquet. In these constructions a decorative surface layer is glued perpendicular to a core consisting of pine- or spruce-ribs or different board materials. Veneer is used as backing material for the three-layer construction to stabilize the construction (Fig. 8). Two-layer parquet is mainly produced with PVAc. Three-layer sandwich parquet is produced with both UF adhesives and PVAc adhesives, but the use of UF adhesives is predominant. 

Note the added white card (cardboard) spanning the gutter crease and the false yellow floor, made using the Floating Layers technique. The careful use of coloured card and pattern give visual interest to an otherwise simple construction.

The granular layer is often used as a general construction or piling platform before tire floor slab is constructed. This usually results in clogging of the venting layer and is not recommended, unless a sacrificial surface layer is removed before placement of the geocomposite or pipes.
