Engineered structure

Waterproofing, whether it has to do with protecting civil engineering structures or roofs or terraces. Poured asphalt, often placed in layers with kraft paper, oxidized bitumen or modified bitumen can be used, generally with copolymer. The modified bitumen are used for the making prefabricated multi-layer waterproofing composites.

Seismie analysis is carried out for all important engineering structures such as dams, bridges and nuclear power plants. For regions where these are to be located the likely expectations of an earthquake as well as the extent of its magnitude must be assessed on the basis of the seismic history and the earthquake records of the region (Figures 14.12 to Figure 14.16). Based on these and other factors such as soil stratification, site dependent response spectra are determined. These are the RRS for equipment mounted...

Therefore, the use of welding as a method of fabrication may modify the corrosion behaviour of an engineering structure, and this may be further aggravated by removal of protective systems applied before welding, whilst at the same time the use of such anti-corrosion coatings may lead to difficulties in obtaining satisfactorily welded joints ... 

A metal s resistance to fatigue is markedly reduced in a corrosive environment. Many welded structures are subjected to fluctuating stresses which, with the superimposed tensile residual stress of the joint, can be dangerous. In addition to this a welded joint is a discontinuity in an engineering structure containing many possible sites of stress concentration, e.g. toe or root of the joint, weld ripple.

It is useful to get preliminary learning on the mechanical properties of materials under simple static tension. Members of engineering structures are often subjected to steady axial loads in tension. Moreover, the response of materials subjected to other types of loading also can often be explained or predicted on the basis of knowledge of their behaviour under simple tension. In addition, such behaviour is usually quite easy to study experimentally.

Of particular importance in these application are the long lifetimes. Civil engineering structures can be designed for up to 120 years service. Safety is critical where the geotextile is used for reinforcement, such as in steep embankments, retaining walls, bridge abutments, and embankments built over soft soil or old mineworkings. 

Reservoirs can be either natural or man-made. Natural reservoirs can include lakes or other contained water bodies, while man-made reservoirs usually consist of some sort of engineered structure, such as a tank or other impoundment structure. In addition to the water containment structure itself, reservoir systems may also include associated water treatment and distribution equipment, including intakes, pumps, pump houses, piping systems, chemical treatment and chemical storage areas, and so forth.

Field models estimate the fire environment in a space by numerically solving the conservation equations (i.e., momentum, mass, energy, diffusion, species, etc.) as a result of afire. This is usually accomplished by using a finite difference, finite element, or boundary element method. Such methods are not unique to fire protection they are used in aeronautics, mechanical engineering, structural mechanics, and environmental engineering. Field models divide a space into a large number of elements and solve the conservation equations within each element. The greater the number of elements, the more detailed the solution. The results are three-dimensional in nature and are very refined when compared to a zone-type model.
