Walls and roofs

Secondary Treatment and Uses. The vast majority of OSB panels are used "as is," without further processing or treatment. Primary uses are as wall and roof sheathing, floor decking, and other constmction panel uses in home and commercial constmction. OSB products are effectively filling in for the decline in plywood production. Small amounts of OSB are used in furniture, primarily as frame stock, and in other uses in which plywood might be used. 

The product contains 12.6% phosphoms and has an OH number in the 450 mg KOH/g range. Fyrol 6 is used to impart a permanent Class 11 E-84 flame spread rating to rigid foam for insulating walls and roofs. Particular advantages are low viscosity, stabiHty in polyol—catalyst mixtures, and outstanding humid aging resistance. Fyrol 6 is used in both spray foam, froth, pour-in-place, and slab stock. 

Extruded Rigid Foa.m. In addition to low temperature thermal insulation, foamed PSs are used for insulation against ambient temperatures in the form of perimeter insulation and insulation under floors and in walls and roofs. The upside-down roof system has been patented (256), in which foamed plastic such as Styrofoam (Dow) plastic foam is appHed above the tar-paper vapor seal, thereby protecting the tar paper from extreme thermal stresses that cause cracking. The foam is covered with gravel or some other wear-resistant topping (see Roofing materials). 

An explosion and fire at an Albright Wilson Americas phosphorus chemicals plant in Charleston, SC (June 17, 1991) killed six and injured 33. The damaged unit lost part of its walls and roof Eight other units on the 200 employee site, sustained minor or no damage, but were shutdown for a few days. At the time of the accident, plant workers were mixing chemicals in the No. 2 reactor in the special products unit when an explosion and fire occurred. Five of the people killed were contract employees not directly involved with the reactor, but were installing insulation nearby. 

Outdoor air temperature is an important factor regarding the building energy balance. Outdoor air temperature affects the heat transfer through external walls and roofs and the heat transfer by ventilation. Moreover, outdoor air... 

Wind pressures The resulting positive or negative pressures due to the wind velocity set up on the walls and roof of a structure. 

A similar incident is described in an official report [6]. A tank with a gummy deposit on the walls and roof had to be demolished. The deposit was unaffected by steaming but gave off vapor when a burner s torch was applied to the outside. The vapor exploded, killing six firemen who were on the roof at the time. 

Chlorofluorocarbon-blown foam blocks are used to insulate the walls and roofs of some buildings, thus reducing heat losses and helping to conserve fossil fuels. In this area, polyurethane foam competes with polystyrene foam, which until recently was blown with dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC 12) but is now blown with a mixture of chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC 22) and 1 -chloro-l,l-difluoroethane (HCFC 142b). 

The motor control center (MCC) and Substation have concrete block load bearing walls of ordinary construction. The control house is of blast resistant construction with reinforced concrete walls and roof designed for 0.2 bar static. All three buildings are 4 m tall. 

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

The first commercial buildings, built in about 2000 B.C.E., were simple structures that represented the beginnings of architecture—a scries of columns, walls, and roofs. Columns represented the upright human stance, walls represented human territoriality, and roofs both kept the rain out and created a crown, or head, for the structure. Walls also represented a separation between the plant and animal world and the human world. The walls of a courtyard formed a human space that became the city. Although the form of buildings has evolved over time, buildings today fundamentally provide these same basic human functions artistic expression, separation, definition, and shelter.

Directional Venting. Most vented explosion safety structures are designed with blowout wall panels, entire walls, entire roofs, or even the entire roof and one wall. Other walls and roofs in the structure are designed to withstand a worst-case explosion without catastrophic failure. The explosion-proof parts of the structure provide some close-in blast protection, and hopefully complete protection from fragments and thermal radiation. But blast in the venting directions is not always attenuated compared to free-field blast and can even be enhanced in certain directions. 

Installation of walls and roofs are used only where necessary (including firewalls).

The net dynamic pressure on a structure is the product of the dynamic pressure and a drag coefficient, Cd. The drag coefficient depends on the shape and orientation of the obstructing surface. For a rectangular building, the drag coefficient may be taken as +3.0 for the front wall, and -0.4 for the side and rear walls, and roof. 

The dynamic pressure exerts the dominant blast effect on open frame structures, framed structures with frangible cladding, and on small structure or components such as poles, stacks, etc. The dynamic pressure also influences, but to a lesser extent, the net blast loads on the walls and roof of an enclosed building as discussed in Section 3.5. 

Shear reinforcing is not commonly used in wall and roof elements even though reinforced elements can undergo an extended plastic response. Shear reinforcing increases the diagonal shear capacity of the member, but more importantly, it... 

In such storage the water vapour is quickly removed by the wind and attack by rain is prevented. In more closed storage places, adequate ventilation must be provided via walls and roof-ridge, while large doors being required for removal of the manure. 

In fired heaters and furnaces, heat is released by combustion of fuels into an open space and transferred to fluids inside tubes which are ranged along the walls and roof of the combustion chamber. 

In that time there was a corridor between the ice layers in the north and the Alps in the south of Europe. It consisted of relatively warm tundra area which extended from former Czechoslovakia to the Ukraine and Siberia. It that area, or to be more precise in Dolni Vestonice (in the Czech Republic) archeologists found three huts not far from each other and next to a small river. These huts were found to be from around 27,000 BC. The place where they were found is situated in low-lying countryside and on limestone covered with loess. The framework of the walls and roofs was made of bones and tusks from mammoths (fig.2.3)... 

The coagulum deposited on the reactor surfaces may be the result of polymerization in large monomer drops or a separate monomer layer, or it may be the result of polymerization of the monomer in the vapor space above the latex or a surface polymerization on the walls and roof of the reactor. Polymerization in the vapor space of the reactor will form solid polymer in the form of particles which may stick to the reactor surfaces or fall into the latex in the later case, these particles serve as nuclei for the formation of coagulum. Polymerization of monomer on the reactor surfaces will form solid particles that become swollen with monomer and grow by flocculation of the latex particles. The surface polymerization can be related to the smoothness of the reactor surface the smoother the surface, the lesser the tendency for surface polymerization and formation of coagulum. 

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.
