The purpose of the different types of rebar experiments was to show how processes such as annealing, rolled, hardened, will affect the grain structure, of a sample of normalized rebar. All the rebar samples were prepared from the different processes such as annealed rebar, normalized rebar, hardened rebar, rolled rebar. The samples were then placed in a thermoplastic machine, each was sanded and polished and etched to examine the grain structure of each sample of rebar .The final experiment Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) was done by taking steel shaving and dissolving them and diluting them in a known solution. Then the solution is then analyzed for its atomic makeup to find the types of elements that go into making steel. The results of the experiment will be shown in a report.
Procedure: .
A. Steel Grain Analysis on Mounted Samples.
1. The normalized rebar sample was cut using the Samplemet 2 Abrasion cutter about 1/2 inch from the sample given by the lab instructor. The rebar was placed securely in the vice to prevent the rebar from coming out of the vice. The sample was then cut by lowering the handle slowly to make sure that the blade would not be damaged while cutting the rebar sample. The sample was cooled during the cutting process and removed once the blade stopped.
2.The sample was then taken to the Duomet II grinder. The machine was turned on with the water to provide a lubricant for the sand paper. The sample was then sanded smooth to remove the rough edges on the 0rebar sample. The sample was rinsed and dried to remove any impurities acquired from the sanding process.
3. The sample was then placed in the Macromet I Rockwell Hardness Tester were three hardness tests was performed on the sample. The sample was moved in different spots each time to get a average overall hardness reading for the normalized rebar sample. .
4.The sample was place into the Simplemet 3 mounting press the side with the harness test.
Steel-Concrete Bond in High-Strength Lightweight Concrete High-strength, lightweight aggregate concrete has many uses for specialized applications such as marine structures, pilings, and earthquake considerations. These examples use this concrete to reduce dead loads. Lightweight aggregate (LWA)...

Before I go to bed, I check every lock in house. I make sure my children are in bed and a light is left on, just in case. When I wake up in the morning, I'm even more vigilant as I walk down the hall to check my home once again before leaving for work. I bring this sense of caution with me wherever ...
Over time Rome has built a lot of great structures that still stand today and still look great. The engineering and design that Rome used had an impact on how structures, monuments, and public works will work for the future. The Renaissance Era which were around the 14th century through the 17th cen...
Architectural precedents shape the way we design and engineer buildings. As human beings any time we smell, hear, touch, or taste anything, we equate it to something we are already familiar with. Precedents work the same way; you cannot have design without first having precedents. Architectural design process as well as structural design process must be thoroughly understood before a design can begin. Research on various forms of architecture are also necessary. ...
"Pastured poultry" field pens Poultry housing design will depend on the type of production system used. For example, ATTRA's Sustainable Chicken Production describes the "pastured poultry " system developed by Joel Salatin (1). In this system, birds are housed in a field pen that is moved daily to...
