As a construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened, can become a structural ( load bearing ) element.

Urbanization has major effects on erosion processes — first by denuding the land of vegetative cover, altering drainage patterns, and compacting the soil during construction ; and next by covering the land in an impermeable layer of asphalt or concrete that increases the amount of surface runoff and increases surface wind speeds.

Noteworthy technical achievements of Mountbatten and his staff include the construction of an underwater oil pipeline from the English coast to Normandy, an artificial harbour constructed of concrete caissons and sunken ships, and the development of amphibious tank-landing ships.

Increasingly popular alternative construction materials include insulating concrete forms ( foam forms filled with concrete ), structural insulated panels ( foam panels faced with oriented strand board or fiber cement ), and light-gauge steel framing and heavy-gauge steel framing.

* Save for concrete, masonry construction does not lend itself well to mechanization, and requires more skilled labor than stick-framing.

Unfortunately for the kingfisher, a U. N. plan to protect the mangroves as a biological reserve was blatantly ignored by the emirate of Sharjah, which allowed the dredging of a channel that bisects the wetland and construction of an adjacent concrete walkway.

Some early skyscrapers have a steel frame that enables the construction of load-bearing walls taller than of those made of reinforced concrete.

* The concrete details of a given construction may be messy, but if the construction satisfies a universal property, one can forget all those details: all there is to know about the construct is already contained in the universal property.

A number of security measures were added to the exterior of New Scotland Yard during the 2000s, including concrete barriers in front of ground-level windows as a countermeasure against car bombing, a concrete wall around the entrance to the building, and a covered walkway from the street to the entrance into the building.

who, along with Ms. Vance, wanted to create “ a building that sings from any viewpoint .” The theatre building has no right angles but does have wide bands and terraces and is “ reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright ’ s buildings .” Franzen selected the concrete exterior because he was inspired by Houston ’ s location and the warm weather of the Southwest.

In modern highrise buildings, the exterior walls are often suspended from the concrete floor slabs.

Blocks were joined to the concrete cantilever beams and floor joists, high-strength steel cables were fed through the blocks and exterior concrete walls, and then the cables were tightened using jacks.

Rudolph made both the exterior and interior of each building of rough concrete ( béton brut ), an essential element of the style known as Brutalism, and he endowed buildings with large windows, with the intended effect of giving those inside the feeling of being connected to the outdoors.
