Before you read any further, it's important to know that not all existing concrete floors can be resurfaced. The underlying base for an overlay must be sound. If your concrete has severe cracks or other damage, resurfacing will not solve your problems and total replacement will be your best option. A

The issue of Cracking in building is turning into a troublesome bewilder for engineers these days. Breaking is an unavoidable reaction of any structure while creators are attempting to dispense with a considerable lot of the reasons for splitting and outline resistance for different components. We as a whole need

Digital disruption is increasing rapidly in most industries. Companies like Uber, Door Dash, and Yelp have arisen not just because their industries were ripe for change, but because the major incumbents in those industries—taxi companies, for example—were too slow to embrace it. The construction sector on the other hand — despite

Before construction projects can begin, one of the first steps that is necessary is to set up on-site facilities for the crew to use. Smaller construction projects may only need facilities for storing tools and materials. For larger projects, facility needs may include fabrication shops, warehouses, on-site offices, and more. Many

Seismic isolation is actually a design strategy largely applied all over the world either for designing new buildings or for retrofitting existing ones. Essentially, it consists in decoupling the superstructure motion from the ground one by installing seismic devices having a low horizontal stiffness. The result of lengthening the superstructures
