Post-Tensioned Concrete Shear Wall, Purdue Ect Team
Post-Tensioned Concrete Shear Wall, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
The post-tension concrete shear wall by Tipping Mar will replace the conventional concrete shear wall in earthquake prone areas in many instances, depending on the height and scale of the building.
Rapid Drying Concrete, Purdue Ect Team
Rapid Drying Concrete, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
One of the essential problems that are faced during construction is the drying of concrete and the presence of moisture which affects floor coverings that need to be placed. The rapid-drying characteristic in Aridusâ concrete allows for the quick reduction of moisture vapor that travels through the concrete pores of the concrete.
Ap Alternatives Modular Solar Racking, Purdue Ect Team
Ap Alternatives Modular Solar Racking, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
Solar panels have been used to generate and supply electricity in various applications such as residential and commercial buildings. Therefore, a need for a quicker approach to installation as well as the need to reduce workmanship to speed up the process is needed. Solar racks are developed through the use of automated equipment to “preassemble the racking hardware, pre-install the solar modules, and drive helical anchors into the ground rapidly”. So instead of installing one panel at a time, AP Alternatives has created a new method that uses machines to make the process easier. This new automation of the installation …
Prefabricated Building, Purdue Ect Team
Prefabricated Building, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
With the continuous demand for construction of new buildings, an easier, more sustainable, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building method is necessary to save time, energy and cost. Hence, there has been an increasing need for a system such as BROAD sustainable building (BSB). A form of prefabricated building by BROAD Sustainable Building Co., LTD (BSB). It consists of flooring and ceiling, embedded shafts of ventilation, water supply & drainage, electricity and lighting. Other items include pillars, diagonal bracings, doors, windows, walls and sanitary wares, air conditioning, air quality products, lifts, building thermal insulations.
Vertical Icf Wall System, Purdue Ect Team
Vertical Icf Wall System, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
Traditional ICF systems’ installation is tedious and labor intensive resulting in out of level, bowing, and snaking walls with a significant amount of bracing adding to the cost. ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) walls are a form of structural walls used for construction. Hobbs Vertical ICF system uses less concrete, more recycled material and requires less labor for construction. The furring assemblies and retainer clips of the Hobbs VICF system are made from 100% recycled post-industrial waste.
3d Printing For Bricks, Purdue Ect Team
3d Printing For Bricks, Purdue Ect Team
ECT Fact Sheets
Building Bytes, by Brian Peters, is a project that uses desktop 3D printers to print bricks for architecture. Instead of using an expensive custom-made printer, it uses a normal standard 3D printer which is available for everyone and makes it more accessible and also easier for fabrication.

Roundabout Maintenance Flipbook, Indiana Ltap
Roundabout Maintenance Flipbook, Indiana Ltap
Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications
This flipbook is a summary of the work published in the Roundabout Maintenance Manual by Indiana LTAP. This information was collected through a series of interviews with city engineers, public works directors, and street commissioners experienced in roundabout maintenance. It serves as a model to guide work crews in correct maintenance procedures.
Roundabout Maintenance Manual, Indiana Ltap
Roundabout Maintenance Manual, Indiana Ltap
Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications
This maintenance manual serves as an additional resource for communities who have implemented roundabouts or are considering them. There are a few other published guides, such as the NCHRP Report 672, Roundabouts: An Informational Guide, and the Wisconsin DOT Facilities Development Manual. However, the information covered in these guides is very broad. This manual provides specific information regarding roundabout maintenance.

Eco-Design Integration Into New Product Development Processes: Comparison Between Lca Software And Cad-Integrated Tools, Maria I. Hernandez Dalmau
Eco-Design Integration Into New Product Development Processes: Comparison Between Lca Software And Cad-Integrated Tools, Maria I. Hernandez Dalmau
Purdue Polytechnic Masters Theses
The constant growth of environmental concerns and in order to satisfy the increasing population demands, designers have started to integrate eco-design parameters in early design stages. The technological development that happened in the last decade has started to integrate LCA methods within CAD tools, allowing non-geometric data to be integrated in a typical geometrical model. The main research interest of this thesis is focused on the evaluation of the use of these emerging CAD tools, as tools capable to evaluate the futures environmental impacts of products and processes. This thesis studies through three comparative case studies if SolidWorks Sustainability as …
