Solai - solai di legno
Edilizia · 31. luglio 2024
Il solaio è una struttura orizzontale posta in corrispondenza di ciascun piano di un edificio, con il compito di sostenere, oltre al proprio peso, quello del pavimento, delle pareti interne e dei carichi di servizio.

The arch in construction - what it is, shapes and construction of the arch and the platband
Edilizia · 27. giugno 2024
The arch is made up of many ashlars, each of which is subject to compression, which are supported by mutual contrast thanks to the piers at either end that form the vertical elements of the arch (for more information go here). The main elements of an arch are:

Vaults - what they are, types of vaults and their construction
Edilizia · 26. giugno 2024
The vault, conceptually, is a combination of many arches together to the point of fully covering an entire room. A big disadvantage is the requirement to start the walls from their impost plans.

Hydraulic and hydrogeological invariance - rainwater collection
Edilizia · 26. giugno 2024
Hydraulic and hydrogeological invariance is a very important building subject, especially nowadays. In fact, it mainly deals with the analysis and solution of any problems arising from the paving and waterproofing of portions of land which will therefore no longer absorb rainwater, but will instead be discharged into areas of land which were not intended for absorption, with possible landslides.

Invarianza idraulica e idrogeologica - raccolta delle acque piovane
Edilizia · 26. giugno 2024
L'invarianza idraulica e idrogeologica è una materia dell'edilizia molto importante, soprattutto ai nostri giorni. Infatti, tratta principalmente l'analisi e la soluzione di eventuali problemi derivanti dalla pavimentazione e impermeabilizzazione di porzioni di terreno che quindi non assorbiranno più le acque meteoriche

"Rising damp" what it is, what causes it, what damage it causes, how to recognize it and how to eliminate or prevent it
Edilizia · 26. giugno 2024
Let's start by saying that rising damp is only one of the many causes of humidity. First of all, therefore, it is necessary to list the types of causes of humidity that can be encountered:

Load-bearing brick walls and load-bearing concrete walls - What are they
Edilizia · 24. giugno 2024
The standards define load-bearing masonry as an assembly of resistant elements, artificial or natural, equipped with holes in a direction perpendicular to the laying surface (with vertical drilling), arranged regularly and connected with mortar. The masonry is generally completed by horizontal elements of reinforced concrete (kerbs), which provide the connection between the elements in elevation and the support of the floors.

Painting or spray painting - Advantages and disadvantages
Edilizia · 23. giugno 2024
Spray painting has many advantages, but it also has limitations. With spray painting there are no particular limitations on the types of environments and paints, however it is necessary to make sure that the product we intend to use can be used with this methodology. In fact, since the paint must be sprayed, it is necessary to have a fairly diluted and fluid compound, consequently not all products are suitable for this technique

Concrete casting carried out at low temperatures
Edilizia · 22. giugno 2024
A drop in temperature below the normal temperature during concrete casting can cause significant inconveniences. Mainly the slowdown in the maturation of concrete. In fact, in the case of temperatures of 5°C the resistance of the concrete after 3 days is barely half that of that with a temperature of 20°C. At the end of the 28 days the resistance obtained will be no more than 80% of that in the case of a normal situation.

Galvanic currents and stray currents - what they are and how to prevent
Edilizia · 17. giugno 2024
Let us start by explaining that galvanic currents and stray currents are two different types of manifestations. To understand what a galvanic current is, and consequently galvanic corrosion, we need to introduce some simple physics concepts that play a key role in this context...
