A fresh set every day. Short, practical, and written the way it actually matters on site.
Setting Out
Transferring the drawing's geometry onto the ground.
On siteErrors here are the most expensive on any project, because everything built afterwards inherits them.
Shrinkage
Volume reduction as concrete loses moisture over time.
On siteRestrained shrinkage cracks. This is why slabs get control joints rather than being poured monolithic.
Formwork Release Agent
A coating letting shuttering strip cleanly off hardened concrete.
On siteToo much migrates into the surface and ruins the bond for plaster or paint.
Expansion Joint
A deliberate gap letting a structure move with temperature.
On siteWithout it long buildings crack at their weakest point instead of at a planned line.
Moment of Inertia
A section's geometric resistance to bending.
On siteIt scales with depth cubed, which is why a beam laid on edge is dramatically stiffer than the same one laid flat.
