Harmful chemicals found in sealants commonly used for construction and remodeling

Most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about sealants, but they are used in every home, school, and workplace. And while you may not have noticed them in your day-to-day life, they can negatively impact indoor air quality and human health.  Sealants are used in building construction to close gaps and regulate airflow, […]

A numerical analysis of inclination and rectification of ramp-bridge piers adjacent to surcharge load in soft clay area

Bridge inclination by the surcharge load and rectification by the unloading In the calculation, the inclination of the super and lower structures of the bridge under the action of the surcharge load was first analyzed to evaluate whether the pile foundation in the underground soil was damaged, and which was used to provide a reference […]
