Therefore, this study adopted the mean method, the linear regression method, and the back-propagation neural network (BPN) method to analyze the grout-curtain construction data of the Li-Yu-Tan dam, Taiwan, in order to estimate the cement take needed.
The data from the first half of the grout-curtain construction were used to derive the parameters of the predictive schemes, and then the second half of the grout-curtain construction's data were used to test the accuracy of those schemes.
Eiffel's design made the statue one of the earliest examples of curtain wall construction, in which the exterior of the structure is not load bearing, but is instead supported by an interior framework.
"Her basic curtain wall construction is to die for".
What we see on approaching the Rose Center may well be the finest example of glass curtain wall construction ever realized in the United States.
Eighteen years after the fall of the iron curtain, the construction of road and rail networks is still lagging behind the expansion of business in central and eastern Europe.
For The Times project, Piano will employ new techniques in structural engineering, vertical circulation and curtain wall construction, in association with Fox & Fowle, the architects of the Conde Nast and Reuters buildings in Times Square.
That was arguably the first curtain-wall construction on a metal frame.
His Lever House, showing the influence of Mies van der Rohe, applied the concept of curtain-wall construction and open-site planning to the tall office building.
R.M.I. contributed to the design of 4 Times Square, which has many innovative features, among them collection chutes for recyclable materials, photovoltaic panels incorporated into parts of its skin, and curtain-wall construction with exceptional shading and insulating properties.
Probably of equal importance in curtain-wall construction was the development of cold-setting rubbers during World War II; these form the elastic sealants that successfully seal the joints between glass and metal and between metal and metal against wind and rain.
