Charpy Impact Test
CE Web
The test was developed in 1905 by the French scientist Georges Charpy. It was pivotal in understanding the fracture problems of ships during the Second World War. Today it is used in many industries for testing building and construction materials used in the construction of pressure vessels, bridges and to see how storms will affect materials used in building.

Foundation Requirements, which must be established by the engineer, will vary with site conditions, height of gabion structure, etc. Generally, the top layer of soil is stripped until a layer of the required bearing soil strength is reached. In some cases, the foundation may consist of suitable fill material compacted to a minimum of 95… »
Retaining Walls & StructuresFriday, October 8th, 2010
A retaining wall is a structure which holds back material on one side. These are particularly useful where there is a change in level within a restricted area and insufficient space for banks of appropriate slope. They can also be used to good effect where ground conditions are such that a ...
