How to Store Different Kinds of Formwork?
When you want to create a construction project, you want to 100% ensure that everything works as expected. But many times, you need to think about all the things that are included in that project, and you have to adapt them in a way you can, so you can reach the best results. That’s why you may want to opt for a much better way to store your formwork. Storing concrete forms can be quite the challenge for a lot of people, yet when it comes to plastic formwork, the experience is not so hard to deal with.

Features of Plastic Formwork and Plywood Formwork
The most common concrete formwork on construction site used to be plywood formwork, although some big projects such as bridges and dams may use steel formwork, as steel formwork is more strong than plywood, in business and residential building market, plywood occupy most of the shares.

Why Steel Is the Most Recycled Material?
Steel is the most recycled materials on the planet. More of it is recycled every year than all other materials in the world combined, with more than 12 million tonnes being recycled in 2016 alone. Steel is one of the most reused materials in the world. Here we take a look at why steel is recycled.

How the Steel is Recycled?
The steel recycling process involves a few keys steps. This will vary between different locations, however, the general process will remain the same (it is very similar to the steel making process).

When Do Buildings Need Outdoor Fire Escapes?
Fire escapes stairs are relics of a bygone era. You will notice that you never see a new building with a fire escape stair. I'm not aware of any municipality that still allows for their construction of new buildings. Fire escape stairs were constructed to provide, as the name implies, egress in the case of a fire or other non-specific disaster. Because buildings are prohibitively expensive and have historical value, we allow older buildings with fire escapes to be "grandfathered in" despite the fact that the fire escapes do not meet current design codes. Similar exemptions are allowed for elevators, staircase dimensions, the presence of or lack of wheelchair-accessible ramps, etc.

What is the Procedure for Working with Sheet Metal?
Sheet metal is one of the most widely used materials in manufacturing and is formed by rolling metal into thin ‘sheets’ that are easy to process. Metal sheets are useful in metalworking as they can be cut, bent and shaped into many different forms that are essential for construction.

The Aesthetic Benefits of Structural Steel
Steel is beautiful stuff to build with. Watching a building come together, whether it’s a residential dwelling or a commercial structure, is thrilling, and while there are a plethora of elements that go into the process, structural steel plays a most important role in shaping aesthetics. There are many benefits of building a steel-framed house or commercial structure, but we want to take a moment to consider the aesthetic benefits of structural steel.

What is Ductility?
Ductility is a measure of a material’s ability to deform under tensile stress, and when it comes to steel it’s a big factor in its ability to perform in certain conditions. There are many products that due to the situations of their use, call for ductility in their design. Some common designs that require ductile metals include car bodies and cables. Car bodies need to bend and crumple on impact, similarly, cables must be able to stretch to perform their function. Without the flexibility given to them through ductility, these products would not be as effective.

Steel Structure: The Elements of a Steel Staircase
Steps are comprised of two sections, the tread, and the riser. The tread is the horizontal part of the step that the foot is placed on. The riser is the vertical portions between each treat. Often in steel staircases, the riser of left out, giving the flight an “open stair” look. Nosing is the part of the tread that sticks out past the riser.
