User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Construction bedding serves a crucial purpose in construction by providing a stable foundation for structures. It helps distribute the load of the building evenly, preventing settling or uneven settling of the structure over time. This layer typically consists of materials like gravel or crushed stone, aiding in drainage and minimizing the risk of soil erosion.

Can a convicted felon get a job in construction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The code of ethics for social workers requires that a worker have not engaged in unlawful or criminal acts, therefore all social workers are required to undergo a back ground check for felony convictions. So the answer would that I was told by the state of NY is no, unless the governor pardons a person. Sorry we will have to find another field, I chose certification mechanical it was one of the few fields that allow felons to work in. I am not sure as for the state of New York, but I know in the state of Ohio a convicted felon can become a social worker or counselor. I am currently working towards my masters in mental health counseling, and I will begin working with the advocacy office soon, because there will be some bumps to overcome to get there. However, I know at least two people whom did not get granted their pardons, and they were working social workers and a counselor. There are certain supervisions which apply, unfournately not being able to work with juveniles I am pretty sure is one, but it is possible as long as they can show new good character, and explain the cause of their lapse in judgement. But I am sure it takes a great deal of work and stress to get there!

What is the use of cantilevers in construction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

: I would consider the most common use for cantilever beams to be in building construction.....and probably the most obvious example is in mediaeval buildings with a framework of oak beams . Everyone must have seen these old buildings where the upper stories are wider than the ground floor , very common in Europe . The ceiling beams for the ground floor (also the floor beams for the upstairs rooms)are arranged to project out through the walls by 10-18 inches (30-45cm) , and the wall structure for the upper stories is built apon the projecting ends . This allows a larger open space to be achieved in the ground floor rooms without annoying support pillars because the weight is partly offset by the weight of the upper stories acting as a counter balance . This technique has been described as a way to avoid the tax on the building 'footprint', but this is not true in all countries where it was adopted , the tax merely prompted a wider acceptance of the technique . The same building tricks are used on modern buildings and bridges , but are not always obvious or visible when the structure is completed .

Why is 110v used on a construction site?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For personal safety reasons. In the UK the line voltage is 230 volts and this voltage can be lethal in a wet construction site. The step down transformer used has a centre tapped secondary winding of 55v+ 55v make 110 volts.The centre tap is earthed to the power tool etc, thus making the maximum potential for electric shock at 55 volts:-sub lethal. <><><> Supplies of 110 volts are recommended for use on construction sites for personal safety reasons, on the basis that, if any wiring or equipment casings become "hot" or "live", the danger of electrocution is greatly reduced compared to the certain dangers that would exist if supplies at higher voltages, such as 230 volts ac, were used. In countries running a 50 Hz power supply service, 230 volts ac is the common voltage supplied for use for normal lighting, appliances and small electrical tools and equipment - except on construction sites, where the use of equipment running on 110 volts is now mandatory to meet the requirements of Health & Safety laws.
