What is Wave-dissipating concrete block?

A thrust block, also known as a thrust box, is a specialised form of thrust bearing used in ships, to resist the thrust of the propeller shaft and transmit it...

This page is a glossary of Prestressed concrete terms.

Arching or compressive membrane action in reinforced concrete slabs occurs as a result of the great difference between the tensile and compressive strength of concrete. Cracking of the concrete causes...

A block cellular automaton or partitioning cellular automaton is a special kind of cellular automaton in which the lattice of cells is divided into non-overlapping blocks and the transition rule...

A unit block is a type of standardized wooden toy block for children. Known also as standard unit blocks or kindergarten blocks, these building blocks are common in preschools and...

On the Internet, a block or ban is a technical measure intended to restrict access to information or resources. Blocking and its inverse, unblocking, may be implemented by the owners...

This information sets out some of the basic considerations taken into account by the lifting design engineer.

In two-dimensional conformal field theory, Virasoro conformal blocks are special functions that serve as building blocks of correlation functions. On a given punctured Riemann surface, Virasoro conformal blocks form a...

DC blocks are coaxial components that prevent the flow of audio and direct current frequencies while offering minimum interference to RF signals. There are three basic forms of DC blocks....
