2. Concrete leveling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_leveling

   Once the void under the slab is filled, the pressure builds under the slab, lifting the concrete back into place. Once in place, the holes are filled with a color-matching grout. Benefits of mudjacking: Low-pressure lifting of slab; Finely controlled lifting of the slab; Possible to achieve higher compressive strength than foam leveling; Budget ...

3. Lift slab construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

   Lift slab construction. Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground ...

4. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Building insulation material. A building site for a row of riverside apartment blocks in Cambridge. The buildings are being constructed using a systems build with a steel frame and various prefabricated components. The blue plastic on the central building is the vapour barrier for the thermal wall insulation before the exterior cladding has ...

5. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Spray foam. Spray foam insulation extruding from a duct. Spray foam (expanding foam in the UK) is a chemical product created by two materials, isocyanate and polyol resin, which react when mixed with each other and expand up to 30-60 times its liquid volume after it is sprayed in place.

6. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

   Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete usually made with a rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior substrate for walls, floors, and roofs. The forms are interlocking modular units that are dry-stacked (without mortar) and filled with ...

7. Foam concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_concrete

   Foam concrete is a versatile building material with a simple production method that is relatively inexpensive compared to autoclave aerated concrete. [1] Foam concrete compounds utilising fly ash in the slurry mix is cheaper still, and has less environmental impact. Foam concrete is produced in a variety of densities from 200 kg/m 3 to 1,600 kg ...
