Shear Wall

A shear wall is a general term for a wall that is designed and constructed to resist racking from forces such as wind using masonry, concrete, cold-formed steel, or wood framing. Shear walls significantly reduce the sway of a structure to reduce damage to the structure and its contents. 

Shoring

Shoring is the process of building a temporary framework to support unstable elements. Laterally, these support the walls. Shoring can be utilizedA when a wall protrudes, when a wall cracks due to uneven foundation settling, when the excavation pit is dug and the side surfaces need to be held in place. 

Skirting

Skirting is a board that forms the boundary between the inside wall and the floor. A skirting board's primary purpose is to safeguard walls from damage. Skirting boards prevent plaster from being damaged.

Staking Out - Total Station Method

Stanchion

Stanchions are vertical steel columns that are used to support a structure. This suggests they are part of a bigger system and are not used in isolation.

Starter Bars

Starter bars are used to connect two parts in a structurally sound manner that preserves lateral strength where a concrete or masonry wall or slab needs to be linked to another element. Starter bars are single steel rebar struts that are extended from the footings, slabs, or walls to create an overlap in reinforcement while building a joining wall or slab. 

Stirrups

In reinforced concrete columns, stirrups are used to resist torsion and shear stresses. They serve to secure the top and bottom reinforcement of beams.

Step-Down Transformer

A step-down transformer is an electrical device that reduces the voltage of an alternating current (AC) power supply and distributes it among the premises as required.  

Step-Up Transformer

A step-up transformer is a type of transformer that converts the low voltage (LV) and high current from the primary side of the transformer to the high voltage (HV) and low current value on the secondary side of the transformer.

Universal Transverse Mercator / UTM System

UTM is the acronym for Universal Transverse Mercator, a plane coordinate grid system named for the map projection on which it is based (Transverse Mercator). The UTM system consists of 60 zones, each 6-degrees of longitude in width.  

Waffle Slab

Waffle slab or ribbed slab is a structural component which is plain on its top and contains grid like system on its bottom surface. The top of ribbed slab is normally thin and the bottom grid lines are generally ribs which are laid perpendicular to each other with equal depth. Waffle slab has two directional reinforcement. All the ribs are directed from column heads or beams. The depth of ribs maintained is as same as depth of column head or beam. Because of the ribs and double reinforcement, it is more stable and recommended for larger span slabs or foundations.

Waist Slab

Waist slab refers to a slab of the stair that is slanting from the floor slab to the landing slab.
