Abstract:Precast concrete (PC) elements are used throughout construction, including transportation. PC is one of the most efficient, versatile, and reliable construction materials manufactured today. The fabrication of PC products offers an ideal controlled environment to manufacture consistently defect-free products. This strategy also helps to eliminate weather delays, lost productivity claims, and other disruptions. Transportation developers, owners, and general contractors demand complete and accurate project documentation, proof of progress, and quality throughout the lifecycle. Quality control (QC) must be integrated into the PC fabrication process to ensure efficiency and a high-quality product that is mistake free at the construction site.
The total size of the zip file is 2.5 MB. The .xlsx and .xls file types are Microsoft Excel files, which can be opened with Excel, and other free available spreadsheet software, such as OpenRefine. The .csv, Comma Separated Value, file is a simple format that is designed for a database table and supported by many applications. The .csv file is often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, due to its open format. The most common software used to open .csv files are Microsoft Excel and RecordEditor, (for more information on .csv files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/csv-file-extension). The file extension .md is among others related to texts and source codes in Markdown markup language. Markdown is a lightweight markup language, to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML) (for more information on .md files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/md-file-extension). File extension .json is associated to JavaScript Object Notation file format, a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format. JSON defines a small set of formatting rules for the portable representation of structured data. It is used by various applications as alternative option to XML file format. The data in a json file are stored in simple text file format and the content is viewable in any simple text editor (for more information on .json files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/json-file-extension). The file extension .png is commonly used for images in Portable Network Graphics file format. PNG is a bitmap graphics format similar to GIF, that uses image compression mainly for web purposes (for more information on .png files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/png-file-extension). The .html file extension is mainly related to the Hypertext Markup Language that provides means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It is the main language for writing web pages. HTML formats texts, tables, images, and other content that will be displayed on the page that can be viewed using any web browser (for more information on .html files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/html-file-extension).
