Dans la dernière décennie, l'industrie du ciment a réalisé d'importants progrès vers une réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Une de ces innovations tient de l'utilisation de sous-produits industriels (communément appelés [...] matériaux cimentaires supplémentaires) dans la fabrication du ciment. Le béton qui en résulte est connu sous le nom de béton ternaire ou béton à contenu recyclé. 5, record 1, French, - ajout%20cimentaire

A pocket connection is typically used when the wall below (i.e., foundation wall) continues to the story above the floor level without a change in wall thickness. The pocket connection consists of a void or "pocket" created in the wall by changing block placement or cutting into the block units after the walk is erected. The bearing surface on which the joists (or girders) bear typically is grouted solid creating a horizontal reinforced bond beam that ties together the walls in the story below. Light-frame builders may not be familiar with ledger and pocket connections. Such connections typically do not find much use in light-frame construction. However, ledger and pocket connections are not new to the building industry. For example, wood floor-to-masonry ledger and pocket connections were used in the United States during the 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s in residential masonry homes and continue to perform satisfactorily. 6, record 9, English, - blockout
