Wheel tractor-scraper !!! In civil engineering, a wheel tractor-scraper is a piece of heavy equipment used for earthmoving. Types of Scraper Single engine open bowl (standard tractor arrangement-usually needs a bulldozer to assist in loading) Single engine elevating scraper (using elevator to load material and needs no push tractor) Twin engine open bowl (the two engines means usually no push tractor is required) Twin engine push-pull (uses all 4 engines by hooking both scrapers together while loading) Twin engine auger scraper (uses giant auger mounted vertically in bowl to pull material upwards) Pull type scraper (uses agricultural tractor, articulated dump truck, or bulldozer to pull)
Korean architects AND imagined this hotel on Geoje Island as a hand of outstretched fingers, with rooms and balconies pointing out in different direction.Containing just five suites and a cafe, the small concrete hotel sits beside the seafront in the small fishing village and was designed to give each guest a different view of the surrounding archipelago.The entire structure appears as a solid mass of concrete, including the balconies. Windows sit in deep recesses, revealing the thickness of the walls."The monolithic quality of concrete reflects the architectural concept well," said Lee. "Also, the pattern left on the surface after taking off the formwork gives the building an organic quality."
