	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Axiom of constructibility
		It asserts that V equals L where V is the universe of sets and L is the constructible universe.
		The constructible sets are all those formed by certain simple operations on pre-existing sets together with an operation of collecting together all sets formed thus far.
		The axiom of constructibility implies the generalized continuum hypothesis and also the axiom of choice.

	Axiom of constructibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The axiom of constructibility or V=L is a possible axiom for set theory in mathematics.
		For example, the axiom of constructibility implies the generalized continuum hypothesis (and also the axiom of choice), the negation of Suslin's hypothesis, and the existence of a simple (Δ
		Among set theorists of a realist bent, who believe that the axiom of constructibility is either true or false, most believe that it is false.

	Constructibility Manual
		The basis of this concept is that experienced construction personnel need to be involved with the project from the earliest stages to ensure that the construction focus and their experience can properly influence the owners, planners, and designer, as well as material suppliers.
		Constructibility is most beneficial when performed, prior to establishment of a defined scope, during early scoping and design phases.
		Constructibility issues concerning scope and design should be recognized and addressed up front, so that a quality set of plans and specifications are produced. The early active involvement of the Region Construction Representatives will also provide them insight into the design intent.

		These are examples of constructibility issues, and addressing them well before the start of construction can save millions of dollars and countless hours of construction delays.
		The construction industry has a process for identifying and mitigating constructibility issues during the planning and design of a project—applying that 20/20 hindsight.
		Construction experts were included in the design team from the beginning of planning through the completion of design.

	PB Network \| Issue 34 \| Tower Torsion and Constructibility
		There were concerns that the asymmetry of the transverse cross-section of the bridge could cause excessive torsion in the towers and that torsional rotation in the towers might create difficulties during construction.
		In addition, we had to examine whether the cantilever portion of the main span deck should be erected concurrently with or subsequent to the erection of the mainline.
		We concluded that concurrent construction of the cantilevered ramp would be the preferred method of the two, although construction could be done either way.

		Constructibility can be defined as the optimum use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, design, procurement, and field operations to achieve overall project objectives.
		Constructibility reviews have the potential to minimize the number and magnitude of changes, disputes, cost overruns, and delays during construction.
		Texas AandM Research Foundation has formalized the methodology for making constructibility practices an integral part of the project development process, thereby ensuring that resources will be available, the right expertise is involved, reviews will be performed in a timely manner, and constructibility knowledge and experience will be captured properly for easy retrieval later.

	How many real numbers are there?
		Rather, I felt that the meta-message in Cohen's result (and a lot of similar results that came in its wake) was that the axioms of set theory should be chosen on pragmatic grounds.
		If the Axiom of Constructibility was assumed (as an additional axiom, on top of the Zermelo-Fraenkel system), then you could prove that the Continuum Hypothesis is true.
		If you view set theory as an axiomatic framework for constructing sets, and take a conservative approach of constructing only the sets that the rest of mathematics absolutely must have, you end up with the Axiom of Constructibility, and then the Continuum Hypothesis is true.

	Constructibility Review
		However, it is through the multidisciplinary constructibility review that the owner tests his approach and verifies that the potential for errors, change orders and claims has been clearly identified and resolved.
		A constructibility analysis is performed from the construction standpoint, not the design standpoint.
		The constructibility review is the single best assurance that a highly competitive bidding process will occur.

	Architectural Detailing: Function, Constructibility, Aesthetics by Wiley
		As much as I like the author's "Building Construction", this book is not recommended.
		It is based on the premise that many construction details share common principles: shed water by using sloping surfaces, for instance.
		After a few such groupings are described, it turns into a tips and tricks collection, e.g., do rough work before finish work.

		Mineral filler plays an important role in the construction and performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements.
		Very little attention was given to the study of mineral filler (often referred to as the minus 200 fraction) during the Strategic Highway Research Program, although the Superpave mix design method includes a recommendation on the dust-to-binder ratio.
		In certain cases, constructibility and performance can be enhanced with the use of additional filler as long as the filler is properly specified.

		By using constructibility reviews at key points in the design process, it is usually possible to eliminate a high majority of these mistakes prior to bid before the 1-10-100-1000 Effect comes into play.
		The 50% construction document stage and after the submittal of the 100% construction documents to the jurisdictional review agency are good milestone dates to conduct reviews.
		A detailed scope of work for the constructibility should be prepared that defines areas to be reviewed in the documents and assigns multi-disciplinary team members to be responsible for their completion.

	Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems - Innovative Projects to Make Bridge Designs More Constructible
		Advantages: Constructibility: A primary source of water for Waco and an important flood control resource for the area, Lake Belton's water level is highly variable, as much as 48 ft, reaching as high as the bottom of the bridge's beams on occasion.
		In 2000, construction began on a pair of conventional prestressed concrete I beam bridges with lengths of 10,280 and 4,360 feet.
		After the project was let for construction, the contractor asked to precast the substructure bent caps as an alternative to the original design of cast-in-place multi-column bents to reduce the amount of time the workers would need to operate near power lines.

	Preconstruction planning helps schools universities complete expansion renovation construction more efficiently (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Any education construction project needs specialized planning professionals to ensure that the project meets the school's program needs, stays on schedule and within budget, and causes minimal disruption to ongoing campus activities.
		When schools and universities are undertaking a renovation or expansion, the normal challenges involved in design and construction are heightened by the risks associated with existing building conditions, the logistics of construction in a tight space and, often, continued occupation of the building.
		An effective construction strategy involves many elements, including construction phasing, relocation and protection of occupants, careful sequencing and coordination of trades, maintenance of access and egress, effective construction staging, weather protection, and efficient routing of equipment, materials and tradespeople.
