Scope and Content
This project series documents the Ontario Congress and Trade Centre in Toronto from 1978-1980. The office identified the project number as 7807.
This project consisted of the investigation of building a congress and trade centre on Front Street West. The project proposed a 519,500 square foot building with a 200,000 square foot exhibition hall that could be divided for smaller events. The building would also contain a multiuse hall, theatres, meeting rooms, offices, food and beverage facilities, and a 1300 car parking area. The project was proposed to cost around $73 million. The project is also referred to as the Toronto Convention Centre or Ontario Convention Centre. The majority of the textual documentation shows the controversial debate over whether the centre should be built, including numerous press clippings that highlight the issue. It should be noted that Congress Centre and Convention Centre are used interchangeably in the materials. Eventually, this project contract was given to another architectural firm and today is known as the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre.
The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1981. The drawings largely show designs for the proposed building and site plans. The textual records include correspondence, meeting minutes, interoffice memos, project proposals, feasibility reports, press clippings on the project and on other convention centres, research documentation on other convention centres, documentation on a proposed hotel to be built on the centre and promotional materials.

Workability is the power of a new (plastic) concrete combine to fill the form/mould properly with the specified work (vibration) and without lessening the concrete's quality. Workability is determined by water material, combination (shape and sizing distribution), cementitious articles and age (level of hydration) and can be modified by including chemical admixtures, like superplasticizer. Increasing the water content material or incorporating chemical admixtures improves concrete workability. Excessive water leads to amplified bleeding or segregation of aggregates (in the event the cement and aggregates begin to separate), with the ensuing concrete possessing diminished quality. The usage of an aggregate Mix with an unwanted gradation may end up in an extremely severe mix design with an incredibly very low slump, which are unable to readily be designed extra workable by addition of realistic amounts of water.
The main supplies of concrete are cement, great aggregates (sand), coarse aggregates and water. Quite a few times admixtures are Employed in concrete to improve its Attributes. For that reason, Attributes of those elements and their material have an effect on the workability of concrete.
The a lot less volume of voids would make the cement paste obtainable for aggregate surfaces to offer superior lubrication to the aggregates.
A concrete is said to get workable if it is definitely transported, put, compacted and finished without any segregation. Workability is really a residence of freshly mixed concrete, plus a concrete is a mixture of cement, mixture, water & admixture.
 While insulation decreases Electricity reduction through the building envelope, thermal mass uses walls to retail store and release energy. Modern concrete wall systems use each external insulation and thermal mass to create an Electrical power-effective building. Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) are hollow blocks or panels fabricated from possibly insulating foam or rastra which can be stacked to form The form in the walls of the building after which filled with reinforced concrete to build the framework.
Backsplashes are Solid and finished individually and deck mounted following the countertops are put in. Backsplashes are nominally find here 25mm thick and may be why not try here from 75mm superior to total height. Outlet openings are Forged in, not Slice on site.
Kitchen sinks are deep and have angles that could place large stresses on the concrete and possess substantial opportunity for cracking. Also, the size of kitchen sinks typically dictates an exceedingly thick concrete bottom that could be a challenge with typical plumbing and cabinetry.
The underside of your mildew would be the major with the countertop, so it’s crucial the concrete sets on the debris-free surface.
I'm really pleased with his work ethic!! He accomplished The task without any challenges from the promised time frame. I'd personally Certainly advise T. Little Construction when you need an trustworthy and professional Typical Contractor. Thanks!!!
Sand evenly, checking the smoothness with your hand. When finished, wipe the slab with a damp rag to remove any free grit and concrete dust.
I felt we worked nicely like a team – guiding me via Each individual stage on the process. Mr. King managed the usage of sub-contractors as needed to the work, and ensured their work was impeccably finished.
Concrete recycling is undoubtedly an more and more frequent method for disposing of concrete structures. Concrete debris was after routinely transported work concrete or abstract noun to landfills for disposal, but recycling is rising as a consequence of improved environmental recognition, governmental laws and economic Gains.
Polymer concretes are mixtures of aggregate and any of various polymers and may be reinforced. The cement is a lot more costly than lime-based cements, but polymer concretes nevertheless have pros, they have major tensile toughness even without reinforcement, and they're mainly impervious to water. They can be often useful for repair and construction of other programs including drains.
The correct treatment method with the surface of concrete, and for that reason its traits, is a crucial phase during the construction and renovation of architectural structures.


Out at our larger rice farm, once the pad was completed (November 2013), we let it sit. Normally, you don’t want to build on a newly dumped dirt pad unless it has time to settle. In
Thailand, that usually means at
least one full rainy
season and then some. When we were ready to move ahead, this past summer – only eight
months after the pad’s creation – it
was still somewhat soft. Our head monk Lungpaw
Boon Long suggested we sink column
footers from the top of the pad to the bottom and that’s what we did.
Lott and Naht dug vertical tunnels from the top of the pad to where the top of the rice field used to be, below; about six feet. Then, they wired-up rebar cages and sunk these into the holes. In the holes, they then dumped cement and gravel to create custom column footers nearly the depth of the pad.
Here’s some video I shot showing some of the fabrication of the rebar cages, their preparation for transport, concrete and gravel mixing at the construction site, placement of the cages in prior-dug vertical tunnels and late afternoon rain clouds moving in:
2014-08_cfooters from Malcolm Gault-Williams on Vimeo.
On top of the column footers, the cement posts that would end-up supporting the house above ground were placed (viewable at: http://vimeo.com/111314523). Again using rebar, Lott and Naht wrapped the posts to the column footers and cemented over the area to effectively bond the posts to the column footers.
But, I’m getting a little ahead of myself, here. Before the cement posts could be set ontop of the cement column footers, there had to be a ceremony…


- Connected & Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) could lower need for private vehicle-use, allowing cities to reclaim up to 80% of parking space and tackle the spiralling cost of congestion
- Size of reclaimed land equivalent to space needed for 180,000 new homes
- But CAV success dependent on effective integration with existing city networks – there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach
(26 September 2018) The push towards introducing driverless vehicles in the UK will have a significant impact on the shape of our cities, potentially freeing up over 6,300 hectares of land in London alone – enough space to build the equivalent of 180,000 much-needed new homes across the capital.
These figures are according to design and consultancy firm Arcadis, whose latest Citizens in Motion report explores the disruptive influence that Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) will have on cities and their inhabitants around the world. With Arcadis estimating that a CAV revolution could allow for the reclamation of up to 80% of space currently allocated to car parking in every city, there is a unique window of opportunity for local authorities and major developers to consider how their cities can best adapt now to exploit the potential benefits of driverless technology in the future.
In London, 54% of households currently have at least one private motor vehicle and, with Greater London’s population expected to grow by 0.7% every year to 2046, the strain on city infrastructure is only set to increase. As ride-sharing services continue to proliferate and customer engagement sees year-on-year growth, there is significant potential for automated technology to play a greater role in helping to move people around the city, take more vehicles off the road and free-up space for alternative uses.
Crucially however, the Arcadis report recognises that every city has its own dynamic and, to be successful, driverless vehicles will need to be integrated with and work alongside the existing network. In London, where the focus is on improving public transport and creating opportunities for new homes and jobs by encouraging more healthy travel options, like walking or cycling, this means early government engagement with the private sector will be essential if the benefits of CAV are to be realised and work in parallel with London’s wider mobility objectives.
The Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) has already provided over £250m in funding to make the UK a premier development location. Yet the fact that Transport for London is focusing heavily on ‘connected citizens’ rather than CAV illustrates the extent to which new and emergent technologies will need to be developed with a view first and foremost on customer needs, experience and value.
As Peter Hogg, UK Cities Director at Arcadis, said:
“London is grappling with congestion, overcrowded transport, poor air quality, and the need to improve the citizen experience. As we move towards mega city status by 2040, these mobility challenges are going to become increasingly prevalent. While the proliferation of driverless technology is inevitable, what isn’t yet clear is what shape it will take in London. We have the opportunity now to be on the front-foot; how London embraces CAV will be a key fork in the road that will either enhance or frustrate how well London performs economically. From building CAV into the city planning process, to incentivisation, regulation and licensing, true success will only come if we can recognise and respond proactively to CAV disruption in a way that works specifically for London and – most importantly – its citizens.”
Richard Dilks, Director, Transport Policy at London First added:
“For London to remain a leading world city it must not only invest in new railways and runways, but also stay at the cutting edge of new technologies such as connected and autonomous vehicles. CAV have the potential to keep people moving, ease congestion and free up parking spaces, but these benefits will only be realised if London government and businesses work together to integrate the city’s public transport network.”

 Based on Ordnance Survey estimates that 5% of land in UK cities is dedicated to parking. Arcadis assumes CAV Levels 4 and 5 – where vehicles communicate with each other and the environment around them without the need for a human intervention – would remove the need for parking and allow for the reclamation of 80% of this space. In London this would amount to 6,300 hectares, where average housing density is 30 dwellings per hectare.

The Center Street bridge in Clearfield was closed Tuesday after an irrigation malfunction and heavy rains washed away part of an embankment.
In a press release Tuesday afternoon, city officials said the road and the bridge themselves had not been damaged but were closed in case of further degradation.
The bridge is west of State Street.
Traffic was being detoured to 300 North and to 1700 South.
"We recognize the urgency of this situation, especially given the closure of SR-193 by the Utah Department of Transportation for construction," said Clearfield City assistant manager J.J. Allen.
Allen did not estimate the time the bridge would be reopened.


While performing the sidewalk repair and replacement in Queens, the contractors keep certain factors in mind. The work process and the outcome of the task largely depend upon these factors. The factors are mentioned below.
Geographical Location and Housing Structures of Queens
Being the largest borough in New York City, Queens is located at the western end of Long Island. It shares water borders with the boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island. The borough is famous for the diverse kinds of housing ranging from high-rise buildings in the west and central parts of Queens to the houses of low heights on the Eastern side of the borough. The geographical location is a significant factor for the case of sidewalk repair and replacements in Queens. The high-rise structures ask for a type of sidewalk structure while the sidewalks adjacent to the low-height houses are different.
The Weather and Climate of the Borough
When it comes to sidewalk repair and replacements, the weather is one of the most important factors. The climate in the Queens is humid subtropical. The Appalachian Mountains and Atlantic ocean are two of the main factors controlling the climate of the area. The precipitation exists throughout the year. The winter has near about 22 days. Snowfall also takes place sometimes during this time. The summer here is typically hot and humid. So, the best time to perform the tasks of the sidewalks is the summertime. The concrete easily gets dried up and the sidewalk structure becomes steady. So, thus, the climate in the borough affects the sidewalk tasks to a great extent.
The Availability of the Contractors
The sidewalk repair task in any place needs to know about the availability of the contractors. There must be some contractors providing round-the-clock services. It lets you get urgent assistance whenever required. The sidewalk violation is a serious issue that asks for immediate attention. Otherwise, a DOT violation notice will come in your way. So, it is always better to hire a contractor in Queens at the earliest. For these urgent assignments, the contractors providing prompt and efficient service must be available around the place. The low availability of efficient contractors leads to a delayed workflow.
For sidewalk repair Queens, delay in removing the sidewalk violations is not recommended. NYC government takes special care of the sidewalks as we all know. The sidewalks in Queens are under observation 24*7. If the government finds any unrepaired flaw, you will receive a DOT violation notice in no time. So, thus, the availability of professional contractors is necessary for a hassle-free sidewalk service across the borough. If enough number of professional sidewalk contractors are available, the property owners can easily find one and repair the sidewalk as soon as possible.
So, these are the essential factors involved in sidewalk repair and replacement services.
The Streets, Highways, and Sidewalks of the Queens
Three major east-west highways pass through the Queens. The Long Island Expressway runs from the Queens Midtown Tunnel to Nassau County. The Grand Central Parkway extends from the western terminus of Triborough Bridge to the Nassau border in the east. The Belt Parkway begins at the Gowanus Expressway in Brooklyn. On its eastern end at the Queens/Nassau border, it splits into the Southern State Parkway and the Cross Island Parkway. There are other west-east and north-south highways. The north-south highways include Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, Van Wyck Expressway, the Clearview Expressway, and the Cross Island Parkway. The west-east state highways include Northern Boulevard, Hillside Avenue, Hempstead Avenue, Braddock Avenue, and so on. The authorities supervise the highways carefully. If any damage or odd section is found, the professional contractors are hired immediately to repair that.
The regular streets in the borough are in semi-grid style. There is a numerical system of street names is found in the Manhattan and Bronx. The roadways going from north to south are mostly known as “streets” while the east-west roadways are called “avenues”. The cross-streets are also there. Both kinds of streets including residential and commercial are available across the borough. Various areas within Queens are connected with multiple bridges.
The Queens itself is connected with other neighboring areas by the bridges. For example, Queens is connected with the Bronx by the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge. There are other bridges as well e.g. Throgs Neck Bridge, Triborough Bridge, Hell Gate Bridge, etc. The borough is connected to Roosevelt Island with Roosevelt Island Bridge. All of these bridges and streets are significant parts of transportation in Queens. Therefore, governments pay much attention to maintaining these roadways and bridges. If problems like the chipped edges, the broken pathways, the cracks on the road are found, the contractors in Queens repair them at the earliest. It is essential to repair the damages as soon as possible. Otherwise, serious accidents may take place.
Years ago, there was an uproar that the streets in Queens are not in good condition as they should be. The potholes, cracks, broken road edges had become the common issues for the streets in Queens. The drivers faced immense trouble at that time. However, according to the officials, DOT had done its part for improving the street conditions. Many streets have been repaired. Professional sidewalk contractors are also hired to perform the necessary repair tasks. As per the DOT spokesperson, the road is mostly in good condition while some parts of it are damaged. Few parts can be considered as poor.
The Traffic Alerts during Repair Work
The NYC government is particular about sending traffic alerts detailing the road construction works and other essential events on road. This helps the people largely with the essential information about the condition of the road. Thus they get a clear idea about which path they have to choose while traveling. The government sends weekly traffic advisory and special traffic advisory. Sometimes, lane closings take place due to severe situations. The emergency street closures may take place due to poor weather conditions, security threats, and other unavoidable circumstances. For any kind of street closure updates, traffic alerts you can visit the official website of the NYC government where DOT updates all necessary information. The information includes emergency notices, regular alerts about the road conditions. The website provides up-to-the-minute information all the time.
Sidewalks in Queens and its Usage
Be it going to a casual walk or jogging in the early morning, sidewalks in Queens are of much use. People use it frequently. Sidewalks, however, plays a great role in our everyday life. The major sidewalks in the city connect the schools, colleges, homes. Thus, you can get easy access to all necessities through sidewalks. The sidewalks help in building up a well-connected infrastructure across the city. The benefits of sidewalks are innumerable. Though any kind of sidewalk is good enough, concrete sidewalks are the best to walk on. It is one of the most durable materials for sidewalk construction in Queens. It is an affordable material to build up a safe and convenient sidewalk in Queens.
The sidewalks are important for the busy, accident-prone roads in Queens. To manage the traffic rush, you must have sidewalks beside your roads. The pedestrians can walk over the sidewalks and avoid the traffics. It makes the roads safe and convenient for pedestrians. And when the people living in the city feel safe, the environment of the city becomes healthy. The sidewalks are also essential to keep the properties safe from any kind of damages from the running vehicles on the roads. Often, rush driving leads to damages on the walls of the properties if there is no barrier between the roads and the properties. Therefore, a well-maintained sidewalk is highly needed to avoid such hazards. The sidewalks distinguish the property areas from the roads. Thus, the risk of damage is reduced. If you have lawns and decorative grasslands around your property, sidewalks become more necessary. When you do not have a sidewalk, there are chances that the pedestrians may trip over your favorite plants. When the pedestrians have a sidewalk to walk on, your lawn is safe. Thus, sidewalks to a great extent, help to keep the landscapes around your property safe. The property and its adjacent areas will be intact with a sidewalk barrier between them and the road. So, these are the wide range of benefits that the sidewalks in Queens provide. Considering these beneficial factors, the authority has put much attention to the sidewalks and supervise them regularly. Therefore, the property owners having sidewalks beside the properties, always stay concerned about the sidewalk condition. The professional sidewalk contractors in Queens are hired by them. Efficient contractors provide the best solution for sidewalk damages. They can assist you whether your sidewalk needs a repair or a replacement. They also help you with the proper guidance about the sidewalk repair and replacement service in Queens. With their knowledge and expertise, they will tell you how to maintain sidewalks properly. Now let’s know about the procedures of the sidewalk repair in Queens.
The process of Sidewalk Repair in Queens
By Professional Contractors
The sidewalk repair process goes on following certain steps. Firstly, the property owners find the damage or else get the violation notice from the government. Then, they call the professional sidewalk contractors for a quote or a budget estimate for sidewalk repair service. The contractors visit the place and give an estimated budget. Also, they inspect the sidewalk in detail to find all of the damages. After that, the team of the sidewalk repair service arrives at the earliest and start the repair process. With a close observation to the minute detail, you can find the expert workers to focus on their works dedicatedly. If the workers are not efficient enough it is better not to hire them. Because the sidewalk repair needs professional attention. If the violation is not removed properly, you may have to hire again with extra cost.
Perks of Hiring a Professional Contractor

- Al Ghail Center Is Integral to Managing the Water Sector Under the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036
Engineer Yousif Ahmed Al Ali, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Water and Electricity Company (EtihadWE), inaugurated the Sharisha Main Substation in Ras Al Khaimah, emphasizing its significance as a pivotal project in enhancing the infrastructure of the electric power sector in the emirate. Prior to the official launch of the project, aligning with the company's strategic plans for establishing a sustainable system for water transportation and distribution in the northern and central regions, Engineer Yousif Ahmed Al Ali inspected the Al Ghail Water Storage, Pumping, and Distribution Center.
Al Ali stated that the Sharisha Main Substation operates at a voltage of 132/33/11 kV, with a capacity of 270 megavolt-amperes. It is one of the new power stations being implemented by the company in Ras Al Khaimah. He emphasized that the project, commenced at the end of the first quarter of 2021 with a total investment of AED 181 million, includes the cost of connecting the station to the Nakheel Power Station to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the distributed power.
The CEO of EtihadWE explained that the new station will serve the Al Sharisha area, as well as the adjacent industrial and commercial zones. It will alleviate the loads on existing stations, with Etihad Water and Electricity Company carefully considering the annual growth rate and increasing demand for electricity in the serviced areas. This approach involves expanding the network while adhering to a strategic focus on efficiency, environmental protection, and achieving the goals of climate neutrality, which are fundamental pillars of the UAE Energy Strategy 2050.
During his visit to the Al Ghail Water Storage Center in Ras Al Khaimah, prior to the official launch of the recently completed project, Al Ali highlighted that the center is part of an integrated system for managing the water sector under the umbrella of the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036. It falls within the company's projects to increase water storage capacity and distribution range in the regions it serves.
He further clarified that the project contributes to securing current and future water needs in both the northern and central regions, including the water requirements of wheat farms and cattle projects. This is achieved through a strategic connection with the Sharjah Electricity, Water, and Gas Authority (SEWGA) on one side and similar connections with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) in Masfout and Al Madam regions on the other side. These strategic connections involve coordination with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, aiming to ensure the sustainability and continuity of water access at the national level under both normal and emergency conditions.
Al Ali noted that the project includes water transmission lines of various diameters from the Al Khuraijah Storage Center towards the Al Ghail Storage Center, paving the way for water distribution through multiple routes in the central and northern regions. These regions include Dhaid, Maliha, Al Madam, Al Faw, Wushah, Suhaila, Zubeida, Hamda in Sharjah, Shawka, Kedra, Al Ghail, Adhen, Al Manaei, Wadi Al Qor, Al Huwailat, Isfini, Wadi Mamdouh in Ras Al Khaimah, and Al Manamah, Masfout, Al Naseem, and Muzeira in Ajman, as well as areas in Fujairah such as Al Haniya, Thoban, Siji, Murbad, and Masafi.
Al Ali pointed out that the project includes two water tanks with a total capacity of 20 million gallons, along with a pumping station equipped with multiple control, sterilization, and quality adjustment systems. He affirmed the company's continuous commitment to developing a water supply system that ensures appropriate storage and distribution capacities in various conditions, supporting a stable and sustainable national economy.

Concrete House Plans
Concrete house plans are home plans designed to be built of poured concrete or concrete block. Concrete house plans are also sometimes referred to as ICF houses or insulated concrete form houses. Concrete house plans are, other than their wall construction, normal house plans of many design styles and floor plan types. Concrete house plans, although more common in the sunbelt states are also quite common in northern climates. The high insulation value of ICF designed concrete house plans make them very attractive to many in northern areas. Although more common in one story home designs, concrete house plans are also available as two story home plans.


The base will house two SAR helicopters along with crews and support teams. It is due to become fully operational in April 2015, when Bristow takes over helicopter search and rescue services throughout the UK on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
The Humberside base is one of a number of facilities being developed by the operator with its infrastructure delivery partner Balfour Beatty at commercial airports around the UK.
Samantha Willenbacher, Bristow's SAR director, says the ceremony signifies considerable progress: “The base here at Humberside was the first of our new builds to get under way, so it is great to see it really taking shape and reaching this exciting stage in its construction.
“Balfour Beatty and the companies working with them are doing an excellent job for us here and at the other bases we are building, and I would like to thank the management of Humberside airport for their support and co-operation.”
With sustainability in mind, all enhanced bases will include technologies such as PV solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems. Six other SAR helicopter bases are being redeveloped, with construction already initiated at Inverness and Caernarfon. The programme will continue until early 2017.

Date of Defense 2011-11-02 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe research presented in this thesis focuses on analytical approximations for the time-variant first-passage failure probability (FPFP) of linear elastic models of structural systems subjected to stochastic excitations. The FPFP is defined as the probability that a response quantity of an engineering system subjected to a dynamic stochastic loading outcrosses a specified threshold within a given exposure time. The FPFP is an important and useful quantity for many structural engineering applications.
The classical first-passage reliability problem is studied for linear elastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multi-degrees-of-freedom (MDOF) systems subjected to stationary and nonstationary Gaussian excitations. The absolute and relative accuracy of several analytical approximations available in the literature (i.e., the Poisson’s (P), classical Vanmarcke’s (cVM), and modified Vanmarcke’s (mVM) approximations) are studied through an extensive parametric study for SDOF systems. In addition, a new analytical approximation for the FPFP of linear SDOF systems is developed. The new proposed approximation is verified by comparing its analytical estimates of the failure probability with the corresponding results obtained using existing analytical approximations and the importance sampling using elementary events (ISEE) method for a wide range of oscillator properties and different types of input excitations. It is found that the newly developed analytical approximation provides estimates of the time-variant FPFP of SDOF systems that are significantly more accurate than the estimates obtained using the P, cVM, and mVM approximations.
Real-valued and complex-valued modal analysis with modal truncation is used to study the time-variant FPFP of MDOF subjected to stationary and nonstationary stochastic excitations. The absolute and relative accuracy of the P, cVM, and mVM approximations as well as of the newly developed approximation are studied for a select number of case studies. It is found that the newly proposed analytical approximation cannot be directly extended to the computation of the FPFP of MDOF systems, while the mVM approximation appears to be more accurate than the other existing analytical approximations.

Today more than ever before, a contractor may be asked to help solve the problem of limiting the flow of water or other liquids from a dam, sanitary landfill, hazardous waste impoundment, industrial storage facility, or pumping plant. Even under this wide variety of circumstances cement-bentonite slurry walls have successfully performed as nonstructural underground barriers. A typical cement-bentonite (C-B) slurry mixture consists of about 18 percent portland cement, 6 percent bentonite, and 76 percent water.
During construction of the barrier wall a trench is excavated under a head of C-B slurry. The C-B slurry is prepared by combining cement with a hydrated bentonite-water mixture just before discharge of the C-B slurry into the trench. The C-B slurry coats the sides of the trench with a thin, slippery layer known as a filter cake. This minimizes the slurry seepage out of the trench and groundwater seepage into the trench. The filter cake also forms a plane against which the weight of the slurry can push along the trench sides. Lateral pressure against the filter cake holds the trench open. The C-B slurry also maintains sufficient density to ensure trench stability.
The C-B method has several advantages over the more common soil-bentonite (S-B) method: C-B is not dependent on the availability of quality soil for backfill; C-B is more suitable for trenching through areas prone to failure; C-B sets up to a stiff consistency; the C-B wall sequence is flexible, permitting construction in sections to meet site constraints; and the width of a C-B trench can be less than that required for the S-B method.

Aircraft. Japan (2): huge damage to Kansai airport
In addition to flooding, an oil tanker hit the ground connection bridge -2 VIDEO
One of the largest airports in Japan namely the "Kansai" in Osaka will be closed from today for a period not defined yet due to the damage caused by the most powerful typhoon in the last 25 years. The main damage to the "internal" infrastructures at the airport were caused by the water that completely flooded a runway and the parts below the sea level of the terminals, while to the "external" the typhoon "Jebi" probably caused the most serious damage: a drifting oil tanker -with 11 people on board- hit the bridge that connects the airport to the mainland.
On impact, part of the bridge collapsed and the structure was severely damaged as the road axis had moved; a major damage because without the viaduct the Osaka airport is completely cut off and only reachable by ship. In addition to this within the airport it would seem that there are about 1000 people between employees and passengers who can not yet be evacuated due to the strong wind that is whipping the city of Japan.
Below, videos about the impact of the oil tanker with the bridge and the situation at Osaka airport:

Throughout the global engineering profession, there is an ongoing academic discussion about the need to contextualise risk for society in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Structural engineers, as experts in risk associated with the built environment, are more often relied upon to explain the contemporary concept of risk to clients, partners, and associates.
The development of high-bay warehousing facilities as distribution centres means greater risk to business in the unlikely event of structural failure. Should the owners of distribution centre properties take additional measures to hedge against this greater concentration of risk?

This tutorial shows you the steps to building a wood rail foundation, from cutting the rails and installing them on the ground to making them square and level.
Locating them on the ground is done by setting the rails in their approximate location and checking them for square.
To check that the rails are square in relation to each other you will first make sure that they are the proper distance apart from each other and then measure diagonally from corner to corner.
Your goal is get both of the diagonal measurements to be the same length. So move the rails parallel to each other until the measurements are the same.
The locations of the rails only need to be within a few inches of perfect as you will be moving them to prepare the ground underneath.
To check that the rails are sitting at the same height in relation to each other you will use a straight board and a level. Set the board so that one end is on one rail and the other end is on the other rail. Put the level on top of the board to check which rail needs to move up or down.
You will need to repeat this process several times as you adjust the rail bed levels until the rails are the same height as each other and the rails are level in their own beds.
On slightly sloping ground you may need to dig holes or build up the lower areas with gravel to allow the rails to sit level. This shed required that the higher rail be dug down to the height of the lower rail that was sitting on top of the ground.
The third step is to get the foundation rails parallel and square with each other. This is done exactly the same way you located the rails the first time by using a tape measure to check the locations of the rails.
It is usually easiest to get one of the rails sitting where you want it, and then adjust the second rail so it is parallel and the correct distance from the first rail.
You will need to repeat the measurement checks and adjust the rail locations until they are correct.
Although it is not shown in this tutorial because this shed will be moved to another location, each rail should have a few inches of gravel under it. This gives good drainage under the rails and makes it easier to level the rail beds.
Once the rails are square and level you are ready to set the floor joist on them.
A treated wood rail shed foundation is not always the best choice. There are several other foundation types to choose from depending on your needs and the terrain you are building on.
Post and Beam: The post and beam shed foundation is great for sloping lots or where you simply want the shed off the ground. It consists of concrete piers installed along the roof bearing walls. A beam is installed on the piers and then the floor joists are either set on top of the beams or hung between the beams as shown in this photo.
Concrete Slab: Pouring a concrete slab is the best way to get a very solid floor. The cost is typically very close to a framed floor, just a bit higher. A concrete slab should have a deeper footing around the perimeter to hold the weight of the walls and roof. The shed walls are held to the concrete using bolts spaced along the wall.
Treated Floor Joists On A Gravel Bed: This is one of the simplest ways to install a shed floor. A 4 inch deep gravel bed is installed and leveled and the treated floor joists are set on top of it. Make sure you have good drainage away from the foundation and this shed floor will last the lifetime of the shed. This system also keeps the shed floor level close to the height of the adjacent ground.
Treated Wood Rails On The Ground: Treated lumber is rated for direct ground contact. So this system works well when you want to build the shed floor using untreated lumber. The wood rails are set on the ground, or preferably on a shallow bed of gravel, and then the floor joists are set on the rails. Make sure that the wood rails are set under the walls that support the roof.

You guys are awesome! Thank you very much!" Denise


Cut the existing fence out in pieces, preserving as many of its original vertical support posts as you can. Instead of solid 6x6 lumber, use four pieces of 2x4 lumber in a square, and secure them tightly to the original posts. You might also be able to design a special pentagonal support this way that would work well in the
Building codes require railings on structures that exceed a set height, usually 2 feet. Railings may need to be installed on retaining walls for safety. Aluminum fences are light construction, reducing the load that bears on the wall, and the prefabricated panels are simple to install and built to code. Outdoor

The House has been designed with access and flexibility at its core. The foyers, the corridors, the large and smaller performance spaces have been imagined as venues that can be linked in performance.
At a glance:
- The entire main auditorium and studio space have fully sprung floors
- Above the main auditorium is a wall-to-wall, state of the art tension wire grid that allows wheelchair access to the lighting grid
- The main auditorium has retractable seating. When extended it can seat 216 people
- It has full wheelchair [access] across the entire building
- When the seats are out, the performance stage area is 14m x 12m – it can be adjusted using black tabs to be any depth
- Winner of the 2014 Abercrombie Award for Design Excellence and Innovation.
The House was designed to be constructed with minimum environmental impact. Here are our green credentials:
- 25% of the building materials came from recycled sources
- 70% of the construction waste was diverted from landfill and instead recycled or reused
- Occupied spaces make maximum use of daylight. Electric lighting is switched on by detectors only when people are in the space and daylight levels are not sufficient
- A water tank on the roof collects 20,000ltrs of harvested rain water that is used instead of mains water for uses such as toilet flushing
- The building’s occupied spaces are entirely cooled by natural ventilation, removing the need for electrical air conditioning.


According to the reports of The New London Architecture (NLA) London Tall Buildings Survey 2018, it has been found that the city has planned for over 541 new tall buildings. It has also been reported that there has been a 6% rise in the number of buildings over 20 storeys planned for the city since last year. It also indicates that only 25 buildings have been completed in 2018 which is merely half the number of buildings that were originally planned to be constructed. Reports also indicate that the focus has moved to the outer circle of the UK capital. As of now many of London's tallest buildings are built in a very small area known as the Eastern Cluster, in the city's financial district. If the plan is to go by word then we can witness 76 new tall buildings that could be erected by the end of 2019 and this would add to the already existing 360 tall buildings in the city.
Here at Sigma College of Architecture, one of the Top Architectural Colleges in Tamil Nadu we help our students broaden their horizons by educating them on projects that think outside the box.


Developed and built primarily as a testing and research center for wind-turbine drivetrains, Clemson University's Energy Innovation Center in North Charleston, S.C., is still ramping up operations. However, it's already producing results, says Nikolaos Rigas, the facility's director. Powered by two massive test beds, with capacities of 7.5 MW and 15 MW, respectively, the center's test equipment uses unique engineering to put wind-turbine drivetrain manufacturers' latest designs through a simulation of 20 years of field conditions in just six months.
General Electric was the first manufacturer to take one of the test beds—the 7.5-MW unit—for a spin. Reports Rigas, "They were very happy with the results."
"There are other, similar facilities, but the way we've developed this facility, the capacities of these units and our ability to emulate real-world grid conditions on the units make it very unique," Rigas says.
Less than a year into operations, the center is already broadening its reach. Engineers are working to develop what could be the world's first virtual test bed for wind-turbine drivetrains. Such equipment would enable manufacturers to test their digital designs in a virtual environment, as a precursor to bringing in their physical units. "We're almost there," says Rigas.
The center also is starting to study solar energy and the inherent challenges of integrating large amounts of energy into the electrical grid.
At the facility's dedication ceremony last year, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman noted the importance of sites such as Clemson's.
"The Clemson testing facility represents a critical investment to ensure America leads in this fast- growing global industry, helping to make sure the best, most efficient wind-energy technologies are developed and manufactured in the United States."

ASHRAE recently released a new Building Performance Standards Technical Resource Guide.
Building Performance Standards (BPS): A Technical Resource Guide was created to provide a technical basis for policymakers, building owners, practitioners and other stakeholders interested in developing and implementing a BPS policy. The publication is the first in a series of seven guidebooks by ASHRAE on building decarbonization.
The guide focuses on reducing building operating energy use and emissions in existing commercial and multifamily buildings. Jointly developed by ASHRAE, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its national laboratories, the guide is meant to provide the information needed to make informed policy design decisions for deeper existing building decarbonization and provide equitable outcomes for all involved.
Topics in the guide include:
- BPS Metrics and Terminology
- Performance Targets
- Major Policy Considerations
- Analysis Methods for BPS Policy Design
In a related matter, the ASHRAE Task Force For Building Decarbonization (TFBD) webpage, which includes technical resources, information, videos and publications, was recently updated and redesigned. New features include:
- Descriptions of seven new guidebooks focused on building decarbonization
- A list of related outside decarbonization resources
- A list of key decarbonization terminology


Construction and Engineering Economic Analysis (ENGR 362), Deb Besser
PLACE’s Via development in St. Louis Park, MN will be a “mixed-use, mixed-income, transit-oriented community demonstrating profound environmental design.” The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure has developed Envision criteria to assess the design, construction, and operations of infrastructure. The Envision rating system consists of “60 sustainability criteria that address the full range of environmental, social, and economic impacts to sustainability in project design, construction, and operation.” Students in Construction and Engineering Economic Analysis will conduct an assessment of the Via development using the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure’s Envision criteria, analyzing and communicating how the Via development achieves various criteria. This rating will provide a powerful framework to communicate about the innovative design of the Via development. Students will also provide recommendations regarding actions to increase sustainability in this and future developments.

The standard presents a three-tiered process for seismic evaluation according to a range of building performance levels by connecting targeted structural performance and the performance of nonstructural components with seismic hazard levels. The deficiency-based procedures allow evaluation and retrofit efforts to focus on specific potential deficiencies deemed to be of concern for a specified set of building types and heights. The systematic procedure, applicable to any building, sets forth a methodology to evaluate the entire building in a rigorous manner. This standard establishes analysis procedures and acceptance criteria, and specifies requirements for foundations and geologic site hazards; components made of steel, concrete, masonry, wood, and cold-formed steel; architectural, mechanical, and electrical components and systems; and seismic isolation and energy dissipation systems.

This new national consensus standard was developed from the FEMA , Prestandard and Commentary for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings, which served as a starting point for the formal standard development process. It includes significant improvements in current understanding of building behavior in earthquakes, such as Improved C-coefficients for calculation of the pseudo-lateral force and target displacement based on recommendations in FEMA ; Comprehensive soil-structure interaction provisions including kinematic effects and foundation damping effects; Revised acceptance criteria for steel moment frames to reflect final conclusions of the SAC Joint Venture research; Expanded acceptance criteria for concentrically braced frames defined as a function of brace slenderness, compactness and level of connection detailing; and Updated nonstructural provisions to be consistent with current NEHRP Provisions for new buildings. The completion of the new Standard represents a considerable advancement for the engineering community.
