Wind strength of Gothic Cathedrals - Coccia, Simona - Engineering Failure Analysis. Sep 2015, Vol. 55, p1-25. 25p. Abstract: The research investigates the ancient Gothic cathedral and the formulation of its structure regarding the wind resistance. Experiments on the Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Amiens,as it is one of the most significant examples of the Gothic Cathedrals, concluded that the skeleton or the design of this cathedral and all the cathedrals, in general, is showing that it was…

It seems like no matter what approach is used to try and get young women interested in math and science, men still outnumber women in those career fields. Some people may argue that young women simply do not have any sort of interest in things related to math and science and that this is the reason for the gender gap, but this is purely untrue. Researchers have found that when girls perform poorly in math and science, the cause is environmental. Due to society’s expectations and stereotypes,…

For example, attending classes on building construction in order to know the hazards associated with lightweight construction, truss roof etc. Equally important is communication. If the IC instructed them to go into the building, the crew exact location and conditions should have been communicated, by “maintaining frequent two-way communications and the interior crews informed…

I worked as a lighting assistant / stagehand. Personally, I think most of our live lab went pretty well and smooth, we got everything done and set up even earlier than usual, we were an hour ahead of everything, not only because we were very confortable with our positions and helping each other out but also because it was a single girl act instead of a complete band performing on stage, which does not really give me a complete perspective of how a live lab could actually get in terms of…

The Maurice J Tobin Bridge is also known as the Mystic River Bridge. It is a cantilever truss bridge that runs more than two miles from Boston to Chelsea and over the Mystic River (in Massachusetts). The Tobin Bridge is the largest bridge in New England, and it is run by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. The Tobin also carries Route 1. It replaced the Chelsea Street Bridge when it was built between 1948-1950; and opened to traffic on February 2, 1950. Traffic flows in both…

new building above the gym without penetrating the existing structure and affecting the function of the gym above? Moneo give us a perfect solution by using diagonal cross-bracing at the perimeter. An enormous steel truss forms the facade envelope of the architecture. From the giant truss spaces around the building base are hung. These large platforms of stone bases house more than 70,000 sq ft of laboratories. This kind of structure prototype not only satisfy the requirement of the gym but also…

reduces sufficiently, the axial stiffness demand for lateral support to the columns will no longer be available. This material softening effect would have occurred to varying degrees depending upon the fire and fire protection applied to the steel truss” (Usmani, 2003). Usmani brings up an interesting theory because the fire could have been the what ultimately brought down the buildings. Now the only thing that stands in their place is a memorial to commemorate the lives lost of those who worked…

Doing Public Relations in Hawaii According to an interview with senior specialist in PR Huy Vo in PR week (2015) it is wise to use local terms when doing public relations in Hawaii. Vo also advises businesses to make their employees wear Aloha shirts instead of a suit in their headshots for the businesses ' website or other marketing merchandises. An uptight suit does not fit in the loose Hawaiian market in the same way. Vo said that “taking the time to learn about the culture is key in doing…

ABSTRACT: This paper intends to show the significance, and importance of CEAB’s graduate attributes. These attributes can help save time, money, lives and way more. Taking an overlook of the disaster caused by the Hyatt Regency Hotel walkway collapse will substantiate the importance of these attributes, and how their use could have deterred such catastrophe. This paper also intends to show how engineers like myself, can develop aptitude for these attributes throughout their years of studying and…

Childhood toys have the largest impact on our current and future society ideals. Although toys are created for enjoyment, they have a concealed motive concerning gender roles in society. Children are very influential; they are an easy target for commercial domination. Most, if not every child, grows up with toys which makes it extremely easy for them to assume certain gender roles . Name brands such as Crayola, Hot Wheels, and Fisher Price have been prominent in society since they were created…
