Structural joints: 1. Inter modular joints: SFT is a structure that is made up of prefabricated modules assembled in situ though it would be a complicated but it can have to do if the segment is not possible for the single one. So therefore, the joints between the modules. This part is sensitive because of waterproofing and safety of people inside the tunnel. Nowadays, the inter modular joints are used for immersed tunnels (IT) in the form of flexible joint that performs many tasks such as: to…

Purpose/Context: The article was about a collapse that take place in July 17, 1981. In Kansas City Hyatt. the article was explaining the reasons of the collapse and how it happened. In addition, it mentioned the effect that made by that collapse, and the number of injuries and deaths. They wrote that article to learn from their mistake and avoid it not to happen again, and take lessons. Authors: This article was written by Randall P. Bernhardt, P.E, S.E. Yes, the author qualifications provided.…
A. WAVES Normally when energy is transferred from one place to another a disturbance is involved. Waves can travel through air, water, and solid materials. Mechanical and electromagnetic waves are the two types of waves. Medium is the material in which a wave travels. Mechanical Waves When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate, a mechanical wave is formed. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel. There are two different types of mechanical waves: longitudinal and transverse waves.…
Russellville Steel started on a plot of land in 1965, that was bought by H.W. Mitchner and John Trusty. The facility was built and improved upon until 1971, when Russellville Steel is as it is known today. The company ships steel materials around the forty one states it operates in. The company is very tight-knit, and runs an organized business. The Office Sadly, in the year 1994 the co-owner, Mr. John Trusty, had a heart attack and unfortunately passed on. Until the year 2000, the company was…
COMPARATIVE STUDY ON FRICTION WELDED AND ELECTRON BEAM WELDED JOINTS MADE BY 20VNiMoCr120 STEEL Gabriela IANCULESCU*, Lucia Violeta MELNIC, Marian Andrei GURÄ‚U Ovidius University of Constanta Abstract: In the paper there are presented experimental results concerning mechanical characteristics of friction-welded joints in comparison with electron beam welded joints, made by 20VNiMoCr120 heat-resistant steel, which are part of some elements working at high pressure and temperature. The paper…
tallest structures they could. It just so happened that new building material was introduced at the time. The material that had the biggest impact was structural steel. It allowed engineers to design taller than ever before. Using a skeleton steel and thick walls of stone it allowed architects to revolutionize the way buildings looked. The interior steel skeleton made it possible to design these tall…
introduction Bethlehem Steel Corporation, timeline, facts and SWOT analysis of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The data was limited as the business grew in the older times. The data is taken mainly from books and news articles. Recommendation that could improve the situation of Bethlehem Steel Corporation has been given in the end. INTRODUCTION In 1904, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation (also known as Bethlehem Steel) was a steel as well as shipbuilding company started. The Bethlehem Steel…
it undergoes compression and at the bottom it is subjected to a horizontal tension. Therefore, the bridge must be designed to resist buckling and bending of the weight of itself and the loads it carries. Most beam bridges are made from concrete and steel beam because of their properties to withstand the forces of compression and tension. The size of the beam, initially the height is directly related to the distance the beam can span. Increasing the height of the beam can relate to more tension…
water level with the road crowning to a height of 20 metres above mean water level. The bridge is also designed to absorb double the average traffic load. The 666 concrete pillars were constructed using 480 tons of concrete, 5,000 tons of pre-stressed steel structure and 2,000 tons of foundation…
