Las presentes notas constituyen un tratamiento introductorio de la interacción estática suelo-estructura en temas tales como, los modelos mecánicos de la respuesta del suelo de soporte. Incluyen conceptos básicos, criterios, expresiones analíticas y tablas para determinar los módulos de reacción y de elasticidad del suelo de soporte de los cimientos; expresiones analíticas y algoritmos para el desarrollo de programas de computador para el análisis de interacción; finalmente, ejemplos comparativos de la aplicación de los elementos de diseño señalados. Complementa el texto un CD con un juego de programas y archivos de ejemplo para el análisis de interacción suelo-estructura en cimientos combinados.
Esta visión panorámica del contenido evidencia el carácter didáctico y suficientemente completo de las materias tratadas, en un nivel introductorio. Igualmente, se aprecia su utilidad para los ingenieros civiles, estructurales y geotecnistas, vinculados con el diseño de estructuras de cimentación. Este libro conviene, especialmente, a los estudiantes de mecánica de suelos aplicada y fundaciones, en los niveles de pregrado y posgrado.

Painting and markings:
Well, the RAF is the creative direction, so I stuck to a classic/conservative livery. However, I did not want a 100% copy of the typical “real world” RAF Tornado F.3, so I sought inspiration in earlier low-visibility schemes. Esp. the Phantom and the Lightning carried in their late days a wide variety of grey schemes, and one of the most interesting of them (well, as long as grey-in-grey is interesting at all…) was carried by XS 933: like some other Lightnings, the upper surfaces were painted in Dark Sea Grey (instead of the standard Medium Sea Grey), a considerably murkier tone, but XS933 had a mid-height waterline. I found that scheme to be quite plausible for an aircraft that would mostly operate above open water and in heavier weather, so I adapted it to the Tonka. That XS 933 was operated by RAF 5 Squadron, the same unit as my build depicts with its markings, is just a weird coincidence!
An alternative would have been the same colors, but with a low waterline (e.g. like Lightning XR728) – but I rejected this, because the result would have looked IMHO much too similar to the late Tornado GR.4 fighter bombers.
Since the upper color would be wrapped around the wings’ leading edges, I used the lower wing leading edge level as reference for the high waterline on the forward fuselage, Behind the wings I used the stabilizers’ level. All upper surfaces, including the tall fin, were painted with Tamiya XF-54, a relatively light interpretation of RAF Dark Sea Grey (because I did not want a harsh contrast with the lower colors, and also avoid a Royal Navy-esque look), while the fuselage undersides and flanks were painted in Medium Sea Grey (Humbrol 165). The same tone was also used for the underwing pylons and the “Hindenburger” drop tanks. The undersides of the wings and the stabilizers were painted in Camouflage Grey (formerly Barley Grey, Humbrol 167).
Disaster struck when I applied the Tamiya paint, though. I am not certain why (age of the paint, I guess), but the finish developed a kind of “pelt” which turned out to be VERY sensitive to touch. Even the slightest handling would create dark, shiny spots!
My initial attempt was to hide most of this problem under post-shading (with Humbrol 126, FS 36270), but that turned the Tonka into a Tiger Meet participant, the whole thing looked as if it wore low-viz stripes! Aaargh!
In a desperate move (since more and more paint was applied to the upper surfaces, and I did not want to strip the kit off of all paint right now) I applied another coat of highly thinned XF-54 on top of the tiger stripe mess, and that toned everything done enough to call it a day. While the finish is not perfect and still quite shaggy (even streaky here and there…), it looks O.K., just like a worn and bleached Dark Sea Grey.
A little more rescue came with the decals. The markings are naturally low-viz variants and the RAF 5 Sq. markings come from an Xtradecal BAC Lightning sheet (so they differ from the markings applied to the real world Tornado F.3s of this unit). The zillion of stencils come from the OOB sheet, but the walking area warnings came from a Model Decal Tornado F.3 sheet (OOB, Revell gives you a bunch of generic white lines, printed on a single carrier film, and tells you “Good luck”! WTF?). Took a whole afternoon to apply them, but I used as many of them as possible in order to hide the paint finish problems… Some things, like the tactical letter code or the red bar under the fuselage roundel, had to be improvised, though.

Pintangus sulphuratus
great kiskadee
O bem-te-vi é talvez o pássaro mais popular deste país. É conhecido em toda parte por seu canto, pelo anúncio frequente de seu nome e por sua coloração amarela viva na barriga, garganta e alto da cabeça. Tem uma listra branca que circunda inteiramente a cabeça e seu bico é forte.
Pode ser encontrado em uma enorme variedade de habitats, como campos de cultura, cidade, pomares, orla de mates e em ambientes aquáticos, tais como margens de lagoas, córregos, e rios, onde tem aprendido a capturar peixes que são acrescentados a sua dieta de insetos, anfíbios, etc.
Constrói um ninho esférico, com entrada lateral na parte superior, na forquilha de um galho, sendo bem cuidado e feito de diversos vegetais secos. A postura consta, em geral, de quatro ovos brancos e alongados. É social e vive em pequenos grupos. O barulhento bem–te-vi é comum em todas as regiões brasileiras.
Suas caracteristicas corpóreas: (22,5 cm ; 54 a 60 gramas )
Obs:. São encontradas outras espécies de bem-te-vi, como por exemplo: Bem-te-vi vizinho ( Myiizetes similis ) difere-se do bem-te-vi, em relação ao seu tamanho, com cerca de 17,5 cm ; 28 gramas.
E o bem-te-vi de bico chato (Megarhynchus pitangua ) conhecido vulgarmente como nei-nei, é bem parecido com o famoso bem-te-vi, porém apresenta bico extremamente largo e chato, e canto diferente. Sua área de ocorrência vai do México até o Rio Grande do Sul.
The great kiskadee is a large member of the flycatcher family. It is about ten inches in length. It has black and white stripes on the crown and sides of its head. It has a white line above its eyes. Its chest and undersides are a bright yellow and its throat is white. Its back and wings are brown and its bill and legs are black.
he great kiskadee eats insects like beetles, wasps, grasshoppers, bees and moths. Despite the fact that it is a flycatcher, it also eats berries, seeds, mice, frogs, fish and lizards. It also will dive straight into the water to catch fish.
The great kiskadee is named for its loud "kis-ka-dee" call. It travels in pairs and aggressively protects its nesting territory. One of its most feared predators is the coral snake and the kiskadee will stay away from anything that has the same color pattern as the coral snake.
En las notas de su canto los diferentes pueblos han creído descubrir las palabras y frases más variadas: nei-neí oían los tupís, y pitaguá los guaraníes. "Bicho feo", "bien te veo" y hasta "Montevideo" -al oído de los uruguayos- son sólo algunas de las traducciones de ese grito que los seres humanos hemos determinado, en un acto donde confluyen el humor y tal vez la velada ilusión de comprender el lenguaje de los pájaros.
Los benteveos gozan de una gran capacidad de adaptación al medio, de modo que habitan tanto en regiones cercanas a las selvas tropicales como en sabanas, praderas y estepas o sierras. De todos los miembros argentinos de la familia de los tiránidos son los que mejor se adaptan a la cercanía del hombre ya que no existe parque o plaza ciudadana que no cuente con ellos. La variedad de su dieta omnívora y de los elementos que requiere la construcción de su nido les permite vivir y reproducirse en tan distintos ambientes.
Aunque a veces se los halla en lugares secos, prefieren generalmente la cercanía de lagunas, bañados y ríos o sus inmediaciones. Es muy común verlos posados en ramas o piedras sobre pequeños arroyos o pantanos, donde pueden obtener ranas o peces.
El benteveo es un pájaro familiar para la mayoría de los pueblos americanos, ya que se distribuye por todo el continente, desde el estado de Texas en Estados Unidos hasta la Patagonia, donde parece estar ampliando su distribución en seguimiento del hombre, en nuestro País. Diferentes subespecies se reparten las variadas regiones americanas y residen en ellas en forma permanente, en su gran mayoría.
