A mini-series following my 44mm-high Homies character Pelon, where he poses for photo ops at potholes on the streets of Mount Tabor Park.
Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.
Chronic neglect of Portland’s streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city. Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon.
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case. Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect. The asphalt layer is minimal; confirming this road never received the maintenance originally planned. The river-rounded pebbles of the base course layer tell the story of a roadway constructed originally from deficient materials. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock – a crushed and sieved mix from those same pebbles would suffice. Pelon is standing on concrete – evidence of a previous attempt to effect a repair – but that repair effort was doomed to fair because it was placed too thin, and was never going to be waterproof. Poor drainage has contributed to the failure of this road. The conclusion is unequivocal; this road has failed and no amount of patching will restore a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.

Title: Plan of the 'Proposed Aire and Dunn Canal'.
Creator: William Smith (1769-1839) and John Phillips (1800-1874)
Description: Printed plan of 'The Proposed Aire and Dunn Canal to drain the contiguous Lands and to shorten and connect the present navigations', by William Smith, Engineer, 1819. Drawn on stone by J[ohn] Phillips.
The lithograph map was drawn by William Smith's nephew John Phillips who had set up a small (short lived) printing business out of his uncle's house in Buckingham Street, London.
The bill for the proposed canal was brought before the House of Commons in April 1819, but was rejected. The canal was never constructed.
Date: 1819

The Ferro-Concrete Review was a monthly journal produced to publicise the Mouchel-Hennebique method of reinforced concrete construction 'in engineering and architetcural practice'. Edited by W Noble Twelvetrees it is a highly informative periodical full of details and illustrations of numerous contemporary construction projects. The Mouchel-Hennebique method was the result of the engineer L G Mouchel being the British agent for the Hennebique French/Belgian method of early concrete reinforcement patented by François Hennebique (1842-1921).
The reconstruction of road bridges is often commented on in the Journal, at a time when increasing demands on highway infrastructure in post-WW1 years met with the relatively 'new' technology of reinforced concrete. Whereas many of the bridge illustrated have long been swept away in later reocnstructions it is remarkable how many still stand, in regular use, a centrury after construction.
The January 1924 issued looks at a number of bridges in Scotland including this, the widening of the viaduct at Colinton that carries the B701 over the valley of the Water of Leith and what was the trackbed of the Caledonian Railway's Balerno Branch. As described the work consisted of the construction of ferro-concrete parapets on the existing masonry arched bridge. The road saw much use in the years before the Edinburgh City By-pass was opened, effectively acting as part of the ring road, and is still in use although I suspect the concrete elements have been more recently renewed.
