From copies of original maps from 1854, Crowley and Denny calculated the mound locations by using a United States Geological Survey digital quad sheet as a reference. They took their calculations to the field, following a hand-held GPS to locate several mounds
The City of Hoover has seen enormous growth in its sports programs over the past 10 years and needed a new complex that would fulfill their existing needs, allow for growth and give the City the ability to create new revenue streams and take advantage of sports tourism by hosting large tournament events. Hoover had not built any new athletic facilities in 15 years. At the same time the City’s sports participation had increased by multiples of 200% - 500% depending on the sport. The growth was caused by increases in both youth and adult sports leagues, as well as the relatively recent popularity of additional sports.
The multi-purpose Finley Center, which connects to the existing Hoover Met baseball stadium with a covered walkway, is able to accommodate a full-size football or soccer field, nine regulation-size basketball courts, 12 regulation-size volleyball courts or six indoor tennis courts. It can also seat 2,400 for banquets and 5,000 for events with general seating, such as a graduation ceremony or concert. Additional features of the indoor facility include a recreational walking track suspended 14 feet in the air, an athletic training and rehab center, and a food court.
The Finley Center sits on a 120 acre site that GMC master planned and includes fields for soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball and softball, tennis courts, a play ground walking track and splash pad.

Built to cross one of the steepest valleys along the Douro River, the Ponte Maria Pia was the first major work to emerge from the French firm of Gustav Eiffel and Company, establishing Eiffel as an important bridge designer and civil engineer of his day. Resting on a parabolic arch spanning 160 meters, the Ponte Maria Pia was the longest iron arch bridge in the world at the time of its construction. The bridge's latticework construction reflects the later design of the well-known Eiffel Tower, erected in Paris to commemorate the International Exposition of 1900.
The success of the Ponte Maria Pia provided the inspiration for later bridge design throughout Europe, especially where steep river gorges had to be crossed. Among these are the Garabit Viaduct in France, designed by Eiffel, and the Luis I bridge, built on the Douro just upriver from the Ponte Maria Pia and designed by Eiffel's chief assistant, Theophile Seyrig.

New York State to Ontario, Canada
Constructed 1848-Present
Through nearly 150 years, a system of bridges has been built across the Niagara River near the famous falls that cross the American-Canadian border. The effort to bridge the two nations began in the mid-1800s and continues to this day; in total, 15 structures have been created, though some did not stand the test of time. Collapses caused by natural forces plagued many of the early structures.
Those that stand today include the Peace Bridge (steel arch), the International Railway Bridge (iron truss), the Rainbow Bridge (steel arch), the Railway Steel Arch Bridge, Whirlpool Bridge (spandrel-braced arch), and the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge (steel arch).
Facts
In 1846, permission from the Governments of Upper Canada and the State of New York allowed the formation of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Company and the International Bridge Company of New York to jointly build and own the first bridge crossing.
- They chose the site along the Niagara Gorge above the Whirlpool Rapids, which was the narrowest point from shore to shore.
- In 1896, the Railway Suspension Bridge was replaced by steel arch structure that could better handle the increasing weight and frequency of rail traffic. Steel pylons, beams, and trusses replaced the original wood and stone. The anchorages and cables from the original bridge were upgraded and served as the sole reminders of the previous Roebling design. After 10 years of use, the new bridge was again replaced by a more durable steel arch structure.
- The Lower Arch Bridge, renamed the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge in 1939, was constructed in 1897. The two-hinged spandrel-braced arch structure proved capable of handling greater loads than originally anticipated and is still in use today.
- In 1883, the Michigan Central Railway Cantilever Bridge was completed just south of the Whirlpool Bridge. The $700,000 structure was 910 feet long. The main span extended 495 feet, with 395-foot cantilevers from the abutments. This left a 120-foot gap, which was filled by a typical truss bridge, hung from the ends of the cantilever. The bridge was replaced after 40 years, by the Michigan Central Railway Steel Arch Bridge, to accommodate the weight of modern trains. It remains in use today.

I went for a visit to Derby for their comedy festival and to spend the weekend with Gemma.
Saturday morning we went to Belper to the river gardens and the horseshoe weir, which is an incredible piece of civil engineering!
The gardens are lovely and tranquil. It was a great little alternative to our usual trip to Dovedale - which we called off because the weather wasn't great.
Had a lovely morning though!

A report that recommends steps to reduce hurricane damage in New Orleans was released today by an expert engineering panel of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The 84-page report, “The New Orleans Hurricane Protection System: What Went Wrong and Why,” targets the public and policymakers, and complements and synthesizes the thousands of pages released so far by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during their post-Katrina investigation. Dr. Robert Gilbert, the risk expert on the ASCE panel and a civil engineering professor at The University of Texas at Austin, noted that their risk analysis confirms the vulnerable nature of the city’s hurricane protection system.
