The Whipple Bowstring Truss Bridge was built from a design patented in 1841 by Squire Whipple. Whipple was the first person to understand the stresses in truss members and he developed the first theoretical formula to calculate stresses in the articulated truss. His bowstring truss was the first to use cast iron for compression and wrought iron for tension membranes.
The structure originally crossed the Cayadutta Creek in Johnstown, New York. It is one of five truss bridges built by Whipple in eastern New York and it is possibly the oldest. The City of Johnstown donated the bridge to Whipple's alma mater, Union College, in 1979.
Though the design and details of the bridge were patented, Whipple never was able to collect royalties. The State of New York adopted "Whipple's Patent Iron Arch Truss Bridge" as the standard for its canals but evaded royalty payments by declaring that the erection of the bridges was for the public good.

Folsom, California
Completed 1895
"The State [of California] agreed to construct the dam using convict labor for which consideration the State received a grant of land for the construction of a prison and water power rights from the impounded water. The work progressed slowly during the dry season by disinterested convict labor using hand tools since the use of machinery was forbidden."
- Historic Landmark Nomination Form, 1974
In 1895, Folsom Powerhouse transmitted 11,000 volts of electricity over a 22-mile stretch to power the streetcars of the Sacramento Electric Gas and Railway Company. Folsom also provided the long-distance, high voltage, three-phase transmission service for municipal and industrial power needs.
The success of this early system proved that low-cost hydroelectric energy could be provided to distant population centers. It served as an early prototype for modern hydraulic power generation and transmission facilities.
Although the lower powerhouse was taken off-line in 1920, the main powerhouse continued in operation until 1952. At that time, the dam was removed to make way for the new Folsom Dam. The original powerhouse is now part of the California State Park System.
Facts
- Water was supplied from a canal leading from a masonry dam, 650-feet long and 87-feet high, on the American River.
The dam contained 78,500 cubic yards of granite block masonry, united by mortar made from 20,000 barrels of cement.
- At the powerhouse, water passed through four 1,100 horsepower turbines.
- The turbines were connected to four 759-kilowatt generators, reported to be the largest in the world at that time.
- Spent water was discharged into a tailrace for return to the American River. A tailrace is the outflow duct or channel from a water wheel or water turbine.
- A small powerhouse was constructed on the tailrace channel to generate an additional 750 kilowatts. Its 26-strand rope drive transmitted energy from the turbine to the generator, which was located on higher ground.

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.
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood (GMC) provided master planning, architecture, interior design, civil engineering, construction materials testing, and environmental engineering services for this project.

13th MIDAS International Conference took place at Cracow University of Technology in Poland on 7th of May, 2014. About 200 professional engineers, researchers and PhD students joined the conference.
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) New Student Residence Hall was designed by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc.
www.gmcnetwork.com/markets/education/higher-education/
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood provided all of the architecture, interior design, civil engineering, surveying, and landscape architecture for this project.
With enrollment at a record high for the fifth consecutive year, The University of Alabama at Birmingham initiated the construction of a New Student Residence Hall to accommodate the increased demand for on-campus housing. The 215,000 square-foot residence hall is located in the heart of UAB’s urban campus.
Approximately 714 students live in the new U-shaped facility comprised of an eight-story tower and four-story wing that includes student common areas on every floor and flexible multi-purpose space. The 8 story tower provides the density of housing required for this urban residence hall to meet demand while the 4-story wing helps the building relate in scale to it’s neighboring buildings on campus without overshadowing them. Together they create a dedicated green space for residents with seating walls, a shaded pergola, picnic tables, concrete table tennis for recreation, and wooden seating boxes which conceal storm drainage inlets.
The atrium lobby provides access from both sides of the sloped site and includes large stairway commons, and a custom dragon scale chandelier to emulate the UAB Blazers mascot.

The Salginatobel Bridge looks as if it belongs in its magnificent setting. It is not an intrusion, but it is an elegant, serviceable, important structure
- James E. Sawyer, PE, ASCE President The Salginatobel Bridge, 1991
The Salginatobel Bridge, spanning the Salgina Valley ravine, is the earliest surviving three-hinged, hollow box arch bridge designed by Robert Maillart.
Maillart's 1901 invention of the concrete hollow box design became a major bridge building concept. In this design, the concrete arch ring and the concrete deck are joined by longitudinal concrete sidewalls, giving the structure the cross-section of a hollow box. The bridge includes reinforcement in both the spandrel (pillar) walls and the arch to control cracking. The rocky walls of the ravine provide the arch support, obviating the need for stone abutments.
Maillart's design ran contrary to the prevailing view that bridges should be massive. He believed massive structures would more easily crack and shrink from temperature fluctuations. He also believed in using the best materials, but using them sparingly. This bridge underscores his view, providing the lowest cost of 19 designs submitted for the bridge's original design competition.

The Coastal Carolina University Softball and Baseball Complex project by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood consists of demolition and replacement of the current stadium in an effort to achieve the Chanticleer program’s goal of providing top-rate facilities for student athletes that emulate the “Coastal” feeling.
Improvements include new team facilities, recessed dugouts, 2,500-spectator seating capacity, restrooms, full-service concessions, novelty sales area, press box with work space for media personnel, premium box and suite areas, clubhouse and locker room for athletes along with coaches and umpires and potential upgrades to the lights, scoreboard and existing landscape.
This facility was designed in collaboration with Populous.
