The Schwerbelastungskörper is a test structure built in 1942 at the direction of Albert Speer, to see if the ground here would be able to the bear the weight of the vast Triumphal Arch which the Nazi regime planned to build to commemorate the First World War. It is 14m high, its basements extend to a depth of 18.2m, and it remained in use for its original purpose until 1977, although several centimetres of subsidence was already noticeable by the end of the war.

New York, New York
Dedicated October 28, 1886
Sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi is credited with bringing the concept of the Statue of Liberty to fruition, deriving inspiration from the 19th-century penchance for grandiose monuments. He originally designed the statue for placement at the Suez Canal, but the project was never commissioned. After a promotional trip across America, Bartholdi's ideas finally took hold in 1874, and a Franco-American coalition was formed to fund the project, with the Americans building the base and the French the statue. Bartholdi delivered the statue in pieces: first the arm and torch, then the head, and finally the body.
French engineer Gustave Eiffeldesigned the intricate skeleton for the statue, an iron frame that supports the copper-sheathed exterior. American architect Richard Morris Hunt designed the pedestal.

Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Completed 1940
There will be not a single left turn in the entire distance, nor a single grade crossing, and modern trucks will be able to travel the full length of the Pennsylvania Turnpike without having to shift gears.
- Herschel Allen Civil Engineering, February 1940
The Pennsylvania Turnpike was the first American paved highway of the automobile era in which tolls alone were expected to pay all project costs. The 160-mile roadway, which cut an east-west path from Pittsburgh to the state capital of Harrisburg, was considered a revolutionary example of transportation system design and served as a model for the Interstate Highway System.
Motorists had never before seen a road without traffic lights, intersections, and pedestrian or railroad crossings. It was a novel concept that brought 27,000 vehicles on the new roadway the first Sunday it was opened.
For the project to be constructed in a mere 20 months, 1,100 engineers worked on the design, producing many innovations. For example, when possible, the turnpike route was laid out on southern exposures, allowing the sun to melt the ice and snow on the roads. In addition to the roadway, the design involved over 300 bridges and culverts, nine interchanges, 10 service plazas, and 11 tollbooths.
