First responders from across the country were in Virginia Beach for a massive structural collapse training exercise hosted by the Virginia Beach Fire Department and Virginia Task Force 2. The annual School was held at the sprawling complex of crawl spaces and staged disaster zones representing different scenarios – things first responders have seen and experienced first-hand. This course gives urban search and rescue teams a chance to practice their skills. More than 160 people took part in the hands-on training lasting for 8 days with students coming from as far as San Francisco, California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware.

The cables are strung like a tennis racket. This design is meant to mimic other design features in the house. The wires will tension up some as wine bottles are added. Where wires intersect, the joint is wrapped in high tensile strength wire and that is then soldered into place.

ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. – Douglas Shimmin, 97th Civil Engineer Squadron lead firefighter, hammers through a concrete slab during a structural collapse exercise at the base training pit, Aug. 3, 2012. Trainers from Tech-ResQ evaluated Members from the 97th CES fire department on an advanced structural collapse exercise, which helped the firefighters stay current on their training. The exercise simulated a collapsed building in which the firefighters had to cut holes in walls, floors and ceilings to access them. They also built shores to help support collapsing floors and ceilings. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Franklin R. Ramos)
Structurally folded sedimentary rocks in the Cambrian of Tennessee, USA.
The folded rocks shown here are part of the Rome Formation (Middle Cambrian). Folds (and faults) are common in mountain belts formed by tectonic collision - this example is in the Appalachian Mountains, which formed by collision between Africa and North America during the Pennsylvanian. This ancient mountain-building event is called the Allegheny Orogeny. The supercontinent Pangaea formed at this time.
Locality: roadcut along the eastern side of Rt. 25E, immediately south of the Copper Creek Thrust Fault (= same outcrop), just south of the Clinch River, north of Clinch Mountain, far-northern Grainger County, northeastern Tennessee, USA (36° 22' 54.64" North latitude, 83° 26' 48.86" West longitude)

The Olakneswara Temple ("flame eye"; commonly Olakkanatha; also known as, "the Old Lighthouse") is in Mahabalipuram town, overlooking the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal in Kancheepuram District in Tamil Nadu, India. Like the Shore Temple, the Olakneswara Temple is a structural temple. Built in the 8th century, it is situated directly above the Mahishasura Mardini Mandapa on a hillock which provides scenic views of the town. As the area is within a high security zone because of a nuclear power station a few kilometres to its south, photography is prohibited. The Olakneswara Temple is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a Mahishasura temple. It is dedicated to an incarnation of Shiva. It is one of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram that were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984.
ETYMOLOGY
Commonly, the building has been known as the "Olakkanatha Temple". Its original name, however, was Olakneswara, a corruption of "Ulaikkannisvaram" (meaning: the temple of Siva whose forehead contains the crescent moon or eye of wisdom). Olakneswara is mistakenly called a Mahishasura temple as it is situated above the Mahishasura Mardini Mandapa (cave temple).
GEOGRAPHY
Olakneswara Temple is located in Mahabalipuram town. Facing east, the temple is accessed only be a series of cut steps on exposed rock. It is situated on the top of a hill, above the Mahishasura Mardini Mandapa near the modern lighthouse. It is approximately 58 kilometres from Chennai city (previously Madras) and about 32 km from Chingelpet. The area is a high security zone as there is a nuclear power station about a few kilometers to its south.
HISTORY
Like the Shore Temple, the Olakneswara Temple was built during the reign of the Pallava dynasty king Rajasimha. Archaeologist A. H. Longhurst observed that prior to the construction of the present lighthouse at this site in 1900, the roof of the Olakneswara Temple served as the lighthouse with perhaps a wooden shed structure on the roof. Worship was offered in this temple till the nineteenth century.
FEATURES
The structure is built of grey-white granite. The shikhara or tower of the temple is interpreted to have been built originally to the same style as the Shore Temple tower in Dravidian Architectural style but is now non-existent. A small ardha-mandapa (half hall) leads into a rectangular shrine. An unusual feature is that of the carving of dvarpalas (guards) of the main shrine, which are in half-profile though the space available could have used to make a full-face profile as per traditional practice of the front facing style. This is typical of Mahabalipuram Pallava style and a similar profile of dvarpalas is noted in the Trimurti Cave Temple. This is interpreted as a transition from the Mahendra style of architecture to the Rajasimha style; the transformation was from a full front facing to three-fourth and then to half profile facing each other. However, the guardians carved on the back wall of the temple are in full frontal profile. The building was formerly lined with brick masonry.
On the exterior walls, there are two sculpted images in the niches of the ardha-mandapa. Enclosed within pilasters, these images of Shiva as Kalari killing "Kaala" (Yama) are later additions, not attributable to the Pallavas. On external walls of the main shrine, there are other niches or devkoshtas; on the south wall the sculpture is of Shiva as Dakshinamurti under a tree in seated posture, on the west face an image of Shiva and Parvati seated on Kailash Mountain with Ravana trying to shake the mountain, and an image on the north wall is of Shiva in the posture of Nataraja. The sculptures are much ruined, and were plastered and painted over hence the originality is much less visible. There are a large number of lion pilasters on the walls. There are no images of any deity inside the temple.

In most constructions, mild steel is used. It has immense strength, which makes it an ideal choice for constructing buildings. Apart from that structural steel is tensile, ductile, flexible, and cost-effective. To Know More information visit bit.ly/2qM254x

Aluminum is an ultra-light metal, making it an optimal choice for low cost and lightweight pipe nipples. However, because they are vulnerable to corrosion, aluminum pipe nipples are not recommended for wet or salty environments.
Applications of Aluminum Threaded Pipe Fittings
Aluminum pipe nipples, a kind of threaded pipe fittings, are used only in specialty applications where their uses and limitations are understood. They are not designed for use in general shop water or air plumbing layouts (refer to traditional metals like brass, steel/malleable iron, stainless steel, plastics, etc. for general plumbing applications). Aluminum to aluminum pipe threads are not designed to be removed or re-tightened as they will bind very quickly and easily (ie. the friction of threading together will cause the aluminum to bond to itself - PTFE sealants, pastes, or tapes can lessen the effect but will not prevent it). Therefore, once aluminum to aluminum threads are threaded together, it is considered permanent and leak paths would be difficult to eliminate (but weld aluminum fittings are available, N205WD, N210WD, N225WD, etc).
