FORT NORFOLK, Va. – For years, Mother Nature’s fury has steadily eroded the structural integrity of the Fort Norfolk pier and wharf area, seriously degrading its operational effectiveness and jeopardizing its safe operation. Broken, crumbling and missing pilings; underneath pier foundation completely deteriorated; wharf top cap rotten away; mooring fasteners and piling bolts – gone! That was then. Today, new state-of-the-art structural upgrades expand the facility’s operation and extend its useful life for up to 15 years. The Fort Norfolk Bulkhead and Pier Repair project, under the design and construction management of Norfolk District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, began work in October 2011, and was completed ahead of schedule and more than $150,000 under budget. The Corps’ prime contractor, Team Henry Enterprises, LLC, based in Newport News, Va., is an 8A minority-owned small business. The project marked the first time Team Henry had performed work for Norfolk District, but their land work experience extended to other federal and state agencies. Completing the project ahead of schedule and below budget was no surprise to Steven Baum, Norfolk District’s project manager.

On January 21, 2010, a team of 10 French-speaking engineers traveled to Port-au-Prince, Haiti to help the UN assess the safety of buildings – principally, hospitals and food storage facilities – damaged by the January 12, 7.0M earthquake.
Here's the view from the far side of the bridge. The two cranes are carefully operating in the space between the railroad trestle and the existing Innerbelt Bridge. A little cramped for handling loads of this size, but our experienced crane operators are up to the challenge.
Here's the view from the far side. You can begin to see the elegant shape of the new bridge that will be a remarkable addition to the Cleveland bridge inventory!

"Structural violence is a term commonly ascribed to Johan Galtung, which he introduced in the article "Violence, Peace, and Peace Research" in 1969.[1] It refers to a form of violence where some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. Institutionalized elitism, ethnocentrism, classism, racism, sexism, adultism, nationalism, heterosexism and ageism are some examples of structural violence as proposed by Galtung. According to Galtung, rather than conveying a physical image, structural violence is an "avoidable impairment of fundamental human needs". As it is avoidable, structural violence is a high cause of premature death and unnecessary disability. Since structural violence affects people differently in various social structures, it is very closely linked to social injustice.[2] Structural violence and direct violence are said to be highly interdependent, including family violence, racial violence, hate crimes, terrorism, genocide, and war.[citation needed]
In his book Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic, James Gilligan defines structural violence as "the increased rates of death and disability suffered by those who occupy the bottom rungs of society, as contrasted with the relatively lower death rates experienced by those who are above them." Gilligan largely describes these "excess deaths" as "non-natural" and attributes them to the stress, shame, discrimination and denigration that results from lower status. He draws on Sennett and Cobb, who examine the "contest for dignity" in a context of dramatic inequality."

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Building at No. 1, Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong. While technically British-based, HSBC's CEO office is located both in Hong Kong and London, and one can easily argues that HSBC is as much a Hong Kong bank as a British bank.
Designed by Sir Norman Foster in the 1980s, the building remains one of the most futuristic and innovative buildings even 30 years after it was conceived. Its main vertical structure includes 4 layers of exposed columns and trusses. Office space is then created by extending floor space across each level from one column to other, and also between each of the 4 layers of vertical support. You can think of it like two chocolate filling biscuits standing vertically. The biscuits forms the main vertical support, whereas the chocolate fillings between the biscuits are the floors providing the office space.
For scientists, one of the challenging aspects of studying aerosols is that the particles can change drastically as they age. This illustration shows the evolution of freshly-burned black carbon, which starts out with a distinctive chain-like structure. Over time, the chain begins to collapse and becomes more spherical. Such transformations can take place in short periods, and can alter how a given particle affects our health and the climate.

PBS is excited to be apart of the La Posada retirement community in Arizona. This community is on the cutting-edge of residential construction through its use of green building practices. The most eco-friendly and eco-conscious designs and technology are at the forefront of this new neighborhood and PBS Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) will be the green building product used to frame these homes. La Posada announces Park Centre Homes, a state-of-the-art addition to the campus that will be specifically constructed to offer the healthiest, greenest lifestyles in Arizona.
With Park Centre Homes' focus on "green" building, La Posada is pleased to be working in conjunction with Pepper Viner Homes of Tucson, Arizona on this project. Pepper Viner is a leader in environmentally-friendly residential construction
The Park Centre Homes were deliberately designed with the flexibility to position the homes on each individual lot to maximize each home's architectural features. This allows for the shading of major living spaces and patios as well as greater access to the home from the street. To combat the warm Arizona afternoon sun, Park Centre Homes have two patios, both accessible from the great room. This orientation ensures at least one patio is always shaded from the sun.
Some home plans, based on their orientation and site location, offer window features that allow more natural light, but all floor plans utilize solar tubes that collect and diffuse natural light into halls and closet areas. Landscaping and the strategic use of trees will be an integral part of each Park Centre home. Trees will be planted in specific locations and in sufficient numbers to provide a natural heat barrier to the home.
Park Centre Homes is introducing Southern Arizona to new construction methods for residential building, designed to accommodate future environmentally "green" features. This includes the use of greywater systems, environmentally-sensitive concrete slabs, structural insulated panels and more.
Each interior item in a Park Centre Home has been selected to meet the U.S. Green Building Councils standards. This means a Park Centre Homed will provide a clean and healthy environment in which to live.

After another night of steel erection, the bridge now sports TWO closure girders between Pier 5 and Pier 6. We'll have to wait for the next railroad outage to set the other three closure girders for this span.

All Saints at Seckington is one of Warwickshire's two northernmost churches, and is structurally very similar to it's neighbour at Newton Regis (except that it lacks a clerestorey).
The interior is dominated by the rich Hardman's glass in the large east window and there are some good medieval fragments in the traceries of the nave windows. There is a curious cutting forming the shape of three pointed arches to the left of the chancel arch, no doubt a ghost of the former rood loft and screen, the lowest section of which seems to have survived nearby. On the north side of the chancel is the colourful monument to Richard Burdett (d.1603) and his family, the classic small kneeling figures facing across a desk composition. Below this is a recess containing a carved slab to a medieval priest, but showing only a cross and chalice (why is this listed in some sources as a defaced 14th century lady?!).
The church is normally kept locked without keyholder information, though it does have sporadic open days throughout the year.

The steel support structures - known as "Angel Wings" - extend out from the piers during steel erection. Here, on the ground, you can truly appreciate the size of the structures.

I stumbled on this photo on my archives and saw that the patterns of the roof are beautiful! I just cropped to what I think best showcased the lines and patterns that I wanted for this photo; now it is ready for flickr. ;-)
