This experiment was done as part of our Structural Geology assignment to study the kinematic and structural evolution of a thrust complex.
I like to nappe in between thrusts :3

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.

MSA’s ability to provide architectural design, structural design, MEP design, civil engineering, environmental analysis and surveying services entirely in-house allowed for a more coordinated and attentive solution, and streamlined project delivery that was in line with the client’s goals.

Authentic piece of structural steel from the World Trade Center Ground Zero at the Liberty Garden in Dodge City, Kansas.
Liberty Garden in Wright Park in Dodge City, Kansas. The garden was constructed after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It is a project of Keep America Beautiful and the Dodge City CREW (Community Recycling Environmental Waste) program. The garden contains steel from the World Trade Center, piece of limestone from the Pentagon, and a piece of Pennsylvania sandstone. The Liberty Garden's dedication occurred on September 11, 2002.
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)
Rigging is attached to the bottom of the center lifting bracket, too. This allows the girder to be carefully controlled, while slowly changing it to vertical.

The firefighters train regularly on structural, aircraft and compartmental fires to ensure a quick and effective response in real-world situations.

All of the girders and knuckles are fabricated for a specific location on the bridge and when brought on site they are placed in their specific location because nobody wants to move them twice.
Now the girder can be held fully vertical, supported by the two remaining brackets and it is ready to be moved into the vertical storage location.
Crew members prepare to set steel girders near the Western Reserve Fire Museum and Education Center on May 10, 2012.
Once the clamp is set onto the beam, it is carefully measured to be sure it is exactly centered on the beam, then locked into place.
Dortechs Structural Silicone Glazed Curtain Wall systems can be used to create almost perfectly flush-fitted glass facades. The appearance of structural glazing is achieved by using profiles that are only visible on the room side. From the outside, only the glazing and the slender shadow joints are visible. The gap between each piece of glass is approximately 25mm (this can vary) in comparison to the 50 – 60mm site line prevalent with traditional, visible grid curtain wall systems.There are two main types of SSG system Dortech offers;
The first is based upon specialist double glazed units which are manufactured to include an SSG spacer bar which incorporates a ‘U’ channel. Typically the spacer bar will have a bronze anodised finish. Structural silicone is used to bond each piece of glass to the spacerbar. Once the curtain wall grid has been erected on site, these specialist glass units are delivered to site and locked into the grid using metal toggles which are designed specifically for each respective aluminium suppliers curtain wall system. Finally a compatible silicone is applied over the top of the vertical and horizontal joints to create a flush finish.
The second utilises traditional double glazed units manufactured with structural silicone. Aluminium carrier frames are then bonded around the perimeter of each piece of glass with structural silicone. On site, the perimeter frame is locked into the curtain wall grid and then silicone is applied over the gap between each piece of glass.
Please note, the SSG Curtain wall sysems cannot accomodate significant structural movements.
Dortech has carried out a number of projects utilising the following SSG Curtain wall systems:
Schuco FW50+SG
Schuco FW60+SG
Technal MX+SG
