The first truck arrives, with traffic halted as it moves through the intersection. This girder is 8 feet high and 127 feet long. Yikes!
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 floor was rather spongy in this area. Years of a failing roof have cause irreversible damage to the beam supporting the roof and the floor below
The cathedral is located in the Cathedral Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco, California. The present cathedral replaced one (1891-1962) of the same name. The cathedral was designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan and Angus McSweeney, collaborating renown architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi — at the time, the Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT.
Its saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross.
In 2017, Architecture Digest named it one of the 10 most beautiful churches in the United States.

New York State Pavilion (Philip Johnson & Richard Foster, with Lev Zetlin, structural engineer, 1964). Seen here in 2017, after the restoration of the original "American cheese" paint-job; compare to the state of things in 2014.
I absolutely love this series of photos. We were working with a homeowner who had moved away and we had to describe what the work would entail verbally or with pictures, so our Design Specialist and the Engineer for the project marked up the photos to help visualize for the owner & the production crew what they needed to know.

Structuralism-
The idea behind the structuralist view of mathematical objects is that such
objects have no more of a 'nature' than is given by the basic relations of a
structure to which they belong. A natural implication of this might be that
they have no properties beyond what would be definable from the basic
relations of the structure by some appropriate logical means. Although that
inference has been drawn, it is pretty obviously incorrect; for example,
mathematical objects have what I call 'external relations' arising from their
application, such as those arising from a one-to-one correspondence between the numbers from I to 9 and the planets.
Charles Parsons, Structuralism and Metaphysics
Parsons is concluding that the application of structuralism in mathematics is futile since the basic relations of numbers and formulas cannot be compared really to other basic relations of themselves. However, at times it does seem possible to promote the use of structuralism within the confines of mathematics because everything is relative when it comes to numbers. In proven ways, multiplication is relative to division, addition is relative to subtractions, squares is relative to rectangles, and so on. But if you break down mathematics you will only get to the prime and nothing else, according to Parsons.
This picture depicts two sumo wrestlers. This is a product of structuralism by the contrast of each sumo wrestler. We have a kid sumo versus the prime adult sumo. We know, from the slight smile on his face that he will not hurt the kid, knowing that he is not a competition to him. With structualist, they will say the joke of the picture will not be so funny if we couldn't deconstruct each sumo for who they are.

Structural comparison of class III CoA-transferase superfamily members.(A) Structure superposition of eight class III CoA-transferase superfamily members, shown in the same orientation as Figure 4B. PDB entries are 4hl6 (white), 4ed9 (dark blue), 1p5h (green) [69], 1pt7 (cyan) [24], 3ubm (orange) [25], 1?k7 (yellow) [70], 1?74 (magenta) [71], and 2g04 (pink) [72]. (B) ML phylogram of the structure-based sequence alignment (Figure S6) that corresponds to panel A. UniProt accession numbers and PDB entry codes are given for each taxon. The small boxes match ribbon colors in panel A. Nodes in this consensus tree with support in 1000 bootstrap replicates are labeled. The scale bar is in units of amino acid substitutions per site.
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

National Botanic Garden of Wales, Llanarthne, Wales, UK
Sir Norman Foster designed the main glasshouse for the National Botanic Garden of Wales, which opened in 2000. The 95m greenhouse is the largest of its kind in the world, with 785 panels of glass. Steel structural ribs suspend panels of glass with a soft curvature similar to his Canary Wharf entrance. The bulb protrudes from the green grass like a futuristic mound. The relationship between man-made and natural takes a twist, on this site of man-made nature.
Set in rolling hills overlooking the Tywi Valley in Carmarthenshire, the Great Glasshouse forms the centrepiece of the 230-hectare National Botanic Garden of Wales. The largest single-span glasshouse in the world, containing more than a thousand Mediterranean plant species, it reinvents the glasshouse for the twenty-first century, offering a model for sustainable development.
Elliptical in plan the building swells from the ground like a glassy hillock, echoing the undulations of the surrounding landscape. The aluminium glazing system and its tubular-steel supporting structure are designed to minimise materials and maximise light transmission. The toroidal roof measures 99 by 55 metres, and rests on twenty-four arches, which spring from a concrete ring beam and rise to 15 metres at the apex of the dome. Because the roof curves in two directions, only the central arches rise perpendicular to the base, the outer arches leaning inwards at progressively steep angles. The building's concrete substructure is banked to the north to provide protection from cold northerly winds and is concealed by a covering of turf so that the three entrances appear to be cut discreetly into the hillside. Within this base are a public concourse, a café, educational spaces and service installations.
To optimise energy usage, conditions inside and outside are monitored by a computer-controlled system. This adjusts the supply of heat and opens glazing panels in the roof to achieve desired levels of temperature, humidity and air movement. The principal heat source is a biomass boiler, located in the park's Energy Centre, which burns timber trimmings. This method is remarkably clean when compared with fossil fuels, and because the plants absorb as much carbon dioxide during their lifetime as they release during combustion, the carbon cycle is broadly neutral. Rainwater collected from the roof supplies 'grey water' for irrigation and flushing lavatories while waste from the lavatories is treated in reed beds before release into a watercourse.
