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.

This is a structural sculpture. I got tired of moving it around and destroyed it in 2013. It was about 2'-6" x 0'-9".
Merton College is one of the very oldest in Oxford, being founded by Bishop Walter de Merton in 1264, and whilst there are other claimants in the city for the title of the most ancient Merton remains the most structurally complete of these earliest foundations (by virtue of its medieval architecture remaining largely intact whereas the rival claimants have been largely rebuilt over the following centuries).
The most impressive part of the complex is the chapel, a remarkable 14th century church with a handsome central tower finished a century later. The chapel is on an ambitious scale and was clearly originally intended to be cruciform but never received its nave (a roof-line is marked out on the west wall but work never proceeded beyond this point). Most of the building is in uniform 13th century Decorated Gothic style aside from the Perpendicular tower and the larger windows in the transepts.
Inside the chapel is a vast open space, the transepts and crossing forming an ante-chapel and the chancel the main working part of the chapel. It is here that the extensive original late 13th century glazing can be admired, an exceptionally almost complete scheme that allows a glimpse of lost medieval England. The side windows of the chancel all appear to have retained their original glass whilst the huge east window has lost its main lights but retains all its tracery glass (elements of late 14th and 15th century glass from the transepts is now displayed in the lower part of the window). The glass follows the form of a medieval 'band window' whereby much of the window space is filled by grisalle and decorative borders with the fully coloured figurative glass mostly concentrated in a singly band across the centre of the window (an economical way to glaze large areas with an expensive material, and retain a balance of light!). The glass was donated by Henry de Mamesfield (d.1328), a former fellow of the college and later Chancellor of the University. This is almost the most notorious known example of the depiction of a donor in stained glass, as he appears in each window twice, kneeling in prayer and flanking the single image of a saint (meaning he outnumbers them two to one!).
Merton College has more quadrangles and courtyards to enjoy beyond the chapel, and is perhaps my favourite of the Oxford colleges. An entry fee is required here nowadays but you are then free to explore on your own once through the door.

Cracking, horizontal and vertical displacement of the brickwork for the outer platform shelter structures at Malvern station. The station is of one of four similarly designed ones between Caulfield and South Yarra built as part of a large scale project to lower the rail lines to remove numerous level crossings and expand the section of line from two to four tracks.
The stations at Malvern, Armadale, Toorak and Hawksburn were built to a common design by James W Hardy and were completed in 1914 with the quadruplication work coming into service in October 1915. The stations consist of a central island platform with outer side platforms all linked by a pair of enclosed footbridges. A similarly designed example is located at Camberwell on the Lilydale/Belgrave lines.
In recent years the shelters on the outer platforms have had cracking in the brickwork and significant horizontal movement, particularly near the arch structures over the platform entrances - which themselves have all been supported by a steel insert pinned at multiple locations into the brickwork. In many cases there have been survey markers placed to monitor the progression of movement.

In addition an elevated shop built at the top of the station platform facing Cheel Street also has major problems with differential settlement and has been held together with an enclosed steel frame at the top parapet of the structure with the three brick columns at the rear on the platform supported by steel props with temporary fencing around the platform side. The Armadale Village Deli which traded from the site was forced to 'temporarily' move owing to the unsafe condition of the structure.

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)

This is the site of an old clay mining operation in Golden, Colorado. Soft clay horizons occurred between hard sandstone intervals of the Laramie Formation. The beds here are vertically oriented - structural tilting occurred during the Laramide Orogeny in the Tertiary. The Laramie Formation is a nonmarine, coastal plain to deltaic succession of mostly mixed siliciclastic sedimentary rocks - sandstones, siltstones, claystones, and coals.
After clay mining ceased, the site became a landfill for ash from coal burning operations. Landfill activity buried many dinosaur footprints preserved in the Laramie Formation sandstones. The locality is now a "fossil preserve" with dinosaur footprints, plant fossils, and other features that can be closely examined along trails. An odd-looking golf course makes up the rest of the old clay mine.

Two versions of on-site signage:
Clay Mining
Since 1877, five generations of the Parfet Family have mined clay from this area. Previously operated as the Parfet Clay Pit, the ceramic and brick industry used clay from this area primarily for bricks and sewer pipe. The Governor’s mansion, East and South High Schools in Denver, and the Jefferson County Hall of Justice in Golden were built from the distinctive tan bricks.
The clay, deposited in lakes and swamps 68 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous, is part of the Laramie Formation. Uplift of the modern day Rocky Mountains some 67-55 million years ago tilted the rock strata to their near vertical position. The clay layers were excavataed as trenches, leaving the vertical fins of sandstone visible today. Trace fossils such as dinosaur tracks and leaf impressions are visible on many of the remaining sandstone walls. The pits on either side of the trail contain fossil footprints that have yet to be detailed.
Logs, wedged horizontally between the sandstone walls, served as a warning device to miners. If the walls started to give way, the miners would hear the logs creak or “sing” and move to safety.

Clay Mining
Clay from the Fossil Trace Golf Course, previously operated as the Parfet Clay Pits, has been mined for the ceramic and brick industries since 1877 by five generations of the Parfet family. The predominant uses of this clay were for brick and sewer pipe. The tan brick was used to build the Governor’s mansion, East and South High Schools in Denver and the Jefferson County Hall of Justice in Golden. The clay was deposited in small ponds and depressions about 70 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period and became part of the Laramie Formation. The rock strata were tilted vertical by the uplift of the modern day Rocky Mountains to the west approximately 60-65 million years ago. Clay layers were excavated as trenches, leaving vertical fins of sandstone, which contain trace fossils. The sandstone was originally sand which was deposited when adjacent streams overflowed their banks during flood events.

The ceilings are Glulam beams, and 2x8 Douglass Fit T&G. We whitewashed all the components before framing and installing. The GLB's are spaced at 4'-0". The purlins are there as a T&G nailer, and to hide the light fixture wiring.
My structural jewellery aims to explore the relationship between the opposing realms of craft, computing, science and nature. I enjoy the simplicity of repeating one element as a method of construction, mixing traditional skills with new technologies. My interest in play on words has led my collection to be based around the iconic diamond, its form and how we identify it. I aim to rework the diamond and challenge its common associations and preconceptions. Each piece is worked by hand giving every diamond a rarity similar to the stone itself.
