What are retaining walls?
Retaining walls in Colorado are structures designed to restrain soil to unnatural slopes. They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses. Retaining walls prevent downslope movement or erosion and provide support for vertical or near-vertical grade changes. Retaining walls are generally made of masonry, stone, brick, concrete, vinyl, steel, or timber.
The most important consideration in proper design and installation of retaining walls is that the retained material is attempting to move forward and down slope due to gravity. This creates a lateral earth pressure behind the wall which depends on the angle of internal friction (phi) and the cohesive strength (c) of the retained material, as well as, the direction and magnitude of movement and retaining structure undergoes. Lateral earth pressures are typically smallest at the top of the wall and increase toward the bottom. Earth’s pressures will push the wall forward or overturn it if it is not properly addressed. Also, any groundwater behind the wall that is not dissipated by a drainage system causes an additional horizontal hydrostatic pressure on the walls.

Structure to advertise the Fine and applied art Department of Frederick University in Cyprus. The metal structure is movable and it gives you a double advertisement. Every time that someone collects a course guide from the inside of the structure it leaves free a balloon with Frederick’s University logo on it.

This structure was constructed in 1920 to house the United Motors Company, and is located on Prospect Avenue in Cleveland's Central neighborhood. Known as the United Motors Building, the Classical Revival-style structure has ornate terra cotta trim, cornice, and fluted columns that heavily use the Acanthus Leaf in their capitals. The building was renovated around 1957, which replaced the original windows with less flattering modern ones, and led to the deterioration and destruction of several historic elements in the process. Though it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, the building continued to languish and was underutilized until 2002, when a through exterior restoration was carried out as part of a renovation that converted the former Car Dealership into the headquarters of the Greater Cleveland Young Women's Christian Association, or YWCA, a role that the lovely building continues to fulfill to this day.

Since the structure of the ecosystem at NCF is a direct result of the vertical organization of the present vegetation of an ecosystem, this photo is meant to show the different systemic organization of various components. In this case, I'm using the camera angle to show the different layers of the forest canopy and how they are affected by the various height, density, and light allow and promote the growth of certain species at different layers of the canopy, all the way to the forest floor. The Western Hemlocks can be seen reaching the top of the canopy. Note the lack of vegetation on them, but for the highest points, which in turn has allowed the penetration of light to the lower canopy of the forest, comprised of much younger saplings and various shrubbery.
