To model a structure with anisotropic properties using macro-scale approach, several material parameters in different directions are needed such as stiffness, Poisson's ratios, strengths and damage parameters. Determination of all of these parameters are either from a number of experimental tests or the results obtained from a meso-scale homogenization. Prediction of the effective properties of the material using analytical methods have been reviewed by Younes .
There are several disadvantages of the macro-scale modeling approach which limit its application. Basically, fiber architecture such as the undulation and intercrossing of fiber tows in the model is neglected in this approach. Hence, detailed stress and strain solution among the constituents and localized damage or failure cannot be provided. Regardless of the drawbacks, macro-scale approach can provide efficient global response for the simulation of composites with different fiber architecture.
This is particularly evident when the analysed structure is relatively large. Macro-scale material parameters such as elastic and failure properties are very important in order to provide an accurate solution. Obtaining those parameter is tedious and costly since good experimental support is needed. Consequently, composite structure with less material parameters like transversely isotropic unidirectional composite laminate is favourable for macro-scale modelling.
Y. Shi et al  have employed the macro-scale approach to predict the impact damage of composite laminates in the form of intra- and inter-laminar cracking under low velocity impact. Essential features of the model such as stress-based criteria for damage initiation, fracture mechanics techniques for damage evolution and Soutis shear stress–strain semi-empirical formula to capture nonlinear shear behaviour of the composite have been applied.
A good agreement between numerical results and experimentally obtained curves of impact force and absorbed energy versus time have been achieved. Besides, the proposed damage evolution model also able to capture various damage mechanisms that occur after the impact.
Macro-scale FE analysis of carbon fiber reinforced composite plate have been conducted by A. Riccio et. al  to predict the damage onset and evolution under low velocity impact. Both inter-lamina (delaminations) and intra-lamina failure mechanisms were predicted using the cohesive elements and Hashin's failure criteria respectively. Moreover, to improve the accuracy of the result, a global–local technique was applied to refine the mesh in the impact zone. Comparisons between numerical and experimental results under different impact energies in terms of global impact parameters, maximum impact force, maximum impact displacement are found to be in fair agreement.
D. Feng et. al  examined the structural response and the failure mechanisms of the composite laminates subjected to low-velocity impact using the macro-scale technique in combination with the constitutive models for intralaminar and interlaminar damage modes. The results of numerical simulations were compared with experimental data obtained by drop-weight impact testing and stereoscopic X-radiography. Both the structural impact response and the major damage mechanisms over the range of impact energies provided by the numerical FE model shown a reasonable good agreement with drop-weight impact testing data.
H. Ullah et. al  conducted the experimental characterisation and numerical simulations on the deformation behaviour and damage in woven CFRP composite laminates under quasi-static bending. Two-dimensional macro-scale models are developed and numerical results showed that damage initiation and evolution processes in woven laminates are in agreement with experimental data.
Yumin wan et. al  studied the mechanical properties and failure mechanism of three-dimensional (3D) braided composites subjected to compressive quasi-static and high strain rate loadings. Both meso- and macro-scale model integrated with strain rate sensitive elasto-plastic constitutive relationship and ductile and shear failure criterion were developed.
Experimental data was used to verify the results obtained from both models and the results are promising. A macro-scale model of woven composite has also been developed by Xiao et. al  using LS-DYNA to simulate the onset and evolution of damage. Remarkably, failure mechanisms under different type of loadings including tensile, compression and shear can be predicted with this model
In summary, even though the macroscale modeling approach is incapable to predict the behavior of the reinforcement, matrix or fiber-matrix interface, with its homogenization feature, it can act as an effective first level overall solution in the modeling framework especially for impact simulation of a large scale structure.
Prediction of detail local failure is only applicable for micro- and meso-scale model approach. Besides, higher scale model can exploit the effective material properties obtained from both methods. To be brief, a comprehensive evaluation of material failure responses can be achieved through combination of micro-meso-macro scale approaches


Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Evaluation of Soil ErosionAuthor(s): A.M. Gafurov, no, no, Kazan Federal University, Kazan, Russia, email@example.com
Issue: Volume 43, № 2
Rubric: Earth sciences
Annotation: Classical field methods for assessing soil erosion provide generalized information about the washout layer or, as in the case of the method of dating deposits in the bottoms of dry valley using 137Cs as chronomarker, indirectly estimate the intensity of erosion by the accumulation layer. Using an approach that calculates the changes of the entire surface relative to the original, allows us to estimate the volume of material transferred within the study area, as well as estimate the amount of material transferred. The paper presents the results of the development and testing of a methodology for assessing soil erosion using unmanned aerial vehicles. The quadcopter DJI Phantom 4 was used as a UAV. The work was carried out in two key sites located in the agrarian sector of the European part of Russia - in the Republic of Tatarstan and in the Stavropol Krai. Each site was studied twice with an interval of 1 year, for each survey were obtained super-detailed digital elevation models. Subtraction of multi-temporal models allowed us to estimate the soil erosion at both key sites. The annual flush layer from the site in the Republic of Tatarstan was 1.94 mm, from the site in Stavropol Krai 1.04 mm. The use of UAVs allows not only to estimate the volume changes on arable land, but also to automatically map horizontal changes of rill erosion. For example, the increase in the number of rillheads in the Republic of Tatarstan over the year was 10 %, their density increased by 30 %. Thus, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles allows for a comprehensive assessment of erosion processes in agricultural areas.
Keywords: erosion, unmanned aerial vehicles, small catchments, accumulation, field work.

If you are arriving on Sanibel Island in the next few weeks for a beach vacation or getaway at Sanibel’s West Wind Island Resort island resort, you may incur some minor traffic delays on the Causeway.
Lee County, which owns the Causeway and collects the tolls for its use, has contracted with a firm to make small, preventive maintenance repairs to the bridge structures, starting Monday August 18, with work expected to continue until September 30.
According to a notice from the City of Sanibel, work will be done on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. from the bridges’ shoulders. Slight lane shifting may be required, but no lane closures are expected. Short traffic disruptions during the daily set-up and breakdown of the maintenance of traffic devices is likely. There will be variable message signs to alert drivers to the roadway traffic conditions.
Most repairs will involve sealing smaller cracks and injecting epoxy into larger cracks identified within the bridge superstructure in two earlier inspections. The work will also include repair of previously identified delaminations and spalls within the bridge superstructure. These can occur when small sections of concrete detach from a slab.
The repairs themselves are not safety issues, according to the City. The Causeway is structurally sound and remains safe. These repairs are to seal the cracks so that saltwater will not intrude and affect the integrity of structural steel. The goal is to ensure the Causeway bridges reach their targeted 75-year life span. Questions may addressed to 239-533-9400.

Construction sites have inherent risks. One of the dangers faced by the 11.9 million construction American workers employed in 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is the risk of falling from heights.
When a workplace does not have proper fall prevention, workers can suffer from serious injuries. Ensuring the safety of construction workers is of paramount importance, and implementing robust fall prevention measures is an important aspect of achieving this goal.
Guardrails and toeboards
Guardrails and toeboards are fundamental components of a safe construction site. These physical barriers provide a protective barrier around elevated work areas, such as scaffolds and elevated platforms.
Workers can use these structures to prevent accidental falls and maintain their balance while working at heights. Regular inspections and maintenance are important to ensure the integrity of these safety features.
Personal fall arrest systems
Personal fall arrest systems, commonly referred to as PFAS, are critical tools for protecting workers at elevated positions. PFAS typically consist of a full-body harness, lanyard and anchor points.
Workers wear the harness, which connects to the lanyard, which is in turn attached to a secure anchor point. In the event of a fall, the PFAS will arrest the worker’s descent, preventing them from hitting the ground.
Safety nets are another effective fall prevention measure on construction sites. These nets are strategically placed below elevated work areas and serve as a last line of defense in case other fall protection measures fail. Safety nets absorb the impact of a falling worker, reducing the risk of serious injury.
Regular training and awareness
Proper training is important to ensure that workers are well-versed in fall prevention techniques and safety procedures. Regular safety training sessions can help raise awareness about the risks associated with working at heights and equip workers with the knowledge and skills needed to protect themselves.
Construction jobs are set to grow at an average pace over the next 10 years, meaning these kinds of accidents may continue on pace as well. Additionally, workers who face daily challenges due to the dangerous nature of their work may feel stressed after an injury happens. All of this means those in charge need to be proactive when it comes to workplace safety.


FFA designed the renovation and expansion of Richland’s existing 33,000 square foot library. The project modernizes and upgrades the facility as well as expands the library to a total of 58,000 square feet. The existing 1960s-era one-story building was designed in a “bunker style” of modernism using dark finish materials and heavily tinted glass, all lending an unfriendly, imposing atmosphere to the cramped, outdated facility.
A new two-story atrium/lobby provides a civic presence on the site and organizes new spaces for public meeting rooms, friends of the library retail, and a café. With many mature plantings and trees on the site, FFA has designed an expansion that utilizes available open space on the site, pushing inviting new spaces for collections, lounge seating, and community meeting rooms near the edge of the site. The new, light-filled spaces open to trees that line the perimeter of the block, creating the feeling of ‘reading under the trees’.
25,000 sf addition
33,000 sf renovation
The Richland experience with FFA has been excellent. The team has shown great depth of understanding of the structure of public funding and public process. They have been very responsive to both community and library staff, the customers, and to the need to provide beautiful, quality design without extravagance.
Former Library Director, City of Richland
INTEGRATION OF OLD AND NEW
A metal panel system with precast concrete complete the material palette of the new extension, lending a high-quality, contemporary feel to the facility. The goal of design integration between the old and the new was met by using a material color palette that works with the existing finishes and replacing all of the old dark glass with new clear high-performance glass, making every side of the building a new composition.


Better Larger Prefabricated Buildings
There are a number of needs for high metal building structures which are used in various industries. It can take the use of vertical conveyors to even reach the heights that these have inside. It is mostly unused space that makes up these buildings. The main level is what is used most of the time since it is the most accessible.
In order to make enough ground and floor space in these building types, multiple units have to be built, causing them all to be sprawled out. This means that, again, space is wasted and the cost of the buildings is high. In order to alleviate the problem of cost, prefab buildings can be used to make the tall buildings at about forty percent less of the cost of a regular build.
These brilliant steel buildings leave a very small environmental footprint since the walls are already built and the structures are totally prefabricated. This makes assembly fast and efficient. All that is needed is a slab foundation and some time to build it together and that is all. Once the project starts, it is over much faster than any standard build would be.
Look into having this type of building instead of the standard warehouse build. If you are not going to use the upper loft space anyway, you may as well save on the total building costs which is exactly what these prefabricated buildings do. You can count on them being very sturdy, able to stand up to even the most harsh weather conditions that could possibly assail it.
If you do want the building to be tiered, that is possible as well. It is best to consult the builders about such matters. There will be high ceilings and walls that could easily accommodate tiers if they are desired and needed.

While water covers 70 percent of the planet, less than 3 percent of it is fresh and only 1 percent of it is accessible. Because water is such a precious resource, pressure washing companies provide water reclamation services to keep local watersheds clean, reduce the impact on the local water supply and meet environmental standards.
What is Water Reclamation?
If you have a rain barrel at home to catch water that runs off your roof, you reclaim the water and put it to good use. Similarly, pressure-washing companies capture the wastewater that they produce using recovery and filtration units that vacuum wastewater using a berm, vacuuming surface-cleaner equipment or hand-held vacuum hoses. The water passes through a series of filters and into a holding tank for reuse or disposal. While this water isn’t drinkable, it is safe to use for landscaping irrigation, toilets, creating artificial bodies of water, mixing concrete, cleaning equipment and more. With a properly designed water reclamation system, the treated wastewater is of high enough quality to be safe for human exposure. When the technician cannot dispose of the wastewater properly or does not have a filtering system, he’ll take it to a disposal facility.
Why Professionals Use Water Reclamation Services
- Reduce pollution: Wastewater produced by pressure washing equipment often has biological and chemical pollutants that may pose a danger to groundwater and local watersheds. Capturing the water helps ensure that only storm water goes into a municipal drain system.
- It’s the law: In the US and Canada, there are state, federal and province-specific laws regarding what can go into sewers and storm drains. Pressure washing companies reclaim wastewater to protect the environment and maintain compliance with environmental laws.
- Reduce the demand on local water supplies: As the demand for fresh water increases, so do water shortages. Using reclaimed water helps increase the amount of water available to homes and natural habitats.
- Reduced operating costs: In Canada and the US, some customers are charged for the amount of water used and sent down the drain. Water reclamation services help lower these costs, enabling pressure-washing companies to pass the saving onto customers.

Spotlight: WUTEH Warehouse and Office Centre
The effects of the Loxone building automation system have exceeded all expectations at the WUTEH warehouse and office centre in Poland. The investor predicted a 10-15% reduction in power usage at first, and yet they managed to save an outstanding 90% of consumption after installing our energy-efficient automation solutions on the premises. This is an excellent example of how modern technologies and smart solutions can contribute to sustainable improvement and help with cost savings for any building.
Located near the centre of Szczecin, the facility of P.P.U.T. WUTEH Sp. z o.o. stretches over more than 8,000 square metres. The premises consist of a warehouse, a production area and an office space. The Loxone building automation system – with special focus on efficient energy management – have revolutionised everyday life throughout the facility.
One of the main challenges of this installation was efficient temperature management. The large-scale facility houses 1,200 square metres of offices and 5,500 square metres of warehouses, where the comfort temperature is now automatically maintained at all times (18 degrees and 21 degrees respectively). Previously, the heat pump was on all the time, consuming 17-18 kW for 24 hours a day. An employee had to manually adjust the heat levels to protect the pipes from freezing over.
With the Loxone system installed, the heat pump is now operated by intelligent automation. The physical presence of workers is no longer needed, and the pumps use much less energy, often operating at 10-30% of their capacity. The system takes the weather forecasts into account, allowing automatic adjustment of the heat supplied to the heating node.
Managing escapes of water
The project also includes safety solutions. Water Sensor Air devices and smart meters detect escapes of water, so staff can quickly identify and repair any leaks. This not only saves water resources but can also help to minimise potential financial losses due to damage.
Solar energy management
45kWp photovoltaic cells were also installed on the roof of the facility. The amount of solar energy produced is automatically adjusted to the current consumption by the Loxone energy management system, which also stores the accumulated solar power and helps with the subsequent billing.
Operation of electric motors
The control of electric motors is also a key element of this project. Motors that run at full power consume more energy than those that run at lower speeds. With the Loxone automation system, the motors are intelligently controlled via the Loxone App when required, resulting in huge energy savings and much less wear-and-tear on mechanical components.
The installation at P.P.U.T. WUTEH Sp. z o.o. is excellent proof that innovative solutions can not only improve energy efficiency, but also reduce the environmental impact of business operations. Carried out by Loxone Gold Partner Grazzo, this project has proven that the future of building automation can be greener and more economical.

How is the selection of pump selection?
The water pump selection basis should be taken into consideration in five aspects according to the process flow and the requirement for water supply and drainage, not only the quantity of liquid, the lift of the device, the nature of the liquid, the arrangement of the pipeline and the operating conditions, etc.
1, flow is one of the important performance data of water pumps. It directly relates to the production capacity and transmission capacity of the whole plant. For example, in the process design of the Design Institute, we can calculate the normal, minimum and maximum flow of three pumps. When the pump is selected, the maximum flow rate is taken into account and the normal flow rate is considered. When there is no maximum flow, it is usually 1.1 times the normal flow rate as the maximum flow rate.
2, the required lift of the installation system is another important performance data for pump selection. Generally, the head lift is selected by enlarging the 5% - 10% surplus.


It had been a long layoff for the architects and construction workers building Revel, the $2.4 billion resort and casino rising along the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The extended construction stoppage due to funding difficulties during the recession forced work to halt. In February, funding for finishing the much- ballyhooed project was secured and work once again began on the shiny glass structure, which promises to help put a charge back into the Boardwalk.
Michael Prifti of BLT Architects is the executive architect for the project. He’s charged with getting the project restarted again and leading the massive undertaking to get the resort and casino finished for its opening in mid-2012.
“We had completed all of the design documentation and the project was well into construction,” Prifti says of the projects status when the halt came about. “We were officially pencils-down for 10 months.”
The delay has pushed back the targeted opening date approximately six months. Revel was originally slated to open this December.
Over the course of nearly a year’s wait, the Revel project required new timelines and budgets. And, since the market had shifted during the layoff with the openings of casino-resorts in nearby Pennsylvania and Maryland, some repositioning was also required.
“I think the big issue in terms of design is our repositioning effort. The bulk of the efforts when we restarted are two-fold: new construction administration and to revise the design to where we see the market being in 2012,” Prifti says.
Prifti says that certain items of the design have been changed since the restart. “There’s a tremendous amount of work that’s under construction that is already designed and documented,” he says. In addition, he says, they have attended to construction overall with an eye toward what is changing. “As we answer some riddles and questions, we respond and tell them to proceed,” he continues.
Prifti says that the general organization of the property remains in tact, but details have been modified. For the most part, the color palette has been advanced, while materials have remained largely the same.
Restarting the project after the 10-month delay was something that Prifti and his team were able to jump on. “We were aware that the owner was working on securing the funding and they kept us apprised,” he says. “We would regularly send out communication to our team.”
During the 10 months, BLT Architects kept key Revel personnel at the ready. “We kept them on a very short project lease,” Prifti says. “We would have them do studies and support other projects so we could break them loose when the restart came.”
He also says that the firm kept in constant contact with consultants.
For his part, Prifti happened to be in Atlantic City when word came down that the funding had been secured. “I sent an email within two minutes, and there was about two weeks of warm up and then everyone was at full speed,” he says.
“The contractor, Tishman, was always involved. In the two weeks we got ramped back up, so did they,” Prifti says.
Prifti says that the work is getting done incredibly swiftly since the start up. “I think it’s incredible,” he says. “The New Jersey construction industry was so flat that everyone could get the pick of the litter for personnel and many of the people who were working on Revel before were back.”
That means that there was an in-depth knowledge of the project before the delay so restarting with changes became easier, Prifti says.
Prifti says Revel is a unique property. “First and foremost it is a resort that happens to have a casino in it,” he says. “It is unlike anything else on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.”
One of the unique design elements is an enduring connection to the Atlantic Ocean. The glass exterior allows windows throughout the property to connect guests to the ocean view. That’s a far cry from the often covered up casino designs of the city. “It’s always been an inside-outside connection, which we’ve worked very hard to achieve,” Prifti says.
And now that the project has restarted, Prifti and his team are working doubly hard to bring the property to life.


Installation of water fountain systems, be it an outdoor or an indoor, is an ages-old tradition of Architecture. Even before the invention of machines, water fountains were installed with the help of techniques like gravitation force. After the introduction of electro-mechanic systems, fountain artwork reached a higher level. Going forward with the advancement of technology, multi-dimension fountain nozzles have been introduced to create amazing fountain systems.

Readymade fountains are available and indoor fountain systems, as per the requirement and imagination of the clients, can also be designed and installed. A combination of architecture design, digital programming, and type of water jet nozzle will create great indoor fountain artwork.
Installation of a beautiful, clean, and calm indoor fountain system is a challenging one. Generally, the indoor fountain systems utilize the same amount of water in circuits. Hence a continuous smooth flow of water must be ensured to give the desired effect to the fountains. Taking into consideration the size of the fountain, a suitable pump set is selected to ensure a continuous flow of water. Hence it is necessary that a sufficient amount of water resource is available to feed the fountain.
The cleanliness of the water through the filtration process is also to be ensured with the help of the filtration plant attached to it. If water treatment is not ensured suitably, the fountain will look filthy with the passage of time. Generally every three months, the water of the fountain needs to be replaced with fresh water.
The selection of proper hardware, including pump set, jet nozzles, lighting system together, results in a good fountain. Hence proper planning, designing, and commissioning is the essence of a particular fountain artwork. Our technical team is an expert in carrying out a survey of the site and identifying the resources required to install beautiful fountains. Huaxin Fountain is leading in designing, developing, and installation of fountain systems both indoor and outdoor. All kinds of indoor fountain systems are created as per the imagination and requirements of its clients.

As the name suggests, a backflow preventer works to ensure that liquids do not flow back against the required direction of flow. When used in the context of a fire sprinkler system, a backflow preventer device is used to ensure that water does not flow from the sprinkler system back into the municipal water supply, or other source of drinking water. Unfortunately, water held in the sprinkler system can become contaminated. If allowed to re-enter the water supply, there is potential for the contaminated water to become a health hazard. The backflow preventer is intended to prevent water flowing back towards the main supply. Backflow preventers need to be checked regularly for effectiveness, as well as inspected annually by a fire inspection company in order to ensure they are working as they should.
How Does a Backflow Prevention Device Work?
A backflow prevention device responds to changes in pressure. When the water flows in the desired direction, the pressure of the flow pushes the backflow valve into the open direction, allowing the water to proceed as needed. When pressure builds up in the opposite direction (backflow), the pressure pushes the valve closed, meaning that water cannot flow back towards the mains. This simple procedure prevents contaminated water making its way back to the supply system. Backflow prevention devices normally require very little maintenance once in position, and do not need any external power supply in order to function correctly – their action is determined by the relative pressure on either side of the device.

After nearly 10 years in the making, the new Port of Long Beach bridge is finally complete. The bridge has not been name as of yet, but it is the replacement for the 52-year-old Gerald Desmond Bridge. The Port of Long Beach is known to be the most “advanced and competitive” port in the world. In order to live up to this title, and maintain that status, large steps needed to be taken. While the Gerald Desmond bridge served us for so many years, it was simply too narrow and too low to keep up with the times. In order to accommodate the ever-increasing high-traffic demands of today and the larger cargo ships, a new bridge was crucial.
The Port of Long Beach launched an official post with all of the information you’ll want to know about this new historic monument. Check out their blog post to see some more information. This bridge is not only “THE signature bridge of Southern California,” it was also built incredibly strong, and built for the dreaded Southern California seismic activity. The article states, “the new bridge is designed to last 100 years with minimal maintenance and considered one of the most seismically advanced structures in the country. The bridge includes German-design joints at each end of the main span that move up to six feet in three directions during a very strong earthquake. These joints, large dampers, and other features are designed to provide flexibility and elastic points of isolation that enable bridge segments to move independently without casing significant damage to the bridge’s primary superstructure.”
It’s safe to say that we’re all quite grateful there won’t be any more construction traffic, but it was worth the wait. We’re looking forward to the next 100 years with this new beautiful bridge.


The Graven Hill site just outside Bicester presents the largest opportunity in the UK for people to build their own homes. This idyllic spot, currently occupied by the MOD is 190 hectares in size, situated around a wooded hill just 3 miles from junction 9 of the M40. Graven Hill has outline planning for 1900 new homes, shops, offices, a primary school and a pub. Kloeber’s showroom in Grendon Underwood is just 10 minutes away on the A41.
Cherwell District Council are the driving force behind the whole project, they have created both Graven Hill Holding Company Ltd. and Graven Hill Village Development Company Ltd specifically to develop the site. The building opportunities will range from large plots for detached houses to smaller terraces, apartments and bungalows; these give opportunities for custom and community building projects as well as one off self builds. The vision is to give many different individuals with varying budgets the opportunity to build.
Once the MOD site has been vacated in late 2015 infrastructure works will begin and in early 2016 the first plots will be released, the first 200 builds will be starting in 2016. The whole site is likely to take 10 years to fully develop with around 200 houses a year being built. The houses will need to be built to either Code 5 or Passivhaus standards, basically this means the houses will be sustainable, have low carbon emissions and will be built to a far higher standard than the current building regulations require. Please see the link below for more information.
Windows and doors play a massive part not only in the fabric of your building aesthetically but also helping you to achieve the above standards required. Kloeber can achieve the standards set out for the Graven Hill site and can work with your architects and builders to deliver a glazing package suitable for any self build project. With an extensive showroom only 10 minutes from the Graven Hill site we would like the opportunity to talk to anyone who is interested in buying a plot and hope we can help in designing your dream home.
To register your interest in the Graven Hill site direct with Cherwell District Council please follow the link below:


The Digital Transport "14th Five-Year Plan" issued by the Ministry of Transport puts forward the overall task of digital transport development in China during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Under the guidance of policies and driven by technology, China's digital transportation construction has ushered in a critical period, and the development of digital transportation industrialization has entered the fast lane. With the deep integration of cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, blockchain, artificial intelligence, 5G communication, Beidou and other new generation of information technologies and transportation, the expressway began to enter a new era of —— smart expressway era.
01. Development status and trend of highway informatization in China
The information construction and development of the highway in China has mainly experienced the following four stages: the first stage is the construction of monitoring charging and networking system infrastructure, the assets along the highway; the second stage is the national networking and the cancellation of the provincial toll stations; the third stage is the national charging system networking; the video cloud networking stage is the application of AI technology; the fourth stage is the comprehensive intelligent stage, namely the intelligent expressway stage.
In order to implement the requirements of the Outline of Building a Transport Power, the Overall Layout Plan for The Construction of Digital China and the 14th Five-Year Development Plan for Digital Transport, the Ministry of Transport actively promotes the digital transformation of the whole process of highway construction, maintenance and operation.
Under the guidance of the Ministry of Transport, around built a batch of intelligent highway project, a large number of applications of video monitoring, flow monitoring, meteorological monitoring and intelligent perception technology, actively explore road synergy, beidou navigation system, high precision electronic map and other new technology application, in the perception of early warning ability, comprehensive management application platform, security and travel service made beneficial exploration, has made great progress.
At present, the Ministry of Transport is organizing the drafting of policy documents on highway digitalization and smart highway construction, strengthening the guidance of smart highway construction projects, deepening the demonstration of technical solutions, and accelerating the construction of smart highway.
02.The construction of smart and high-speed technology brings huge business opportunities
Smart expressway is the focus and power point of the construction of smart transportation and transportation power, and has been the focus of attention inside and outside the industry. Up to now, many smart expressways have been built in China. The completion of these smart expressways marks that China's smart expressways are moving towards the direction of high-quality development, and will soon usher in large-scale and industrialized development.
Different from the traditional expressways to meet the needs of toll collection and management, the smart expressways put more emphasis on the digitalization and intelligence of management and service. As can be seen from the built smart expressways, advanced technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, 5G, Internet of vehicles, vehicle-road collaboration, Beidou high-precision positioning, blockchain and supercomputing have all been deeply integrated in smart high-speed scenarios.

51 percent of Ugandans lack access to safe water and 81 percent do not have access to improved sanitation facilities. Further, due to disparities in water access in Uganda, urban people living in poverty pay as much as 22 percent of their income to access water from water vendors. Its against this that we intend to pursue a clean water program
Under this program we aim to help to bring water, sanitation, and hygiene to communities. IWU intends to venture in constructing piped water supply systems in the district in Uganda and use this as a Business model to make sure water services are sustainable. This type of model uses the community to manage water systems, and the approach creates jobs for water point mechanics, private entrepreneurs, and water kiosk and hand pump attendants. We envisage train these entrepreneurs to manage and repair water systems.
We aim to develop a sanitation research facility called the Sanitation Hub. It is here that engineers will invent and test new sanitation products and technologies that are designed to meet our communities’ sanitation needs. We also support sanitation businesses like masons and pit latrine emptiers, connecting them to new Sanitation Hub technologies and providing them with business support.
IWU also trains teachers and school health clubs on proper water, sanitation, and hygiene practices, as well as menstrual hygiene management. We have also intend to start installing rainwater catchment systems in schools for water reuse.

Tank and Pond Building
Game Ranch Management has the experience necessary to complete a tank, pond or lake for your ranch needs. Our desire is to meet you needs and get the work done as quickly as possible to get you underway in little or no time at all. Mnay people have ask similar questions when starting a dozer project, and we will work with you to make sure that your questions are answered..
If you are going to build a tank, pond or lake this project requires a considerable amount of planning before construction is started. The type of soil, amount of run-off, type and size of machine, and operator experience are all factors in the outcome of your project. Good clay soil is best to hold water. In most soil structures there will be top soil, clay or clay mixed with sand. Sometimes as you dig deeper a layer of rock, sand, or gravel will be found. If you and your contractor have done proper research (and you have an experienced operator) these variable issues can be overcome and you will end up with a great looking pond/lake that will hold water.

Unvented pressurised hot water cylinders sometimes called ‘Megaflo’ cylinders store water supplied directly from the mains water supply and essentially act as a hot water storage cylinder, whereas vented cylinders are directly connected to the cold water storage tank that is usually held within the loft in most homes.
Unvented cylinders heat water using electrical heating elements or heat directly from the boiler or can be configured to work with solar thermal.
The pressurised hot water cylinders store water at relatively high pressures; they are therefore able to supply water at similar pressures to the cold water supply. The increased pressures also make for better quality showers, without the need for pumps. With both hot and cold water services fed from the mains, there is no more need for a cold water storage tank, keeping loft spaces clear, and pipe work to a minimum.
This type of mains pressure cylinder is becoming more and more popular in the UK, with more homeowners requiring mains pressure hot water as standard.
Be sure to check that anyone who installs or works on your unvented hot water cylinder holds the correct qualifications. It is not just the Law, but due to the nature of unvented hot water cylinders, and the properties of pressurised systems, it is a matter of safety. Note: Worcester Bosch are currently offering a 10 year guarantee on a boiler, filter and cylinder installation.

In the actual production process, the valve is one of the most important core links and components in industrial production. However, in many civil valve applications, general-purpose valves show great advantages. For example, in urban construction and management projects, a large number of sewage management, a large number of resource management, and the construction of civil facilities also require a lot of valves. There are also many general-purpose valve products for industry and civil use, with obvious Special features. According to the needs of different media, the durability and anti-corrosion characteristics of civil valve products are very demanding, and are directly related to people’s life safety.
Valve manufacturers adjust the production direction according to the needs of the market. In the practice of continuous innovation and development, they show more professional vitality and characteristics, which meet the actual needs of the public.

The Board of Building Regulation and Standards (BBRS) is holding a hearing for public comments about potential changes in the building codes in MA.
Mass Climate Action Network (MCAN) is using this opportunity to continue our fight to make building codes better for everyone – which starts with advocating for a Net Zero stretch code in Massachusetts. A Net Zero building code is not only an important step towards achieving our climate goals, but will also make buildings safer, more comfortable, and more equitable for communities across the Commonwealth.
Whether you’re a climate activist or a town official passionate about changing the way we build buildings for the better, the BBRS needs to hear why a Net Zero code is crucial for your community.
To Submit your own letter to the BBRS in support of a Net Zero Stretch Code, contact Rebecca at email@example.com.

Gone Virtual Studios can take 2D plans and elevations, in multiple file formats, and create hi-res 3D architectural renderings. Our capabilities exceed typical building perspective and elevation shots. 3D floor plans, roof peals, and 3d sections are all options when it comes to visualizing your building. All our images can be printed up to 3 feet wide and can be delivered in multiple file formats.
Sometimes it is hard for clients to visualize their buildings with 2D plans and 3D renderings. Animations help orient the viewer as we take them virtually around the exterior and through the interiors of their project. They are able to visualize all aspects of the building: functionality, furnishings, materials and color choices. Only need a 360 of the building exterior? We can do that, too.
Church capital campaign videos combine a Pastor’s message, church member testimonies, and a 3d animation to generate excitement and communicate the vision for the design of the new building or renovation project.

New postgraduate BIM provision in the School of the Built and Natural Environment
The School of the Built and Natural Environment is playing a pivotal role in BIM technologies - particularly the new postgraduate qualification in Building Design Management and BIM
In a recent article published in Building, Steve Lockley, Professor of Building Modelling at Northumbria University, said: “Teaching at the School of the Built and Natural Environment is very connected to industry and there is a very real need for people in this field to have the right level of training in BIM”.
Set to start in September, the new Masters course is targeted at construction industry professionals who want to upgrade their skills to improve project delivery and design management in a BIM enabled future. The BIM Academy’s strong connections with industry and track record of leading edge research should ensure the course aligns with the most up to date and relevant technologies and processes.
