What is fracture toughness test?
Ductile vs Brittle Failure modes,
Concentration of Stress at Crack Tip,
Criterion for Crack Propagation,
Crack propagates if crack-tip stress (σm) exceeds a critical stress (σc),
Rate of Fatigue Crack Growth.
The ability of a material to resist the growth or propagation of a pre-existing fault is measured by fracture toughness tests. A fatigue fracture, void, or any other anomaly in the test material could be the flaw or defect. Fracture toughness tests are carried out by machining a test sample with a pre-existing crack and then cyclically applying stresses to each side of the crack to cause it to expand. The cyclic load is applied until the crack in the sample widens. The number of cycles to fracture is kept track of and utilized to assess the fracture development characteristics of the material.
Manufactured materials are not immune to cracks or defects. Our Material Testing fixture designers design lots of types test fixtures that measures the fracture mechanics of both non-ferrous and high-strength ferrous materials to provide manufacturers with valuable information on the allowable stress levels and overall durability of their products.
Types of fracture toughness tests: There are three different mechanisms of fracture for crack propagation in the majority of fracture toughness tests. The applied load in Mode 1 must be in the crack plane's normal direction. In mode 2, the load is applied along the crack plane's length. Finally, in mode 3, the load is delivered across the crack plane's breadth. The test sample can be configured in one of two ways: single edge notch bend (three point bending) or compact tension. The initial crack in a three-point bending specimen is located at the midsection on the opposite side from where the midsection load is applied, with opposing points of force at each end on the same side.
Retrofitmach offers custom designed test fixtures to using for fracture toughness tests according to following test standards:

In my previous article, I had discussed about the AEM program for linear 2D materials that I had written in Python. Although, poisson's ratio was not considered in that program, I found that when elements are compressed (or stretched) diagonally, an intrinsic poisson effect is induced. However, such poisson effect is non existent when elements are compressed (or stretched) orthogonally. This is mainly because when the elements are compressed diagonally, the diagonal displacement induces extra force on the two lateral elements as shown in figure 1.
Note: Element properties used in all of the simulations presented here are:
Young's Modulus (E) = 207 GPa
Shear Modulus (G) = 79.1 GPa
Element Dimension (a by b) = 0.1 m by 0.1 m
Element Thickness (T) = 0.15 m
Load (L) = 1000 kN [each red arrows]
Also in all of the figures presented here, green squares represent undeformed elements and blue squares represent deformed elements. Displacements are magnified 500 times.
Rectangular LatticeFirst let us look at elements arranged in a rectangular lattice. When the elements are subjected to vertical load, no lateral squeezing is found as shown in figure 2. This is as expected because no poisson formulation is applied in this basic AEM program. However, when diagonal loads are applied as shown in figure 3, we can see that the elements squeeze outwards laterally (i.e. in the perpendicular direction to the applied load).
|Figure 2: When elements are arranged in a rectangular lattice, vertical load causes no lateral displacements.
|Figure 3: When elements are arranged in rectangular lattice, diagonal loads (represented by red arrows) cause lateral displacements (represented by black arrows)
Next the elements are arranged in a diagonal lattice. When it is subjected to vertical load we can see the arrangement squeezes out laterally as shown in figure 4. The poisson's ratio is approximately 0.49, which is pretty high compared to typical value of ~0.3 for steel or concrete. However, when diagonal loads are applied on the opposite corners, no lateral squeezing is found (i.e. no displacement in perpendicular direction to the applied load) as shown in figure 5. This is mainly because the load is orthogonal to the element edges.
|Figure 4: When elements are arranged in a diagonal lattice, vertical load causes lateral squeezing. The poisson's ratio is approximately 0.49.

Кратко о книге:
The Eiffel Tower>This book features the iron colossus: the construction of the Eiffel Tower in drawings and photographs. When it was completed in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the highest structure in the world, measuring 300 meters (984 feet). Built for the Worlds Fair, it was initially granted a 20-year permit- this permit was thankfully extended and now the Eiffel Tower is one of the worlds most famous structures, having become practically synonymous with Paris itself and receiving more than six million visitors annually.This reprint explores the design and construction of this remarkable building- published in 1900 as a large folio by Gustave Eiffel himself in a limited edition of 500 copies, the original was never sold on the market - it was exclusively given and donated by Eiffel.
Featuring 53 double-page plates of 4,300 technical drawings explaining the design as well as 33 photographs of the construction, the book reveals the complex and fascinating process of bringing the Eiffel Tower to life.Though the technical drawing will especially appeal to designers wishing to discover the engineering genius behind Eiffels masterpiece, everyone can appreciate this very rare and special book about Paris glorious mascotВы можете скачать The Eiffel Tower на планшет, android, телефон.Доступ к файлу открыт.

This book surveys the latest advances in radial basis function (RBF) meshless collocation methods which emphasis on recent novel kernel RBFs and new numerical schemes for solving partial differential equations. The RBF collocation methods are inherently free of integration and mesh, and avoid tedious mesh generation involved in standard finite element and boundary element methods. This book focuses primarily on the numerical algorithms, engineering applications, and highlights a large class of novel boundary-type RBF meshless collocation methods. These methods have shown a clear edge over the traditional numerical techniques especially for problems involving infinite domain, moving boundary, thin-walled structures, and inverse problems.Due to the rapid development in RBF meshless collocation methods, there is a need to summarize all these new materials so that they are available to scientists, engineers, and graduate students who are interest to apply these newly developed methods for solving real world's problems. This book is intended to meet this need.Prof. Wen Chen and Dr. Zhuo-Jia Fu work at Hohai University. Prof. C.S. Chen works at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Tell the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Protect the Pine Grove Elementary School from a Landfill
Built in 1917 as a Rosenwald School, the two-room Pine Grove Elementary School served its African American agricultural community as a center for education, programs, and Civil Rights activities during the era of segregation. After it closed in 1964, the building was saved twice by Black community leaders, alumni, and descendants of alumni.
However, the proposed construction of a landfill now threatens the Pine Grove Elementary School. According to the Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility, the landfill intends to accept up to 5,000 tons of waste daily and operate 24 hours a day, six days per week. Moreover, the disposal unit will be located within one thousand feet of Pine Grove Elementary School. Advocates believe that the proposed landfill could negatively impact their goal of using the school as a community center.
Send a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers urging them to require a thorough Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate all of the potential impacts to this historic school from the landfill.

|MAKING AND ASSEMBLING FIREBRICKS AT PARAGON|
Kiln bricks, also called fire bricks or refractory bricks, are made from high-temperature ceramic. Typically, bricks are good insulators and are used to line the inside of the kiln, minimising heat loss and reducing energy use.
Kiln bricks can be cut or moulded into different shapes and sizes, as hard bricks or soft bricks. Hard bricks are strong and dense, can withstand extreme temperatures, are largely unaffected by gases in the kiln, and are generally used for structural support. Soft bricks are less dense, are excellent insulators, and are generally used for insulation.
Kiln manufacturers usually use a small range of shapes and sizes assembled in different arrangements. Sometimes, as in a kiln lid, they're cemented together but, as in a kiln body, they're arranged in sections or stacked layers making it easy to replace any damaged ones. The elements in Paragon kilns are in dropped recessed grooves, so don't need retaining pins.
Although butt joints are the simplest, they're not the strongest, so lapped and notched joints are used, as in the third photo. For durability, the meeting edges of a lid and body are hardened with refractory cement, as in the fourth photo.


Gonzalo Camacho, a public engineer and member of the citizen group called the I-45 Coalition, has spent the last three months presenting a plan to local civic groups, city officials and the Texas Department of Transportation that would turn I-45 between Beltway 8 and downtown into a tunnel.
The proposal, Camacho said, would have significantly less negative environmental impact and would create far less disruption for both commuters and neighborhood residents than proposals by TxDOT that call for the creation of four "managed lanes" in the center of I-45.
Camacho first presented his tunnel concept at a public meeting on the proposed highway expansion hosted by state Rep. Jessica Farrar, D-Houston, in April.
Since then, he has met with representatives from TxDOT, the city's planning commission, and community groups like the Downtown Management District to discuss the plan.
Camacho presented his tunnel proposal to Gary Trietsch, district engineer for TxDOT.
Norm Wigington, a spokesman for the transportation department, said TxDOT is incorporating Camacho's ideas into the "citizen input" section of its analysis on what to do with I-45.
"When we get a proposal like this, it's given to our engineers who check to see if it's viable," he said. "We're still looking at several months before we decide what to do."
Last week, Camacho met with about 50 Heights-area residents at the Proctor Plaza Neighborhood Association's monthly meeting.
TxDOT has proposed expanding I-45 to include four lanes down the center of the freeway that would be used as high-occupancy or toll lanes.
According to the department, that concept would reduce the number of cars that use the main lanes of I-45 from what it is saying will be about 270,000 per day by the year 2025 to about 250,000 per day.
About 224,000 cars per day now travel along I-45 between Loop 610 and I-10.
The department has admitted that in order to complete the managed lanes project, it will have to purchase additional right of way along the freeway to expand I-45's shoulders.
People who live close to the freeway are worried the expansion will cost them their homes.
Others, such as Dr. Winifred Hamilton of the Baylor College of Medicine, have said the negative health effects on nearby residents — including students in the 24 schools located within one-half mile of I-45 — that would be caused by expanding the freeway outweigh the positive effects the expansion would have on mobility.
For Camacho, president of Camacho & Associates, a traffic and transportation engineering company, building twin, double-decker tunnels to replace the current I-45 would reduce air pollution, negate the need for the acquisition of right of way, and put Houston at the cutting edge of transportation technology in the country.
"We are so focused on building highways, we forget about building communities," Camacho told Proctor Plaza residents. "If you don't believe this is going to affect you, drive out to I-10 and see how that project has affected the entire community around it.
"The outcome of this proposal, when you add the shoulder expansion, will be that the size of this highway will double."
The longest tunnel
The tunnel would stretch from downtown at U.S. 59 to Greenspoint.
"In traditional construction, you're looking at surface disruption, lane closures, traffic delays and negative economic impact," he said. "Construction on I-10 and (U.S.) 59 has divided neighborhoods. During tunnel construction you've got no surface impact, limited traffic delays, reduced potential for crashes, and no additional right of way purchase.
"You've also got the possibility of added green space and cleaner air."
That cleaner air would come from a filtration system that all tunnels have, Camacho said. By filtering the air, he said 90 percent of the air pollution associated with car exhaust and other fumes would be processed through an above-ground air purification plant — likely more than one for a project this size — that would have to be built.
There would be vents inside the tunnel that would collect the "bad" air, send it up to the plants, where it would be processed and turned into "clean" air.
"The only option that provides air purification," among an at-grade project, a depressed freeway, an elevated freeway and a tunnel, Camacho said, "is the tunnel. Studies have shown significantly higher asthma rates among children, higher cancer rates among all people who live or work or go to school within 1,000 feet of a highway."
Camacho said the recommended depth for tunnel construction is 100 feet. The existing portions of I-45 that are currently below grade are at 23 feet.
While construction on the tunnels takes place, he said the current freeway will be able to remain in use.
And once the project is completed, the current freeway would be able to be used for, among other things, additional green space, hike and bike corridors, roads for local traffic, and a Metro rail that would allow people to travel from Greenspoint to downtown.
He compared the proposed Metro rail line to a similar line in Dallas that runs parallel to the Central Expressway and allows people who live north of downtown Dallas to travel to the inner city using public transportation.
Designed not to flood
"First of all, tunnels are designed not to flood" because of elevated entry- and access-ways, he said. "I-45 is a hurricane evacuation route, but the wet roads lead to traffic delays and a huge increase in the possibility of accidents.
"A tunnel provides dry lanes. The bottom level of the tunnel can also become a drainage tunnel in case of a flooding emergency. Once the flooding ends, you dry out the tunnel and it becomes usable again."
While the majority of the examples of successful tunnel projects Camacho cited were in major European cities such as Munich, Sydney and on the English Channel, he also pointed to tunnel projects in Hampton, Va., and a 2.5-mile tunnel being proposed by the Dallas Department of Transportation in that city.
"This is not a foreign concept," he said.
By comparison, he said an elevated highway would cost about 85 percent more than an at-grade project, and a depressed freeway would cost 40 percent more.
Camacho said a proposal made by the Hines Corp. that would depress I-45 was rejected by TxDOT.
"The (tunnel construction) process would be faster than normal construction, and you can do it without affecting existing traffic," Camacho said, adding that the process would also not have to include utility relocation. "You can build several hundred feet a day.
"What this is is an opportunity to do an analysis and collect data to see if this is a good idea," he added.
"You don't have to move I-45 further into neighborhoods in order to do something effective."


Graffiti Barrier Coating System
Graffiti barrier coating systems serve so many purposes. Most importantly, graffiti barrier coating systems, a five coat clear, spray applied graffiti barrier coating system, will not let graffiti penetrate into the substrate.
The dense, slick graffiti barrier coating protective film, a tough, nonstick surface, keeps the graffiti away from masonry, vinyl or other substrate being protected. Graffiti can easily be removed. The graffiti barrier coating system will allow up to 20 graffiti removals. Typically, after the graffiti barrier coating system has been installed, the tagging stops.
The graffiti barrier coating also has excellent waterproofing capabilities. Wind driven rain, atmospheric or other contamination cannot penetrate into the masonry. It’s completely protected from any water or other intrusion. The graffiti barrier coating system is also breathable and lets moisture from the interior escape through it.
The decorative sheen on the coating system looks good. It allows the masonry/substrate to stay cleaner. It actually repels dirt and other atmospheric contaminants. Applying a graffiti barrier coating system is money well spent in so many ways. We call it asset preservation. Contact McCahill Painting Company for more information about our graffiti barrier coating.

3 Reasons Construction Workers Need High Visibility Clothing
High visibility clothing is essential in countless industries, and for good reason. Without safety clothing companies providing these important garments, workers can be injured or even killed on the job. In fact, 4,836 workers were killed on the job in 2015 alone. That’s an average of 13 deaths every day. Aside from worker injuries and deaths, let’s take a look at exactly why high visibility clothing is so vital, especially in the construction industry.
Industry Standards OSHA and the FHA have a specific standard for high visibility apparel: the American National Standard for High Visibility Safety Apparel and Headwear. This standard establishes three types of safety clothing, which are Type O (off-road), Type R (roadway), and Type P (public safety). In addition, OSHA and FHA standards dictate three different performance classes:
Class 1 – Offers minimum amount of high visibility material, solely to differentiate workers from the off-road environment.
Class 2 – Garment allows for a better definition of the human form, the minimum level of protection for roadway workers.
Class 3 – the highest level of visibility and definition, the garment must be long-sleeved to qualify as this class.
Any company providing high visibility clothing to employees must abide by these standards to keep their workers as safe as possible.
Accident Reduction When construction employees are working in high-traffic areas, visibility is crucial. Whether it’s construction vehicle traffic or pedestrian traffic, any lack of visibility could mean a serious accident. Keeping in line with OSHA and FHA standards, workers must wear the appropriate class of high visibility clothing to ensure maximum visibility and safety.
Weather Protection Weather conditions can seriously diminish visibility, whether it’s day or night. High visibility clothing is great for construction workers on outdoor worksites because drivers can see them whether there is snow, rain, fog, or other low-visibility weather.
Choosing the right gear for your construction site can literally save lives. People die on worksites every day, and protecting these employees is every construction company’s responsibility. For all of your questions about custom safety apparel, contact us today!

Laying of the foundation stone of the church took place in 1956.
The laying of the foundation stone and the topping-out ceremony of the Eibelshausen church took place in 1956. A special feature is that a red sandstone from the demolition of the old Dillenburg parish church was used as the foundation stone. Another remarkable feature is the essentially self-supporting church roof, which is held together by a parabolic steel band. This roof construction was tried out for the first time in Germany at the time.

Asphalt paving scams are available just about everywhere in the nation! You may begin with the particulars of both concrete and asphalt. It is inexpensive and sets within hours.
Clay pavement is extremely flexible and is far better than poured-in-place-concrete in regards to keeping interlocking form. In regards to diversity, clay pavement has a prominent name since they are offered in different colors, textures, and patterns. Whereas concrete driveways comprise of poured concrete above a sub base.
As long as the roof isn't leaking, I bother not its composition! It isn't a solution whenever your driveway needs repairing. There are several varieties of driveway alarms, though all of them serve the same function.

When pavement areas are cracked or eroded, they must be repaired. Asphalt pavement repair should be routinely performed on parking lots, driveways, thoroughfares, and walkways. Asphalt pavement is an outlay that should be maintained and protected. Parking lot repairs make good sense. Why? Read on.
Regular asphalt pavement repairs prevent splits, little holes, break-offs, and cracks from becoming bigger problems, both functionally and aesthetically. No one wants future potholes, large depressions, crevices, or gaps in their pavement.
Without asphalt maintenance and asphalt repairs, these small problems become much bigger ones that must also be addressed. Surface problems are functional nightmares to the vehicles and people that use the pavement. Cars, trucks, forklifts and other equipment can be damaged by bad asphalt pavement. Loads can be damaged, people injured, and the cost of vehicle repairs can mount quickly.
And what about the pavement itself?
Immediate asphalt pavement repairs and parking lot repairs stop small surface problems from becoming deeper base and foundational nightmares. It is easier to repair now as opposed to replacing later, right? Of course, it is.
While practical issues and functionality are generally the number one concern for asphalt areas, but appearance also matters. Pavement is an investment, and the condition of the asphalt affects the value of the premises. I suppose this is simply common sense.
Actual Asphalt Repairs
For asphalt crack repairs, pavement contractors clean out the crack of all debris, dirt, and vegetation growths. This allows sand or other initial fillers to be placed into the cracks evenly, for strength and stability. Next, hot crack filler or cold rubberized crack filler is then added. It must then be cautioned-off, and allowed to dry thoroughly, without traffic atop it.
Pothole repairs are handled just a little differently during parking lot repairs, or asphalt pavement repairs. Asphalt cold patch is usually used. The contractor knows precisely how high to fill the hole, and what compacting and leveling must then be done. It is a combination of basic know-how, experience, and instinct.
Seal Coating Asphalt
Once asphalt has been repaired-sealed and dried, it should be seal coated. Seal coating provides the best surface protection possible, protecting the pavement's integrity and appearance. Blacktop sealcoat is generally used in this protective procedure. It works very well.
Asphalt Maintenance Thereafter
Many companies, firms, and small businesses have regular parking lot and pavement maintenance programs. These involve regularly scheduled inspections, routinely picking up debris, weeding, washing the surface to eliminate oil and gasoline fluid damage, and handling any small erosion problems in-house between asphalt contractor visits.
Take good care of your asphalt, and it will take good care of you or your business. Don't and it won't.

Media filtration is the most efficient, cost effective and widely used method to reduce suspended solids. To ensure the highest possible suspended solids removal rates, a downflow design is of utmost importance and should be the primary design consideration, as there are many particle removal efficiency advantages over upflow designs.
The downflow, continuous moving bed design, which utilizes continuous air scour cleaning of the media, is the only media filter which enables true coarse to fine media stratification. This is required for maximum particle removal efficiency, with proven performance at installations worldwide.
The downflow design can utilize a minimum bed depth of only 40 inches, while maintaining filter bed integrity under higher flow conditions. Whether designed as a package or concrete format, Strata-Sand's gravity operation, combined with absolutely no moving parts, allows for fully automatic operation, minimum maintenance, increased reliability and lower capital costs. A properly designed downflow, continuous operation media filter can achieve less than 2% per year media loss, while producing minimal reject water volumes.
Typical Municipal Application Performance:
- Title 22 Approved
- Turbidity Removal > 90%
- Suspended Solids Removal > 90%
- Effective Particle Filtration 5 micron
- Algae Removal > 90%
- Giardia Cyst reduction > 3 log
- Crypto Oocyst reduction > 3 log
- Phosphorous Removal > 90%
- Denitrification, NO3-N < 1 ppm
- Arsenic particle filtration
- Seawater RO membrane pretreatment
- Brackish RO membrane pretreatment
- Packed bed ion exchange pretreatment
- Cooling tower makeup pretreatment
- Process water filtration
- Wastewater filtration

Transport In Sudan
SUDAN HAS HAD, FOR ALMOST A CENTURY, A DIVERSIFIED TRANSPORT SYSTEM,CONSISTING OF ROAD, RIVER, AND RAIL travel, to which air has been added, and current plans are to continue developing these means of
transport to retain the traditional diversity. Roads constitute a priority area for Sudan and the government has been making considerable progress in expanding the paved road network. Asphalt roads have, over the past 16 years,
increased from 2,456km to 6,500km. All parts of the country, West, South, North, Central, and East have benefited from this massive expansion. Another 50,000 kilometers of road are waiting to be paved and there is yet need for
new roads in this country covering more than 2.5 million square kilometers.
Responsibility for Sudan’s transport sector is divided between three ministries: the Ministry of Roads and Bridges, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of Transport has under its domain
four large state-owned corporations: The Sea Ports Authority, the National Railways Corporation, the National River Authority, and Sudan Shipping Lines.
Sudan’s railroad system, comprising 4,599 km (2,858 mi) of track, links most of the major cities and towns. Supplementing the railroad system is traffic on 5,300 km (3,300 miles) of navigable waterways, in addition to roads. Rail transport carries about 2.5 million tons annually, but plans call for investment sufficient to increase capacity up to 4.5 million tons. Sudan Railway Corporation is interested in having a rail link between Sudan and Ethiopia that
would give the landlocked country of nearly 80 million people direct access to Port Sudan. Rail links with Chad and Central African Republic are also of interest to SRC.
With increased investment and expansion of the economy, the need for a thorough transport network is pressing, while the government’s resources need to be supplemented with investments. Basically, the strategy is to reorganize
the transport sector with privatization and deregulation. As per the privatization law, the government
would retain 25-30% in any privatized operation, but thus far, this arrangement has proved rewarding for both private investors and government, as well as the Sudanese capital markets, where regularly yielding bonds are issued backed by the state’s performing assets.
Urban public transportation is provided by privately owned buses of various sizes, but the 23-seat minibus imported from Asia is the most commonly operated. Small 9-seat buses can be joined at a premium rate, while taxis are generally old and somewhat dilapidated. However, there is a considerable number of car hire services,providing late model luxury vehicles.


The average septic system should be cleaned every two – three years. Many factors determine the frequency of the cleaning, particularly the size of the unit and the frequency of use. Cleaning the septic tank is not optional. Without this cleaning, you may notice sewage backup in the home, horrid odors and a host of other problems. When is it time to call to schedule septic system repair manassas va?
If you notice horrid sewage odors dwindling through the home, it’s time to pick up the phone and call a professional. Schedule septic tank cleaning and they’ll take care of things. Of course, many problems may also arise that cause the need for professional help.
Soggy drain fields cause problems for many homeowners. This is an issue that needs a fast repair. If you have kids or pets in your home, it’s vital that you repair the problem even sooner. Be sure that you also take precautions to protect yourself and prevent injuries around the property.
The cost to repair a septic tank varies. Many providers offer free quotes upon request. Use the estimates to compare costs with three – four provides to secure the best rates for service. Numerous Factors impact the repair cost, including the size of the septic tank, the type of trouble you’re experiencing, and, of course, the company chosen for the job.
Scheduling preventive maintenance is the best way to keep the septic tank in great condition and free from the problems here and others that wreak havoc in the home. Why endure headaches that can so easily be voided with help from professionals? It also keeps costs of repairs low and headaches to a minimum. Don’t ignore the septic tank and face the consequences later.

Transport systems have an essential role in modern society because they facilitate access to natural resources and they stimulate trade. Current studies aimed at improving transport networks by developing new methods for optimization. Because of the increase in the global number of cars, one of the most common problems facing the transport network is congestion. By creating traffic models and simulate them, we can avoid this problem and find appropriate solutions. In this paper we propose a new method for modeling traffic. This method considers road intersections as being service centers. A service center represents a set consisting of a queue followed by one or multiple servers. This model was used to simulate real situations in an urban traffic area. Based on this simulation, we have successfully determined the optimal functioning and we have computed the performance measures.


I took some pictures last week to show you the progress of the Mega Bridge that will eventually cross the Chao Phraya River – twice! As you can see from the picture below, the bridge will be 51 metres high in order to let the big container ships pass safely underneath.
“The bridge will be the longest cable stayed bridge in Thailand. It features two A-shaped towers located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River that combine traditional Thai design and contemporary architecture. As seen from the roadway, the towers are a stylised representation of the traditional Thai greeting where the hands are steepled together in front of the body as the individual bows and utters a greeting. The towers are a symbolic gesture of welcome to visitors of Bangkok.”
What is quite unique about this design is that it crosses the Chao Phraya twice. This is due to a bend in the river. In the middle section there is a giant intersection for people who don’t want to continue over the entire 4.2 km length. Each direction of the bridge will have four lanes.
The bridge will eventually be part of the outer ring road which will also connect with the new Bangkok International Airport at Nong Ngu Hao. Incidently, this is also in Samut Prakan. I will share more pictures with you in the future as the work progresses on this bridge.


Medium Block Submittal – 080826
amphorae is neither block nor cistern, instead it is a hybrid of both that is both structural and functional
The simple block is a vertical extrusion that has a uniform thickness of 1″. The overall dimensions are 27″ x 12″ x 9″. This block is a slight variation of our Simple Block and is the getting closer to our original aspirations for the ampohrae wall cistern unit.

Carol Howe has been helping the water industry and local governments to make the transition to more sustainable water systems. For the last five years she managed the SWITCH project that was guided by two main principles: demand-led research and sustainable, robust, flexible technologies. Central to the research undertaken within SWITCH was that it dealt with two key aspects of sustainability: the challenge of doing more with less and adaptability in the face of uncertain future conditions.
· The final report from this project “Sustainable Water Management in the City of the Future – Findings from the SWITCH project 2006-2011” Howe, C., Butterworth, J., Smout, I.K., Duffy, A., and Vairavamoorthy, K. (2011), UNESCO-IHE, can be found at www.switchurbanwater.eu
· Learning Alliances were key to the success of the project. More on learning alliances can be found in the NOWRA/WEF (2010) report “Learning Alliances – The SWITCH Approach to Catalyse Change” Howe, C and Butterworth, J. on the SWITCH website
· Strategic planning was the foundation for integration. More on this process can be found in “Managing Water in the City of the Future, strategic planning and science” Van der Steen P, Howe C (2009). Reviews in Environmental Science and Biotechnology, 8:115-120
Carol has also been active with the International Water Association’s Cities of the Future (CoF) programme. A key publication from their CoF series that summarise the state of the knowledge in this area is “Water Sensitive Cities” Howe, C. and Mitchell, C (2012) IWA Publishing. For more on CoF see http://www.iwahq.org/3p
Bringing together multiple disciplines to work together in an integrated fashion is always a challenge. Some insights on this topic can be found in“Communicating across the disciplinary divide – are we bridging the gap?” Howe, C., Water Sensitive Cities, IWA, 97-106
Before SWITCH, Carol Howe directed the Australian Government’s (CSIRO's) Urban Water and Future Cities Research programmes that brought together researchers from the water, energy, transport and building sectors to work in a more integrated and holistic fashion. As strategic planning manager for Sydney Water she helped develop the long-term strategic plan for the organisation’s water, wastewater and stormwater assets called “WaterPlan 21”
