Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to find out the determining role and basic content of geospatial support of legendary airline Alaska – Siberia in the period of Great Patriotic War (1941–1945), its scientific and practical foundations, created in the period of prewar development of domestic geodesy, its organization structures, ensuring proper level of topographic and geodetic territorial knowledge of the country, and also scientific and industrial culture of its development. One of the most important objects of geo-spatial support in the prewar and initial period of the Second World War was the Alaska-Siberia transcontinental air bridge, which became the result and symbol of the military cooperation between the USSR and the USA, which delivered in the period 1942–1945 to Soviet Air Force about 10 thousand fighters, bombers and transport aircrafts, which played a huge and victorious role in the Second World War. The prewar achievements of Soviet geodesy and cartography in the field of topographic and geodetic knowledge of the country, minimization of "white spots" in the areas of the future air route, problems and solutions in relation to surveys, design and construction of airfields, which determined the required network of AlSib nodal points, are characterized. A number of names of participants in the creation of the route have been identified, among which, in particular, Safronov Sergey Niko-laevich, a surveyor engineer, later a well-known teacher and scientist, associate professor of NIIGAiK – SSGA, now SSUGT, was named.

Abstract:
In the 1930s New Zealand was yet to invest in inner-city living via large scale apartment buildings. Few examples of flats existed. A. Sinclair O'Connor's Courtville (1914-19) at the corner Waterloo Quadrant and Parliament Street, Auckland, and Francis Petre's Manor Place Flats in Dunedin were exceptions to conventional living. In the 1930s greater interest was shown in the design of inner-city apartments – most famously by the Department of Housing Construction's Berhampore Flats, Adelaide Rd (Wellington, Gordon Wilson, 1938-40), and Symonds Street Flats, Symonds Street (Auckland, Friedrich Neumann, 1939-47), anticipating their 1940s work: the Dixon Street Flats, Dixon Street (Wellington, 1940-44), the Maclean Flats, The Terrace (Wellington, 1943-44), the Hanson Street Flats, Newtown (1943-44), and the Greys Avenue Flats, Greys Avenue (Auckland, 1945-47). [NEW PARAGRAPH] In Wellington, Edmund Anscombe dominated the design of privately funded inner city flats, designing six art-deco/modernistic apartments during this time: Belvedere, Hamilton Flats, Olympus, Linfield, Alberts Flats and Franconia. This paper examines these apartments in the context of Anscombe's comments on house design, and housing, and his 1936 proposal to replan the area of Adelaide Road as a residential area to accommodate superblocks of high rise apartments.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The justifications for public expenditure on accelerator laboratories that high energy physicists deployed over the course of the Cold War are examined.It is shown how legitimization in terms of Cold War economic and national security aims was rendered ineffective during the 1960s anti-science movements. As a consequence high energy physicists framed a response that emphasized the elegance and cultural value of their work. Their story vaunted universal and fundamental concepts that could be appreciated by even an anti-scientific audience. In particular, the concept of ““symmetry,”” which had become a powerful tool of high energy physics, was utilized to communicate the aesthetic qualities toward which the physicists aspired. Robert Wilson realized this vision in his design and successful construction and operation of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (1967-1974). During the 1980s, renewed Cold War tensions, string theory, and challenges from condensed matter physicists fragmented the physics community and broke down the high energy physicists' symmetry narrative. The multiplicity of competing stories about fundamental physics that resulted are considered as one cause of the 1993 cancellation of the Superconducting Super Collider.

Full text
Abstract:
Le design d'autobus est une recherche sur les évolutions et les progrès techniques des autobus en France, comme un moyen de transport en commun. Quatre époques ont été abordées. 1) l'époque de la "substitution" (1905-23), à laquelle l'autobus à moteur à essence apparaissait et créait la première génération d'autobus. Le progrès du moteur à cylindre a bien influencé sur la naissance de cette génération. 2) l'époque du "perfectionnement" (1925-39), à laquelle l'autobus français commençait à spécifier et trouver sa place dans le système de transport collectif. La réalisation des nouveaux chassis et carosseries donnait un nouvel essor aux autobus de sortir de sa phase expérimentale et artisanale. 3) L'époque de la "transition" (1948-60), c'est pendant cette période que se mettaient en place les bases l'autobus standard, durant laquelle l'autobus français était en route vers une unification : moteur diesel, embrayage hydraulique, caisse entièrement fermée. , etc. . . Sont les caractérisitques des autobus de cette époque. 4) l'époque de la "standardisation" et de la" modernisation" (1964-88), à laquelle l'autobus standard voi le jour. A cette époque, l'autobus français entre dans une phase de la standardisation e d'unification des modèles d'autobus. Ce mouvement va jusqu'au monomodèlisme dans l'industrie d'autobus avec l'apparition de l'autobus R312 en 1987. Ces évolutions techniques pour l'autobus français ne pouvaient être réalisées sans une bonne relaion enre les exploitants et les constructeurs d'autobus pour répondre aux exigences des voyageurs.

Abstract:
Le XXe siècle est un siècle de mutations, à la fois dans la conception des espaces et dans la novation technique. Les matériaux et les procédés de mise en œuvre se développent, issus de recherches scientifiques et d’applications industrielles. Il se joue alors une transformation matérielle et culturelle de la société par l’architecture, où la novation technique cohabite avec les méthodes de construction traditionnelle, où les nouvelles constructions dialoguent avec les édifices du passé. Comment un matériau ancestral, donné par le site, appartenant à l’histoire du lieu, est-il réinvesti dans la conception architecturale nouvelle, dans un contexte culturel, économique et industriel spécifique ? Appliqué au Midi toulousain, comment la brique de terre cuite a-t-elle perduré et a-t-elle été réinvestie dans des projets contemporains durant le XXe siècle ? La thèse de doctorat en architecture se propose de répondre à cette problématique au travers de la novation de la brique de terre cuite en Midi toulousain, dans l’entre-deux-guerres élargi, 1910-1947. Cette période présente des contextes ambivalents voire duels : une production entre industrielle, semi-industrielle et artisanale, un contexte culturel entre aspirations modernes, et nouvelles, et régionalisme, et repli sur soi, et un contexte architectural qui oscille aussi entre nouveaux matériaux, avec l’usage croissant du ciment armé, et matériaux rustiques et bruts hérités de la tradition. La question de recherche que la thèse entend développer est la suivante : dans le Midi toulousain, où la brique est couramment employée depuis l’Antiquité, comment s’exprime, dans l’entre-deux-guerres, les valeurs de modernité et de nouveauté dans les projets des architectes ?
The 20th century was a century of change, both in terms of spatial design and in terms of technical innovation. Materials and their utilization processes for evolved through scientific research and industrial application. Overall, a material and cultural transformation was taking place, with technical innovation coexisting with traditional construction methods, and with new constructions in constant dialogue with buildings from the past. Following these observations, a number of questions emerges: How is an ancestral material, given by the site and belonging to the history of the place, reinvested in the new architectural design; more so, in a particular cultural, economic and industrial context? Looking at the context of the Midi Toulousain, how did the terracotta brick persist and get reinvested in contemporary projects during the 20th century? This doctoral thesis in Architecture attempts to respond to these questions through an exploration of the innovation around the terracotta brick in the Midi Toulousain, in the enlarged interwar period between 1910 and1947 – r a period of several contradictions: : a production situated between industrial, semi-industrial and craftsmanship; a cultural context situated between modern aspirations, , and regional, inwards with drawl; , an architectural context that oscillates between new materials, with the increasing use of reinforced cement, and rustic,raw materials inherited from tradition. The research question of the thesis is as follows: in the Midi Toulousain, where the terracotta brick has been widely used since the Antiquity, how is modernity and novelty expressed in architectural projects of the architects in the interwar period?

Full text
Abstract:
Research on the American residential garage from 1900 to 1940 has demonstrated that the following factors impacted garage design: the practical demands of the automobile, architectural styles, placement on a lot, and the socio-economic status of the garage builder. The shape and function of garages were dictated by the maintenance requirements of automobiles and the fire hazards associated with early cars. Architectural styles affected garage design by influencing the materials, roof shapes, and door designs of a given garage. These effects were more evident in garages designed to match an individual house. Catalog garages were shaped by current architectural styles, but these garages were simpler in order to be compatible with a wide range of house styles. Garage placement affected several aspects of garage design including amenities such as electricity and plumbing. Placement was also determined by external factors such as lot size and local zoning regulations. The socio-economic status of a homeowner molded a garage's appearance significantly. Economic considerations impacted garage design by resulting in anything from a simple wooden box with a roof to a two-story brick garage with an apartment.

Full text
Abstract:
An automated procedure for designing minimum-weight composite plates subject to a local damage constraint under tensile and compressive loadings has been developed. A strain based criterion was used to obtain fracture toughness of cracked plates under tension. Results of an experimental investigation of the effects of simulated through-the-thickness cracks on the buckling, postbuckling, and failure characteristics of composite flat plates are presented. A model for kinking failure of fibers at the crack tip was developed - for compression loadings. A finite element program based on linear elastic fracture mechanics for calculating stress intensity factor (SIF) was incorporated in the design cycle. A general purpose mathematical optimization algorithm was used for the weight minimization. Analytical sensitivity derivatives of the SIF, obtained by employing the adjoint variable technique, were used to enhance the computational efficiency of the procedure. Design results for both unstiffened and stiffened plates are presented.

Full text
Abstract:
Au croisement des champs du design graphique, des visual studies, et de l’épistémologie, cette thèse interroge la dimension politique du regard, au travers d’une histoire critique de la modernité en design graphique. Empruntant à Bruno Latour ou Philippe Descola, cette histoire permet de faire apparaître comment le design graphique s’est constitué, à l’époque moderne, comme discipline consacrée au travail de la représentation. À l’image des sciences, le visible a lui aussi fait l’objet d’un « Grand partage », contribuant à construire et à structurer notre espace visuel, en imprégnant le regard moderne de ses préjugés et de ses inclinations. Les catégories qui se présentent alors sous une forme visuelle semblent bien pouvoir, par la métaphore, recouvrir des distinctions épistémologiques plus fondamentales, permettant d’une certaine manière de considérer que les principes de vision (les manières de voir) sont aussi des principes de division (des manières de comprendre et de connaître)
From the intersection of the fields of graphic design, visual studies and epistemology, this thesis explores the political dimension of the gaze through a critical reading of modernity in graphic design. In this history, which borrows from Bruno Latour and Philippe Descola, graphic design emerges as a discipline that, in the modern period, has been devoted to the work of representing. Like the sciences, the visible has been subjected to a “Great Divide,” which has participated in how our visual space is constructed and structured by imbuing the modern gaze with its biases and inclinations. Categories that now appear in visual form seem to be able, through metaphor, to contain more fundamental epistemological distinctions. They also allow us to see how the principles of vision (ways of seeing) are in some sense also principles of division (ways of knowing and understanding)

Full text
Abstract:
As the modernising Irish state sought to project a positive image of post-war Ireland, a paradox emerged: how could the symbolism of national distinctiveness (heretofore synonymous with the past) be reconciled with modernity? This thesis outlines the role which graphic design played in attempts to resolve tensions between the national and the modern. The thesis examines how design was mobilised as a symbol and agent of modernisation in Ireland in the run-up to and immediate aftermath of the 1958 ‘Programme for Economic Expansion’, widely considered to be the manifestation of an explicit state-led programme of modernisation. It examines the gradual replacement of the outward symbols of Republican Nationalism with a pervasive symbolism of modern efficiency, suggesting that this was a visual manifestation of the drive towards ‘organisation’ and rational management that gripped the civil service. It examines the paradoxical situation whereby designers in Ireland sought to present themselves and the nation as modern and professional, while the Irish Trade Board (charged with both design and export promotion) looked to professional designers abroad to present Ireland and her exports as traditional. Central to this discussion is the critique by designers (particularly those associated with Ireland’s first professional body, the Institute of Creative Advertising and Design) of so-called ‘Stage Irish’ versions of national image-making. An examination of their work and writings provides evidence for a series of alternative visual strategies for being Irish and modern —often quoting Celtic and early-Christian artefacts in otherwise modernist settings— which I have termed ‘Celtic modernism.’ From the early 1950s onwards, debates over ‘tradition’ and ‘modernisation’ were given visible form in the contentious issue of which letterform to use for the Irish language: ‘roman’ or ‘Gaelic’. This culminated in 1965 in the decommissioning of the Irish alphabet – at which point typography, that most everyday and habitually overlooked of visual material, became briefly visible and highly charged. The final section of the thesis focuses on the relationship between language, typography and identity. It argues that the debates about language reform in the mid twentieth- century led to a reconsideration of the variety of ways of ‘being Irish’ typographically and that the ‘Celtic’ associations of the uncial letter in particular offered potential for the negotiation of tradition and modernity. The thesis concludes that design in Ireland was presented as a means and a metaphor of modernisation. It attempts through an examination of a range of design examples, to follow Roland Barthes’s injunction to ‘track down in the decorative display of what- goes-without-saying’ the ideological constructions hidden in plain sight.

Full text
Abstract:
Ce projet étudie le processus de la construction du savoir dans six romans et quelques nouvelles de Louise Erdrich, écrivain contemporain d’origine amérindienne (Ojibwa). L’analyse des mécanismes par lesquels le texte guide l’activité interprétative permet d’identifier la présence d’un ensemble de stratégies de brouillage qui semblent faire obstacle à l’interprétation. Aussi troublante soit-elle, cette esthétique du dépaysement force le lecteur à s’interroger sur l’état et la pertinence de ses connaissances et de ses méthodes de lecture. Guidée par le regard réaliste magique, l’insolence du discours comique et par un ensemble de figures de fusion, l’activité interprétative est amenée à explorer l’espace hybride qu’est l’écart, et ainsi à comprendre ce qui se joue dans la rencontre de divers codes culturels. La poétique du lien permet alors de discerner la présence d’un vaste réseau de relations fonctionnant sur les principes du rhizome. C’est en effet ce modèle complexe qui régit la mythopoétique mise en place par la fiction d’Erdrich, et permet de saisir la définition de l’identité culturelle amérindienne qu’elle propose. C’est aussi lui qui commande sa réflexion métatextuelle et la définition qu’elle offre de sa propre identité artistique
This project analyses the process of the construction of knowledge in some fictional works by Native American (Ojibwa) writer, Louise Erdrich. The study of the mechanisms by which her fictions guide the readers’ interpretative activity underscores the presence of a number of strategies aimed, as it seems, at leading them to question the state and relevance of their knowledge and approach to the text. In the meantime, the use of magic realism, comic discourse and a number of rhetorical and epistemic figures tends to highlight the necessity for readers to draw links in order to have access to the epistemology of the text and of the reality it features. The materialisation of such links helps shape a vast network of relationships functioning on the principles of the rhizome. The rhizome becomes an appropriate epistemological model giving access to the mythopoeic dimension of Erdrich’s fiction, to its conception of Native American cultural identity, and to the definition of its own artistic identity. Theories drawn from pragmatics, semiotics and epistemological criticism nourish this analysis which also implies a reflection on such issues as hybridity, History, myth, orality, intertextuality, metatextuality and postcolonialism

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to investigate the techniques and payoffs of integrated aircraft design. Lifting line theory and beam theory are used for the analysis of the aerodynamics and the structures of a composite sailplane wing. The wing is described by 33 - 34 design variables which involve the planform geometry, the twist distribution, and thicknesses of the spar caps, spar webs, and the skin at various stations along the wing. The wing design must satisfy 30 â 31 aeroelastic, structural, aerodynamic, and performance constraints.

Two design procedures are investigated. The first, referred to as the iterative, sequential procedure, involves optimizing the aerodynamic design for maximum average cross-country speed at E1 constant structural weight, and then optimizing the the structural design of the resulting wing geometry for minimum weight. This value is then used in another aerodynamic optimization, and the process continues iteratively until the weight converges. The other procedure, the integrated one, simultaneously optimizes the aerodynamic and the structural design variables for either maximum average cross-country speed or minimum weight.

The integrated procedure was able to improve the value of the objective function obtained by the iterative procedure in all cases.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Study Group for a GeV-scale Proton Synchrotron was launched in 1952 at CERN. Initially, an up-scaled version of the 3 GeV Cosmotron was considered but soon a new design based on the newly discovered alternating-gradient principle and promising a proton energy of 30 GeV was adopted by the CERN Council in the same year. In order to limit cost the energy was subsequently limited to 25 GeV and the project led by J.B. Adams was approved in 1953. The final parameters were fixed in 1954 and construction started in 1955. The CPS [1] became operational towards the end of 1959 reaching an energy of 28 GeV [2, 3]. It has turned out to be an extremely versatile facility [4] (Table 10.1).

Abstract:
AbstractAiming at the volute area concrete structure design requirements for PX combined pump room of HUALONG, the high performance concrete with wonderful property resistance to harmful ion erosion was made by optimization design. The strength grade of the concrete is CF50. Based on experimental result, its slump was 195 mm, its compressive strength was 60.9 MPa with the chloride ion permeability coefficient was 3.6 × 10−12 m2/s at twenty-eight days, and the restrained expansion rate was 2.7 × 10–4 with the dry shrinkage rate was 1.3 × 10–4. All the technical indexes conform to the design and construction requirements. Verified by engineering application, concrete compressive strength during continuous production period was according to the evaluation criteria of GB/T 50107-2010. And the standard deviations were only 1.64 MPa. It indicates that the concrete quality is stable and controlled.

Abstract:
The prices for ferrous (Fe) and non-ferrous metals (NFM) reclaimed from the ash at waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities continue to increase. As a result, existing WTE plants are installing metals recovery systems (MRS) to capture most of these metals. These systems provide increased revenues to the facility, increased facility recycling rates, and a decrease in the quantity of ash disposed of at a sanitary landfill. This paper will review MRS economics and the permitting, design, equipment purchase, construction, and startup (where applicable) of these systems at three WTE facilities.

Abstract:
<p>The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey carries the new Malkara-Çanakkale Motorway across the Dardanelles strait. This paper describes the design of the substructure of the suspension bridge, which has a world record main span of 2023 m. The substructure consists of the two tower foundations, the two anchor blocks and the two side span piers.</p><p>The paper describes design to achieve fast-track construction and resilient structures with optimized material quantities. For the tower foundations an innovative solution consisting of a lower cellular reinforced concrete base and an upper part consisting of two hollow composite steel shafts which extends above water level have been developed. Critical temporary construction stages, including the immersion process, ship impact, and seismic loadings, call for complex structural analysis and verification.</p><p>For the anchor blocks efficient concepts have been developed to optimize quantities of concrete and excavation. At the European side this is done by taking advantage of the local soil conditions and activating the backfill on top of the anchor block as counterweight and at the Asian side anchor block an innovative concept with diaphragm panels at the bottom of the anchor block has been developed to enhance the horizontal shear resistance with the ground.</p><p>For the side span piers supporting the ends of the main steel bridge deck and the concrete girders of the approach bridges soft soil and seismic forces requires deep bored concrete pile foundations with special measures for improved soil in the upper liquefiable layers.</p>

Abstract:
<p>The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge stretches the boundaries of what has previously been achieved for suspension bridges. To ensure a safe, reliable and fast-track construction, detailed global analyses of tower, cable and deck construction were performed by the Independent Design Verifier (IDV). Modelling and simulation of all construction stages, including a detailed model of the catwalk, is a far more complex and complicated task than analysing the completed bridge. The completed bridge analysis model was extended by adding thousands of elements representing cranes, temporary cross beams, bents, pullback cables, catwalk, temporary deck joints, and temporary hangers, among others. To effectively handle the large number of element activations and deactivations and adjustments of hangers and joints throughout the construction process, the analysis setup was automated by extensive use of TCL and Python programming. At the end, a total of 183 construction stages were defined, which were analysed in two batches. The first 31 stages were simulating the tower erection, while the following 152 stages started by catwalk rope installation and ended by applying long-term settlements.</p><p>In addition to provide a comprehensive verification of the construction engineering and identifying possible issues at an early stage, the IDV was also able to provide the contractor enhanced understanding of the bridge behaviour during construction. The value of independent analysis contributed significantly to the structural safety and risk reduction for the construction activities.</p>

Abstract:
<p>Detailed design of 1915 Çanakkale Bridge posed a number of challenges and called for innovative engineering decisions and design to determine the best possible bridge arrangement under these circumstances. The geology along the bridge alignment ranging from very soft rock to complex soft soil conditions imposed tremendous challenges to the bridge design and resulted in the special layout where anchor blocks are moved away from the shoreline to reach competent soils. With a world record main span of 2023 m crossing the windy Çanakkale Strait significant design challenges for aerodynamics had to be dealt with. To achieve a wind-resistant design the long slender stiffening girder of the bridge is designed as a twin-box steel girder and for all elements great effort was put into analysis of the aerodynamic performance of the bridge and verification of the safety of the bridge by wind tunnel tests. Another challenge related to very dense ship traffic of Çanakkale Strait calling for robust design accommodating accidental ship collision loads. Further, the bridge is situated in a seismically active region and strict requirements from the Owner in this regard affected the design significantly. However, the ultimate design challenge was time. Bridge design and construction was to be completed within only 5 years impacting also the need for innovative solutions for fast construction.</p>

Abstract:
Grade 550 (X80) pipeline steels are now the basis of a standard platform for the design and construction of large-diameter pipeline projects at NOVA Gas Transmission (NGT). Their introduction in 1995 and further application in 1997 have provided material savings, provided greater gas flow capacity and fuel gas savings and, once again, shown NGT to be an industry leader in successfully developing and applying new technology in response to business needs. The paper will outline the development of a Canadian capability to supply these steels, discuss design aspects including fracture initiation and arrest and weld/pipe strength mismatch, the overall cost efficient approach to material and weld requirements, and pipeline construction using mechanized welding with mechanized ultrasonic inspection and alternative weld acceptance standards. Future directions at NGT with respect to higher strength steels will also be described.

Abstract:
The U.S. Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) mostly through the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), which requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. This report provides a World War II development history and analysis of 786 buildings, and determinations of eligibility for those buildings, on Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Evaluation of the WWII buildings and landscape concluded that there are too few buildings with integrity to form a cohesive historic district. While the circulation patterns and roads are still intact, the buildings with integrity are scattered throughout the cantonment affecting the historic character of the landscape. Only Building 100 (post headquarters), Building 656 (dental clinic), and Building 550 (fire station) are ELIGIBLE for listing on the NRHP at the national level under Criterion A for their association with World War II temporary building construction (1942-1946) and under Criterion C for their design, construction, and technological innovation.

The US Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, is executing the Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) project for Brazoria, Jefferson, and Orange Counties regions. The project is currently in the Pre-construction, Engineering, and Design phase. This report documents coastal storm water level (SWL) and wave hazards for the Freeport CSRM structures. Coastal SWL and wave loading and overtopping are quantified using high-fidelity hydrodynamic modeling and stochastic simulations. The CSTORM coupled water level and wave modeling system simulated 195 synthetic tropical storms on three relative sea level change scenarios for with- and without-project meshes. Annual exceedance probability (AEP) mean values were reported for the range of 0.2 to 0.001 for peak SWL and wave height (Hm0) along with associated confidence limits. Wave period and mean wave direction associated with Hm0 were also computed. A response-based stochastic simulation approach is applied to compute AEP values for overtopping for levees and overtopping, nappe geometry and combined hydrostatic and hydrodynamic fluid pressures for floodwalls. CSRM crest design elevations are defined based on overtopping rates corresponding to incipient damage. Survivability and resilience are evaluated. A system-wide hazard level assessment was conducted to establish final recommended system-wide elevations.
