Abstract:
This article examines contests over improving the municipal waterfront in New York during the Gilded Age, and it uncovers the hidden history of Thirteenth Avenue. To maintain its commercial prominence and competitive edge, New York established the Department of Docks in 1870, granting it the authority to manage maritime trade and oversee the redesign and modernization of the city's wharves and piers. Debates about how a modern industrial and commercial waterfront should look centered on new ideas about the aesthetic economy of cities. Business and civic leaders believed that the beauty of the built environment could be leveraged as an asset to attract commerce and industrial investment. But these debates about improving the industrial waterfront ultimately pitted business interests against maritime labor and local manufacturers. Thirteenth Avenue was a small-scale industrial district on the far edge of Greenwich Village that stood in the way of the lucrative transatlantic steamship trade. Siding with mercantile interests over those of small manufacturers, the city condemned Thirteenth Avenue in the 1890s and reclaimed it for the Hudson River to make way for the Chelsea Piers. These elaborate Beaux-Arts piers served as an aesthetic frame for New York City, but they also reflected the unequal dynamics of municipal planning and politics at the turn of the twentieth century.

Abstract:
Even though concrete is considered to be durable, the environment to which the concrete is exposed plays an important role in its durability. The durability of concrete is challenged due to its porous nature, which is especially important in harsh exposure conditions such as marine environment. The reinforced concrete elements of marine structures such as bridges, wharves, docks, etc. are subjected to various types of exposures such as wetting and drying action [WDA], fully submerged condition, and in contact with chlorides. To refine the pore structure of concrete and to improve the durability characteristics of such structures, it is essential to use high performance concrete [HPC]. In this study, metakaolin [MK] is used as partial replacement of cement to produce HPC. The use of metakaolin is found to be very effective in reducing the porosity of concrete. As the porosity of concrete decreases, the corrosion rate can be reduced considerably. The durability characteristics of metakaolin-incorporated HPC is studied for 365 days to investigate the changes in its pore structure in long term. The iCOR® NDT method is used to find the corrosion performance and concrete resistivity of high performance metakaolin concrete under a simulated wetting and drying action [WDA] of seawater over several periods. The deterioration effect caused by the simulated WDA of seawater is also studied by considering the bond strength of specimens subjected to normal and corrosive exposure conditions.

Abstract:
The recently considered concepts for a wharf development identified a number of options, including conventional wharf topside modules on steel tubular piled foundations, steel-jacket-type modules anchored to the seabed, concrete caissons, and a hybrid wharf substructure with a Gravity Base Structure (GBS) connected into a steel jacket sub-frame. Due to the unprecedented demand for site-based skilled labour and a marine construction plant on the Australian coast from numerous major resource projects, further consideration was given to the pre-assembled hybrid wharf alternative and the associated cost, fabrication yard availability, and transport issues. To overcome the potential limits and risks of constructing and sea-towing a concrete base structure, the preferred option is to use a multi-cell steel base instead of concrete. The GBS method of construction is to use mature technology in the offshore oil and gas industry and can take advantage of modularisation of the substructure and topsides by fully fitting out larger units in overseas fabrication yards. For alternate wharf applications, the GBS has the potential of allowing pre-assembly and pre-commissioning of equipment and systems, or the ability to enhance the substructure installation in readiness for topsides installation (either floatover integral topsides or modular lift). It also opens up a wide choice of existing fabrication yards and shops in China or Korea that either fabricate wharf or jacket substructure components now, or are in close proximity to existing loading-dock facilities. This can result in considerable schedule and cost savings by reducing site (offshore) labour and plant costs.

Abstract:
The Port of Salina Cruz, in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico is entirely artificial. It consists of an outer harbor and a basin divided by two large wharves on which stand six double warehouses. For a time, jurisdiction on this port was equally divided between the Administration of Free Ports and the Federal Fiscal Authorities, but at present, by Presidential decree, the entire port is under our Free Ports Administration. On the west end of the outer harbor, a dry dock able to handle boats up to 18,000 tons has been operating since it was built. On the same side of the outer harbor, terminal installations of Petroleos Mexicanos handle all shipments of crude oil and gasoline for the Pacific Coast of the country.

Abstract:
Ancient Ports played an important role in overseas trade and also thereby spreading of Dravidian cultural to vast areas. Majority of the rivers of India and their distributaries are suitable for navigation and ports developed along the estuarine mouths.one such port is Poompuhar which is located in mouth of river Cauvery. This city is said to have been swallowed by sea. Many sangam literature has described about this important chola mandala port as a busy overseas trade centre. Since there is sudden extinction of this port, this paper deals with various inshore and offshore findings and thereby by confirms that the Dravidian rich cultural heritage port has been partly submerged under the sea. Also through this it has been confirmed that the ancient seafarers had a knowledge of how to construct docks, wharfs, reservoirs and buildings at various port cities. Monsoon also plays an important role in the daily life of the people of South Asia. Use of the monsoon wind in the Indian Ocean for maritime trade was a boon to sailing ships to reach overseas countries. Archaeological and historical evidence indicates that Poompuhar is one of the oldest port and icon to Dravidian civilisation.

Abstract:
Abstract In the spring of 1868, residents of a small town in upstate New York witnessed a momentous event in the life of their community. In early June, canal boats that had started their journey days before on the thriving wharves of Brooklyn, floated gently to a dock on the south bank of the Chemung River, in Corning. In a narrow valley, workers unloaded equipment never before seen in this area: glassmaking molds, clay pots, parts of furnaces, and blowing rods. Along with a vast number of locally made bricks, these components would prove the basis of the Corning Flint Glass Works, which would begin operation a few months later on this riverside site.

Abstract:
This chapter presents the status of research and institutionalization of the underwater and coastal cultural heritage of the port city of Buenos Aires. For this purpose, the environmental information and characteristics of the archaeological landscapes surveyed between 1995 and 2019 in excavations carried out in lands "gained from the river" on different parts of the city are presented in a synthetic way. The text begins with a description of the environmental and historical characteristics of the city's coastal sedimentary substrates, natural anchorages and shelters. That is followed by the background and state of the question of archeological investigations, in order to set the basis for the ontological and methodological framework of the work on a regional scale. We continue with the presentation of the materials and archaeological assemblages which were surveyed in order to analyze the variability of sites and the diversity of artifactual functions. The results of the analysis are presented and discussed on a regional scale and chronology, considering the archaeological visibility of coastal embankments, old docks and wharfs, anchorages, sectors with ballast or hides, shipwrecks, barracks and shipyards.
