Bridge Failure Studies and Safety Engineering 2.1 HISTORY OF DISASTERS AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT 2.1.1 Unexpected Material Deterioration and Failure Engineering is usually about avoiding failures and investigating why failures occur and ways to fix the problem. There is a need to understand the conditions giving rise to past failures and ways to avoid such failures so that loss of life can be minimized. Historical events and selected case stud-ies demonstrate the causes of

NANOFABRICATION AND SCANNING PROBE LITHOGRAPHY Introduction: “Nanofabrication” is the process of making functional structures with arbitrary patterns having minimum dimensions currently defined (more-or-less arbitrarily) to be e100 nm. Microelectronic devices and information technologies have improved and will continue to improve as a result of large-scale‚ commercial implementation of nanofabrication. The motivation for these improvements is to increase the density of components

SE21 p36-42 Ji 29/10/03 3:42 pm Page 36 paper: ji Concepts for designing stiffer structures Synopsis The paper demonstrates concepts for designing stiffer structures. They are: (a) the more direct the internal force path‚ the stiffer the structure; (b) the more uniform the internal force distribution‚ the stiffer the structure; and (c) the smaller the internal forces‚ the stiffer the structure. These concepts are applicable to the design of many structures. Two ways of implementing

DAMS [pic] INTRODUCTION A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water‚ while other structures such as floodgates or levees are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. Hydropower and pumped-storage hydroelectricity are often used in conjunction with dams to provide clean electricity for millions of consumers. It can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can
