CANTILEVER SHEET PILE WALL By Lakshmi Radhakrishnan Email id: lakshmiradhakrish@gmail.com ABSTRACT: A sheet pile wall consists of a series of sheet piles driven side by side into the ground‚ thus forming a continuous vertical wall for the purpose of retaining an earth bank. They are commonly used for: (1) water front structures‚ (2) temporary constructions‚ (3) light weight construction where sub soil is poor for supporting a retaining wall. A sheet pile may be of three types: Cantilever

DISCUSSION Design Concepts for Jib Cranes Paper by JAMES FISHER and STEVEN THOMAS (2nd Q. 2002) Discussion by MICHAEL HEMSTAD I thank the authors for a very thorough and informative article on jib cranes. To this‚ I would add the following regarding maximizing the crane’s effect for column design. For a single jib crane on a column‚ the position of the jib crane resulting in the maximum effect on the column can be calculated as follows. The position of the jib crane is described by the angle

DECO ARTS COMPLIANCE CASE STUDY The existing roof of an art deco house with continuous parapet walls‚ a very low-pitched roof (3°) and a 200 mm wide by 50 mm deep internal gutter draining to an original galvanized steel rainwater head‚ requires re-roofing. The existing roof is bitumen-impregnated membrane roofing which replaced a similar roofing material approximately 30 years ago. There is no insulation or building paper in the roof. | Step 1. Identify the aspects of the proposed design that

A deep foundation is a type of foundation distinguished from shallow foundations by the depth they are embedded into the ground. There are many reasons a geotechnical engineer would recommend a deep foundation over a shallow foundation‚ but some of the common reasons are very large design loads‚ a poor soil at shallow depth‚ or site constraints (like property lines). There are different terms used to describe different types of deep foundations including the pile (which is analogous to a pole)‚

SHEET PILES Sheet Piling is used in cases when- Enclosing a site or part thereof to prevent the escape of loose sub-soil to safeguard against settlement of structure which is to be erected on it. Retaining the side of trenches and generally excavations. Forming cofferdams (watertight enclosures necessary in construction of foundations in water). Their most common use is within temporary deep excavations. They are considered to be most economical where retention of higher earth pressures of soft

The inspiration of nature in design created a movement of Organic Architecture through functionalism and minimalism since the 1800’s influencing some of the greatest architects to emerge. Functionalist architects and artists design utilitarian structures in which the Organic Architecture dictates the development within and moves outward in harmony with its surroundings‚ without regard to such traditional devices as axial symmetry and classical proportions or any other heavy ornamentation.

Structural problem in Romeo and Juliet Harold Bloom observes‚ “With just a few alterations‚ Shakespeare could have transformed Romeo and Juliet into a play as cheerful as A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” (Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human‚ p102) What he means is clear: the tragedy in Romeo and Juliet could have been a comedy with a few changes. This paper is a humble attempt to scrutinize whether the plot of Romeo and Juliet really has any structural problem‚ and if so‚ why did Shakespeare choose
