EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING IN AUSTRALIA BEFORE MECKERING AND AFTER NEWCASTLE by Charles Bubb BE‚ DIC (Eng. Seis.)‚ FIEAust‚ CPEng SUMMARY Earthquake Engineering in Australia‚ as elsewhere‚ has been formulated in the aftermath of damaging earthquakes. The first Australian Code AS2121-1979 was written and published after the 1968 Meckering WA earthquake. The second AS1170.4 1993 was published after the 1989 Newcastle NSW earthquake. Good quality Building Codes are a necessary basis for sound earthquake

Caleb Madison ENG 101 10/3/13 Argumentative Essay From fire to light bulbs‚ and pagers to smart-phones‚ humans have always sought progress. The average person can agree that most new things are for the better. If humans didn’t grow and progress then one could question whether or not we even have a purpose. One thing that humans have lacked the necessary progression in is the place that homosexuals have in society. Same-sex marriage has recently begun to be legalized by several states. At this

Genetic engineering is a powerful and potentially very dangerous tool. To alter the sequence of nucleotides of the DNA that code for the structure of a complex living organism‚ can have extremely ill effects although the potential benefits can be huge. Before advances in genetic applications‚ gene therapy was unheard of and genetic defects were always inherited‚ plaguing generations. Today genetic testing is widely available‚ such as prenatal karyotyping of chromosomes to check for genetic abnormalities

F40 BMA Tutorial 4 1. A man is driving at 120 km/h along a straight road and he looks to the side for 2.0 s‚ how far does he travel during this inattentive period? [66.7 m] 2. A horse canters away from its trainer in a straight line‚ moving 160 m away in 17.0 s. It then turns abruptly and gallops halfway back in 6.8 s. Calculate (a) its average speed and (b) its average velocity for the entire trip‚ using “away from the trainer” as the positive direction. [10.1 m/s; 3.36 m/s]

answer you that I am now aiming to be an engineer or I want engineering to be my career. You may have different reactions when I say that but it is just a matter of choice and all of us are have that right. To be an engineer‚ I must study the prerequisites of entering college. First‚ I should finish my high school and then enroll in a university or college and acquire an engineering course‚ a mechanical‚ industrial or civil engineering may do. Anyway‚ engineers abide by a simple law and the only
