I. The first structure element of Taipei 101 is its tuned mass damper. As we know‚ earthquake and typhoon always occur in Taipei [Video presentation: effect of earthquake]. On 12 May 2008 a province in China experienced an earthquake which the tremors to be felt in Taiwan. So what is the best way to protect the skyscraper from collapse when the disasters occur? As skyscraper Taipei 101 installs the tuned mass damper insert the building on at level 87th to 91th. A. To ensure the tuned mass damper

for no good reason‚ she had contradicted her own optimism. Voltaire could not understand how in any way it was necessary and beneficial for Madame du Châtelet to die. Another event that solidified his stance was the great Lisbon earthquake of November 1‚ 1755. This earthquake claimed tens of thousands of lives. When Voltaire heard news of innocent children crushed beneath the rubble‚ he responded with a cry of protest against the belief that God directs everything in the world for the best. Leibniz’s

The engineering field I have chosen is Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical engineering is a very broad field; mechanical engineers have the opportunity to work in a wide spectrum of fields. Some mechanical engineers can work for a company testing and improving upon their products. Mechanical engineers love to take things apart and to find out how they work. This being the basis for mechanical engineering it gives a mechanical engineer many options so you won’t ever be bored. Mechanical Engineers rely

PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY: THE ROLE OF ENGINEERING IN SOCIETY S.P. Nichols and W.F. Weldon Center for Electromechanics‚ The University of Texas at Austin‚ USA Keywords: professional responsibility‚ engineering ethics‚ engineering responsibility. Abstract We argue that the practice of engineering does not exist outside the domain of societal interests. That is‚ the practice of engineering has an inherent (and unavoidable) impact on society. Engineering is based upon that relationship with society

Is Ethics an Alien word to the engineering profession? “The decisions and actions of engineers have a profound impact on the world we live in‚ and society at large” [The Royal Academy of Engineering] and are generally responsible for the way life is on earth due to their key part in discovering innovative technologies throughout the past. However in recent years the engineering profession has come under scrutiny with regards to its ethical stance. Ethics is certainly not an alien word in the United
