000 km. The stone bridges that have been partially preserved have solid, largely semicircular, arches with small spans, and piers one-third to one-half of the span in width. Light wooden bridges on piles, as well as floating bridges, were also built; the latter were frequently used for mi...
Elevated structure means a non-basement structure built to have the lowest floor elevated above the ground level by means of fill, solid foundation perimeter walls, filled stem wall foundations (also called chain walls), pilings, or columns (posts and piers). Sample 1Sample 2Sample 3Draft with...
For example, Alani and Banks [87], combined GPR with 3-D laser scanner for assessing the Old Bridge of Aylesford (in Kent, England), which was built in the 12th century. As a result of this activity, the thicknesses of different layers of the deck structure were measured, the original...
In the ancient Babylonian and Assyrian periods of W Asia the temple, or ziggurat, was a square pyramidal structure about 300 ft (90 m) high built up in successive, inclined terraces, sometimes as many as seven; with accessory buildings it was enclosed by walls. At its summit was a chamber...
thus the design and quality of build had to reflect the long-awaited anticipation and excitement that had built up to the event. The team at Gorilla Marketing & Events & NoNonsense Group have created a custom-built stand that was truly bespoke to the client’s needs and highly complemented ...

Stone was preferred to brick in many situations, depending on the geograp...
Fig. 19. Failure of piers; (a) pier in the building model; (b) wall W7 tested in shear-compression [8]. This observation enables us to separate the resistance of the structure into two parts. The first part is the resistance of the central in-plane loaded shear piers, and the second...
The bridge "Pont de l'Enfance" in Cameroon, originally built between 1977 and 1979, is situated in Koro, between the villages of Sa'a and Ntui, and crossing the Sanaga River there. A two-lane bridge was originally planned. The single-lane bridge crossing the river up to last year was...
The present invention relates to a floor structure such as a floor plate bridge structure built on a river or land, a slab structure of respective hierarchies such as a steel frame building and an iron reinforced concrete building, a roadbed structure formed on an upper surface of an undergrou...
