Underpinning Foundation: Everything You Need to Know
Image Credits: The Architect's Diary As time passes, the foundation of a building can easily fall into disrepair. The earth shifts, the ground changes, thus making places like basements and underground facilities easily compromised. It’s not necessarily anything that...
High Fidelity Numerical Seismic Modeling of Ancient Brick Structures
Abstract: The evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of historical masonry buildings is a difficult task due to the uncertainty regarding structural characteristics and construction techniques, mechanical properties, and pre-existing damage. Hence, there is a need...
Ringo Starr Birthplace Saved from Demolition
The birthplace of Ringo Starr in Liverpool, England was set to be demolished as part of a Liverpool City Council revitalization project on Nine Madryn Street. The City Council rethought its decision, however, when "a tide of community support" saved the home after...
