Nacre, commonly known as mother-of-pearl, is the iridescent material lining many mollusk shells. It is part of a two-layer armor system that protects the animal from predators. The brittle outer layer of the shell absorbs the initial impact, but is prone to cracking. To prevent these cracks from catastrophically propagating through the shell to the animal itself, the nacreous layer is surprisingly strong and tough, with outstanding crack arresting properties. Thus it acts as a lining to maintain the integrity of the shell in the event of cracking of the outer layer.http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/6595-chemists-develop-fully-biodegradable-and-recyclabl.htmlScienceDaily (Jan. 13, 2011) ?

Concrete bridges have to be strong enough to cope with a wide variety of different impacts: frost, heavy traffic and emissions all take their toll on these structures. And then there are the various types of road salt used in winter to combat icy roads. The most common of these is sodium chloride, which is deployed in large amounts on Germany's roads. When the ice thaws, these salts break down into their ionic components that penetrate the concrete, destroying its five-centimeter thick protective alkaline layer. Any salt that leaches through to the steel rods used to reinforce the concrete pad will cause them to rust, resulting in structural damage. The result is cracks. In a worst-case scenario the bridge itself could collapse.http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/6541-solar-energy-cheaper-solar-concentrator-with-fewer.htmlScienceDaily (Apr. 22, 2010) ?

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. ? Small flaps mounted in jet-engine inlet ducts may allow supersonic aircraft to fly faster and farther at less cost, say researchers at the University of Illinois. "When flying at supersonic speeds, shock waves naturally occur in the engine inlet," said Eric Loth, a UI professor of aeronautical and astronautical engineering. "The shock waves disrupt the airflow, creating considerable flow separation and significantly reducing engine efficiency." To minimize this effect and prevent boundary-layer flow separation, conventional supersonic engines use a bleed system that removes air through holes in the inlet wall and dumps it out the back. While this keeps the boundary layer attached, it also wastes a fair portion of the ingested airflow.http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/6061-punch-of-world39s-most-powerful-laser-ratchets-up-.htmlScienceDaily (Nov. 8, 2000) ?

In the second project, UF Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences researchers followed the hurricane's impact on UF's "hurricane house" near Pensacola, built to withstand winds exceeding 140 mph. The 3,000-square-foot house adjacent to the Escambia County extension office in Cantonment was all but undamaged. The top wind gust the engineers measured was about 120 mph, about the same as reported by meteorologists. With both projects, data and experience from the storm's strike will add to the growing body of knowledge about how to build homes to withstand hurricanes. "Overall, the idea is to learn the most efficient way to make houses stronger without costing a lot more," Kurt Gurley, a UF associate professor of civil engineering, said of the tower project. Gurley's team of 17 research engineers and students from UF, Florida International University and the Florida Institute of Technology left Gainesville on Friday and Saturday, towing the towers behind Ford F-250 trucks. The project is part of a larger hurricane research effort called the Florida Coastal Monitoring Program, sponsored by the Florida Department of Community Affairs. Designed for quick setup and able to withstand 200-mph winds, the 5,500-pound structures stand more than 33 feet tall when erected. They house instruments measuring wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, humidity and rainfall. The team put up the towers between Navarre, just east of Pensacola, and Panama City. They also placed instrumentation designed to measure hurricane wind forces on four pre-selected homes in Navarre, Destin and Santa Rosa Beach. Dennis made landfall Sunday afternoon between Pensacola Beach and Navarre Beach. Team members spent Saturday and Sunday nights safely ensconced in a hotel east of Pensacola in Mary Esther, but they were able to gauge the tower data in real time thanks to a cell phone connection to three of the towers' onboard computers. The peak preliminary wind gust of 120 mph was recorded by the Navarre tower, probably located in or near the eye Hurricane Dennis, Gurley said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also tapped the tower data. NOAA uses the UF data, as well as data from other sources such as satellites and research aircraft, to produce detailed maps of hurricane wind forces used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other responders to hurricanes. The tower data "is probably the most accurate wind measurement we can use in our analysis, so we're very happy to have it," said Mark Powell, a NOAA atmospheric scientist based in Miami. The hurricane house, officially known as the Escambia Windstorm Damage Mitigation, Training and Demonstration Center, was undamaged with the exception of some wet carpet, said Lamar Christenberry, Escambia County extension director. The house shows how existing homes can be made more hurricane-resistant. For example, its features include impact-resistant doors, a steel "safe room" and a garage door that will withstand winds of more than 150 mph. "Our hurricane house demonstrates that it is possible to build a home that will come through hurricanes such as Dennis and Ivan with little or no damage" Christenberry said. The house is one of three facilities located at UF/IFAS Extension Service offices around the state. Other hurricane houses are in Fort Pierce and St. Augustine, and a fourth house will be completed in August at the UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center. The Florida Department of Financial Services provided $2.3 million for the houses, and UF's Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing in the College of Design, Construction and Planning supervised their design and construction. In the wake of four devastating hurricanes in 2004 and with the likelihood of another active hurricane season this year, the houses are becoming magnets for educating builders and residents about wind-loss mitigation, energy efficiency and environmentally sensitive construction, said Pierce Jones, director of the UF/IFAS Florida Energy Extension Service.

An extra 432,000 people are projected to arrive in the city by 2010 boosting its population to more than 1.8 million, according to estimates from the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, and over the longer term the size of the population is expected to be larger still.http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5663-garden-of-delight.htmlSheikh Mana bin Khalifa Al Maktoum's vision for the focal point of the exterior of Raffles Hotel Dubai was nothing if not a challenge.http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5662-time-for-bed.htmlIt has been estimated by the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing that 22,000 extra hotel rooms will be available in Dubai by the end of 2008 to add to the 46,775 that are already in existence. But that's nothing. It is predicted that by 2016 Dubailand's Al Bawadi development will have added a further 60,000 rooms across 51 new hotels. http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5661-closed-door-policy.htmlSince the first walls were erected and joined together with coverings to create the first structures, emphasis has been placed on the means by which people can enter and exit those structures. Whether medieval arches; pediments of the Renaissance or Japanese shoji screens, doors have played an important role in both form and function of architecture. http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5660-waste-not-want-not.htmlIn a world that is beginning to suffer acute water shortages, the UAE is badly situated in one of its driest areas. It has been estimated that Arab states will need to invest US $100 billion on desalination over the next decade if demand for water continues to grow at its current pace. So far this very desalination has been the salvation of the Middle East, accounting for 80% of the UAE's water supply, however it comes at a price. http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5659-creating-a-science-community.htmlSince the Islamic Golden Age, the period between the 7th and 15th centuries when Islamic scholarship flourished in the Middle East and throughout the known world, scientific exploration has been an integral part of the evolution of this region. http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5658-pop-up-supper-club-and-cafe-new-york.htmlLast month saw the opening of a Pop-Up Supper Club and Café in the heart of New York's midtown.

Yet until recently, it was often under utilised as a resource in the region. http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5653-moorish-details.htmlNestling in the shadow of its towering neighbour, the Burj Dubai, is the latest Arabic-inspired hospitality project proffered by Wilson Associates. Straddling the genres of business hotel and family resort, the hotel perfectly combines the two categories. Surrounded by man-made canals and waterways, the hotel will eventually be linked to the Burj Dubai and Dubai Mall by water taxis, in a similar vein to the Madinat Jumeirah. http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5652-trendy-tiles.htmlTiles may be durable and easy to clean, but they are also fast becoming a fashion statement, with designers and manufacturers offering unlimited options in colours, patterns, finishes and sizes.

Perhaps most famous for its successful staging of the 32nd America's Cup earlier this year, Spain's third city has undergone something of an architectural makeover thanks in part to the inspiration of architect Santiago Calatrava and his City of Arts and Sciences, as well as the sailing event itself, which has seen the port area undergo a tremendous transformation. Valencia will also host a Formula 1 circuit come 2008, joining the likes of Monaco in being one of a few places to offer an urban course throughout the city's streets. http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5642-island-life.htmlFresh on the design map only a few years ago, the concept of offshore developments has quickly grown in popularity.

Coming in an almost unlimited range of different materials and designs it appears that the chandelier is making something of a comeback. This is especially true in the image-conscious Middle East, as illustrated by their prevalence in many of the region's luxury hotels.http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5638-duomo-hotel-rimini.htmlSituated in the narrow streets of Rimini's old town is the 43-room Duomo Hotel, Italy's answer to space age designer hotels.

Upon arrival in Bahrain, they found the site had an existing shopping mall, a hotel and a small office building. The client's brief was to increase the commercial office space considerably, double the size of the shopping centre and increase the parking facilities by incorporating a multi-storey car park into the design. It was asked to preserve the existing buildings and incorporate them into the new development to create a seamless division between the 'old' and the 'new'. On the day it visited the site, for what would become the Bahrain World Trade Center (BWTC), it was an unexpectedly windy day and Shaun Killa couldn't help but think about sailing.http://www.civilengineeringnews.net/haber/5635-software-solutions.htmlSoftware for architects and interior designers has come a long way from the limited 2D CAD systems of the 1970s to today's industry changing building information modelling systems.
