Book excerpt: "Dome Petroleum Ltd. is planning to construct the first of their artificial islands in the Beaufort Sea sometime during the late summer or early fall of this year. The proposed island will be located offshore in a water depth of 23m and consists of four self contained caissons placed on a dredged soil berm. The intended use of the island is twofold, namely, to use it as a platform for explorational drilling as well as to employ it as a full scale experimental structure which offers the unique opportunity to measure undistorted ice forces and ice pressures. Data gathered from this structure can then be utilized to establish design criteria for the construction of future islands located in greater water depths. The work outlined in this proposal relates mainly to the experimental nature of this island. So called false front pressure panels which are made out of steel and/or concrete are attached to the front face of the caisson(s) as shown in Figure 1. The configuration of a typical panel consists of a structurally sound plate and beam structure which transmits ice loads via load cells or flat jacks to the caisson. Overall average normal and/or shear loads are measured by the cells or jacks whereas localized stress concentrations are measured by employing sensing devices which are either built into the panel or are directly attached to the panel surface. The panels have to be anchored to the caisson. The anchor points have to be designed with great care in order to ensure that all possible loads are being properly transferred" -- ASTIS [online] database.

Book excerpt: "This project was assigned to Swan Wooster on an urgent basis in mid-May, 1980, with the intention of installing the caisson units during the fall of the same year. Consequently little time was available for researching alternatives to the four sided, four caissoned system as originally proposed by Dome engineers. During the early weeks of design the system was modified by Swan Wooster to an eight-sided, four unit system and concrete was chosen as the most suitable construction material, from the point of view of cost and availability within the tight time schedule. With the decision to postpone construction startup to 1981, more time became available to review the possible alternatives to the above concept and to see if a preferable system could be devised. The review, nevertheless, confirms the choice of the original basic system (modified to 8 sides) as being the one most suited to the design criteria and the conditions for mobilization, set-down and re-use of the structure" -- ASTIS [online] database.

Book excerpt: "Most diaphragms of one of the caissons are provided with gauges to measure the horizontal strains. An individual diaphragm has eight gauges arranged on one vertical cross section in four rows. How can these measurements be used for the evaluation of the ice forces acting on the caisson? The ice forces are balanced by: (1) friction forces at the bottom surface of the caisson base, and (b) passive resistance of the earth fill behind the caisson. Thus, the applied ice forces produce horizontal stresses (mainly compression) in the diaphragms and in the base. The total horizontal force in an individual diaphragm is expected to be different from the ice force applied on the face of the caisson over the area between the vertical centre lines of the adjacent panels. The difference represents the parts of the loads transmitted through the base or through other diaphragms. In other words, a localized ice force applied opposite to an individual diaphragm will be transmitted to the supporting mediums by one base as well as by all the other diaphragms. The computer analysis presented here is intended only to assess the amount of repartition of the forces between the diaphragms that can take place when the ice forces are locally applied. Because the idealization is very crude, no high accuracy is claimed. Also, this analysis does not concern itself with the part of the ice load that finds its path through the base of the caisson. At the end of this document a much more accurate and complete method of interpretation of the measurements is outlined"--Leaves 1-2.

This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book includes six chapters that cover Virginia history from initial settlement through the 20th century plus one that deals with the important role of underwater archaeology. Written by prominent archaeologists with research experience in their respective topic areas, the chapters consider important issues of Virginia history and consider how the discipline of historic archaeology has addressed them and needs to address them . Changes in research strategy over time are discussed , and recommendations are made concerning the need to recognize the diverse and often differing roles and impacts that characterized the different regions of Virginia over the course of its historic past. Significant issues in Virginia history needing greater study are identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horace G. Danner’s A Thesaurus of English Word Roots is a compendium of the most-used word roots of the English language. As Timothy B. Noone notes in his foreword: “Dr. Danner’s book allows you not only to build up your passive English vocabulary, resulting in word recognition knowledge, but also gives you the rudiments for developing your active English vocabulary, making it possible to infer the meaning of words with which you are not yet acquainted. Your knowledge can now expand and will do so exponentially as your awareness of the roots in English words and your corresponding ability to decode unfamiliar words grows apace. This is the beginning of a fine mental linguistic library: so enjoy!” In A Thesaurus of English Word Roots, all word roots are listed alphabetically, along with the Greek or Latin words from which they derive, together with the roots’ original meanings. If the current meaning of an individual root differs from the original meaning, that is listed in a separate column. In the examples column, the words which contain the root are then listed, starting with their prefixes, for example, dysacousia, hyperacousia. These root-starting terms then are followed by terms where the root falls behind the word, e.g., acouesthesia and acoumeter. These words are followed by words where the root falls in the middle or the end, as in such terms as bradyacusia and odynacusis.. In this manner, A Thesaurus of English Word Roots places the word in as many word families as there are elements in the word. This work will interest linguists and philologists and anyone interested in the etymological aspects of English language.
