if everyone’s house is flood proofed. The only negative thing about flood proofing is the time that it takes to do it. There are ways to flood proof homes that don’t take so long but if the people were to raise their home or even build a new home that was raised, it would take quite a bit of time. This also means that during the process, a storm could come and it ruins all of the progress that they have made on flood proofing their
Geoffrey Yang Physics Per. 1 Bennett w/ Paul Eremenco How Are Buildings made to be Earthquake-Proof/Resistant? “Earthquakes alone don't kill people; collapsed buildings do” (Sutter). In addition to possibly causing tsunamis, earthquakes are responsible for releasing enormous amounts of energy that spread through the crust as seismic waves. These seismic waves include P-waves and S-waves. While P-waves do not cause as much destruction due to their vertical movement, S-waves can cause buildings to
Silk is one of the most desired and popular natural fibers with a rich history. Pliny, the Roman historian, quoted in his Natural History in 70 BC that “Silk was obtained by removing the down from the leaves with the help of water…". It is interesting to note that for more than two thousand years the Chinese kept the secret of silk altogether to themselves. It is believed to be discovered by a Chinese Empress Hsi Ling Shi and was a guarded secret that passed through many centuries till it was discovered

The green roof structure comprises of eight layers, these are: sturdy roof structure, reliable water-proofing membrane, ponding membrane, tough protection fabric, water storing drainage layer, non-clogging separation fabric, engineered soil and appropriate plants.
Tay Kok Rui (Y1411040) Question 1a: There are two different type of finish that could be applied on the building chosen, inherent finishes and applied finishes. The major finishing works that could be applied on the floor are; joint-less finishes such as cement screed, granolithic paving, anhydrite floor finish and resin-based finish; flexible thin sheets and tile finishes such as Linoleum sheets and PVC sheets; rigid tiles and stone slabs finishes such as clay-floor tiles and natural stone slabs;

There are at least 10 children that get shot and killed every day. So far in 2015, there have been 628 deaths of children in the United States alone. According to At Issue, from the SIRS data base, gun safety measures seek to eliminate or minimize the risk of unintentional death, injury or damage caused by the accidental discharge of a firearm. Some feel that young children should be taught what to do if they encounter a firearm. Others believe that telling young children to just simply leave the
Because of the existence of some misunderstanding between the concrete manufacturer and the architect/design team, in regards to which party should take the responsibilities to implement the water proofing details and installation. Since the Elliot Lake Inquiry has not come to a conclusion of that matter (Dec.16th, 2013), the responsibility of the waterproofing detailing is not yet clear. These leaks allowed water to penetrate through the topping and

In this age of electronic communication, why is it still important to be able write well? First, in order to pass the composition class a student must be able to show a proficiency in writing. This skill will also assist the student in the majority of the other classes attended. Another reason is it will directly benefit the student in reaching individual goals. As a student approaches graduation, the mailing and posting of many resumes for companies to view will occur. For the person who possesses
Recently, security has become one of the most significant and challenging problems for spreading new information technology. Since digital data can easily be copied, multiplied without information loss, and manipulated without any detection, security solutions are required, which encounter these threats? Security solutions are especially of interest for such fields as distributed production processes and electronic commerce, since their producers provide only access control mechanisms to prevent
some 10,000 people die in earthquakes annually. Collapsing buildings claim by far the majority of lives”(1). Seismic retrofitting has helped protect existing infrastructure during earthquakes. Although results show that this method of earthquake proofing is successful, this solution does have negative impacts economically and culturally. During 2010, there were over 320,120 annual deaths that were caused by earthquakes according to the USGS National Earthquake Research. Not only do earthquakes cause

The inherent challenges of the security issue have become a top priority in every organization that makes use of information. Securing digital identities is getting more and more crucial. For authentication the usage of passwords is no longer sufficient because it faces most modern means of attacks and thus stronger authentication schemes are needed. Strong authentication solutions having two identification factors require often an additional device, which could be difficult for the user and costly
