Sinopsis

"Floating Bridges" explores the innovative engineering behind these structures, examining how they support traffic while accommodating marine vessels. These bridges offer solutions for crossing wide bodies of water where traditional bridges are impractical. The book dives into the structural engineering principles and operational mechanisms that make these adaptable structures possible, highlighting their cost-effectiveness and environmental sensitivity.

Did you know that floating bridges can be designed to part like the Red Sea, allowing ships to pass? Or that these bridges represent a balance between terrestrial and marine transportation demands?

Beginning with a historical overview of pontoon bridges, the book progresses into the core principles of buoyancy, stability, and load distribution. It then analyzes various design approaches, including anchored floating bridges and submerged floating tunnels. A key focus is placed on the operational aspects, detailing the mechanisms for ship passage and safety protocols. The book concludes with case studies of existing floating bridges around the world, examining their design challenges and long-term performance.

A unique aspect of "Floating Bridges" is its focus on sustainable design, exploring environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient systems. The book presents complex engineering concepts in an accessible manner, making it valuable for civil engineers, architects, and anyone interested in innovative infrastructure solutions. It emphasizes the integration of these bridges into sustainable design practices.

Smart Rivals - How Innovative...

Bonnie Yining Cao, Feng Zhu

A new, researched-based look at how traditional or smaller companies can better compete with Big Tech on their own terms 
 
 
 
Companies are fighting the wrong battle. The consensus has been to learn the best practices from Big Tech and imitate them. But new paths for growth aren't created by imitation; they're forged by radical differentiation. 
 
 
 
In Smart Rivals, Harvard Business School professor Feng Zhu and former Bloomberg journalist Bonnie Cao show business leaders how to create new competitive advantages by offering product features and benefits that tech giants and other competitors cannot match. 
 
 
 
Zhu and Cao bring listeners across the globe, revealing how big conglomerates—Coca-Cola, Ping An, and AB InBev—and scrappy upstarts—an Italian toll payment platform, a Chinese footwear retailer, a Nigerian media company, and scores of others—have managed to thrive by tapping into their unique capabilities. 
 
 
 
Based on original research and insights gleaned from leaders in a wide-range of industries, Smart Rivals will help you find new capabilities that mere imitation could never provide and lead to new products, services, strategies, and advantages.

Destruction of 17th Century...

Charles River Editors

In the mid-17th century, the heart of England fell victim to the mother of all epidemic catastrophes. The city of London was a ghost town, deserted by those who knew better than to hang around in a breeding ground that offered near-certain doom. Those who were confined within the city's borders had to make do with what they had, and the pitifully low morale seemed appropriate; the reek of rot and decomposition pervaded the air day in and day out, while corpses, young and old, riddled with strange swellings and blackened boils, littered the streets. For Londoners, to say it was hell would be an understatement.  
With some bad luck and bad timing, a potential disaster awaited the city, and that finally came in September 1666. As it turned out, the Great Fire of London was so bad that one author who studied the blaze described it as “the perfect fire,” referring to the convergence in the largest city in England of spark, wood and wind in such a way that no one could stop the fire or even fight it effectively. John Evelyn, who had warned of the potential for a devastating fire given the layout of the city, noted that people seemed so stunned by the scope of the fire that they didn’t know what to do: “The conflagration was so universal, and the people so astonished, that from the beginning, I know not by what despondency or fate, they hardly stirred to quench it, so that there was nothing heard or seen but crying out and lamentation, running about like distracted creatures without at all attempting to save even their goods, such a strange consternation there was upon them.” 
While the fire quickly spread throughout the heart of the city, the only thing that saved London’s suburbs was an ancient wall built around the city to keep the enemies of Rome out, not the fire in.  . By the time it was finished, most of the city’s homes and churches lay in ashes, and nearly 90% of the city’s citizens were left homeless.
