A New Blend of Taste for Adobong Kangkong

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 01 May 2009 23:00:00 +0000

Prepare the usual estimated ingredients for adobong kangkong like minced garlic, diced onion, soy sauce and kangkong. For added ingredients you can add some ground pork and pork stock. If your wondering why is it no vinegar, its just that in my province, we don't use vinegar in what the Tagalogs called "Adobo". So, for the new blend of taste just put some oyster sauce. Cook it the usual way. Sautee the garlic and onions in a pan with any cooking oil you like but for additional aroma use an olive oil. Add the pork and put some black pepper then allow the pork to turn brown for a few minutes. Add a cup of water then put the pork stock, soy sauce and the oyster sauce and wait for it to boil. I suggest to easily dissolve the pork stock, crush it first until it becomes powder. Don't forget to put some umami seasoning (MSG) to add some luscious taste. Put the kangkong in the boiling pan and cook it for about 1-2 minutes. There you go! A new blend of taste for ADOBONG KANGKONG.

ADAPT-PT v8

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 01 May 2009 00:59:00 +0000

ADAPT-PT v8

ADAPT-PT is the industry standard stand-alone program for the design of beam frames, slabs and floor systems post-tensioned with either bonded, or unbonded tendons. For two-way floor systems the user can base the analysis on either the Equivalent Frame Method, or the Simple Frame Method. For the post-tensioning design, the user can select between the Effective Force method and the Variable Force (Tendon Selection) method. In the Variable Force method, the software computes and accounts for the tendons' friction and long-term stress losses along the length of the post-tensioned member. ADAPT-PT can handles drop caps, drop panels, steps above and below, transverse beams and non-prismatic sections. Selfweight is calculated using actual dimensions and material properties. In addition to the post-tensioning amount and profile, the software reports the location and amount of the nonprestressed steel along the length of the structure for the strength and minimum requirements. The solution is presented in a clear and concise tabular form, as well as in graphical format.

Output options also include a graphical summary report of all important design data, ready for transfer to structural drawings and inclusion in structural calculations. The graphical summary includes:

* Elevation of the member with the post-tensioning tendons in place
* The post-tensioning profile, elevation of control points and PT-force/number of strands
* Location, length and number of nonprestressed bars required over the entire member length
* Outcome of the one-way or punching shear design
* Designer's comments
* DXF output

Flexibility in selection of cross-sectional geometry makes this software suitable for design of box girder bridges, and I-girders in addition to traditional building and parking structures. ADAPT-PT is fast, easy to master, and is the choice of production-oriented consulting engineers around the world.

ADAPT-PT is offered in two versions, a low cost version referred to as "Standard" and a "Plus" version. The two programs are identical except that the Standard version is limited to 5 spans and two cantilevers. The Plus version goes up to 20 spans and two cantilevers.

ADAPT-PT is a stand-alone program. But, when used together with ADAPT-Builder, it can receive input data generated graphically in Builder's 3D Modeling environment.

Codes
The program comes supports the following design codes:
* ACI-318 (1999 and 2005)
* IBC (International Building Code) 2006
* British-BS8110 (1997)

The following pictures were emailed to me from an ex-colleague in a consulting firm. When lightning hits the world's tallest skyscraper "The Burj Dubai Tower". When I saw the pictures it gave me some gruesome feeling. According to the email, it took almost half of an hour when the lightning hit the tower and the thunder sounded all over the neighboring areas! An unforgettable night they say. If I could witness something extra-ordinary like that, well of course, it would be an unforgettable experience.

Discovery Channel Extreme Engineering - Tokyo's Sky City

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 21:07:00 +0000

With land area shrinking and population growing, Japan has decided to take its urban development strategy to the next level. Welcome to Sky City – the most massive super-building on earth and certainly one of the most daring feats of engineering ever attempted.

With its 14 steel, concrete and glass 'plateaus,' each 40 stories high and stacked on top of each other, Sky City will rise a full mile into space – more than twice the height of any existing building! The towering, vertical city will house more than 100,000 people and provide for every aspect of modern life with parks, schools, homes, offices and shops all housed within the 'city's' ample walls.

Only one problem: No one knows for sure if it can really be built! Join leading engineers from Japan, Taiwan and Canada as they try to tackle the immense mechanical, structural and logistical issues behind such an enormous project. Architects have drawn up plans for a truly majestic edifice, but can they protect the city from earthquakes, typhoons and the very worst disaster that can strike a tall building – a raging inferno?
