Boston harbor outfall tunnel: An environmental imperative

In February 1989, the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA) began the design and construction of a 15.3-km subsea tunnel and ocean riser system to discharge effluent in conjunction with the design and construction of a large secondary treatment plant. The court-mandated schedule required the tunnel and risers to be completed in July 1995. The paper discusses the project from the viewpoints of management, concept design and construction methods, including the ocean riser system. Key to th success of the project is the accuracy of the location of the risers. The design calls for a final tunnel alignment to be driven within 10 m of the riser shafts, beginning at a distance of 13.1 km from shore.

限制中的自由

本案为深圳深航锦江国际大酒店,该五星级酒店位于深圳深南路旁,原为办公建筑,因周边地区的写字楼过多,而改造为五星标准的国际大酒店。由于原建筑功能的转变,所以限制较多,同时又经过与业主的交流,最后设计师为此案做出了新的定位。首先,通过在原建筑上的改造,为深圳航空公司设计出一个具有国际标准的现代商务酒店。其次,整体风格应现代,具有时代性,同时不失特色。最后,设计师应以功能性为主要的设计原则,交通流线应清晰易辨,有清晰的路标标志、先进的入口提示装置,能为客人提供良好的商务环境。在设计中,设计师在诸多限制中熟练的运用空间的独立、交错、穿插、引导等各种设计形态并通过各种材料、色彩的变化运用,令酒店展现现代、时尚的同时又不失清新宜人的特色。点、线、面的穿插更是让酒店显得层次丰富。通过设计,深航锦江国际大酒店成为深圳地区独具特色的商务酒店,室内的环境为客人留下良好的印象,使酒店在竞争中处于优势地位。     

拉美城市高级住区与消费景观占有不平等研究——以巴西里约热内卢为例

在拉美城市中,城市边界迅速扩张,强势群体占据了环境优美地段的高级住区,这成为城市消费景观环境不平等的有力实证。强势群体利用自身的经济、政治优势占据了城市中环境和设施相对优越的区域,并形成与周围区域隔离的堡垒式高级住区,成为拉美城市司空见惯的现象。本文以巴西的里约热内卢大都市区为例,基于其城市高级住区和消费景观毗邻分布的历史背景和现状,探讨并分析了这一现象,期望能为我国现阶段政府调控市场经济转型时期的城市消费景观环境不平等提供有益的借鉴。     

Radiocesium in muscle tissue of reindeer and pike from northern Sweden before and after the Chernobyl accident. A retrospective study on tissue samples from the Swedish Environmental Specimen Bank.

After the Chernobyl accident in April 1986, considerable deposition of radionuclides occurred regionally in eastern, central and northwestern Sweden. Locally, the fallout of radiocesium exceeded the remainder from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests by several magnitudes. Since the end of the 1960s samples of organs from various plant and animal species, annually collected at different localities, have been preserved in the Swedish Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB). In this work samples from the ESB have been used for retrospective studies of radioactive pollution. The activities of Cs-134 and Cs-137 in muscle tissues from reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, and pike, Esox lucius, preserved in the ESB, were measured. The samples were collected annually; the reindeer at three localities in northern Sweden and the pike at one of them. In material collected prior to the Chernobyl accident, the levels of Cs-137 were 57-180 Bq/kg in reindeer and 14-24 Bq/kg in pike, fresh weight basis. These levels relate to earlier nuclear bomb tests. A significant decrease was found in pike during the pre-Chernobyl period (1971-86). In post-Chernobyl samples the burden of Cs-137 varied from amounts equal to the former levels in the northernmost locality and up to 80 times higher for the maximum values in the southernmost locality. The highest value recorded was 18,425 Bq/kg in reindeer. The geographic variations in reindeer from Chernobyl fallout were in accordance with the pattern of deposition estimated by aircraft surveys performed in May 1986. The ratio between 'new' and 'old' radiocesium burdens in pike, caught in 1987, approached the corresponding ratio for reindeer grazing in the precipitation area of the lake; 33 and 19, respectively.

Probabilistic loss assessment of light-frame wood construction subjected to combined seismic and snow loads

In some areas, e.g., mountainous areas in the western United States, both seismic and snow loads are significant. Limited research has been conducted to investigate the seismic risk of light-frame wood construction in those areas considering the combined loads, particularly the snow accumulation. An object-oriented framework of the risk assessment for light-frame wood construction subjected to combined seismic and snow hazards is proposed in this paper. A typical one-story light-frame wood residential building is selected to demonstrate the proposed framework. Economic losses of the building due to the combined hazards are evaluated using the proposed framework. It is found that in areas with significant snow accumulation, the snow load has significant effects on the seismic risk assessment for light-frame wood construction.
