Art and Approximation is an easy reference guide for engineers and architects on simple calculations to help solve practical structural #engineering problems.
Announcement: This year should see the publication of a engineering guide on SIPs panels, based on my 13 years of experience designing SIPs structures. 🤞 @IStructE@ncedigital#sip
SIP App on Google play....
CALL FOR TESTERS (10 needed). Anyone with an android phone, and better still gmail account, who would like to trial an app for load/span assessment of SIP panels please reply and follow for a DM.

Imagine being able to make stone translucent.
Giovanni Strazza possessed that extraordinarily rare artistic skill. His bust of the Virgin Mary, "The Veiled Virgin", executed in flawless Carrara marble, is one of the most impressive feats by any sculptor in history.
Strazza's "wet drapery" technique continued the legacy of other Italian sculptors like Giuseppe Sanmartino, who produced mind-bending veils from marble a century earlier - the famous "Veiled Christ" is a canonical example.
The tradition also dates back to much earlier sculptors well-known for carving intricate folds, in particular Renaissance artists like Michelangelo and ancient masters from Greece's Hellenistic era.
But in the mid-19th century, Strazza took the technique to its extreme. The subtle layered effect he achieved allows the viewer to easily discern Mary's facial features from the delicate veil, and at the same time creates the illusion of total weightlessness.
How he created something so soft and fluid from solid stone, using only basic hand tools, is a mystery.
Researchers invent large scale 3D printing process using 100% wood.
Industrial printer extrudes fully-biodegradable objects, opening the way for recyclable interior components and products. Stephen Cousins @ribaj, explores this new production technique: https://t.co/Ky6RvH0oc2
“It would be the first additive manufacturing accelerator of its kind in the UK, bringing with it a whole host of opportunities for the town.”
Curious. What is additive manufacturing? 3D printing apparently used to make this copper component for CERN.

"The BBC announced its intention to vacate a large chunk of its MediaCity estate last year as part of a move towards hybrid working and a greener future."
A euphemism for the BBC struggling now that licence revenue continues to drop?
