Abstract Title: Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney. The building of the major part of the Mitchell Library (1939 - 1942) resulted in four pairs of bronze entrance doors, three on the northern facade and one on the southern facade. The three pairs on the northern facade of the library are obvious to everyone entering the library from Shakespeare Place and are well documented. However very little has been written on the pair on the southern facade apart from brief mentions in two books of the State Library buildings, so few people know of their existence. Sadly the excellent bronze doors on the southern facade of the library cannot readily be opened and are largely hidden from view due to the 1987 construction of the Glass House skylight between the newly built main wing of the State Library of New South Wales and the Mitchell Library. These doors consist of six square panels featuring bas-reliefs of different early printers’ marks and two rectangular panels at the bottom with New South Wales wildflowers.

  • Phillips, Michael
    Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2013 Conference, Nov 15-17 2013, Hobart, Tas Measuring Bridge Characteristics to Predict their Response in Earthquakes Michael Phillips1 and Kevin McCue2 1. EPSO Seismic, PO Box 398, Coonabarabran, NSW 2357. Email: [email protected] 2. Adjunct Professor, Central Queensland University, Rockhampton, Qld 4701. Email: [email protected] Abstract During 2011 and 2012 we measured the response of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (SHB) to ambient vibration, and determined the natural frequencies and damping of various low-order resonance modes. These measurements were conducted using a simple triaxial MEMS acceleration sensor located at the mid-point of the road deck. The effectiveness of these measurements suggested that a full mapping of modal amplitudes along the road deck could be achieved by making many incremental measurements along the deck, then using software to integrate these data. To accommodate the briefer spot-measurements required, improved recording equipment was acquired, resulting in much improved data quality. Plotting the SHB deck motion data with 3D graphics nicely presents the modal amplitude characteristics of various low order modes, and this analysis technique was then applied to a more complex bridge structure, namely the road deck of Sydney’s Cahill Expressway Viaduct. Unlike the single span of the SHB, the Cahill Expressway Viaduct (CHE) dramatically changes its modal behavior along its length, and our analysis system highlights a short section of this elevated roadway that is seismically vulnerable. On the basis of these observations, the NSW Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) indicated that they will conduct an investigation into the structure at this location.

    December 2018 2018 Sydney New Year’s Eve – Macquarie Street and East Circular Quay Sydney New Year’s Eve attracts over a million people to Sydney Harbour and more than one billion people across the globe. Getting in and out of the city is different on New Year’s Eve. There will be road closures, on-street fencing and diversions to help people get around safely. Changed parking conditions Once a road is closed, you, your guests, or suppliers / contractors will not be able to gain access to or exit from car parks and loading docks. Sections of Macquarie Street will be closed from as early as 4am on the morning of New Year’s Eve. It is an offence to drive on closed roads, even from car parks. Plan your movements ahead of time. Special event clearway parking restrictions These will be in place on Macquarie Street, Circular Quay and throughout the Sydney CBD early on New Year’s Eve until New Year’s Day. Clearways are strict ‘no-parking’ zones, even for local residents and mobility scheme permit holders. Vehicles in clearways will be towed and a fee will apply. Special event clearways will be in effect from: 2am on New Year’s Eve to 4am on New Year’s Day on Macquarie Street between Bridge Street and the Opera House roundabout (both sides). 6am on New Year’s Eve to 4am on New Year’s Day on roads through East Circular Quay and remainder of the Sydney CBD. Look for the bright yellow signs and read them carefully when parking, particularly on the night before.
