Membership-based: funded by modest membership subscriptions from its member councils. Open to all UK councils: members share the belief that working co-operatively with communities holds the key to tackling today’s challenges. Part of the local government family: the network is a Special Interest Group registered with the Local Government Association (LGA) where we work to promote innovation in local government. Established in 2016, the Policy Lab programme is an opportunity for any CCIN Member to present an idea and receive funding for collaboration with other CCIN members to fund co-operative solutions to the challenges facing local government.

  • Townhouse Or Two-Family Dwelling?

    Townhouse Or Two-Family Dwelling?

    TWO-FAMILY DWELLING, TWO-UNIT TOWNHOUSE and TOWNHOUSE BUILDINGS and the 2020 MINNESOTA RESIDENTIAL CODE Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry DEFINITIONS A two-family dwelling (IRC-2 occupancy) is: • A building containing two separate dwelling units. • The separation between units is either horizontal or vertical. • Both units are on one lot. • Sometimes referred to as “duplexes.” A townhouse (IRC-3 occupancy) is: • A single-family dwelling unit constructed in a group of two or more attached dwelling units. • Each unit is a separate building and extends from the foundation to the roof with open space on at least two sides of each unit. • Each unit is provided with separate building service utilities required by other chapters of the State Building Code. • A two-unit townhouse is sometimes referred to as a “twin-home.” DISTINCTION The primary differences between a two-family dwelling and a two-unit townhouse or twin-home: • Property – A two-unit townhouse or twin-home is typically located on two separate individual lots with a property line running between them whereas both units of a two-family dwelling, or “duplex,” are located on the same single lot. • Separation – A two-unit townhouse must be separated from the foundation to the roof by a double wall (two one-hour walls, see exceptions below). The separation between units in a two-family dwelling can be provided by single one-hour fire-resistance-rated assembly that is horizontal or vertical. • Services – Since each townhouse unit is a separate building, each townhouse unit must be supplied with separate utilities. Units classified as townhouses must be supplied by separate electrical services.

  • Faults and Joints

    Faults and Joints

    133 JOINTS Joints (also termed extensional fractures) are planes of separation on which no or undetectable shear displacement has taken place. The two walls of the resulting tiny opening typically remain in tight (matching) contact. Joints may result from regional tectonics (i.e. the compressive stresses in front of a mountain belt), folding (due to curvature of bedding), faulting, or internal stress release during uplift or cooling. They often form under high fluid pressure (i.e. low effective stress), perpendicular to the smallest principal stress. The aperture of a joint is the space between its two walls measured perpendicularly to the mean plane. Apertures can be open (resulting in permeability enhancement) or occluded by mineral cement (resulting in permeability reduction). A joint with a large aperture (> few mm) is a fissure. The mechanical layer thickness of the deforming rock controls joint growth. If present in sufficient number, open joints may provide adequate porosity and permeability such that an otherwise impermeable rock may become a productive fractured reservoir. In quarrying, the largest block size depends on joint frequency; abundant fractures are desirable for quarrying crushed rock and gravel. Joint sets and systems Joints are ubiquitous features of rock exposures and often form families of straight to curviplanar fractures typically perpendicular to the layer boundaries in sedimentary rocks. A set is a group of joints with similar orientation and morphology. Several sets usually occur at the same place with no apparent interaction, giving exposures a blocky or fragmented appearance. Two or more sets of joints present together in an exposure compose a joint system.

Paulding, Jr. Submitted to the Department of Geology and Geophysics February 9, 1965 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Photoelastic analysis of several two-crack arrays pre- dicts that compressive fracture is initiated at cracks oriented in a particular en schelon manner. Observation of partially-fractured samples of Westerly granite, obtained during uniaxial and confined compression tests by stopping the fracture process, indicate that fracture is initiated by en echelon arrays of biotite grains and pre-existing, trans-granular, cracks.

    Image Processing Code for Sharpening Photoelastic Fringe Patterns and Its Usage in Determination of Stress Intensity Factors in a Sample Contact Problem

    College of Engineering Society of Manufacturing University of Tehran Engineering of Iran 3rd International Conference on Manufacturing Engineering ICME2011, Tehran, Iran 27-29 December 2011 Image Processing Code for Sharpening Photoelastic Fringe Patterns and Its Usage in Determination of Stress Intensity Factors in a Sample Contact Problem S. Khaleghian*, A. Emami and N. Soltani School of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Abstract This study presented a type of image processing code which is used for sharpening photoelastic fringe patterns of transparent materials in photoelastic experiences to determine the stress distribution. C-Sharp software was utilized for coding the algorithm of this image processing method. For evaluation of this code, the results of a photoelastic experience of a sample contact problem between a half-plane with an oblique edge crack and a tilted wedge using this image processing method was compared with the FEM results of the same problem in order to obtain the stress intensity factors (SIF) of the specimen. A good agreement between experimental results extracted from this method of image processing and computational results was observed. Keywords: Image processing; Photoelastic fringe patterns; Sharpening; Stress intensity factors 1. Introduction Later in 1998, S Yoneyama et al presented new A practical technique to experimentally obtain methods of photoelastic fringe analysis from a single stress distribution in transparent materials is image [4-5]. Afterwards, many other researchers like photoelasticity. However, in the photoelastic T.Y. Chen et al [6] and C.W. Chang et al [7-8] utilized experiments, the exact path of isochromatic fringes in digital image processing to determine stress distribution images captured by professional cameras can be hardly in some practical mechanical problems.
