  • Multi-Channel Ground-Penetrating Radar Array Surveys of the Iron Age and Medieval Ringfort Bårby on the Island of Öland, Sweden
    remote sensing Article Multi-Channel Ground-Penetrating Radar Array Surveys of the Iron Age and Medieval Ringfort Bårby on the Island of Öland, Sweden Andreas Viberg 1,* , Christer Gustafsson 2 and Anders Andrén 3 1 Archaeological Research Laboratory, Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden 2 ImpulseRadar AB, Storgatan 78, SE–939 32 Malå, Sweden; [email protected] 3 Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 December 2019; Accepted: 4 January 2020; Published: 9 January 2020 Abstract: As a part of the project “The Big Five”, large-scale multi-channel ground-penetrating radar surveys were carried out at Bårby ringfort (Swedish: borg), Öland, Sweden. The surveys were carried out using a MALÅ Imaging Radar Array (MIRA) system and aimed at mapping possible buried Iron Age and Medieval remains through the interior in order to better understand the purpose of the fort during its periods of use. An additional goal was to evaluate the impact of earlier farming on the preservation of the archaeological remains. The data provided clear evidence of well-preserved Iron Age and Medieval buildings inside the fort. The size and the pattern of the Iron Age houses suggest close similarities with, for example, the previously excavated fort at Eketorp on Öland. Given the presence of a substantial cultural layer together with a large number of artefacts recovered during a metal detection survey, it is suggested that Bårby borg’s primary function during the Iron Age was as a fortified village.

  • Technological Advances and Trends in Modern High-Rise Buildings
    buildings Article Technological Advances and Trends in Modern High-Rise Buildings Jerzy Szolomicki 1,* and Hanna Golasz-Szolomicka 2 1 Faculty of Civil Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland 2 Faculty of Architecture, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-505-995-008 Received: 29 July 2019; Accepted: 22 August 2019; Published: 26 August 2019 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide structural and architectural technological solutions applied in the construction of high-rise buildings, and present the possibilities of technological evolution in this field. Tall buildings always have relied on technological innovations in engineering and scientific progress. New technological developments have been continuously taking place in the world. It is closely linked to the search for efficient construction materials that enable buildings to be constructed higher, faster and safer. This paper presents a survey of the main technological advancements on the example of selected tall buildings erected in the last decade, with an emphasis on geometrical form, the structural system, sophisticated damping systems, sustainability, etc. The famous architectural studios (e.g., for Skidmore, Owings and Merill, Nikhen Sekkei, RMJM, Atkins and WOHA) that specialize, among others, in the designing of skyscrapers have played a major role in the development of technological ideas and architectural forms for such extraordinary engineering structures. Among their completed projects, there are examples of high-rise buildings that set a precedent for future development. Keywords: high-rise buildings; development; geometrical forms; structural system; advanced materials; damping systems; sustainability 1.

  • Castle Frankenstein an Der Bergstraße
    Verwaltung der Staatlichen Schlösser und Gärten Castle Frankenstein an der Bergstraße Spaziergänge durch Schlösser und Gärten Kulturerbe Hessen Boundary stones Under the sign of the "Hippe" The boundary stones at the northern wall of the castle chapel (15) date from 1556. Stones remaining from this period are very rare. These stones had to separate the district Seeheim from Frankenstein’s territory. Seeheim was under the rule of the Counts of Erbach. At the left stone (a) the sign of the "Hippe" (a former vine knife) can be seen. It is also shown at the northern wall of the old town hall of Seeheim, and it is still today part of Seeheim’s emblem. The missing upper part of the right stone (b) was also marked with this sign. 2008 both Top of the stone (b) historic stones were brought up to the castle for protection against vandalism. Originally, they were placed on the border between the municipalities Seeheim-Jugen - heim and Muehltal (territories Malchen and Nieder Beerbach). Boundary stones showing Frankenstein’s coat of arms were found in Ockstadt, Frankfurt and Buerstadt, but not near the castle. It is quite possible that they had been taken away by the Landgraf of Hessen-Darmstadt 1662.

Excitations can be caused by wind forces, pedestrian traffic, machinery or earthquakes. Natural frequencies and damping are typically low for these structures. With GERB tuned mass dampers (TMD), these vibrations can be easily reduced. All GERB TMDs, both vertical or horizon- tal, have three main components: Spring or pendulum – Oscillating Mass – Viscodamper® (viscous fluid damper). Every TMD is exactly tuned to the main natural frequency of the structure. Although TMDs have been well-known for a long time, it is still difficult to pro- vide exact tuning and predefined system damping.

  • Garden Gate Tower San Jose, Ca
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GARDEN GATE TOWER SAN JOSE, CA A 290-UNIT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cushman and Wakefield, as exclusive advisor, is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a 100% fee simple interest in a development site for ±290 residential units in the heart of Silicon Valley. The property is called Garden Gate Tower and is located in Downtown San Jose at 600 S. 1st Street & 618 1st Street. Silicon Valley is home to some of the region’s most prestigious technology companies with an existing infrastructure geared for growth. Garden Gate Tower’s location provides excellent access to the area’s new transit center at Diridon Station, where Caltrain, Light Rail and soon BART, will meet for the first time and provide transit access to anywhere in the Bay Area. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS RARE SILICON VALLEY DEVELOPMENT SITE This site is underway for a 290-unit residential development in one of the most housing-starved markets in the U.S. Since 2011, Santa Clara County has added 250,900 JOBS and only 50,501 HOUSING UNITS, creating a housing crisis. Silicon Valley municipalities have been reticent to add housing politically which has led to a tremendous lack of housing supply, which has led to a price increase. UNPARALLELED CORPORATE INTEREST In the last 12 months San Jose has seen unparalleled activity for corporate office tenants. Google has purchase $350 Million of land to facilitate a new eight million square foot campus. WeWork has started almost 500,000 square feet of acquisitions, all while Adobe is starting to construct their brand new 600,000 square foot tower.
