  • Improving the Technical Knowledge and Background Level in Engineering Training by the Education Digitalization Process
    E3S Web of Conferences 273, 12099 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202127312099 INTERAGROMASH 2021 Improving the technical knowledge and background level in engineering training by the education digitalization process Konstantin Kryukov, Svetlana Manzhilevskaya*, Konstantin Tsapko, and Irina Belikova Don State University, 344000, Rostov-on-Don, Russia Abstract. The modern technical education digitalization implies an increase in the role of the information component in the training of students. At the same time there is a certain gap between the modern technologies training and the understanding of the fact that construction industry is the mixture of historically formed features and the current state of the industry. Nowadays construction industry is under continuous technical development. The main danger of an insufficient attention to the special aspects of the construction development is the neglect of the preservation of cultural background and architectural heritage, which can be observed in the modern life. The article deals with the issues of improving the effectiveness of the educational process of students by introducing into the educational training process not only modern methods of designing building structures, but also the issues of understanding the history of the emergence of individual construction objects. The construction object can't appear out of nothing. All constructive solution is preceded by a historical situation the situation of cultural and architectural heritage. However, there is no discernible connection between technical education and the humanities and social sciences. The authors use historical examples to justify the need for the use of elements of the humanities by a teacher of a higher technical educational institution with the introduction of the capabilities of modern digital information modeling technologies.

  • Eiffel Towerby: Elliot
    Eiffel Tower by: Elliot Where is the structure located? The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris, France; which is located in Europe. The Eiffel tower is one of the wonders in the globe. About one hundred sixty-seven million people have visited the Eiffel Tower in France. Who built the structure? The person who built the Eiffel tower is called, Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. Eiffel was born on December 15, 1832 and died on December 28, 1923. He was one of the greatest (civil) engineers of all time. After he graduated from École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in 1885, he began constructing objects out of metal. He began constructing the Eiffel tower in 1887 and finished two years later (1889). After the Eiffel tower was completed, he was known as The Magician of Iron. The Eiffel tower is made of wrought iron. Why was the structure built? Alexandre Gustave Eiffel built the Eiffel Tower for the 1889 world’s fair in May. The world’s fair was for the hundredth centenary of the French revolution. They thought it was a great idea. It was one of the tallest buildings of its time until the Chrysler building was built. How does this structure develop or change? The Eiffel tower is repainted every seven years with fifty tons of dark, brown paint so it won’t look rusty. They paint the Eiffel tower with three shades of brown. The bottom of the Eiffel is the darkest shade of brown and the top is the lightest shade. They paint it with fifteen hundred paint brushes and only twenty-five painters in fifteen months.

  • Statue of Liberty
    Statue of Liberty https://www.ducksters.com/history/us_1800s/statue_of_liberty.php ushistorystatueofliberty.mp3 The Statue of Liberty Photo by Ducksters The Statue of Liberty is a large statue that stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The statue was a gift from the people of France and was dedicated on October 28, 1886. It has become one of the most iconic symbols of the United States of America. The official name of the statue is "Liberty Enlightening the World", but she also goes by other names including "Lady Liberty" and the "Mother of Exiles." What does she represent? The statue represents the freedom and liberty of the United States democracy. The figure is modeled after a Roman goddess named Libertas. The torch she holds high represents the enlightenment of the world. There are also broken chains at her feet that symbolize the United State breaking free from tyranny. She holds a tablet in her left hand that represents the law and has July 4, 1776 inscribed on it in Roman numerals. How tall is she? Statue of Liberty https://www.ducksters.com/history/us_1800s/statue_of_liberty.php The height of the statue from the base to the tip of the torch is 151 feet 1 inch (46 meters). If you include the pedestal and the foundation, she is 305 feet 1 inch tall (93 meters). This is about the height of a 30 story building. Some other interesting measurements for the statue include her head (17 feet 3 inches tall), her nose (4 feet 6 inches long), her right arm (42 feet long), and her index finger (8 feet long).

  • Famous French People Gustave Eiffel © by Robert Shepherd
    Famous French People Gustave Eiffel © by Robert Shepherd Hello, you're listening to Robert Shepherd on EnglishWaves. It's time to review the life of a great civil engineer and architect who was behind the creation of France's most famous free- standing structure and New York's Statue of Liberty. He is of course Gustave Eiffel. He was born Alexandre Gustave Bönickhausen in the French city of Dijon, on 15th December 1832. The family surname Eiffel was adopted - a nod to the Eifel mountains near where they came from. They always went by the name Eiffel, but Gustave's surname was only formally changed from Bönickhausen in 1880. Eiffel knew very early on what he wanted to do with his life, so he studied at the École Centrale in Paris. Having graduated in 1855, Eiffel specialized in metal construction, most notably bridges and worked on several over the next few decades. One of Eiffel's early projects came about in 1858, when he oversaw the building of an iron bridge in Bordeaux. By 1866 Eiffel had set up his own company and by the time he designed the arched Gallery of Machines for the Paris Exhibition in 1867, his reputation was solid. His works include the 525-foot steel-arched Ponte Maria Pia Bridge in Oporto and the renowned 540-foot Viaduc de Garabit in France. Suspended 400 feet above the surface of the water, it was the highest bridge in the world for years after its construction. However, Eiffel moved away from bridges and that's when he created his most famous structures.

Educated as a civil engineer at the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, Eiffel had a career spanned over fifty years during which he designed dozens of legendary iron and steel structures, including the Porto Viaduct in Portugal, the supporting structure for the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris – the structure that cemented his name in history. This long and successful career brought him considerable wealth, and late in his life he decided to invest in the newly emerging field of aeronautics. At the age when many people retire, Eiffel built and operated some of the finest aeronautical research tools of his day using his own funds. In 1909, at the foot of his famous tower, Gustave Eiffel built one of the first wind tunnels dedicated to a new science: Aerodynamics. In 1912, the wind tunnel was moved to Auteuil, in Paris, where it is still in operation. He gathered data systematically setting new standards for measurement accuracy. His wind tunnels and methods served as models for subsequent laboratories around the world. This article traces the evolution of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel as an engineer and scientist, and gives a short overview of the celebration of the centenary of the Eiffel wind tunnel at Auteuil.

BILLINGTON Contemporary writing on architecture, following art history, tends to focus on formal analysis where visual ideas dominate the discussion of the origin and meaning of style. Technology is rarely touched upon; and structure, although generally understood as necessary, is hardly seen as a legitimate giver of form, even for large-scale building.' This modern point of view must be understood, at least partly, as a reaction to the ideas of Eugene Viollet-le-Duc (1814-79), self-trained architect, restorer, archaeologist, and theorist. Mainly on the basis of his extensive practical experience with the restoration of medieval monuments, Viollet-le-Duc compiled a ten-volume encyclopedia, Dic- tionnaire raisonne de l'architecturefranfaise du XIe au XVIe siecle (1854- 68), that remains even today probably the single most important pub- lished work on medieval building technology (fig.
