I'd certainly prefer the drainage to be on top, it'd be mess to do anything with the drain with the current proposal. Maintenance of the drain in the area of the cable will be on the power company. Next time I talk to them I'll suggest it'd be in their best interest to put the power cable...

A power cable is going to be put through my land alongside an open drainage ditch. My main concern with this is ensuring the field drainage is done properly as maintenance after the fact will be difficult. The contractor is intending to put the drainage under the cable as per below. Is this...

Found a drawing of the bridge fender design. There is a report which analysed the impact resistance of the bridge which I've not been able to find.

ASME BTH is the most thorough standard I've seen for pinned lifting connections, it references papers where the calculations are compared to test results. Anyone who knows what they're doing solves these problems with hand calculations. To do this with FEA would require the clevis, pin and the...

The issue is the foreign ship can't pick up containers in SF and offload them in SoCal. So containers will never be moved by ship between those locations, only by road or rail. There's no prospect of the act going away, the cost is distributed amongst everyone and there's a strong lobby in is...

TLDR; US Navy divers working with Norwegians planted C4 shaped charges under the cover of a NATO exercise. The charges were later detonated using a sonar buoy dropped by an aircraft.
