provides an in-depth evaluation of the structure of a home, including any issues that may ultimately impact its safety and value. An evaluation by an experienced home inspector should take at least two hours, or perhaps more for an older home or a building with obvious maintenance issues. Magnolia Property Consultants, LLC, Nashville home inspectors with extensive construction experience, explain what you can expect from each of their inspections.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) leads a $280 million initiative enabling researchers to recreate the most destructive natural forces on Earth by shaking and rocking full-sized structures. [1] In one experiment, Professor Tara Hutchinson tests steel beam resilience on the apparatus, on San Diego’s outer limits. The earthquake machine utilizes strain gauges and accelerometers numbering in the hundreds to record the many forces that artificially induced seismic activity places on the structure

The history of American housing is vast and in some areas complex, the Native Americans lived in harmony with the land and saw it as an extension of themselves and used it to their advantage when building shelter. Early settlers in the plains had to become resourceful in how they constructed their shelters. The industrial revolution gave raise to better, faster and more consistent materials.

Yet these monumental sites are vulnerable due to both natural and man-made effects. As an example of such effects is an earthquake (2200 BC) at Tell Basta that is believed to be responsible for the total collapse of the pharaonic temple located in eastern Nile Delta in Sharqiya Governorate )Khalil, 2011(. The knowledge of historical structural behavior permits to focus our attention

homes in San Francisco were damaged based on location and some were destroyed leaving thousands homeless. In the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, buildings that were located on soft mud land that was reclaimed from the San Francisco bay suffered four times more damage and ground shaking than those built on bedrock.

and studied. Jefferson was also the second vice president and the third president of the United States of America. There is a history in the United States of holding whatever the Presidents have and do as national treasures. This includes the building in which they were born, grew up in, lived in, and died in. It seems that the popularity and success of the President is also a variable in the public’s eye. Under this assumption, Monticello would also be studied since it is the place where one
