I chose to do my research on Brunelleschi's design of the dome for Florence's cathedral named Il Duomo. For decades the cathedral in Florence sat with a gaping hole in the roof allowing rain, wind, and sun to beat on the insides of the structure. In 1418 Florence’s Fathers decided to have a dome built to cover the hole. They faced quite the task as this dome would be by far the largest in the world. The planning process was intense trying to find an idea that would work to build this enormous dome

use today: hook and chain, axle cradling, and flatbed. The hook and chain is the oldest type of tow truck; it uses chains around the towed vehicle. The axle cradling type features a large metal yoke that is fitted under the front wheels; a hydraulic hoist then lifts the front end of the vehicle so it can be towed. The flatbed type of tow truck has a bed at the back of the truck that can be hydraulically moved to ground level. This then

As a construction management major I thought it was only fitting that I choose this topic. Interestingly enough, a lot of the question that were asked during the Brunelleschi's time are still being asked today when it comes to construction. Finding a solution to build an artistic roof that would fully cover the interior, and keep the outdoor elements from entering, instead of having a massive whole in their cathedrals was the motivation that led to Brunelleschi’s invention of the dome that is used

There are numerous job related skill assessments that simulate physical demands that firefighters have to endure in order to prepare them for the situations they may face while on the job. In order to pass, they must complete and pass each assessment stage within an allotted time frame. There are eight assessments that test muscular strength, agility and muscular endurance. The first assessment is the Ladder Climb, in this test subjects carry a 9 kilogram breathing cylinder up a 12.2m ladder. The

anuary third, 897 BCE, Theseus, the adolescent son of King Aegeus of Athens sought aid from the gods and the royals, they helped guide his way through the Cretan Labyrinth, allowing him to slay the monster to whom Athens had been forcibly sacrificing its youth for years. The key to Theseus’ survival was a gift from Priestess Ariadne of Crete. “The gods had gifted me with the victory, but if it wasn’t for the magic twine, I would have never found my way back,” said Theseus.

BRUNELLESCHI'S DOME In 1296, Florence, Italy, began a monumental task. They wanted the world to see how they flourished. They built an enormous cathedral but did not finish the roof. After decades of indecision, they came to an agreement; they would build a dome to transcend any other. How to build the dome was another matter. The floor plan was octagonal—eight pie shaped wedges. How could a dome reach the necessary height of 180 feet over the unique pre-existing structure, and not
