Concrete Damping
At long last, Hal Amick has completed the second of his two journal papers on the damping properties of concrete which document his research at Berkeley. The first was published in the May 2006 issue of Materials Journal of the American Concrete order carisoprodol online Institute and dealt with the damping properties of plain concrete. […]...
Long-Span Floors
CGA has a long history with long-span floors, primarily for fabs and flat-panel facilities, and mostly in Asia. These have unique dynamic features, and behave differently under localized excitation from loading such as footfall. As interest grows in non-semiconductor applications of these structures, where footfall takes on a greater buy soma london importance (since heavy […]...
Recent Research from Facilities where CGA provided Consulting
NanoGUNE – Nanoscale infrared spectroscopy instrument gets a boost by a thermal source An instrument that allows for recording infrared spectra with a thermal source at a resolution that is 100 times better than convconventional infrared spectroscopy is now possible, thanks to a development by researchers from CIC nanoGUNE and Neaspec can i buy phentermine at […]...
Voids beneath concrete slabs
CGA has seen an upturn in work related to non-destructive hammer testing of concrete slabs-on-grade, which documents the presence or absence of voids beneath the slab. (This can be due to either localized settlement or slab curling.) An article on this was published by several staff members in the July 2009 issue of Concrete International, […]...
Infrasound
Michael Gendreau’s recent focus has been on the impact of low-frequency sound (infrasound, or sound at frequencies below 100 Hz) on the research environment. He has given presentations at several conferences (Paris, Krakow, and Reno), and his work relating noise levels to resolution in high-end imaging systems will form the basis of a set of […]...
CGA starts work on third particle physics facility!
Design work has begun on the second beamline for the Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS II) at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). Design work is kicking off on the second beamline for the Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS II) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The prime designer is HDR Architecture. Accelerators are highly […]...
