Abstract:
In Ethiopia, infrastructure development remains one of the largely neglected areas of historical research. This paper, therefore, surveys the history of road building and its socio-economic impact in East Gojjam from 1941 to 2005. To this end, archival documents, oral information and secondary sources were consulted. The findings show that the post-liberation imperial period saw no significant development on the opening of new routes. Road construction reawakened during the military regime. It witnessed promising road networks that encompassed highway, feeder and rural roads. In contrast, road construction remained sluggish during the reign of the Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) under discussion. The transitional government lifetime (1991-1995) was in particular a gloomy period. The failure of successive governments in expanding the road network emanated from economic, political, policy and related issues. Despite this, the impact of the nascent road network that extended all through the three regimes is clearly observable from the increasingly socio-economic interaction that appeared in the region and beyond.

Abstract:
The object of the study is the history of the formation of the federal highway construction system in the United States before the First World War. The subject of the study is the economic, social and political prerequisites for the emergence of the idea of federal financing of road construction. The article examines the socio-political struggle that unfolded in American society at the beginning of the XX century on the need for federal participation in the creation of a highway network. The most important link in the Government's road policy was the creation of a system of federal agencies dealing with road construction problems. The study of this issue allows us to trace the evolution of the approaches of the public and politicians in solving the problem of the separation of powers of the states and the federal government in the field of road construction. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the issue of federal funding is considered in the context of traditional discussions about the separation of powers of the states and the federal government, as well as the problems of strategic planning. The authors' attention is focused on the fact that previously the allocation of money for the construction of roads from federal funds was considered an unacceptable measure that violates the constitutional autonomy of the states. But strategic problems demanded a new look at this feature of the US state structure. The results of the study allow us to conclude that the Federal Road Assistance Act of 1916 meant recognition of the need for federal regulation of road construction and became an important precedent that opened up the possibility of creating a nationwide road network in the future.

Abstract:
The construction of sea toll roads is one of the manifestations of President Jokowi’s superior program for strengthening Indonesia’s identity as a maritime country and to develop Indonesia as a whole from west to east. The necessity for sea toll road construction aims to improve the distribution of goods and trade commodities, particularly for the purpose of balancing the economic gap between the western and eastern regions of Indonesia. On the other hand, the construction of sea toll roads could possibly have an impact on archaeological objects, especially the remains of historic shipwrecks that have sunk and spread in several Indonesian territorial waters. Moreover, some of these remains are located on or adjacent to sea lane paths which will indirectly be affected by the deepening of the program in the context of the sea toll road construction. This paper aims to disseminate information about the tangible proofs of Indonesian cultural richness and long maritime history that have not been fully revealed and are threatened by potential damage and destruction if no necessary action is taken. Most importantly, this paper attempts to propose a strategy for constructing sea toll roads by taking into account the use and preservation of potential historical shipwreck remains which are still scattered in several territorial waters of Indonesia.

Abstract:
Currently, no academic work examines the history of the legality of roads in Chile during its independent existence as a sovereign country. Addressing this gap in the literature, this paper focuses specially on the period from 1842 to 1969, when different actors articulated a set of guiding ideas about the duties of the state and the legal powers of the administrative authority in terms of planning, construction and management of road infrastructure that would allow connectivity between population centers and across regions, according to the ideas and resources available at their historical time. This historical overview of Chilean “road law” is done in the light of insights and questions of contemporary intellectual history and institutional history. In this regard, it is argued that the evolution of road infrastructure norms and institutions during the period under study can be divided into three historical regimes, based on their fundamental legislative milestones, guiding ideas, institutional settings, and strategies of state action: from 1842 to 1887, a period of a decentralized “minimal road state” with precarious roads characterized by both material and juridical uncertainty; from 1887 to 1920, the emergence of a “proto-developmentalist road state” intent on strengthening its grip on the nationwide road infrastructure; and from 1920 to 1969, a period of a “techno-developmentalist road state” that created a nationwide paved road network for the new technology of mobile vehicles.

Abstract:
This article follows the debate on the implementation of the road cess in late nineteenth-century Bengal. To understand how ‘cess’ was defined, it enters the discussion on the problematic category of the ‘local’. The debate in the official circles mainly addressed two questions: whether ‘cess’ was a legal tax or not, and whether cess should be a local tax or a centralized one. The thematic division of the article coincides with the chronology of the road cess in India. The Bengal District Road Cess Act was passed in 1871. The debate on the appropriate incidence of the tax—whether its burden was to be borne by travellers on these roads, or by landholders for the construction of the roads—had intensified by the 1850s. Decades earlier, in the 1810s, the revenue officers of Bengal set out to inquire into the probable existence of a road tax in Shahabad district of Bihar. This article will trace the protracted stages of the history of the road cess in India from the 1780s to 1900, traversing through the theoretical debates on the Permanent Settlement and the practical experiences of cess collection in various districts.

Abstract The construction of toll roads in Klaten Regency supports community connectivity in increasing economic growth and accessibility to tourist areas around the southern part of Java Island. The location of this study is in Polanharjo District, Klaten Regency. The study area has geological conditions, sandy volcanic ash, and shallow groundwater levels and is accompanied by a history of earthquakes that have occurred greater than Mw. 5.0. These three things are triggers for liquefaction. This study discusses the stability analysis of toll road embankments at the STA. 10+724 on the construction of the Solo - Yogyakarta - YIA Kulon Progo Toll Road due to the potential for liquefaction reaching 14 meters. The road embankment construction is placed on the ground surface, which has the potential for liquefaction with a height of up to 5 meters. Calculate the safety factor using the numerical simulation finite element (Plaxis v.8.2 software) with static and pseudostatic analysis. Numerical calculations show that the stability analysis of toll road embankments placed on the ground with the liquefaction potential is still safe for construction with a safety factor on the static analysis (SF: 1.989 > 1.5) and pseudostatic analysis (SF: 1.912 > 1.1).

Abstract:
The traffic on Jalan Panjang Jiwo Permai before the construction of the hospital was quite heavy due to obstacles from cars leading to the Ubaya University parking lot, these obstacles will continue to increase because the road is a commercial area. In the commercial area of the road there are many shop houses and schools around the road which create big obstacles during school or work hours and when going home. The construction of the Ubaya Hospital has added to the traffic obstacles on the road because many trucks of construction materials will frequently cross the road. So it is necessary to carry out an analysis of the performance evaluation of the road sections due to the development to determine the speed value for the comfort of road users. This study uses the 1997 MKJI method as the basis for the analysis of road evaluation calculations. In this analysis, the researcher obtains the components of the calculation by conducting field surveys directly on weekdays and holidays. The results obtained from this study were that before the construction of road users used a speed of 48 km/hour, then during construction there was a decrease in speed of 43 km/hour by road users which caused inconvenience to road users and reduced the quality of workers' time due to traffic barriers.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation argues that the period 1900-1963 may be seen as one in which various models for the governance of roads and their users were developed. Demands for governance came from road campaigners and governmental bodies; these various groups called for, and attempted to implement, such governance in various ways. Of all these methods, scientific governance, via experiment and road network architecture, came decisively to supervene. The development of centralised and localised forms of governance, channelled through the civil and traffic engineering implemented by its County Surveyors, facilitated the state governance of Britain's road network and its users. The co-operation of road users was vital to the success of this state governance. Previously a law unto themselves, road users (most especially motorists) were self-governed by a gentlemanly code of tacit rules of the road. Overhauling the mindset and behaviour of road users first required the reform of the systematic structures of highway administration, along with legislative enforcement. This, however, was dependent upon the premise of central governance and thus government acceptance of roads as a national responsibility. This state of affairs brought with it two important factors. First, the financial means to fund road improvement measures was provided. Second, centres of scientific investigations were established, and credible methods developed, to explore advanced methods of construction and systems of traffic control. Understanding the interaction of roads, vehicles, and users was fundamental to the successful implementation of scientific governance. Roads were a socio-technical problem that required a scientific solution, both in terms of their physical construction and in terms of the ways in which they were used, and used safely. Science was in-built into in the driving experience through such innovations as the use of white lines, the implementation of speed limits, road layouts and road signs. Together, these and other developments constructed the British road network, and worked as means of governing user behaviour. The result of all these factors and developments was the State-based, scientific governance of British roads and their users.

Elle construit des territoires, de nouvelles frontières, de nouveaux espaces. La route crée des inégalités. La route est un symbole de modernité. Elle est le lieu où s'opposent progrès et tradition. Les routes des Alpes sont le théâtre d'une confrontation entre deux modes de pensée, celui des ingénieurs, et celui des sociétés rurales. Si la route ne permet pas toujours le désenclavement des sociétés de montagnes, elle est à l'origine de leur transformation. Les différentes voies du réseau routier dans les zones de montagne du Dauphiné assurent un trafic régional. Cependant la route permet aussi le plein essor du tourisme au XX° siècle.

Rehnberg, Adam. "Suspension design for off-road construction machines." Doctoral thesis, KTH, Fordonsdynamik, 2011. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-33883.

Full text
Abstract:
Construction machines, also referred to as engineering vehicles or earth movers, are used in a variety of tasks related to infrastructure development and material handling. While modern construction machines represent a high level of sophistication in several areas, their suspension systems are generally rudimentary or even nonexistent. This leads to unacceptably high vibration levels for the operator, particularly when considering front loaders and dump trucks, which regularly traverse longer distances at reasonably high velocities. To meet future demands on operator comfort and high speed capacity, more refined wheel suspensions will have to be developed. The aim of this thesis is therefore to investigate which factors need to be considered in the fundamental design of suspension systems for wheeled construction machines. The ride dynamics of wheeled construction machines are affected by a number of particular properties specific to this type of vehicle. The pitch inertia is typically high in relation to the mass and wheelbase, which leads to pronounced pitching. The axle loads differ considerably between the loaded and the unloaded condition, necessitating ride height control, and hence the suspension properties may be altered as the vehicle is loaded. Furthermore, the low vertical stiffness of off-road tyres means that changes in the tyre properties will have a large impact on the dynamics of the suspended mass. The impact of these factors has been investigated using analytical models and parameters for a typical wheel loader. Multibody dynamic simulations have also been used to study the effects of suspended axles on the vehicle ride vibrations in more detail. The simulation model has also been compared to measurements performed on a prototype wheel loader with suspended axles. For reasons of manoeuvrability and robustness, many construction machines use articulated frame steering. The dynamic behaviour of articulated vehicles has therefore been examined here, focusing on lateral instabilities in the form of “snaking” and “folding”. A multibody dynamics model has been used to investigate how suspended axles influence the snaking stability of an articulated wheel loader. A remote-controlled, articulated test vehicle in model-scale has also been developed to enable safe and inexpensive practical experiments. The test vehicle is used to study the influence of several vehicle parameters on snaking stability, including suspension, drive configuration and mass distribution. Comparisons are also made with predictions using a simplified linear model. Off-road tyres represent a further complication of construction machine dynamics, since the tyres’ behaviour is typically highly nonlinear and difficult to evaluate in testing due to the size of the tyres. A rolling test rig for large tyres has here been evaluated, showing that the test rig is capable of producing useful data for validating tyre simulation models of varying complexity. The theoretical and experimental studies presented in this thesis contribute to the deeper understanding of a number of aspects of the dynamic behaviour of construction machines. This work therefore provides a basis for the continued development of wheel suspensions for such vehicles.<br>QC 20110531

Abstract:
In road construction, earthwork operations account for about 25% of the construction costs. Existing linear programming models for earthwork logistics optimization are designed to minimize the hauling costs and to balance the earth across the construction site. However, these models do not consider the removal of physical blocks that may influence the earthwork process. In this thesis, we extend the linear programming model of Mayer and Stark (1981) with the addition of a block removal schedule. The resulting model is a mixed-integer linear program. We analyze the model size and the schedule search space in order to make conclusion about the use of the model. Based on structural observations, we introduce a set of algorithms that significantly reduce the solving time of the model. Finally, we conduct numerical experiments to compare our solutions with the solutions of a traditional earthwork process that makes use of linear programming. From our numerical results, we conclude that an optimal removal schedule produces solutions that are 4.1% cheaper on average than a traditional method, with savings that can go as high as 19%. We conclude our discussion with possible extensions to the model, that can help an engineer to design roads that are more economical and ecological with respect to the earthwork operations.

This is a bachelor thesis in the course Industrial Automation, PPU301, commissioned by Volvo Construction Equipment in Eskilstuna. This thesis treats how we can increase the effectiveness of production in roadside construction through automation. The report presents different concepts of automation and in the end of the report you can read about the concept I recommend and why. The work has been divided into different stages. In the first stage I have collected information by reading articles and by site visits. The black top process has been identified though a storyboard. The focus is on which machine that would benefit the most from automation. After identifying the process and the customer’s needs, I get a clear view of what the machines should be able to do. After studying both the paver and compactor, I decided to focus on the compactor. There are significant potential for further development of the compactors in regards of automation. I will present a concept of a totally autonomous compactor. The compactor must, among other things, be able to position and identify objects, like machines, workers and other road users. The compactor needs to get a clear signal when the road piece is finished with compaction. The packing operation is automatic controlled depending on the type of mix of asphalt, thickness and speed. There are different solutions to make the compactor autonomous. In the report, I have detailed the different concepts and the sensors needed to realize an autonomous machine.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the politics and consequences of road construction for local populations and migrant road workers in Ladakh. Through a political ecology framework, I consider road construction as the transformation of an environment in which different agents act through specific socio-political arrangements and for purposes that are socially and culturally mediated. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in remote villages and among groups of Nepali and Jharkhandi road workers in Ladakh, the thesis documents the case of the Zanskar Highway, a 292 km long trans- Himalayan road that has been under construction since the 1970s. It analyses the reasons why states build roads, nationally and more specifically in the contested landscape of Ladakh; why people want roads; how people negotiate roads and their trajectory; and what the consequences of roads and road construction are in terms of mobility, isolation, resource use, livelihoods and well-being. In the thesis, I question the roads-development nexus, and argue that the reasons why states build roads are extremely diverse and have changed over time. I argue that road construction is a highly political process determined by conflicting motivations and perceptions. I also argue that the consequences of roads are complex, often ambiguous and region-specific, and that gains and losses that occur because of roads and their construction are unequally distributed, within and between local and migrant populations. The research makes an original contribution to road studies by studying the political, socio-economic and symbolic consequences of both roads and the process of their construction for the populations that live near new roads and those who build them. It also links ex-ante with ex-post road studies by looking at what happens during the process of construction. Finally, it contributes to Ladakh studies by documenting the history of road construction in the region and providing the first study of migrants in Ladakh.

Full text
Abstract:
Construction progress monitoring allows schedule and/or cost deviations to be identified early enough to effectively implement corrective actions. At least 77% of transportation projects experience cost overruns, and as much as 75% of these overruns have been attributed to “real” construction management factors like progress monitoring. Progress is measured on road construction sites in terms of completion percentages at various activity and work package levels. This percentage is then used to identify schedule deviations and support the earned value analysis often used as the baseline for contractor progress payments. Unfortunately, the current methods for producing these completion percentages are not as correct or time efficient as they should be to enable effective project control. The objective of this research is to develop, test, and validate a novel solution for automatically producing completion percentages and progress status determinations that are more correct and time efficient than those generated in current practice. The proposed solution seeks to automatically detect incremental progress on road design layers in 3D as-built point cloud data generated using unmanned aerial photogrammetry and a novel data simulation approach. A parallel as-planned progress estimate is also automatically prepared using 4D information, and the progress status determinations are made by comparing the two results. This solution was tested on 15 datasets (13 simulated and 2 real-world) representing a variety of road designs and progress conditions. The method achieved an average 95% F1 score in layer detection on the real-world data, and mostly outperformed current practice in correctness. The automated processing of as-built and as-planned data to produce the progress estimate took 12 seconds for the real world data, which was indeed faster than the current practice equivalent. Although the research objectives were met, there remains room for further improvement, particularly in regards to the solution’s robustness to occlusions on the monitored surfaces.

Abstract:
Abstract The international working group “greening freight” of PIARCs Technical Committee on freight investigated the strategies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of road freight transport. In this article we will discuss the outcome of this work, i.e. a report that describes plans, strategies, and programs for greening, and distinguishes four approaches to reduce GHG emissions. It starts with a description of the global problem of human-induced climate change, depicting the situation in both HIC (high income countries) and LMIC (low- &amp; middle-income countries) around the world. The first of the four approaches to reduce GHG emissions is about having less emissions from each vehicle. The second approach focuses on driving less and transport more goods per vehicle. The third approach deals with changing the transporting demand by vehicles that run on fossil fuels. The fourth approach is the reduction of transport emissions related to the construction sector. The report also presents lessons learnt from history, targets to help shape policy and solutions to implement policies and achieve objectives.

Abstract:
AbstractEach country has a national story that forges a sense of identity and – as Patrick Finney put it – while language, religion, culture, and traditions are key elements, war has traditionally been at the core of identity construction, shaping the collective national sentiment and the sense of Self (Finney, Remembering the Road to World War Two: International history, national identity, collective memory. Routledge, 2011).Recently, scholars have increasingly become interested in the way in which war and war experiences frame collective identities. From this perspective war and identity are closely intertwined, and this interactive process can explain not only how identities are created but how they may produce various typologies of warfare practices and states’ conduct. Such a conceptual paradigm provides new windows to a study of past wars but also prepares the ground for a better understating of current or future conflicts.Which role does military history play in the collective identity of nations and other collectives, how does war memory shape the architecture of identity construction, and how does identity-memory dynamics frame states’ strategic thinking? These are the central questions of this text. While the possible answers to such questions depend on multiple variables, there is a broad scholarly consensus that this is an area of research that needs to be further explored, especially in the light of new advancements in the field of cultural and social studies. Wars are fought on two main fronts: on the battlefield and in people’s minds where it maintains an enduring influence that is preserved over generations. The way people remember and memorialize the experiences of war allows us to gain a more comprehensive view on the set of practices, norms, values, and emotions that shape collective identities and determine typologies of state behavior in military and security affairs.

Abstract:
AbstractReconciliation has played an important role in all peacebuilding processes. Its importance depends on multiple factors in play and on interests that are not only material but also symbolic, ethical–political and social. In this regard, the European Union, as an international and strategic actor in Colombia in recent decades, has been supporting different peace processes in the country. In practice, this has meant understanding peace as the construction and strengthening of the rule of law, expanding the system of guarantees and openly promoting processes of transitional justice, all elements that the European Union supported with the Peace Agreement of 2016. This chapter aims to analyse the European Union’s track record in terms of peace and reconciliation in Colombia. Furthermore, it looks at the history of three European Union interventions in Colombia through the Peace Laboratories, support for the CNRR and the creation and action of the European Fund for Peace. Finally, the text includes a series of reflections and suggestions about how to continue this work in favour of reconciliation in the South American country through European external cooperation and action.

Abstract:
Transporting cargo has been a goal of helicopter operations since the earliest days of development. The concept of carrying passengers and cargo from and to remote locations without a runway was originally exploited by the US military in times of peace and war. Early helicopter designs were limited in fixed useful load after onboarding crew and fuel. The 1940's saw helicopters transporting small, lightweight packages on an as-needed basis. The decade of the 1960's started seeing heavy lift helicopters transporting specialty loads in construction and logistics supply, again on an as-needed basis. Today, several Part 135 helicopter operators offer as needed VTOL cargo services. Blade Air Mobility has developed a successful public company business model in Part 135 passenger transport and is also expanding in carrying parcels. With the advent of transformative VTOL air vehicle designs, there has been increasing emphasis on examining parcel delivery on a regular basis. As omni-channel ecommerce drives the ever-increasing need for same day delivery post order. Retails and distributors need to compete with big box retailers and warehouse companies such as Walmart and Amazon, respectively. This results in reducing or eliminating over-the-road transport delivery. The future of parcel and cargo distribution is proposed to be with VTOL air vehicles. To understand the future of such distribution, it is imperative to examine the development of helicopter size, performance, and operational uses.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;OA666 bridge on the new part continuing the A4 highway in Luxembourg towards France (structure completed in 2017-2019) shows the interest steel-concrete composite solutions for modern infrastructure projects. The deck is extremely slender: the central parts spans 50m with a constant structural height of 1.35 m. The geometry is a bit complex since the road axis follows a clothoidal path with a minimum radius of 640m in the horizontal plane and crosses an existing roadway with a variable skew angle. The construction site is encercled by existing local roads and a lake. The steelwork (total weight 1300 tons, total length 126m) is realized entirely in S460 thermo-mechanical steel with material thicknesses up to 100mm.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;The history of Civil Engineering in XXI century as well as the history of dams is still to be written. We could certainly begin with the eminent Swiss engineer Giovanni Lombardi (1926-2017), a genius in the field of structural engineering and tunnel construction. He built many “cathedrals of energy” around the world: dams or hydroelectric power stations, introducing innovative solutions in design and calculation. This progress was linked to economic and social pressures of the same period, including the energy (oil) crisis and the need to increase the dam’s reservoirs. His main structures are Muttsee dam (CH), Zeuzier dam (CH), Contra dam (CH), Zimapan dam (MX) and also railway and road tunnels (Gotthard, Gibraltar). This paper aims to outline the history of Giovanni Lombardi through his pioneering mind, his scientific contribution, and technical innovation in a Swiss and global context, highlighting how his engineering can be considered an art.&lt;/p&gt;

Full text
Abstract:
Exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines are one of the leading sources of fine particulate matter emissions in urban areas. Off-road engines account for a substantial portion of the total emissions, and are subject to increasingly strict legislation as well as voluntary emissions reduction programs. The benefits of various emissions reduction programs are typically quantified with simplified, short duration field tests. In an inquiry into the suitability of such tests, this paper examines experimental data collected by portable, on-board monitoring systems on truck, tractor, construction equipment, marine and locomotive diesel engines with rated power ranging from 130 to 1550 hp and displacement ranging from 4 to 163 liters. In engines operated extensively at low load, such as some locomotive engines, substantial amounts of solids and liquids accumulate inside of the engine and in the exhaust system. These deposits are then driven off during subsequent operation at high load. As a result, the emissions of particulate matter may be elevated for a rather long time, on the order of tens of minutes, which is longer than the duration of the individual modes of most field emissions tests. Therefore, the emissions of fine particles measured during short (units of minutes per mode) tests may be affected by the accumulated deposits. If this phenomenon is overlooked and not properly accounted for, the measurements may be less repeatable or comparable, and the particulate matter emissions based on such measurements may be overestimated. On the other hand, it is not clear that the problem can be remedied if the engine is diligently preconditioned prior to the measurement — in this case, the measured values do not account for “excess” emissions associated with extended low-load operation.

Abstract:
This project refers to the construction of a 3D map of Thessaloniki’s historical route. The Yedi Kule Conquest – Monument Road Race took place in the old city of Thessaloniki, which was built during the Byzantine and Ottoman period. The purpose of this project is the digital recording of the castles, the monuments, the old churches, the traditional buildings, and the squares which are prime examples of the architectural beauty of the place. The methodology of the project is based on the online software Google Earth Studio and Adobe Premiere Pro. These are the tools of digitization, rendering, and building process of the animation. With this methodology, the authors achieved the documentation of land use and the architectural landscape. The animation is a credible graphic index of the historical background of Thessaloniki. The Yedi Kule area constitutes of a cultural mosaic made from different historic periods. The buildings and the neighbourhoods give the sense of transition of the narrow roads, the old Christian churches, the house of the first Turkish governor, and the byzantine castle to the modern city. In Thessaloniki, three historic periods coexist the Ancient Greek/Roman, the Byzantine, and Ottoman Empire. The responsibility of the governmental politics and of every citizen of Thessaloniki is to promote and preserve the historic background of the city. The final product offers a good opportunity for the digital storage of Thessaloniki’s old city. The animation creates an interactive environment that portrays the current image of the transition from the old to a modern city.

Abstract:
The analysis of old Russian and foreign maps and plans of Sevastopol, created in the 19th century, showed that already in the first decades after the founding of the city the gully (overgrown ravine) called Ushakova Balka became a full-fledged urban element, along with residential areas, industrial areas, and military fortifications. After the founding of Sevastopol, Ushakova Balka underwent very significant changes in all components of the landscape, both because of belligurative transformations and under the influence of economic activities associated with the proximity of city blocks, the construction of an aqueduct and a railway. Comparison of old and modern maps shows the inheritance of the main elements of the road and path network. Ushakova Balka is one of the oldest recreational sites in Sevastopol; therefore, the creation of protected areas here is expedient not only from a botanical point of view, but also from a historical and geographical point of view. In essence, this natural monument is a complex historicgeographical one.

Abstract:
The article discusses the development of engineering and geological research on the example of prospecting and exploration of popular common (construction) minerals in the Krasnodar Territory. A comparative characteristic of the history of engineering geology development is given by analyzing the data of the Fund of the "KUBANGEOLOGY" and the planned economy of the USSR. The set goals and objectives of the planned economy of the USSR directly stimulated engineering and geological research. The peak of prospecting and exploration of popular common (construction) minerals in the Krasnodar Territory falls on the decade from 1970 to 1980, and the main rates - for the period from 1950 to 1980 - during the intensive growth of road, industrial and civil construction. Having arisen to solve the problems of engineering and economic development of territories, engineering geology developed not only in a geological, but geotechnical channel, as evidenced by the separation of surveys from it. The final differentiation from the beginning of 1960 of engineering geology into engineering-geological surveys and engineering geology of building materials proves the need for separation of surveys due to the accumulated regulatory framework and the scale of engineering-geological research, therefore, of the "KUBANGEOLOGY" switched to monitoring of hazardous processes of the geological environment, which is confirmed by the analysis of the fund.

Abstract:
the pre-existing infrastructure of roads and aqueducts. Its strategic location near the South Pacific, initially considered safe from rival european powers of the Spanish Empire, became threatened by coastal attacks, prompting the construction of a wall in the 17th century. This fortification symbolized the city's defense and defined its urban growth.This research aims to identify the original viceregal layout hidden among the streets and blocks of modern-day Lima, as well as to project the path of the viceregal wall onto the contemporary city. The goal is to recognize remnants of the wall, explaining its construction logic and the military architectural materials of european defensive design adapted to the South American Pacific context.To achieve this, photogrammetry will be used for urban surveys, along with a geographic information system (GIS) for the georeferencing of cartographic information and historical plans. This will enable the precise establishment and validation of the existence of old layouts, uncovering the history and memory of the city, discovering hidden structures and designs, and facilitating their restoration. Additionally, it will support archaeological efforts to recover the history of viceregal Lima’s architecture and urban planning.

Abstract:
The U.S. Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) mostly through the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), which requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. This report provides a World War II development history and analysis of 786 buildings, and determinations of eligibility for those buildings, on Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Evaluation of the WWII buildings and landscape concluded that there are too few buildings with integrity to form a cohesive historic district. While the circulation patterns and roads are still intact, the buildings with integrity are scattered throughout the cantonment affecting the historic character of the landscape. Only Building 100 (post headquarters), Building 656 (dental clinic), and Building 550 (fire station) are ELIGIBLE for listing on the NRHP at the national level under Criterion A for their association with World War II temporary building construction (1942-1946) and under Criterion C for their design, construction, and technological innovation.

Abstract:
The on-site inspection resulted in the documentation of one historic-age property—the Pinnacle Overlook Developed Area. The property is located at the terminus of Pinnacle View Road (formerly known as Skyland Road) and consists of a parking area, an overlook observation platform, a network of trails, and an interpretive shelter and comfort station. At the request of the Park’s cultural resources staff, the property was documented as a historic district. The Pinnacle Overlook Developed Area is recommended eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A for its association with the recreational development of Cumberland Gap National Historical Park during the Mission 66 era. It is also recommended eligible under Criterion C as a good representative example of the design precepts and construction techniques established by the National Park Service for public-use areas constructed as part of its Mission 66 program. North Wind recommends that the Pinnacle Overlook Developed Area Historic District generally retains its integrity of location, design, setting, workmanship, feeling, and association. While the seven resources that comprise, the district are all recommended to contribute to its overall eligibility, only one—the Interpretive Shelter and Comfort Station—is recommended as individually eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A for its association with the development of interpretive programming at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park as part of its Mission 66 initiative.
