The Docks
The Docks is an eye-opening journey into a giant madhouse of activity that few outsiders ever see: the Port of Los Angeles. In a book woven throughout with riveting novelist detail and illustrated with photographs that capture the frenetic energy of the place, Bill Sharpsteen tells the story of the people who have made this port, the largest in the country, one of the nation’s most vital economic enterprises. Among others, we meet a pilot who parks ships, one of the first women longshoremen, union officials and employers at odds over almost everything, an environmental activist fighting air pollution in the "diesel death zone," and those with the nearly impossible job of enforcing security. Together these stories paint a compelling picture of a critical entryway for goods coming into the country—the Port of Los Angeles is part of a complex that brings in 40% of all our waterborne cargo and 70% of all Asian imports—yet one that is also extremely vulnerable. The Docks is a rare look at a world within our world in which we find a microcosm of the labor, environmental, and security issues we collectively face.
Dry Docks
"Hydraulic Structures are subject to varying loads of cyclic character. These loads are primarily generated by differential water heads but also by waves, drive system forces and other actions. These loads may cause fatigue damage to the steel components. As a result, the designers must take account of an additional failure mode of these structures - the failure caused by fatigue. Prior to the 1970s, fatigue was of minor or no concern for designers, constructors and managers of hydraulic structures. Several serious fatigue damages, particularly to lock gates emphasised the need for guidelines in this field. Such guidelines already exist for other steel structures, such as bridges, cranes or pressure vessels, offshore structures and airplanes. These guidelines do not, however, address all specific operation conditions and demands that apply to hydraulic structures. This report aims to offer comprehensive guidelines in the field of fatigue to all professionals involved in design, construction and management of hydraulic steel structures."--Introduction
