Floating foundations vs. caisson (pile) foundations

See a new quieter and more concise version of this video at: www.youtube.com (rev Aug. 19, 2011 by JJ). Jim Janossy conducts a 7 minute illustrated discussion of early Chicago School of architecture "floating" foundations and the later-developed caisson foundations that replaced them for tall building construction. Update June 4, 2011: Thanks folks! I am gratified by this response and over 15000 views! I only created this as an aid for students in my Autumn "Explore Chicago" course at DePaul University and am surprised it has wider appeal! These are fun to make using simple software. See another of my courses at this qWikLink (URL alias): q123.us/200 this is CSC-200 at DePaul and we cover all sorts of sound, still, and video editing as well as computer games, animation, and other modern topics hands-on! Free e-book there.

A Look at Floating Wind Farms: Harnessing Offshore Energy

Complete Premium video at: fora.tv Habib Dagher, Structural Engineering Professor at the University of Maine, describes the concept of offshore wind turbines that float in deep water. Currently, the only fully operational floating wind turbine in the world is located in Norway and serves as a model for a planned offshore wind farm in Maine. Ironically, engineers borrowed the design from floating oil and gas rigs. ----- Habib Dagher, the Bath Iron Works Professor of Structural Engineering at the University of Maine, is the founding director of the AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center. Established by the National Science Foundation in 1996, the interdisciplinary AEWC Center is a world leader in the development of cost-effective, high performance hybrid composite materials for construction applications. The center recently received $15 million in funding from the Department of Energy for the development of offshore wind energy off Maine's coast. - Chautauqua Institution Dr. Habib Dagher is Professor of Civil/Structural Engineering at the University of Maine, Bath Iron Works Professor of Structural Engineering, and founding Director of the AEWC Advanced Structures & Composites Center.
