Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building Seattle's State Route 99 Supertunnel: Journey from light to light is a photojournalistic book documenting the building of the State Route 99 deep-bore tunnel in Seattle, Washington-a historical transportation megaproject. 'Bertha' was the largest-diameter Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machine (EPB TBM) at the time of delivery, and this project is the largest-diameter completed tunnel to-date. The underground drive ran beneath the downtown of Seattle for approximately two miles. This project provided the city with a new safe route, replacing the 65-year-old Alaskan Way Viaduct. The Viaduct was a major highway but was damaged during the 2001 Nisqually earthquake and deemed unsafe should future earthquakes occur. Though intended to be completed in two years, the endeavor was complicated as the TBM suddenly halted shortly after starting her journey, due to overheating and damage to the machine. The TBM was rescued from 120 feet below ground, via an Access Shaft. Once repaired, returned underground, and tested, it continued its route until reaching the final exit zone at the North Portal near the Seattle Center complex, on April 4, 2017. Governor Jay Inslee and other officials inaugurated the new SR 99 tunnel with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on February 2, 2019.The Alaskan Way Viaduct, a city fixture for 65 years, was demolished over the summer of 2019. Now the waterfront is unobstructed and plans for the renovation of the area commenced.Catherine Bassetti was the official on-site photographer for the project. This book covers all aspects of this Project from 2014-2019, including six work zones, all major events, and milestones. Also included are interviews with both key personnel and crew members of many trades. It includes narratives from the Labor Union workforce and statements by State officials and major firms responsible for key engineering aspects. This book includes unique photographic coverage following both the building of the high profile tunnel and the human stories of those who ultimately made it a success.

Book excerpt: The Alaskan Way Viaduct, an elevated section of State Route 99 in Seattle, was built in the 1950s, and decades of daily wear and tear have taken their toll on the structure. Because of the viaduct's age and vulnerability to earthquakes, replacing it is critical to public safety. A number of projects will work together to replace the viaduct: a two-mile long tunnel beneath downtown Seattle; a mile-long stretch of new highway that connects to the south entrance of the tunnel, near Seattle's stadiums; a new Alaskan Way surface street connecting the southern end of SR 99 to downtown Seattle; a new overpass at the south end of downtown that allows traffic to bypass train blockages near Seattle's busiest port terminal; demolition of the viaduct's downtown waterfront section.

Download or read book Never Done written by Susan Strasser and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2000-11 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally back in print, with a new Preface by the author, this lively, authoritative, and pathbreaking study considers the history of material advances and domestic service, the "women's separate sphere," and the respective influences of advertising, home economics, and women's entry into the workforce. Never Done begins by describing the household chores of nineteenth-century America: cooking at fireplaces and on cast-iron stoves, laundry done with boilers and flatirons, endless water-hauling and fire-tending, and so on. Strasser goes on to explain and explore how industrialization transformed the nature of women's work. Easing some tasks and eliminating others, new commercial processes inexorably altered women's daily lives and relationships—with each other and with those they served.
Book Synopsis Washington's Highway 99 by : Chuck Flood
Download or read book Washington's Highway 99 written by Chuck Flood and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a century, the route of Highway 99 has been the main transportation corridor in western Washington. Forest and farm products, fish, and families have all been a part of the flow of business and recreational travel between the Canadian border at Blaine and the Columbia River at Vancouver. What is now Highway 99 originated as a loose network of muddy roads connecting early settlements. With the dawn of the automobile age and construction of good roads, travel for business and pleasure began to shift away from ships and railroads to trucks and family cars. Roadside services developed within and between towns to cater to the new type of travelers--as many as 1,300 "gas, food, and lodging" businesses lined Highway 99, ranging from primitive auto camps to luxury hotels and from simple burger stands to roadside eateries shaped like giant tepees and igloos.

Book Synopsis Twentieth-Century Building Materials by : Thomas C. Jester
Download or read book Twentieth-Century Building Materials written by Thomas C. Jester and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
