Differential Settlements
Leaning Structures
Ultimate Limit States

Clicking on the links above will take you to one of three photo albums.  In Differential
Settlements, we explore what happens to the superstructure when different points of a
foundation settle by different amounts.  In Leaning Structures, we see that site heterogeneities
can lead to some serious leaning, regardless of type of structure.  And in Ultimate Limit States,
we have some good examples of the things that have gone wrong with a variety of projects.  
Nowhere is the famous Chinese proverb that "a picture worth a thousand words" more true than
in visualizing limit states.
