The Palm Deira was announced for development in
October 2004. [2][8] No timetable for completion has been announced. The first announced design was 8 times larger than the Palm Jumeirah, and 5 times larger than the Palm Jebel Ali, and was intended to house one million people. Originally, the design called for a 14 km (8.7 mi) by 8.5 km (5.3 mi) island with 41 fronds. Due to a substantial change in depth in the Persian Gulf the farther out the island goes, the island was redesigned in May 2007. The project then became a 12.5 km (7.8 mi) by 7.5 km (4.7 mi)
island with 18 larger fronds. [2] It will be located alongside Deira.
By early October 2007, 20% of the island's reclamation was complete, with a total of 200 million cubic metres (7 billion cubic feet) of sand
already used. [2] Then in...

palm island construction details and video
he Palm Islands are artificial peninsulas constructed of sand dredged from the bottom of the Persian Gulf by the Belgian company Jan De Nul and the Dutch company Van Oord. The sand is sprayed by the dredging ships, which are guided by DGPS, on to the required area in a process known as rainbowing because of the arcs in the air when the sand is sprayed. The outer edge of each Palm's encircling crescent is a large rock breakwater. The breakwater of the Palm Jumeirah has over seven million tons of rock. Each rock was placed individually by a crane, signed off by a diver and
given a GPS coordinate. [citation needed] The Jan De Nul Group started working on the Palm Jebel Ali in 2002 and had finished by the end of 2006. The reclamation project for the Palm Jebel Ali includes the creation of a four-kilometre-long...
palm island - Dubai
The Palm Islands are an artificial archipelago in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on which major commercial and residential infrastructures will be constructed. They are being constructed by Nakheel Properties, a property developer in the United Arab Emirates, who hired Belgian and Dutch dredging and marine contractor Jan De Nul and Van Oord, some of the world's specialists in land reclamation. The islands are the Palm Jumeirah, the Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Deira.
Each settlement will be in the shape of a palm tree, topped with a crescent, and will have a large number of residential, leisure and entertainment centers. The Palm Islands are located off the coast of The United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf and will add 520 kilometers of beaches to the cityof Dubai.

space hotel project by NASA
pprSpace tourism is space travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. A number of startup companies have sprung up in recent years, hoping to create a space tourism industry. Orbital space tourism opportunities have been limited and expensive, with only the Russian Space Agency providing transport to date.
The publicized price for flights brokered by Space Adventures to the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft have been US$ 20–35 million, during the period 2001–2009. Some space tourists have signed contracts with third parties to conduct certain research activities while in orbit.
Russia halted orbital space tourism in 2010 due to the increase in the International Space Station crew size, using the seats for expedition crews that would be sold to paying...

Ten largest dams in the world
The following are some of the largest dams in
the world as measured by sheer volume. While
they’re not all necessarily in the “top 10″ in
terms of size, they’re certainly sights worth
visiting.
10. SRISAILAM DAM – INDIA

Located on the Krishna River, the Srisailam Dam
was constructed in the Nallamala Hills in a gorge
that sits approximately 300 meters above sea
level. The dam was is one of the 12 largest in
the country in terms of hydroelectric power
production but was specifically built in order to
provide irrigation for the districts of Kurnool and
Cuddapah – both of which are prone to severe
droughts.

Evidence for alien can built giza pyramids
The pyramid is highlighted in red, and its
two diagonals are extended beyond the end
of the pyramid to the north-east and north-
west. The mass of squiggly lines above the
pyramid is the Delta of the Nile River, and,
as you can see the two diagonals encase the
Nile neatly and entirely. IS THAT A
COINCIDENCE???
Yes, I'm sure that the way the Egyptians did
this was to have someone walk hundreds of
miles to the end of the delta and hold a
really, really long piece of string while
someone walked all the way back to the site
of the pyramid. Then, those two people
stood there while two more people repeated
the process on the...

Prestressed concrete
Prestressed concrete is a method for
overcoming concrete 's natural weakness in
tension. It can be used to produce beams , floors
or bridges with a longer span than is practical
with ordinary reinforced concrete. Prestressing
tendons (generally of high tensile steel cable or
rods ) are used to provide a clamping load which
produces a compressive stress that balances the
tensile stress that the concrete compression
member would otherwise experience due to a
bending load. Traditional reinforced concrete is
based on the use of steel reinforcement bars,
rebars, inside poured concrete .
Prestressing can be accomplished in three ways:
pre-tensioned...
CarbonCast
CarbonCast is a precast concrete technology
that uses carbon-fiber grid as secondary
reinforcing or as a shear truss. It was introduced
by AltusGroup, Inc. , a national partnership of
14 precast concrete manufacturers and seven
industry suppliers founded to expedite the
research and national commercialization of
concrete innovations.
Products
The CarbonCast line of products includes:
CarbonCast High Performance Insulated
Wall Panels are composed of two concrete
wythes separated by continuous insulation and
connected by C-GRID carbon fiber shear
trusses [1][2]
CarbonCast Insulated Architectural
Cladding feature inner and outer wythes
1-3⁄4″thick or more for a total concrete
thickness of 3-1⁄2″. The wythes sandwich a
layer of insulation of usually 2″ or more
depending on R-value requirements...
Precast concrete
Precast concrete is a construction product
produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold
or "form" which is then cured in a controlled
environment, transported to the construction
site and lifted into place. In contrast, standard
concrete is poured into site-specific forms and
cured on site. Precast stone is distinguished
from precast concrete by using a fine aggregate
in the mixture, so the final product approaches
the appearance of naturally occurring rock or
stone.
By producing precast concrete in a controlled
environment (typically referred to as a precast
plant), the precast concrete is afforded the
opportunity to properly cure and be closely
monitored by plant employees. Utilizing a
Precast Concrete system offers many potential
advantages over site casting of concrete. The
production...
