Why because, The Eiffel Tower, with a height of approximately 324 meters (1,063 feet), experiences a change in height due to thermal expansion. -As a rough estimate, steel expands at a rate of around 0.000012 per degree Celsius. Considering temperature variations between a typical summer day and a winter day in Paris, which can range from about 15 to 25 degrees Celsius, the expansion could be roughly 0.18 to 0.30 meters (7 to 12 inches). #eiffeltower #steelindustry #steelwonders

🏗️🌍 International Tunnel Forum - Challenges in Tunnelling. Tunnel construction has fascinated humanity for centuries. With the Industrial Revolution and the invention of the railway in the 19th century, tunnel construction reached a new level. Today, new technologies and materials continue to push the boundaries of what is possible into new, spectacular dimensions. 🌟 In exciting presentations and a subsequent discussion, four outstanding examples of modern tunnel construction will be showcased. 👨💼 Panel participants: 🎤 Kay Müller, DB InfraGO 🎤 Andreas Busslinger, HBI 🎤 Dipl. -Ing.

Happy Mexica New Year 12-tecpactl! Ma kwalle yankwik xiwitl Mahtlahtle wan ome tecpatl  Tecpactl means the flint. In pre-Columbian times, obsidian knives were used instead of metal ones. They were also used as fire starters by striking two together and creating sparks, like the ideas that sometimes spark in our heads. Its sharpness also cuts through layers, uncovering each layer and revealing what lies beneath. It is a good time to cut off what no longer serves us. The number 12 is symbolized by the two bars, each representing five and two dots. Mahtlatle refers to a count of two hands, signifying the number ten. It is the energy of light that emanates from us, allowing others to see through us. There were no leap years, as each year began at a quarter of the day. This year begins at 6 PM Mexico City time. The energy of this year is the Centeotl, representing the energy of maize, creativity, sustainability, and sensibility. #decolonize #design #calendars #mexica #newyear #tecpatl #pedernal #flint #prehispanico #aztec #solar #precolumbian #mesoamerica #art

Is railway safety also important for you? If yes, please join us in the international symposium, the exhibition and be a part of the worldwide community of experts in the field of passive safety of rail vehicles. We will talk about the improved crash management system: ·      Holistic view of the complete system ·      Velocity-sensitive buffers with multiple trigger points ·      Cascading multi-steps characteristics of forces and strokes ·      Individual deformable elements in the buffers work like an accordion ·      Energy absorbing of the shock, in in less than one second The system minimizes the risk of a wheel lift and derailment for different crash speeds and allows the possibility of improving the control of the impact energy dissipation, improving passenger safety, and minimizing damage to rolling stock and reduce the environmental impact. See you in Berlin, 21-22 March 2024 Railway Symposium 13th International Symposium on PASSIVE SAFETY of RAIL-VEHICLES 2024. Crashworthiness and Interior Design of Rail Vehicles is the focus of this conference.
