The Bridge of Lions is a historic drawbridge located in St. Augustine, Florida. Completed in 1927, the bridge is known for its Mediterranean Revival style, featuring marble lion sculptures that guard each end of the structure. During a thorough restoration initiative, "AZZ Galvanizing - Muncie" played a crucial role by hot-dip galvanizing 140 tons of steel. HDG was specified to safeguard the landmark's distinctive railings and towers, ensuring their structural integrity for many decades to come!

H is for Hammerbeam! Hammerbeam roofs are among the most impressive achiements of late medieval carpenters. They're a heavenly sight, often supporting wooden angels and elaborate Gothic ornament. Structurally, they're peculiar. But how on earth did these roofs come about? I give some answers in the latest of my A-Z of Historic Buildings. https://lnkd.in/eUQwd_A8

Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the strongest foundation and you are done ! Venice was built on a foundation of about 10,000,000 underwater wooden logs or 8 to 10 tree logs per sq meter. Trunks function as roots. 1200 years later, those same trunks still support almost all of central Venice. Before starting to build the palazzi that line the canals, the Venetians drove wooden piles into the ground to make it more solid. As we can read in the Atlante storico della Serenessima ,”The foundations of all of the buildings are made of very strong oak piles, which last eternally under water… These are driven firmly into the ground in dense groups, then blocked with large crosspieces and the space between them is filled with fragments of stone and cement, which solidify them into firm, stable foundations.” The Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan was built the same way. And so was most of Boston.
