Subject field(s)
  • Geological and Other Scientific Names
  • The Moon (Astronomy)
OBS

Magelhaens is a lunar crater that lies along the southwestern edge of the Mare Fecunditatis, in the eastern part of the Moon's near side. It lies to the south-southwest of Goclenius crater, about midway between Gutenberg crater to the northwest and Colombo crater to the southeast. This crater has a somewhat slender and uneven outer rim that is only roughly circular. The somewhat smaller satellite crater ’Magelhaens A’ is attached to the southeastern rim. Within the inner walls of Magelhaens, the interior floor has been resurfaced by basaltic-lava, matching the same dark appearance as the lunar mare to the northeast. This floor is level and almost featureless.

Record 6 2005-10-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Structural Framework
CONT

Cavity walls have been combined effectively with structural members of frame-type buildings... The outer surfaces of spandrel beams and columns are placed in the same plane and the inner part of the cavity wall is constructed flush with the surfaces of the beams and columns and anchored to them, while the outer part is carried on a shelf formed by a steel angle attached to a beam, usually at each floor level.

CONT

[The] air from the apartments could escape through the block wall behind the convectors and into the space between the infill wall and the spandrel beam (Figure 5).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Charpentes
CONT

On a combiné avec succès des murs à cavité avec des charpentes en métal ou en béton armé [...] Les surfaces extérieures des poutres et des colonnes de tympan sont placées sur le même plan et la partie intérieure du mur à cavité est construite de niveau avec les surfaces des poutres et des colonnes et elle est ancrée sur elles, tandis que la partie extérieure est soutenue par un angle d'acier fixé à une poutre généralement à chaque étage.

CONT

[...] il est clairement apparu que l'air des appartements pouvait s'échapper à travers le mur de blocs derrière les convecteurs et s'infiltrer dans l'espace entre le mur intérieur et la poutre de tympan (figure 5).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction Materials
CONT

... take shelter in an inner hallway or room, ideally in the basement or the ground floor. Do not use the elevator and stay away from windows. Avoid buildings such as gymnasiums, churches and auditoriums with freespan roofs. These roofs do not have supports in the middle and may collapse if a tornado hits them. If you are in one of these buildings take cover under a sturdy structure.

CONT

He also claimed the roof was stronger and self supporting as it was built like an arch. This self supporting roof also didn’t require interior supports. This lack of interior posts allowed for easier storage of hay and grain as many barns were built into the side of a bank or hill, allowing a wagon to be drawn into the maw and unloaded.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériaux de construction
CONT

Le concept porte sur un bâtiment simple, fonctionnellement optimal, de même que très ouvert et accessible au public. La structure est constituée de 21 «arbres» en acier qui supportent le toit et autour desquels la façade se développe librement. [...] La dalle de toiture autoportante avec auvent suggère une continuité spatiale et crée ouverture et accessibilité. À l'intérieur, l'acier constitue le motif principal. Les arbres monumentaux et le développement de la structure du toit sont visibles partout et renforcés par la présence des autres matériaux.

CONT

[...] abritez-vous dans un corridor ou une pièce la plus proche possible du centre de l'immeuble, idéalement au sous-sol ou au rez-de-chaussée. N'utilisez pas l'ascenseur et éloignez-vous des fenêtres. Évitez les immeubles à toiture autoportante comme les gymnases, les églises et les auditoriums. Le toit de ces immeubles n'est pas supporté au milieu et peut s'effondrer s'il est touché directement par la tornade. Si vous vous trouvez dans un immeuble de ce genre, abritez-vous sous une structure solide.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Oil and Natural Gas Extraction)
DEF

A device employed in the marine riser system of a mobile, offshore drilling rig to compensate for the vertical motion of the rig caused by wind, waves, etc. It consists of an inner barrel that is attached beneath the rig floor and an outer barrel attached to the riser pipe. It is an integral part of the riser system.

CONT

Inside diameter of the riser pipe and its size compatibility with the subsea blowout preventers and the proposed well program are important to the potential customer. The telescoping joint, its diameter and length of stroke, and the type of flexible joint, its diameter and maximum angle, need consideration.

Key term(s)
  • telescopic joint

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
DEF

Joint coulissant au sommet d'un tube-guide marin. Le joint télescopique permet à l'installation de s'élever et de s'abaisser un peu par rapport à la tête de puits, sans imposer une tension exagérée au tube-guide.

CONT

Le retour de boue jusqu'en surface est assuré par un tube goulotte (ou «riser») [...] composé d'un raccord flexible au pied et d'un raccord coulissant au sommet pour tolérer tous les mouvements divers de la plate-forme flottante.

... the powder magazine. Up to 65 barrels of powder for the guns were stored here. The alcove where the lamp is located is called a light closet. This closet would have had 5 or 6 plates of glass or mica, so that if one should break, the powder would not be exposed to an open flame.

OBS

By the use of double doors the interior of the magazine was never in direct contact with the rest of the building. To give light an aperture about two feet square went through the magazine's brick wall about five feet from the floor to a closet off the corridor. This aperture was fitted with a movable pane of glass, flush with the inner wall of the magazine, with a large sill behind it entirely cut off from the magazine. A burning lantern placed on the sill shone through the glass into the magazine without any risk of danger....

The context and the first observation of this record apply respectively to the Murney Tower gunpowder and the Market Shoal Tower.
