Today, auto manufacturers use aluminum engine components and body panels to reduce vehicle weight, but few have the experience with aluminum bodies that Audi has. In 1985, Audi exhibited their first "Aluminum Design Study" of the Audi A8 sedan. In 1993, the "Space Frame Concept Car" shown at the auto show in Frankfurt, followed by an aluminum-bodied Audi A8 production car in 1994. Audi partnered with Alcoa (Aluminum Company of America) in the development of all-aluminum bodies.
The first volume production aluminum car, the Audi A2, was introduced in 1999, with more than 176,000 cars built in the following years. By 2003, Audi had built a quarter of a million cars with aluminum bodies. Now they are going one step further: Audi is producing cars with an aluminum composite space frame. The...

The objective of this study is to analyse influences of traditional Chinese roof construction elements to the roof design of Kampung Laut's Old Mosque in Malaysia. The result of this study can be used as an evidence that Islam came to South East Asia (the Malay Archipelagos) from East (China) in contrast to the most arguments claimed that Islam came from West (India and Arabian region). This study conducts roof construction analysis on Kampung Laut's Old Mosque (KLOM), which is the oldest mosque in Malaysia. There are several historical studies already shows evidences to support this argument. This argument however will be supported through architectural study. The study on the roof design elements are made in the literature study. The analysis finds that KLOM has principle roof constru...

Incidence of flood has been on the increase in Ilorin for sometime; and this exemplifies the problem operating in most urban centres in Nigeria. Increase in runoff production in an urbanized catchment is a function, among other factors of to increase in percentage paved area brought about by deforestation activities and poor environmental attitude of the people. This study examines the relationship between runoff discharge and basin characteristics in Ilorin. Data used were collected directly from the field over a period of one calendar year. Rainfall data were collected in each basin using a standard rainguage of 20cm orifice while basin discharge was collected twice daily (8.00am and 6.30pm) using fabricated staff gauge graduated in centimeter. Basin morphometric attributes were compu...

The province doesn't use a rating technique like the city's straightforward good-fair-poor system. In addition to a yearly "level one" inspection, the province does a more detailed "level two" inspection of every bridge once every four years, said Ron Weatherburn, Manitoba Highway's construction and maintenance director.
