Upcoming Meetings
January 20, 2012 Adam Hingorany, J.F.Shea ConstructionTunnel Boring Machines for the Number 7 Subway line Extension Project The Number 7 subway line extension is a collaborative effort on behalf of the MTACC and S3II Tunnel Constructors (J.F. Shea, Schiavone, and Skanska) to revitalize the West Side of Manhattan. The project is designed to extend the Number 7 line, which currently travels from Flushing to Times Square. The project will extend service to the Jacob Javits Center. The tunneling in the project was completed with two Herrenknecht double shield tunnel boring machines, each with a diameter of 22.5' and a length of 445'. During excavation the machine placed concrete segments to form a continuous concrete liner. The presentation will focus on the technical portions of the machines as well as the mining process. |
February 10, 2012 Prof. Liam McAllister, Department of Physics, Cornell UniversityThe Sound of the Beginning: Echoes of the Big Bang in the Night Sky Spectacular progress in experimental cosmology has revolutionized our understanding of how the universe began. This presentation will explain how the cosmic microwave background radiation - the afterglow of the Big Bang - and the pattern of galaxies on the sky provide windows onto the physical laws that governed the first moments. |
