hari ini hari selasa!!!

versi karangan
hari ini hari selasa.....hari selasa juga dikenali sebagai tuesday dalam bahasa inggeris...cuaca hari ini jerebu dan panas. udara di kawasan kuching dan samarahan kurang sihat. nasib baik saya tidak sakit, cuma rasa panas sedikit dan cepat haus, ini disebabkan oleh perubahan cuaca secara mendadak kesan daripada el- nino yang melanda dunia masa kini. ( rasa macam karangan sains..hahaha )
saya tidak dapat tidur malam sebelumnya. saya ingatkan hendak tidur pada jam 10 malam isnin, kemudian bangun pada jam 2.30 pagi hari selasa untuk belajar matematik kerana saya ada ujian 1 pada hari ini. oleh itu saya cuba untuk tidur, malangnya saya tidak dapat tidur juga. maka saya pun berikhtiar untuk memejamkan mata. saya pun mendengar radio- cats.fm. masa itu saya sempat mendengar segmen pantun sarawak. saya sungguh seronok dan lucu mendengar telatah pemanggil yang memberikan pantun dalam bahasa sarawak. menarik sungguh pantun itu. itu pantun sungguh menarik....
kerana saya tidak dapat tidur, saya pun memandai pula hendak online. jadi saya pun online. lepas itu pun saya cuba tidur tapi masih tidak dapat. akhirnya saya pun tidur dalam jam 3pagi. owh ya, baru saya teringat, rupanya saya sempat juga menyiapkan tutorial 6 - vektor yang telah diberi tugasan oleh cik leong, tenaga pengajar matematik saya. kemudian saya penat, saya pun tidur. akan tetapi, saya berkesempatan untuk memasang alarm pada telefon bimbit saya untuk bangun pada jam 6pagi kerana saya belum lagi belajar...kemudian..selepas itu,..sementara itu.....

jahanam nar juak!!!!! hehe...lelah aku set alarm kol6..sik tauk berapa kali udah alarm hp ya snooze hehe...adalah dekat 20kali...sik juak bangun..bukan main merik diskaun to myself continuing sleeping hehe. sempat inda mendengar deruman enjin lori trienekens..yah trienekens sudah kembali menjalankan tanggungjawab pada awal pagi yang mulia tadi. tahniah dan syabas diucapkan!!!
at last i woke up around 8.30am..terus mandik kakya molah hot milo .so from 9am till 9.45 i officially studied hehe...ya pun tetiba mata pande ngantok inda..sial nar mata tok keh keh keh..pande merik warning. so i decided to had a nap for a while...( a while nikman?? haha ) ,lalulah plan tek mok tdo sik lamak..sampe kol 10.45 ka...check2 tido belalak sampe kol 11.30 am!!..berantu nar ko tok nikman haha !!!!!!!!
then bangun, basuh muka. minum nescafe 3in1 regular ( the red one ) then kemas2...kol 12 chau dari umah. macam biasa melimpas sekolah, mbak muka selamber..rasa dirik aku tok mudak juak kedak miak sekolah chewah haha. then nunggu bas rah bus stand opposite to esso pending and yung kong building. perghh..panas nar juak. luckily around 5 minutes bus had arrived...dalam bas ya sempat membelek2 nota ringkas math aku ya. ada nok bok polah pagi tek, ada juak nok k masa kuiz last month hehe...
12:35pm - sampe pasa...jalai melimpas central police station, elektera haus ..nyeberang lalu agak ven sapu..kenak aku suka nunggah ven sapu? sedangkan ven ya ada permit hehe,....bukan bertujuan untuk menganok cdak pengusaha ven berpermit. tapi apakan daya diriku sudah kebiasaan menyebut ven sapu keh keh keh
12:45pm - haiya..panas nar. maseh belum jalan? urghh..memula aku duduk rah seat depan rah belakang. ( hanya orang salu nait ven sapu leh paham haha! ) - row pertama bah...kakya nak..adalah datang seorang makcik perosak harapan. disuruh aku oleh pengusaha ven duduk rah belakang. 4 orang berimpit, macam sik biasa ngan sikap pemandu ven sapu pok!!...suka madat haha..hmm 13 org dipadat lam ven ya ( exclusive drebar ).. 2 orang duduk rah depan... hehe...
12:55pm - at last! baruk mok start jalan..huhh...dahla panas..bla bla bla..bal bal type bal then send to 2888 or 2889!! ahaha melalut aku tokk ahakss

..owh ya..back to the topic..aku sebenar- benarnya kagum ngan stadium athens ya..very magnificent...nya mpun bumbung stadium..ada arches ...wah..memang hebat sapa yang design ya..mampukah aku mendesignkan structure sehebat itu in future??? hehe...itulah cabaran buat diriku....haha..so aku surf rah icivilengineer.com and i got this..mun rajin bacalah...for engine students..memang menarik...

Olympic Marvel Is A Tribute To Engineering Ingenuity

When the world watches the opening of the Athens Olympics this month, it will behold an engineering marvel. The Athens Olympic Stadium has a suspended arched roof construction, designed by the world-renowned Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava. The roof is easily the most visually striking part of the total refurbishment of the original stadium.

This “jewel in the crown”, as the stadium’s roof has come to be known, is sure to be the trademark of the 2004 Olympic Games. Its two giant arches have a total span of 1,000 feet and soar to a maximum height of 262 feet.
Athen's Oaka Olympic Stadium is being refurbished with two double bowstring tied arches
Each arch supports the cables that hold the polycarbonate roof panels, which weigh a total of 17,000 tons and cover an area of 107,500 square feet, covering the 75,000 spectators and athletes alike. Ninety-five percent of the stadium’s seating will be covered, as compared to thirty-five percent in the original stadium.
The graceful sweeping roof structure is constructed of metal and glass with a special coating designed to reflect 60% of the sun - a feature very important during the Greek summer. Its unique architectural and structural design makes it a particularly unique project, because the existing stadium was refurbished while the roof and arches were being constructed and erected.
The graceful sweeping roof structure is constructed of metal and glass with a special coating designed to reflect 60% of the sun - a feature very important during the Greek summer. Its unique architectural and structural design makes it a particularly unique project, because the existing stadium was refurbished while the roof and arches were being constructed and erected.
The roof structure - the design of which is a double bowstring tied arch - was assembled close to the sides of the stadium. Arches and roof were constructed separately in two halves, positioned 230 feet from either side of the stadium. They were built remotely so as not to interfere with the underlying stadium.
This remote construction, however, gave rise to an important question, namely; how to move and position the two roof halves, each weighing 8,500 tons.
Double acting pull cylinders are attached to shoes in a sliding and guiding system pulling the arched roof assembly step by step into the final position.
The arched roof is built on two shoes supported by four Teflon sliding pads.
The original plan was to move each roof assembly by pulling it ste-by-step using long strands, chucks and short-stroke hydraulic jacks. This technique meant the structure’s shoes had to slike over thin stainless steel plates welded onto special rails resting on huge concrete beams.

However, computer simulations highlighted potential problems using strands to pull the roof into position. It was calculated that, because of significant elastic energy stored by the strands, the difference between the static and dynamic frictions of Teflon and stainless steel could create a stick-slip issue related to the relatively high acceleration and stops during each step of the pulling process. This was unacceptable to the designers, who sought another solution.

Enerpac, Integrated Solutions Specialist, was consulted because of their expertise in major construction and civil engineering projects. Enerpac is currently involved in a number of world-first engineering projects, including the 1,200 foot high Millau Viaduct in France, the highest bridge in the world.
For the Athens Stadium, Enerpac proposed long stroke-pulling cylinders powered by PLC-controlled hydraulic pumps. Used for the step-by-step pulling process, these would have very little impact on the existing design.
Four pulling cylinders were proposed for each shoe of the pulling assembly. Because each arch had two shoes and each shoe had four sliding pads, this meant a total of eight hydraulic cylinders were necessary to move and position each half of the roof.

A two-stage PLC-controlled pump was specified to power each group of four cylinders. This arrangement offered full control of speed, acceleration and deceleration during hydraulic movement. The PLC control was also necessary to ensure digital monitoring of the pump parameters. This integrated hydraulic system was designed to provide smooth movement and positioning of the arch.During the roof positioning, which took place in May and June, the PLC-controlled pumps were located on the sides of each arch and carried with them during the pulling process. Each pump supplied all four cylinders with the same hydraulic pressure and the same pulling force while the stroke synchronization is assured by the shoe structural strength. Both pumps were connected with a 1,300-foot cable and synchronized by the PLC-unit to control the start and stop of the hydraulic movement of the 8,500-ton roof half.

Very smooth starts and stops (while maintaining an acceptable speed) were facilitated by using a microprocessor-controlled variable-frequency AC motor drive. This unit controlled the electric motor speed, thus controlling the pumps’ oil flow and therefore the retracting speed of the pulling cylinders.
The PLC-controlled unit was used to vary motor speed (rpm) linearly, within the operator’s defined time intervals, from a minimum to a maximum and vice versa. In this way, a very low operational speed was achieved once the arch movement was started. The speed was kept low for a period in order to stabilize the system.

In the next step, the pumps’ oil flow was increased linearly (acceleration ramp) to ensure a constant and carefully controlled acceleration up to the pulling speed as defined by the roof design team.The pulling process continued with the cylinder stroke at a constant speed. Once the cylinder mounted micro switch detected the end of the plunger stroke, the hydraulic system automatically decreased linearly (deceleration ramp). This reduced cylinder retraction speed to a minimum then stopped the pulling process altogether.
The process started again after reloading (extending) all cylinders at high speed.

The Athens Olympic Stadium project shows how integration of hydraulics and electronics into one system for controlled hydraulic movement can solve important problems where conventional and traditional methods fail. With the use of PLC-controlled systems, hydraulic movements become very simple. reliable and safe. Every step in the process can be monitored at any time. Advantages of an integrated solution include:
• Use of double-acting, long stroke pulling cylinders considerably increases system rigidity, compared with using strands. This reduces the amount of elastic energy stored during the start of structure movements. Furthermore, double-acting cylinders, with their powered extending and retracting, improve the control of heavy load in case of unexpected external forces (wind, inertia due to sudden stops, etc).
• PLC-controlled integrated hydraulic solutions make synchronization of movement and speed control simple and accurate, reducing the risk of additional stress in the structure.
• Pulling instead of pushing makes the movement more stable, cancels the risk of buckling and contains the cylinder size.
• Two stage pumps with a high oil flow consistently reduce the cylinder reload time.
gtg now la..dah kol 7 lebih tok hehe..tapi mata lom ngantok gik..pandeylah aku mok mendodoikan diriku hehe..adios amigos...
p/s jerebu makin terok laa...walaupun sejuk di awal pagi tok, burung berkicauan dengan gumbiranya..hari ini pasti akan panas lagi....huhhh....heheh
