Thanks for the link on the Cooper River Bridge.. a work of art and
engineering.Presume you had a hand in design hopefully.
I have been saving every scrap of info on Grimer and Jones post regarding
the big "B" as I name the file. awesome stuff, including the vortex ring
that blew my mind.

I intend to OCR them as a simple text file or .pdf at some point -
but in view of the very controversial nature of the arguments a
scan of the original documents has the advantage of showing that
they were actually accepted for publication and that I'm not
trying to perpetrate some elaborate troll. <grin>
Well, I didn't quite get all the pages downloaded before I peaked the
group's bandwidth limit. What *is* a group's limit on Yahoo?
I'll finish tomorrow because I want the CE department head to give me his
comments. The comment regarding the 1968 safety factor change on post
stressed concrete came from one of his employees. It led us to a
discussion on how concrete is treated as a liquid. I introduced him to
the B-atm concept and we wound up wasting two hours of company time on the
discussion (4 man hours :-). He loved the vortex ring idea and
overloaded on the images of the Hutchison Effect.
He worked on the Cooper River Bridge project. If ever a bridge was
beautiful:
