For ten generations, the Hemsby family has passed the family moniker, Albert, to a son. From Sir Alfred Hemsby whose sons sailed to Virginia seeking religious freedom, to Alfred Hemsby (the tenth) born in 1934, the family has experienced every great event and its associated trials and tribulations over the course of three hundred years. The Hemsby's family women passed meticulously kept journals and diaries from generation to generation. These writings not only detail each family's milestones-births, marriages, deaths-but also their quests for religious freedom; struggles to find work and be treated equally; service to their country in every American conflict; and drive to influence American politics. Young Albert Hemsby (the tenth), influenced by his mother Annette, is the next Hemsby to advance the family story. Reading the diaries, he carefully pieces together his ancestry and moves the family forward from 1934 through the chaotic 60s and toward the future's political statehood. Intricately woven through the Hemsby's story are verses 1-24 of Genesis Chapter 3. Within the context of Adam and Eve's fall from grace, author George England explores how one family's greatness can bring positive influences to a caustic world of greed, bigotry, disease, and war.
In recent years, integral bridges have become increasingly popular in the UK. The Highways Agency standard now requires, where possible, that all new bridges with a length of less than sixty metres should be of integral form. In addition, it has been found that, due especially to the problems and costs associated with failed expansion joints, integral bridges are not only cost effective but also have a longer lifespan. Integral Bridges was commissioned by the Highways Agency to produce guidance for bridge designers by addressing the thermally induced soil/structure interaction problem created by environmental changes of temperature and the associated cyclical displacements imposed on the granular backfill to the bridge abutments. It develops a better theoretical understanding of the cyclic performance, in particular the strain racheting in the backfill soil when in contact with a stiff structure. It also identifies the governing soil parameters and examines their influence in the interaction problem, develops numerical modelling procedures to predict interactive soil behaviour, and identifies and quantifies the controlling features of bridge structures relevant to the interaction problem.
