July 29, 2005 - US Congress reached an agreement on the Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (TEA-LU). This bill will provide $286.5 billion over six years to maintain the US transportation infrastructure. While this is commendable, it falls short of ASCE's recommendation of $375 billion over the same period. ASCE's 2005 Report Card for America's Infrastructure, released on March 9, concluded that the condition of US bridges has remained the same at a grade of C, while roads and mass transit systems continued to decline (from a D+ to D for roads and C- to D+ for transit). |

I am placing my personal library of books on-line here. This helps me keep track of this information, and hopefully gives the visitor an idea on my interests. |

With the first signs of Spring in Michigan loud and clear, my destination will be the Big Apple to attend Structures Congress 2005. This is a major yearly conference organized by the Structural Engineering Institute (an ASCE organization). My main purpose is to attend the meeting the Wind Effects Committee. |

Geo-Frontiers 2005, held in Austin, Texas, January 24-26, was a great opportunity to escape the sub-freezing temperatures of Michigan. What a change that was! From -20 to +70 degrees! Getting there was an adventure in itself. Driving to the airport usually takes about 40 minutes. However, on that day it took over 3 hours because of a major snow strom. Driving was at 25 mph at best and visibility was practically zero, especially when a truck passes by. I escaped a major accident and left behind a tractor trailer in the ditch... better in the ditch than over my car! Pictures from this trip are here. |
