Globalization and the off-shoring of middle-class jobs will be one of the most important forces shaping the 21st Century Accelerating job migration is already permanently altering nearly every one of the world's economies, typically leaving Western workers anxious about how to compete. For instance, just when Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class have finished school, gotten good jobs, had their kids, and bought their house, they find their jobs are exported to China or India. Destined to become a guidebook to thriving in the 21st Century, Off-Shoring the Middle Class outlines the prompt action required on many levels as governments, corporations, and individuals are all drawn into the battle to remain competitive, to move up the value chain, and to succeed in a world gone flat. "Off-Shoring the Middle Class" explains how off-shoring affects society and workers at every level and outlines a course of action for each, including a mix of better public policy, more innovation, more relevant education, and substantially expanded entrepreneurship, following the Silicon Valley model..

Emergency Rescue Shoring Techniques, by John O’Connell, is a complete resource on shoring and stabilization of emergency scenes. This book takes the reader step-by-step through the basic principles of emergency shoring operations so they may learn to operate in a safe and efficient atmosphere while conducting search and rescue operations in unstable environments. O’Connell thoroughly covers the engineering aspects involved in shoring and stabilization, carefully explaining how to maintain the strength and integrity of any and all structurally damaged or unstable elements such as beams, joists, girders, columns, arches, headers, or bearing walls. This book includes a glossary and covers the basic terminology and instructions for shoring, as well as an appendix covering the tools your shoring team will need..

Tunnel jacking is used to construct large shallow underground openings in areas where disruption to surface use and activities cannot be tolerated. The technique of tunnel jacking is not new, but in recent years it has been used to construct openings primarily in Europe and Asia, often under railroad lines and highways. The method has had limited use in the United States; however, a state-of-the-tunnel jacking project currently is underway as part of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project in Boston, Massachusetts. These papers have been prepared by experienced designers of tunnel jacking projects to provide the reader with an introduction to large jacked tunnel design, construction, and instrumentation..

Description:
In this paper, systematic analyses, based on a numerical approach introduced in a companion paper, are performed for the shoring systems installed to support applied loads during construction. A rigorous time-dependent analysis provides insight on structural behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures with changes in design variables, such as the types of shoring systems, the shore stiffness, and the shore spacing. Time-dependent deformations of concrete, such as creep and shrinkage, and the construction sequences of frame structures are also taken into account to minimize structural instability and to attain an improved shoring system design, as these effects may increase the axial forces delivered to the shores. In addition, the influence of the column shortening effect, generally considered in the design of the tall building structures, is analyzed. From numerous parametric studies, it is concluded that the most effective shoring system for RC frame structures is the 2S1R (two shores and one reshore), regardless of the changes in design variables. .

This study covers the world outlook for iron, steel, and aluminum shoring for concrete work across more than 200 countries For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved..
