The charm and beauty of Durham in 1960.

@CentrifugaGeot1 Yes. Even if it’s just the basics. But the concept should be taught, helps to understand lots of soil mechanics

Críticas State in undergraduation course. Yes or No?

@TweetEco saw this and thought of you!

bbc.com/news/live/worl… This is unreinforced mud brick masonry. There might be some old tension timber members in there, and maybe its been strengthened. But rocking like that will have caused damage to the base and the Minaret will likely collapse in the coming aftershocks

Terrible news from Morocco, with a M6.8 earthquake. There are many unreinforced masonry, mud brick and rammed earth buildings across southern Morocco which don't perform well in earthquakes. Stay outside and watch for aftershocks in the next few hours and days. @EEFITmission

It’s amazing how variable shapes and sizes of particles, some thousands of times bigger than others can all be explained with a single angle of repose. We don’t really understand why. Then add water to the mix and it’s a whole lot more complicated 😊

@SarahMillican75 I saw that show. Was excellent, definitely the best I saw at the Fringe that year. It’s so good watching you now you’re super famous 😊

15 years ago today I won the Newcomer award at the Edinburgh fringe. I won £5K and paid it off my car loan. I had excellent friends with me whose faces I had to check in case I’d heard the announcement wrong. I ran into the street to get signal to ring my then boyfriend now husband. I’m a week from starting my 7th tour. SHEESH.

@daniellloyd1 Everything in moderation. Including moderation.

The last few weeks, since the Tour de France, I've been pretty much sober. Not just sober, but doing everything to be healthy, quite successfully. And with that, I've been moody. Tonight, I've been drinking, and very, VERY happy. I've probably got a problem, that many have.

@UKEQ_Bulletin Have a relaxing weekend, there’s always knock backs but recharge and go again

@KstevensWood Love the little arch detail over :)

Not sure what these holes in the external wall were, possibly chicken nooks for laying eggs as it looks like a lean too structure is also missing (holes above for beams?). #Mandritsa #adobe

Want to listen to me talk about earthquakes for an hour? Check out the link in bio for my YouTube presentation about The 2015 Nepal Earthquakes and response, and the @EEFITmission in 2022

@UKEQ_Bulletin Didn’t feel a thing!

Interesting - I’m all for rammed earth in the right situation, but precast panels for balconies as an alternative to cement does seem a bit daft. An earth render would do better.

EEFIT Research Grant is OPEN: tinyurl.com/ywx9phuu Grants to support short-term projects benefiting earthquake disaster mitigation and post disaster reconnaissance efforts. Applicants from any country/organisation. Two awards of £1,500 each available. Deadline: 7 July (FRIDAY)

@UKEQ_Bulletin Get the WIT app from Waikato uni. It’s brilliant!

@RogerBlack400 @Derek_Redmond @Jregismbe1 That’s amazing. Great to see you all!

Just landed in Jersey with these three- 2 days of reminiscing about how fast we once were in 1991 - playing golf, telling some stories and laughing a lot!@krissakabusi @Derek_Redmond @Jregismbe1 #teamwork #friendship #worldchampions

Was great to be on @ninetonoon taking about #openwaterswimming adventuring and generally doing fun stuff with friends 🤩

I was on @radionz this morning talking #wildswimming with @ninetonoon Lake Attack: challenge to swim every South Island lake rnz.co.nz/national/progr…
