1	Life in the lower deck of the Royal Australian Navy 1911-1952 Spurling, Kathryn Lesley, History, Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW January 1999 (has links) This thesis studies the development of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), during the period 1911 to 1952 from the perspective of the men of the lower deck, the RAN ratings. The early RAN was modelled very closely on the Royal Navy (RN), but the expectations of its managers and administrators, imbued as they were with the culture and tradition of the RN, were not easily compatible with the character of the Australians who became the RAN???s ratings. The class distinction which functioned in the RN, when applied to the more egalitarian Australians caused ill-feeling and led to the breakdown of discipline. The Australian Commonwealth Naval Board strongly resisted attempts by the Australian Government and the Australian people to regulate its affairs, a situation which seriously disadvantaged the RAN ratings and their families. In the wider context a continuing refusal by both the British Admiralty and the senior officers of the RAN to allow the development of a truly national navy led to significant manpower problems. This both inhibited the establishment of a navy for Australia and denied that navy full use of the unique attributes of the Australian rating.

3	Lávka pro pěší přes řeku Moravu, Mikulčice - Kopčany / Footbridge over Morava River, Mikulčice - Kopčany Bílek, Jaroslav January 2013 (has links) The topic of my master's thesis is a concept and evaluation of a new steel construction of a foot bridge for pedestrians and cycles across the river Morava. The concept has two alternatives. Option 1: The foot bridge has three spans. The span lengths are 27+81+27m, the middle span is stiffened by an arc. There is a bridge deck that consists of a cellular beam which is locked onto the arc. The bridge deck is lower, steel and orthotropic. The arrangement of rods is radial. Option 2: The middle span is stiffened by two arcs bowed to each other. The bridge deck consists of two beams with crossbeams and is locked onto the arcs. The bridge deck is again lower, steel and orthotropic. The arrangement of rods is radial. The wind bracing has a shape of a Vierendeel beam.
4	Zastřešená lávka pro pěší / Roofed Footbridge Janírek, Karel January 2015 (has links) The content of the master’s thesis is a design and evaluation of the timber construction of roofed footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists across the river Bělá in Jeseník in two different options of structure. The final version is solve in detail. It is a bridge with a span of 32 m and width of 4 m. The supporting structure is made of two two-hinged arch of glued laminated timber with lower deck and steel suspender. The bridge deck consists of two main girders, cross beams and stringers. Roof is from arches, roof beams, steel columns and cross beams. The stability of the whole construction is provided with horizontal longitudinal bracing in the plane of the deck and in the plane of the roof. The calculations are processed according to Czech technical norms ČSN EN.
