Eurocodes

CLICK ON IMAGE TO LAUNCH INTERACTIVE MAP

Theย Eurocodes are ten European standards (EN; harmonised technical rules) specifying how structural designย should be conducted within theย European Union. These were developed by theย European Committee for Standardization upon the request of the European Commission.ย  The purpose of the Eurocodes is to provide:

  • A means to prove compliance with the requirements for mechanical strength and stability and safety in case of fire established by European Union law.[2]
  • A basis for construction and engineering contract specifications.
  • A framework for creating harmonized technical specifications for building products (CE mark).

Since March 2010 the Eurocodes are mandatory for the specification of European public works and are intended to become the de facto standardย for the private sector. The Eurocodes therefore replace the existing nationalย building codes published by national standard bodies, although many countries have had a period of co-existence. Additionally, each country is expected to issue a National Annex to the Eurocodes which will need referencing for a particular country (e.g. The UK National Annex). At present, take-up of Eurocodes is slow on private sector projects and existing national codes are still widely used by engineers.

Eurocodes appear routinely on the standing agendas of several of our daily colloquia, among them the AEDificare, Elevator & Lift and Hello World!ย colloquia.ย  ย  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Emergency sound systems at sports venues

University of Bolton Lancashire

A rare find in best practice literature is a title that slices horizontally through a number of “silos” owned by US-based domain incumbents such as NFPA, ICC, IEEE and others.ย  Several occupancy classifications run interstitially and present challenging risk aggregations–similarly recognized in the EU–when 100,000 people must be put out of harms way in less than 60 seconds.ย  One such title is Code of Practice: BS 7827 Designing, specifying, maintaining and operating emergency sound systems for sports grounds, large public buildings, and venues. ย From the project prospectus:

Maintenance, Emergency measures, Safety devices, Reports, Crowd safety, Certification (approval), Inspection, Audio systems, Forms (paper), Speech transmission systems, Reliability, Instructions for use, Personnel, Sound intensity, Approval testing, Training, Audio equipment, Performance, Stadia, Warning devices, Electric power systems, Alarm systems, Signal distortion, Sports facilities, Safety measures, Public-address systems, Audibility, Acoustic measurement, Reception, Sound reproduction, Buildings, Control panels

The current 2019 Edition was released October 2019 and is assumed to be stable.ย  You can tell by the list of normative references from European Union standards developers that event safety is an established discipline and one that requires continual attention despite the circumstances of the pandemic.

Michigan Stadium is the largest university-owned sports venue in the world. with nominal seating capacity of 110,000 and auxiliary enterprises that add another 20,000.

More information about how our colleagues may contribute to the development of future revisions to this titles should communicate directly with BSI Group Technical Committee EPL/100.ย  We collaborate with European Union electrotechnical professionals through the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee which meets online 4 times monthly in European and American time zones.

We maintain this title on the standing agenda of our Sport and Global colloquia.ย  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Fish and Chips and the British Working Class

“Fish and Chips” | Fred Laidler (1918โ€“1988)

Fish and Chips and the British Working Class, 1870-1930

Fish and chips was in many ways the pioneer fast-food industry.ย  It became an essential component of working-class diet and popular culture in parts of London, and over wide areas of industrial midland and northern England and southern Scotland, in the early decades of the twentieth century…I propose to argue that the fish and chip trade was not only important enough in itself to justify sustained historical analysis, but also that it provides a useful vantage point for examining important changes in British society more generally.”

“Thine Be the Glory”

Sacred Spaces

“Thine Be the Glory” (originally “ร€ toi la gloire” in French) is a Christian hymn written by Swiss pastor and hymnwriter Edmond Louis Budry in 1884. The hymn was composed to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, making it particularly associated with Easter. Budry, a minister in the Reformed Church of Vevey, Switzerland, wrote the text in French, inspired by the triumphant and victorious nature of Christ’s resurrection.

The tune commonly used for the hymn is adapted from a piece in George Frideric Handel’s oratorio Judas Maccabaeus (1747), specifically the chorus “See, the Conqu’ring Hero Comes.” This lively and majestic melody was arranged for the hymn by 1885, when the text and tune were first published together in the Swiss hymnal L’Organiste. The English translation, which begins “Thine be the glory, risen, conqu’ring Son,” was made by Richard Birch Hoyle in 1923, enabling the hymn to gain widespread popularity in English-speaking congregations.

The hymn’s text draws heavily on biblical themes, particularly from the New Testament accounts of the Resurrection (e.g., Matthew 28, 1 Corinthians 15). It emphasizes Christ’s victory over death, the hope of eternal life, and the call for believers to offer praise and glory to God.

 

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory, thou o’er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave clothes where thy body lay.

Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict’ry, thou o’er death hast won.

Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
for her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.

No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is naught without thee; aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors, through thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above.
