Selection of Foundation and Structural System for Expansive Soil

Any one planning to construct foundation for new buildings on expansive soil, some special considerations should account in design and constriction which are somewhat different from construction on normal soils. In the preliminary design of a building to be constructed on expansive soil, the swelling potential should be considered and the acceptance limit of cracking, may be structural or nonstructural, should be set at this time.

Objective of foundation design

• Foundation should be designed such that no unexpected foundation and structural distress are observed throughout its service life
• Foundation should be selected based on availability of building materials, both construction skills and equipment.

• The moisture content below foundation should be made and maintained constant. In this regard, if possible the foundation construction should be followed by wet season and proper drainage should be provided to avoid ponding water. The moisture content of the excavation should be kept constant as far as possible.
Special consideration for bearing capacity, foundation system and superstructure system must be taken and a tolerable a angular distortion have to set during planning and design. To avoid excessive distress to the buildings, necessary flexibility to the structural system must be provided.

a. Evaluation of bearing capacity

Pressure from foundation loading should be more than swelling pressures of expansive soil, if possible; sometimes this foundation pressure may be less than swelling pressure even a proper deign is done. This is due to long construction period while loads are exerted gradually in case of multistoried buildings. The foundation pressure should be less than the predicted bearing capacity to avoid unexpected foundation displacement.The factor of safety is decided to keep safe value of foundation pressure sufficiently lower than bearing capacity.Current theoretical assessment and empirical relationship furnishes a reliable estimation of ultimate capacity, but which is not applicable for evaluation of differential deformation of the foundation. So factor of safety is used for ultimate bearing capacity to evaluate allowable or safe working loads should be consistent with allowable settlement.

b. Selection of Foundation Systems

A well designed foundation should fulfill all functional requirements of the building and limit differential movement of different parts of the building that may be subjected to damage at optimum cost. A perfect foundation should effectively transmit maximum allowable distortion. The allowable distortion that can be said tolerable depends on design and use of the building.

In discussing selection of different types of foundation a new term  is required which is known as effective plasticity index. As heave potential of clay depends on  rather than PI.

Now what is effective plasticity index?

When the foundation soil has uniform plasticity index throughput the depth up to 15 ft (≥ feet), the PI is taken as effective PI for foundation design purposes. Thus effective PI is required for layered soil. When layered soil have different PI’s, the calculation of  is done using equation (1).

An example of calculation of PI are presented below for the top 15 feet soil under foundation slab.

Calculation of PI for the top 15 feet soil under foundation slab
Figure-1: An example of calculation of PI for the top
15 feet soil under foundation slab

Some assumptions are made in calculating   are:

  • PI≥15 that is if PI is less than 15, it is taken as 15
  • In case of slope foundation surface slope factor (FS)
    should be used to increase PI.
         log Fs=0.01S
         Fs= Slope factor
         S= Gradient of slope in %
  • Weight factor is applied to modify PI; top and middle portion of the soil layer (segmented by three layer) weighted by 3 and 2 times of bottom one third segment of the layer considering upper layer have more contribution to foundation movement.
  • If PI immediate below the bottom of the stiffening beam of
    foundation slabs is more than other layers underneath lowest level of the slab,
    the PI of the topmost layer is taken as  i.e. applicable for entire soil mass.
Sometimes is not considered reliable basis to design in case of foundation supported on non-expansive soil like sand or rock underneath 5 feet thick highly expansive soil. Previous strata of such type of soil may become a media to flow moisture toward nearly expansive soil. A guideline for selecting different types of foundation based on
are provided below:

Shallow foundation

Shallow foundation may be of isolated or continuous footings and stiffened mats; selection of these footings is based on and differential movement are provided below:

Isolated or continuous footings

Isolated or continuous footings are selected as foundation system when it supported on low expansive soil, where predicted differential deflection is not more than 0.5 inches or ratio of predicted angular movement/span length lie between 1/600 to 1/1000.

Stiffened mats

This is a slab stiffened by beam which is used in expansive soil having predicted differential movement of up to 4 inches. Stiffening beams used in the foundation effectively reduce differential movement of that level. Following table provides required spacing and dimensions of stiffening beams which is considered enough to design lightly loaded structure.
Predicted Differential
Effective Plasticity
Foundation System
Design Remarks
Shallow isolated thin mat thickness (4-5) inches
For residential and lightly loaded building, must
have stiffening beams of thickness 10~12 inches. The free area between beams
must bit exceed 400 ft2, beam should have 0.5% reinforcing steel.
To avoid distortion of corner exterior stirrups to avoid both torsion and
shearing failure induced by higher edge forces. In addition beams are placed
beneath corners.
Type of Mat
Beam depth
Beam spacing
0.5 to 1
15 to 25
16 to 20
20 to 15
1 to 2
26 to 40
20 to 25
15 to 12
2 to 4
25 to 30
15 to 12
Not limit
Thick reinforced concrete mat
Heavily loaded large structure having mats of thickness ≥
2 ft.

Deep foundation

A pile or drilled shaft connected by overlying beams is appropriate for such type foundation soils but can be used for large variety of foundation soil. A well designed and properly constructed deep foundation effectively eliminates foundation damage due to heaving tendency of such soils. No limits for differential settlement and types of structural system are recommended for properly designed foundation.
Grade beam connecting piles or shaft should be constructed 6~12 in above ground surface to permit expansion of soil. On grade slabs or supported floors are kept isolated from walls and grade beams. Drilled shaft may sometimes designed straight or under-reamed. Concrete used in RC cast in situ piles or drilled shaft should be at least 3000 psi having 6 inches slump. These type of foundations are reported to have deflection of shaft to spacing ration of not more than 1/600.

C. Selection of structural system

The superstructure of a building should be selected such that it had flexibility i.e. If subjected to deformation under soil movement it behaves compatible with the foundation. The objective of flexible superstructure is to perform structure under expansive soil movement such that
  • Overall functionality of structure remain uninterrupted
  • Minimum maintenance is required
  • Contributes aesthetically to remain compatible to environment.

Structures susceptible to settlement

Buildings consist of load bearing walls are found more susceptible to shear failure and subsequent damage as compared to that have more flexible framing system. The suggestion is to provide
  • Frame construction
  • Truss roofs
  • Open plans.
The effects of differential movement are reduced with such structures. As an example, lateral thrust can be minimized on walls by designing roof truss system with timber overhead beams as tension members. Relative flexibility offered by different types of superstructure systems, more precisely components, are presented below
  • Rigid
  • Semirigid
  • Flexible
  • Split construction
Rigid-Slab on grade; unreinforced masonry with or without plaster; precast concrete block etc.
Semirigid-Reinforced masonry; brickwork reinforced with vertical and horizontal tie bars, bands provided in brickwork by steel bars or applying RC beams with provision of vertical reinforcement on either sides of opening like windows and doors, slab on grade with provision for isolation from walls.
Flexible-Brick veneer having articulated joints; wood, metal or vinyl panels; gypsum boards fixed with metal or wood studs; vertical construction joints; wood, steel framing; all types of drains and pipes run through the structure having flexible joints; suspended floors or slabs supported on grade having proper isolation from walls designed considering probable heaving and subsequent cracking of slab; metal panels as walls or strip windows provided to separate rigid wall section (spacing should not be more than 25 feet).
Spit construction-Modular construction where walls, rectangular sections move as a unit, walls or components which are separated by joints at a spacing of 25 feet or less, slab-on-grade or suspended floors isolated from walls omitting probable damage to slab-on-grade; all drains and water pipes having flexible joints; construction joints in stiffened and reinforced slabs with a spacing of 150 ft and provision for cold joints, if required, at not more than 65 ft spacing.
The flexibility of superstructure components has been discussed above; now question is

Why is flexibility of structure required?

The flexibility of structure is required on expansive soil to eliminate unexpected distress may be offered by flexible components and joints. According to requirement of differential movement, the joints in the wall is provided; walls neither should be tied with the ceiling nor should slab-on-grade be ties to columns or foundation walls. The isolation should be done by expansion joints or impervious and flexible compounds should be used to fill the gaps.
The brick, masonry block and plaster walls should be replaced by stud frames and paneling, gypsum board and RC walls to perform structure against distortions. The foundation of walls may be made flexible by additional reinforcement and making walls to behave as structural member having resistance to bending like RC shear walls.

Ability of structure to tolerate deformations

This tolerance of structure depends on
  • Brittleness of construction materials
  •  The ratio of length to height
  • Relative stiffness of the frame in shear & bending
  • Mode of ground deformation whether settlement i.e. dish-shaped deformation or heave i.e. dome-shaped deformation.

The ratio Δ/l  is an important parameter for selecting right type of structure.

Where Δ =differential displacement
              l =distamce between columns as well as footings
Thus Δ/l   is a measure of differential movement, Δ over a length l which is known as vertical angular deflection to span length ratio. The ration Δ/l  that can be tolerated by a structure is dependent on above variables.
For a slab supported on ground the ratio of A/ is controlling parameter
A= deflection length
and = length of slab.
Δ/l     2  A/l

Propagation of cracks

It depends on degree of tension restraint developed in the structure and supporting foundation. So building frames with wall panels are
more restraint to relative deflections i.e. tension restraint than URM buildings.
Generally structural damage in buildings subjected dish-shaped deflection (settlement at center) is found less frequent than that subjected to edge down warping ( heave in the center) as the foundation has better ability to resist tension forces or respond better than the walls.

Tolerable angular deflection limits

Limits for Δ/l , as discussed above, for different superstructure systems are presented below:

Superstructure system
Acceptable vertical angular deflection/span
length ratio,
1/600 to 1/1000
1/360 to 1/600
1/150 to 1/360
Split construction
1/150 to 1/360

A safe value of Δ/l is 1/500 is very familiar to avoid generation of cracks in single and multistoried structures. Plaster in walls, masonry or precast blocks (concrete) and brick walls are often subjected to damage for Δ/ratio of 1/600 to 1/1000. But sometimes cracks may not developed in such walls when the rate of deflection is slow enough to permit frame and foundation to adjust for the new distortions. A common method to reduce cracking is to apply lean mortar over soft bricks.

Reinforced concrete beams and walls, steel frames and reinforced masonry can tolerate angular deflection

Henry Kraft, brother Peter Kraft and Maurice Goldschmidt are the name sakes of “Kraft, Goldschmidt & Kraft” formed in 1861 as military outfitters in Columbia South Carolina. Henry a jeweler and Peter a gunsmith complimented each other’s skills by making some of the South’s finest engraved swords but they also made standard issue enlisted men’s calvary sabers.

Little is known about the wooden scabbards these Cavalry Sabers are housed in. It’s believed they were made by Lewis L. and T.R. Moore of Atlanta Georgia. In Gordon Jone’s book “Confederate Odyssey” he writes that 556 “wooden saber scabbards”were delivered to the C.S. Arsenal at Charleston South Carolina in 1863. So it’s assumed this is one of those wooden scabbards made by the Moore brothers and yes there may have been additional deliveries to the 556 mentioned earlier.

This highly desirable cavalry saber and wooden scabbard serves as testament to the South’s inequality to the North’s industrial revolution, wooden scabbards may have owed as much to practicality as to desperation, thin inferior wrapped leather, small gauge single wire used on the grip, casting flaws on knucklebow and forging flaws throughout the blade. All the qualities that collectors of Confederate weapons love to study.

My new saber and scabbard is just one of my recent acquisitions, it’s been on my wish list for a while and I was able to negotiate a fair price with the seller. The saber measures a total of 39 ½” from pommel to the blade tip with the blade length of 34 ¼”. The blade has a large fuller approximately 27” long with many forging flaws. The brass knucklebow, branches and pommel all have casting flaws and the finest aged patina.

The scabbard measures a total of 36 ¾” from the throat to the bottom of the drag. It’s a testament to the craftsman who made these scabbards, that more then 150 years later they still serve the purpose they were designed for. The wooden scabbard has lots of aged patina only complimenting its history, however it does have some cracks towards the bottom half and I believe the boot style drag has been professionally replaced which does not distract from its character. The scabbard is two pieces of hollowed out carved wood held together with wrapped tin. The throat, ring bands and drag are brass with the darkest hues of brown, red and gold.

This sword and scabbard is typical of so many Southern Weapons that tell a side story of ingenuity, practicality and even desperation……maybe that’s just one of the things that fascinates me and other collectors. I’m thrilled to be the keeper of this piece of American history even if it’s only for a short while.

I’m always looking for new to the market Confederate artifacts, if you have any and are considering selling them maybe we can make a deal. Thanks for stopping by the Civil War Arsenal if you have any questions or thoughts about this posting feel free to contact me at attn: Gene West

Louis Haiman & Brother Enlisted Man’s Cavalry Saber

Columbus, Georgia was home to perhaps the Confederacies largest sword factory. Prussian born brothers Louis and Elias Haiman were owner/operators of the Columbus Iron Works which at the outbreak of the war was turned into a sword factory where a variety of edged weapons were forged and cast.

It’s thought approximately 8000 Cavalry swords were manufactured under Confederate contracts. Patterned after the U.S. Model 1840 Cavalry Saber, the Haiman Brothers version was not quite the quality of the Union counterpart. Having casting flaws on the ricasso near the tang, grip wrapped with painted cloth (rather then leather) with a single strand of iron wire and crude seams on the backs of there scabbards.

Most existing examples are unmarked however there are a few that are marked at the ricasso “Haiman & Bro”, the scabbards throats are always iron as well as most drags, ring mounts are always brass with iron rings and some surviving examples have a reddish shade on there hilts due to a high copper content which was the result of periodic shortages of zinc.

The Haiman Brothers operated there factory throughout the war but on April 16, 1865 Union Cavalrymen under Major General James Wilson captured Columbus and torched the factory.

The example before you is one I acquired a while back which I would consider to be in excellent condition. The scabbard has the crude seam running up its back with brass mounts, iron rings, drag and throat. I see no signs of paint on the scabbard and it’s free from dents and damage.

The swords hilt has a great patina and is wrapped with painted cloth with a single strand of iron wire which seems to be original to the sword. If you look closely at the images above you will see the castings flaws on either side of the blade, most near the tang just below the hilt which undeniably identifies the sword as a Haiman Brothers Enlisted Man’s Sword. However there are many flaws throughout the length of the blade, which add to its character and beauty.

The overall length of the sword is 42” with the blade measuring 36” long and the scabbard measuring 38” from the top of the throats to the bottom of the drag. The Haiman Brothers sword measures a total of 43 ¾” when sword is set in scabbard compared to its Union counterpart (Model 1840 Calvary Sword) which measures 42”.

If you have questions about this sword or any of the other weapons in the Civil War Arsenal email me at attn: Gene West.

C.S.A Arms Factory, Kenansville Enlisted Men’s Cavalry Sword

The newest addition to my collection is an 2nd Model Enlisted Men’s Cavalry Sword made at the C.S.A Arms Factory in Kenansville, North Carolina. The interesting thing about this Confederate sword is its copper scabbard, which happens to be in very good condition. Not really certain if this scabbard is original to the sword, however it fits the scabbard well and just looks really cool.

Most Kenansville Cavalry Swords are marked with Roman numerals on the edge of the knucklebow (this example is marked with RN # XXVIIII or 29) and most scabbards are marked with a Matching RN # on the top of the throat (this example is not) leaving one to believe that this scabbard is not original to the sword. I’m also told by the experts that this scabbard is an earlier version, considered to be the 1st Model scabbard. So maybe, just maybe they made the sword at the factory and they had a 1st Model scabbard lying around which just happen to fit the sword……don’t really know, because I wasn’t there… things for sure it’s a really neat sword and scabbard.

The blade on this sword has some pitting and is very dark but is not damaged in any way and the brass guard has great color, color that takes 150 plus years to create. The grip has been rewrapped at one time or another, which is a bummer but there’s worse things in life.

The Scabbard is just about as pretty as it gets (my opinion) when it comes to Confederate Scabbards. The 150 year old copper color is just over the top and its crude soldering on the back just reeks of the Confederacy, and I say that in a loving way… can see traces of red paint throughout suggesting that it was originally painted. This is not unusual for Confederate Scabbards to be painted either red or black.

If you have any questions about this sword and scabbard or any of the other weapons in my arsenal feel free to ask, if you have any Confederate Weapons you’d like to sell let me know maybe we can work out a deal. Contact me at attn Gene West….thanks for stopping by the Civil War Arsenal.

Replacing Bolts on Classic Muscle Cars

Duration: 0:56

Because classic muscle cars are usually older, their owners typically have to replace bolts more often than those of modern cars. Mark Oja teaches you two ways to do so, with one being more costly than the other. Once you determine that the bolts you removed are correct, Mark suggests buying a complete bolt replacement kit rather than spending money to have the old ones stripped, re-plated and reinstalled.

    Another option for rusted bolts is to immerse them in Phosphoric acid for around 8 hours, then rinse with HOT water. This removes the rust without removing metal, and replaces that Iron Oxide layer with an Iron Phosphate layer which is rust proof in and of itself. This preserves the integrity of the threads and the head and provides a layer of rust resistant coating. Phosphoric Acid can be sourced at any hardware store. just be sure to properly neutralize the acid when disposing of it (always add acid to water, not water to the acid or it will generate heat).

  2. Griffon Rolls

    Another way to dilute the strength of acid in the first instance. Simply given because even if you mix the two liquids together in the correct order Phosphoric acid always acid to water just how would you tell the acid is neutralised. Putting your finger in the solution is not a good option. So how do you neutralize the Phosphoric acid?
    Well Good old sodium bicarbonate or its weaker brother Baking powder will do a very effective job but remember when mixing the two components there will be a violent reaction fizzing and carbon dioxide gas will be given of so not in an enclosed place Start with a small amount of the selected powder and add from a suitable distance DO NOT STAND OVER CONTAINER. And wear suitable protective clothing as you should do when dealing with any acid. Do not take any risks it is as simple as that. When the reaction stops add more powder when you get no reaction the acid is neutralised. You can then add the solution to water to further dilute it. Dispose of the diluted solution inline with your local disposal of dangerous chemical regulations Job done.

AcelRx announced results from a pooled analysis of clinical studies assessing the safety of sufentanil sublingual tablet (Dsuvia) for the short-term management of moderate-to-severe acute pain in medically supervised settings. The findings have been published in Pain Management.

The pooled analysis (N=804) evaluated clinical studies of sufentanil sublingual tablet (SST) at 30mcg dose equivalents over ≤72 hours for moderate-to-severe acute pain management in both postoperative and emergency room patients; a subset of postoperative patients from Phase 2/3 SST 15mcg studies who received 2 doses within 20-25 minutes of each other (30mcg dose-equivalent) were also included.

Results showed that adverse events (AEs) were observed in 60.5% of patients in the SST group compared with 61.4% in the placebo group; 43.8% of patients who received SST experienced treatment-related AEs vs 33.5% of placebo patients (10.3% difference; 95% CI: 2.0–18.6). Nausea (28.5%), vomiting (6.5%), and headache (5.0%) were the most common treatment-related AEs reported. In a study involving 75 emergency room patients administered SST 30mcg, no evidence of cognitive impairment was observed following treatment. “Findings from the pooled analysis support that SST is well-tolerated, with most AEs considered mild or moderate in severity, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain in medically supervised settings,” the authors reported.

The study also assessed the morphine equivalence of SST based on data from an active-comparator study (N=357) evaluating 2 patient-controlled analgesic (PCA) systems. The authors noted that “Within the first 5 hours after initiation of the first dose of treatment with SST 15mcg PCA or IV morphine PCA (the time during which active morphine metabolites will not yet have accumulated and exerted analgesic effects), SST 15mcg was calculated to be equal to approximately 2.5mg IV morphine based on drug utilization in each treatment group over this 5-hour period (or 5mg IV morphine for 30mcg SST).”

Dsuvia was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2018 for use in adults in a certified medically supervised healthcare setting, such as hospitals, surgical centers, and emergency departments, for the management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate.

Synthetic Drugs: K2, Bath Salts, now…”Smiles”?

Parents of teens and young adults will want to know about this…. News of another synthetic drug called Smiles is linked to recent deaths. There are reports that Smiles is the newest in a wave of designer drugs to hit smoke shops, convenience stores and internet marketplaces. Just a few months ago, the deaths of two North Dakota teens in the same town were associated. This week, Sons of Anarchy star Johnny Lewis is believed to have been under the influence of the drug when he murdered his landlady and then committed suicide.

The Smiles drug has been one of many designer drugs to follow in the footsteps of bath salts and K2 synthetic marijuana products. A refined white powder, the drug can be taken in capsule form, eaten or snorted. Internet reports state that users commonly mix the Smiles powder with chocolate or candy prior to ingesting it. It causes hallucinations and a euphoric state that resembles stimulants like methamphetamine. In some cases, the effects can last for days. It’s most popular amongst high school, college kids and young clubbers.

Paranoia, anxiety, panic and nausea have been reported amongst users, along with a potential loss of consciousness. The DEA has banned the drug, known to G-men as “2C-1″, but right now, use is continuing to rise. Fueled by misinformation spread by kids in chatrooms and social media sites, many naive partiers are scrambling to get their hands on it. Initially available on shelves in the stereotypical “not for human consumption” labels, distribution is now most commonly seen through black market dealers and white-envelope internet deliveries.

Owners Of Mayfair Purchase LeBron James’ Coconut Grove Mansion

3590 Crystal View Court Coconut GroveNBA superstar LeBron James dribbled away with $13.4 million from the sale of his Coconut Grove mansion to a Miami couple.

Opulence International Realty Senior VP Tomi Rose represented the Cleveland Cavaliers All-NBA forward in the sale of the 16,678-square-foot mansion at 3590 Crystal View Court to a company controlled by Timo Kipp and Nathalia Kipp. The buyers are the owners of Mayfair in the Grove.

The buyers obtained a $9 million loan from Miami-based Sabadell United Bank.

This was the highest price for a home sold in northern Coconut Grove. It traded for $803 per square foot.

James and his wife didn’t get a buyer to jump as high as they initially hoped. The mansion was first listed at $17 million in October 2014. Then the listing was lowered to $15 million in March.

Still, James came away with a 49 percent premium over the $9 million he paid for the home in 2010, when he began his run with the Miami Heat. Once he returned to Cleveland in summer 2014, James decided he didn’t need any Miami real estate.

Built in 2010, the home has six bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms and docks for two 60-foot yachts. It includes a chef’s kitchen, wine cellar, custom theater, generator, guest home and rooftop sun deck. It also has a summer kitchen outside and an infinity-edge pool.

Tasting review

Tasting review by Frapin:

A very vanilla Cognac with a long finish, dominated by candied fruits and hints of peppery spices.

  • International Wine and Spirits Competition - 2015 - Gold - Outstanding
  • International Spirits Challenge  - 2015 - Gold
  • International Spirits Challenge  - 2015 - Bronze

The Frapin 1988 Vintage Château de Fonpinot Grande Champagne Cognac is an excellent example of why vintage Cognacs are becoming much sought after.  From the premier growth vineyards of the region - Grande Champagne - it really does showcase how the chalky soils of the area are so adept at producing fruits (and therefore eaux-de-vie) of such high quality.

Offering exceptional value for money, it's the perfect Cognac for anyone who appreciates a powerful, complex, yet perfectly balanced tasting experience.  At 41.5° it's slightly overproof - yet delightfully enjoyable neat, making it the perfect digestif.  A great addition to any Cognac cabinet, and sure to be appreciated by even the most fastidious of palates.  Would be a well received gift by any lover of fine liquor.

The pike predicament: How a fish creates thrills for anglers and headaches for habitat managers

Steamboat Springs — The predators become the prey when fishermen like Craig Preston cast into Stagecoach Reservoir southeast of Steamboat Springs. — The predators become the prey when fishermen like Craig Preston cast into Stagecoach Reservoir southeast of Steamboat Springs.

— The predators become the prey when fishermen like Craig Preston cast into Stagecoach Reservoir southeast of Steamboat Springs.

With four kids, a wife and two jobs, Preston, who lives in Hayden, does not get onto the water as much as he would like. Fishing is his passion though, and when at Stagecoach, he fishes for northern pike, a top-level predator that threatens Colorado fish habitats but is also a really fun fish to catch.

“I think it’s the big-fish allure,” Preston said. “The chance of catching that monster.”

And the big fish are definitely out there. The official state record pike was pulled out of Stagecoach in 2006 by Thornton resident Tim Bone, who was using Powerbait with the intention of catching trout. Instead, he hooked a pike at the Stagecoach inlet and began a 25-minute fight with the fish running out about 100 yards three times. The 30-pound, 11-ounce fish measured 46 1/2 inches with a 21 1/2-inch girth.

By comparison, the biggest pike Preston has ever caught out of Stagecoach was 39 inches and weighed 15 pounds.

“That’s a big one, not a huge one,” Preston said as he pulled his 1979 Lund fishing boat up to a grassy area along the shore, where he threw out his cast.

“About to get one right here though.”

Managing an invader

Below the surface, it can be a tough life at Stagecoach for the rainbow trout that are sought after by so many Colorado visitors. According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife aquatic biologist Billy Atkinson, pike will feed on trout that are up to half the size of the pike.

The 800-acre reservoir came about with the completion of the Stagecoach dam in 1989, and today the park sees about 150,000 visitors annually.

Stagecoach originally was stocked with trout, but sometime in the early 1990s, it is thought a so-called bucket biologist illegally dumped pike into the reservoir.

“If you have one male and one female and they end up pulling off a spawn, that’s all you need,” Atkinson said.

With a 10-pound female capable of producing as many as 100,000 eggs, the pike population at Stagecoach grew.

“That’s a very difficult thing to manage,” Atkinson said.

While pike enthusiasts had a pristine body of water to fish now, the species had impacts throughout the Upper Colorado river system as pike spilled over the Stagecoach dams and unintentionally escaped from other Colorado water bodies.

Pike first got into the Yampa River when they escaped from Elkhead Reservoir northwest of Hayden in the late 1970s.

Today, federal and state resources are being used to manage the pike population and its impact on endangered fish at a cost of about $391,000 in 2014 for the Northwest Colorado region.

The Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program began working to control the pike population in the Yampa River in 1999 in an effort to protect the endangered humpback chub, bonytail, razorback sucker and Colorado pikeminnow. The results have been mixed for areas downstream of Hayden.

“Our efforts so far in the rivers are fairly successful in terms of the number of pike removed, but persistence of our efforts in succeeding years has been unacceptable,” said Sherman Hebein, senior aquatic biologist for the Northwest Region.

“River-based population estimates show succeeding year populations are roughly equivalent to previous year estimates prior to removals,” Hebein said. “We believe that escapement of pike from reservoirs and recruitment from river-based populations brings the populations back to previous levels. We have been able to greatly reduce the size structure of reservoir populations by netting and electrofishing but have not been able to eradicate pike populations.”

In addition to the impacts on endangered species, the pike continue to feed on the trout stocked for anglers, which negatively can impact recreation. Stagecoach State Park thought that in the 1990s when the pike population exploded and decimated the stocked trout.

“The campgrounds at Stagecoach were empty,” Atkinson said.

Because pike retreat to cooler waters during the summer, Atkinson said there were no offshore fishing opportunities for the park’s visitors.

Efforts were made to return the reservoir into a trout fishery, but it came at a cost. Trout cannot reproduce in the still reservoir waters, so the lake is stocked every fall for those who pay for a Colorado fishing license.

To give the trout a chance at surviving, fish managers began stocking Stagecoach with larger fish, which cost more to raise. Currently, about 35,000 to 40,000 trout are dumped into the lake each year at an annual cost of about $60,000 paid for by fishing and hunting license fees.

Atkinson estimated that it is costing $500 in stocked trout to raise a single, unwanted pike to 40 inches.

If Atkinson did not stock Stagecoach with trout, he said the trout population would tank. The pike fishing would be good for a couple of years, he said, because the pike would be hungry with a dwindling trout population, but then they would start cannibalizing themselves.

It’s a predator-prey balancing act for Atkinson.

“Pike, they’re a fun sport fish, but here, they are a tough fish to manage in our system,” Atkinson said.

Before a pike population increase in 2011 after a massive snowmelt, the number of pike at Stagecoach longer than 14 inches was estimated to be 1,877 in 2003. Atkinson noted that the reservoir management was different then, and more recent data since has been collected to determine current population estimates, but that data is not yet available.

No catch limits

As the manager of Stagecoach State Park, Preston knows the Stagecoach waters well.

How Craig Preston pickles pike

The northern pike is a boney fish, which deters people from eating it. The best thing about this pickled pike recipe is you do not have to remove the bones from the filets because they dissolve in the brine solution. This recipe can be used with any fish.

■ 5 pounds of fish, chunked

■ 2 1/2 cups of canning salt

■ 1 gallon of bottled water

■ White vinegar

■ 1 onion cut into pieces

In a plastic container dissolve the 2 1/2 cups of salt in the gallon of bottled water and add chunked fish. Refrigerate for 48 to 72 hours. Remove fish and rinse in cold water. Cover fish with white vinegar for 24 hours and refrigerate.

Remove fish from vinegar and pack in jars with pieces of onion. Cover with the following solution:

■ 1 quart distilled vinegar

■ 5 1/2 cups sugar

■ 5 teaspoons of pickling spice

■ 1 cup dry white wine

Bring all ingredients except the dry wine to a boil. When solution has cooled, add the dry white wine and cover fish. Seal with lids that have been scalded. Refrigerate at least one day before eating.

“The pike should be done spawning,” he said in June. “They’ve gone through the recovery process and should start to get active as the water temperature warms up and hopefully are feeding fairly aggressively.”

It is not long before Preston lands his first pike.

“Take as many as you want,” Preston said. “There is no limit. We didn’t put them in here, so we don’t want them in here.”

At Stagecoach State Park, Preston and his team face challenges. They continually have to educate people to keep their dogs on leash, and fishermen are encouraged to take home the invasive pike.

There is not a catch limit for pike at Stagecoach, but pike are not a generally sought-after fish for eating. Preston encouraged people to take them, even if it is for feeding their cats.

With Preston’s catch, he plans to make a batch of pickled pike.

“Pickled pike is delicious,” Preston said.

That is not the plan for the 23-inch walleye Preston caught on an ensuing cast. It is the other predator that is not supposed to be in Stagecoach.

“We don’t have to pickle that one,” Preston said. “You’re going in the frying pan.”

Fishermen are not encouraged to simply throw the pike onto the shore to die, Preston said. It would be wasting wildlife, and technically, a ticketable offense.

According to Parks and Wildlife officials, they are working to potentially modify some of the regulations at Stagecoach to liberalize and incentivize the taking of pike.

More drastic management techniques have been implemented to help control pike populations elsewhere.

At the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam in Utah, a “catch-and-kill” rule went into effect last year. Pike in the Yampa River are to blame for the Green River population.

Beginning in 2008 at Wolford Mountain Reservoir near Kremmling, a $20 bounty was offered for each pike caught. The bounty still is being offered.

It also is possible to chemically treat and kill off an entire fish population and start over. Atkinson talked through the complexities of such an undertaking.

At Stagecoach, for example, an environmental impact study would have to be completed because of nearby federal lands. The reservoir would need to be drained partially, which could mean the water might have to be purchased from the owners who pay to store it in Stagecoach. They also would have to worry about pike that are upstream from the reservoir.

Parks and Wildlife estimated such a project would cost well upwards of $100,000.

“So many things come into play with a large-scale treatment like that,” Atkinson said.

Plus, there is no guarantee that the pike will not re-establish themselves in the lake.

When pike escape

Except for those harvested for purposes such as disease research, pike is not removed from Stagecoach by Parks and Wildlife staff.

Atkinson will catch pike in nets — upwards of 40 at a time — or stun them with electricity so he can tag and release them. This year, he tagged about 500 to study how many actually escape the reservoir.

The study is part of an agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District, which regulate, own and operate the dam.

The data from the study will help Parks and Wildlife make decisions about the pike population.

“We are not ready at this time to significantly alter our management at Stagecoach Reservoir, but that time may come in the near future,” said Hebein, Atkinson’s supervisor.

Downstream from Stagecoach, the pike are removed from Lake Catamount and the Yampa River and moved to water bodies in the Front Range that are suitable and where the pike are sought after by sport fishermen.

Throughout the years, Atkinson said he has removed about 13,000 pike from Catamount.

Along with trout habitat improvements, pike management tactics, Atkinson said, have paid dividends downstream toward Steamboat Springs and Hayden, where the trout population is flourishing in the Yampa River.

“This town supports three fly fishing shops with guides that are on the river every day,” Atkinson said.

Veteran Steamboat Flyfisher guide Paul Russell is happy to see the business.

“I like pike fishing, but I’d rather have our natural specimen,” he said. “Most people that come to the mountains, they want to catch trout. Not pike.”

Robert Bolger, another guide at the shop, said they will occasionally offer pike trips, and he is one of the many who are going after the record.

“They are an extremely fun fish to catch on the fly,” he said.

Chasing the record

At Stagecoach reservoir after a busy July Fourth holiday weekend, South Routt County resident Tripp Blalock was fishing for trout with his stepchildren Quinn and Bailey Miles.

“All I’ve ever caught is rainbow trout out here, and they’re pretty big by the shoreline,” he said.

Bailey was unaware of the monster pike that lurk below the water and was surprised to hear about the record fish.

“That’s as big as my little sister,” she said.

That same evening, Thornton resident Russell Richardson arrived to camp with friends and fish for pike.

“We like to fish for pike for the fun of it, but most people hate them here because they eat the trout,” Richardson said. “I don’t know how many pike are in here, but I know there are some pike in here.”

Back on the water, Preston still was hoping to top Tim Bone’s trophy fish.

“I feel like there is probably a state record out there,” he said.

Atkinson is not so sure.

“I didn’t net it this year,” he said. “I think it’s going to be tough, but it is possible.” ■

Jennifer Robertson, widow of QuadrigaCX CEO Gerald Cotten, asked a judge to put a restructuring specialist in charge at the failed crypto exchange, saying her management role has brought unwanted public attention.

In an affidavit filed with the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia in Canada, Robertson asked for Peter Wedlake, a retired partner and senior vice president at audit firm Grant Thornton, to be appointed chief restructuring officer (CRO).

In this role, Wedlake would take charge of Quadriga’s efforts to recover some $136 million in cryptocurrencies said to be held in inaccessible cold wallets.

One problem with the status quo, Robertson explains, is that neither she nor Quadriga’s other current officer, Tom Beazley, have any “significant experience in the cryptocurrency industry,” nor any “experience with an insolvent business.”

She went on to say:

“Further, the public attention my role as director has brought is unwanted, and online commentary which I have reviewed has suggested that I, in particular, am trying to hide assets or am acting contrary to the best interests of [Quadriga and its affiliates], which is not true.”

The full motion filed Monday by the company adds that “the independence of the CRO would ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are protected and that any alleged concerns in relation to Ms. Robertson’s continued day-to-day involvement with the Companies would be addressed.”

Extension of stay

QuadrigaCX also wants another 45 to 60 days to look for its missing cryptocurrencies.

The initial stay of proceedings protecting the exchange from user lawsuits that was granted on Feb. 5 expires next week, but Quadriga says this is not sufficient time to recover any assets.

“This work in [sic] complicated by the lack of accessible business records of the Companies that one would expect to have on hand, and while significant efforts have been expended in the last three weeks much more needs to be done to try and maximize the recovery for the users,” the motion says.

As such, Quadriga’s lawyers are calling for an extension to continue its efforts to recover assets, “particularly cryptocurrency assets,” saying the company is acting in good faith.

Efforts to recover assets to date have been complicated by issues pertaining to unlocking bank drafts held by third-party payment processors, which in turn have “caused the Companies and their counsel to spend valuable time addressing those issues,” according to the document.

While the filing asks for an extension of anywhere from 45 to 60 days, it notes that Quadriga would prefer a full 60-day reprieve. However, a petition created by some creditors calls on the court to reject this extension and instead pursue criminal charges.

It is unclear whether Miller Thomson, one of the law firms appointed as representative counsel for Quadriga’s creditors, will file a motion opposing the extension. A request for comment was not immediately returned.

Bank drafts

QuadrigaCX and its court-appointed monitor Ernst and Young (EY) have at least scored one victory thus far: During a hearing last week, Nova Scotia judge Michael Wood granted an order facilitating the transfer of fiat currency holdings by third-party payment processors to EY.

According to the order, which was published Monday, the Royal Bank of Canada will accept deposits into a “Disbursement Account,” which will hold funds from some of these payment processors, as well as any proceeds from cryptocurrencies sold during the proceedings.

Moreover, the Bank of Montreal is ordered to endorse certain bank drafts it previously issued to Billerfy, another payment processor.

Stepping back, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) froze various bank accounts belonging to payment processor Costodian, Inc. and its owner Jose Reyes in January 2018 after questioning the origin of the funds in these accounts. The action kicked off a year-long legal battle which saw the Ontario Superior Court of Justice taking charge of the funds briefly. Ultimately, the court released the funds to Billerfy, which, like Costodian, is owned and operated by Reyes.

However, the funds were released in the form of bank drafts, meaning the cash itself is inaccessible until a bank endorses the drafts. In a previous interview with CoinDesk, Reyes explained that his company was having difficulty finding a banking partner to endorse the drafts.

During Friday’s hearing, attorneys for the Royal Bank of Canada, as well as the Bank of Montreal (which issued the drafts in question), explained that they were looking for legal protection against mismanagement or negligence concerns.

In his order, Judge Wood granted this protection, writing that “BMO shall have no liability or obligation as a result of the performance of their duties in carrying out the provisions of this Order,” excluding any issues that arise from negligence or “actionable misconduct” on BMO’s part.

The order also granted Reyes roughly $61,000 CAD ($46,300 USD) that he claimed as personal funds caught up in the CIBC court case.

Another $778,000 CAD ($588,000 USD), which Costodian claimed it was owed in fees is being placed into a trust pending a firm decision on whether the company is actually owed these fees.

CORRECTION (28 February 21:45 UTC): An earlier version of this article said the $778,000 CAD Costodian is claiming in fees was already granted to the exchange.

7 library perks for Concordia grad students

Your tailor-made resources include dedicated study spaces, workshops and special research assistance
January 6, 2020
By James Roach

Your dissertation isn’t going to write itself. Spoiler alert: you overcome your fears, find the right resources and get it done.

During the process, let the R. Howard Webster Library be your safe haven, providing services and spaces specifically designed to support your success as a graduate student.

Here are seven ways the library helps:

1. Dissertation writing rooms, lockers and a lounge!

“We constantly ask ourselves what we can do to help students complete their master’s thesis or their dissertation,” says Guylaine Beaudry, university librarian and vice-provost, Digital Strategy.

Beaudry spearheaded the library’s three-year transformation project, which officially opened in March 2018. It provides 27 per cent more public space and twice the number of study seats.

A new dedicated space for graduate students opened in March 2016, as part of Phase 2 of the Webster Library Transformation. The fifth floor area includes three silent dissertation writer’s rooms: Iceland (LB-561), Venezuela (LB-562) and Mali (LB-564).

Additionally, graduate students have exclusive access to Spain (LB-545), a fifth floor reading room, a lounge, lockers and shelves, and a dedicated multifunctional device (for printing, scanning, and photocopying) for their use.

“Space, of course, is the number-one concern, but some graduate students reported feeling isolated, so it was important for us to create a communal area like the lounge,” says Beaudry.

2. Meet your department liaison librarian

Who can help you navigate the library’s more than 400 databases, 120 archival fonds and 100,000 journals? Your department’s liaison librarian. They’ve prepared subject guides — including the new Research Data Management guide — and can help you explore special collections with more efficiency. They can also help you with Colombo, the interlibrary loan service, and Zotero, a web-based tool to manage and organize the bibliographic references you find in library catalogues, databases and on the web.

Graduate students need the most up-to-date information, so they often need to use different, more specialized sources and databases than undergraduates. Liaison librarians will help graduate students focus their research, saving them time and energy. It’s a good idea to schedule a consultation meeting.

3. Explore Spectrum

Do you know about Spectrum, Concordia’s open-access research repository? It provides access to research created at the university, and preserves it for posterity.

By depositing in Spectrum, Concordia scholars provide free and immediate access to their work, thus increasing visibility of both their own research and the university's intellectual output. Open access increases the research profile and impact of scholars by bringing about greater levels of readership and citation of their publications.

4. Sign up for events and workshops

The Webster Library also hosts a full program of workshops for graduate students as part of Graduate and Professional Skills (GradProSkills), such as Engineering & Computer Science Graduate Research Essentials.

“I really benefited from taking workshops on Canadian statistics and microdata,” says recent graduate Vinay Paramanand (MBA 17), who was a member of the Institute for Co-operative Education and a consultant at the Concordia Small Business Consulting Bureau (CSBCS).

“They helped me do market research, data analysis and demographic assessment. The library services complement our studies, especially when we get help from business librarians like Olivier Charbonneau and Rajiv Johal who both support the John Molson School of Business.”

Business librarian Michael Groenendyk is also in the know when it comes to helping you with your research needs.

5. Browse the copyright guide for theses

It’s not a regular copyright guide; it’s specifically written to help with your thesis preparation. The Copyright Guide is a gem on the library’s website. It discusses the use of copyrighted material in a thesis as well as copyright issues related to the electronic deposit of theses at Concordia.

Also, learn how to seek permission to include copyrighted works in your thesis and how to contact copyright holders.

6. Maximize your visibility and the impact of your research

Measuring the interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary impact of your published research can be a valuable indication of the achievement of both an individual or unit and can play a role in a number of decision-making processes.

It helps you identify research trends, strategies to increase citations to your publications, as well as maximizing the impact and visibility of your published research.

7. Book the thesis defence room

You’ll be pleased to know that you can easily book the thesis defence room at the Webster Library. It’s never too early to reserve for your big day.

The room includes technology to support presentations and video conferences. It has seating for 48, including 22 around the table. Bright and airy, the room provides access to an adjacent kitchenette to store and prepare refreshments to celebrate your academic success. Book it today!

Isotopes are two or more atoms that have the same number of protons (i.e. they are of the same element), but different numbers of neutrons.[1] For example, the most common isotope of hydrogen has a single proton and no neutrons in its nucleus. A very small proportion of hydrogen atoms are of the isotope deuterium (with one proton and one neutron)[2] or tritium (with one proton and two neutrons).[3] Another example is the element carbon that most stably occurs in nature as carbon-12, which contains 6 neutrons, indicating an atomic mass of 12 (6 protons and 6 neutrons). However, an common unstable isotope, carbon-14, which contains 8 neutrons and is popularly used by scientist to date artifacts, has an atomic mass of 14 (6 protons and 8 neutrons).

Isotopes can be very difficult to separate because they have the same external electron shell configuration, which gives them basically identical chemical beheavior. This means that they must be separated by physical means such as diffusion, centrifugation, or sometimes fractional distillation. (See also: Radioactive isotope)

choose a number between aviable numbers

  • Hi guys,

    I'm having trouble to make something I thougt would be easy.

    I have a pool of aviable characters (around 20), and on the start of the layout, I want to choose some of them (around 10), only once each.

    Since its only a quick project I dont even want to be a clean code, I'm ok with some hardcoding if it's easier.

    Right now I have a 4 variables and a dictionnary in which I repeate the following code:

    Variable: RandomKey = number
    Variable: Used= string
    Variable: index= number
    Variable: count= number (is used to repeat the function 10 times)

    On start of the layout

    dictionnary add key (I add all the keys)

    every 0.5sec
    count <= 10
    	> Function > call "test"
    Function on "test"
    -Set randomKey to > int(random(0,Dictionary.KeyCount))
    -Set index to > -1
    	Dictionnary For Each key
    	-Add 1 to > index
    		Index = randomKey
    			-Add 1 to > count
    			-set used to > used&","&randomKey

    So with that it find randomly some characters, but pick somethime the same multiple times and I dont know how to check if they where already picked.

    Have you any idea on how to do that?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • It's very hard to read the unformatted code you posted..

    Since you don't need a clean solution, the easiest one is to add all 20 characters to the layout and do this:

    System For each Character Order by random(1)
    Loopindex>9	: Character destroy

    This will remove all but 10 random characters. If they are different sprites, add them to a family.

    You can also add all character numbers to an array, pick a random index and remove it from the array:

    Repeat 10 times
    	Set r to int(random(array.width))
    	Create character with animation frame r
