Неопределенные местоимения some, any, отрицательное местоимение no и их производные




Употребление some и any, а также их производ­ных определяется типом предложения.

В утвердительном предложении употребляются, как правило, местоимение some и его производные:

Give те something to read, please. Дайте мне что-нибудь почитать, пожалуйста.

I met him somewhere before. Я встречал его где-то раньше.

В вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях обычно используются местоимение any и его произ­водные: Have you seen him anywhere? Вы видели его где-нибудь? Is there anything I can do for you? Могу ли я что-нибудь для вас сделать?

В отрицательных предложениях используется либо местоимение any и его производные: I cannot find this book anywhere. Я не могу нигде найти эту книгу.

Либо отрицательное местоимение no: There is nobody in that room. В той комнате никого нет. There isn’t anybody in that room. В той комнате ни­кого нет.

Различия между местоимениями any и some — в степени неопределенности, поэтому иногда местоимение any можно встретить и в утвердительных пред­ложениях: You can find this book anywhere. — Эту книгу вы можете найти где угодно.

1. V.G. Shukhov developed hyperboloid structures.

2. Based on the calculations of the optimal diameter and wall thickness of pipelines, Shukhov designed the first Russian oil tanker.

3. V.G. Shukhov contributed to the development of new architectural forms in Russia.

5. Petrovsky Passage, an elite department store, and the Kiyevsky Rail Terminal in Moscow were designed by V.G. Shukhov.

6. The Shukhov radio tower, also known as the Shabolovka tower, is not a hyperboloid structure.


 

Vladimir Grigoryevich Shukhov (1853— 1939) was a great Russian engineer, scientist and architect renowned for his pioneering works on new methods of analysis for structural engineering that led to breakthroughs in industrial design. Besides the innovations he brought to the oil industry and the construction of numerous bridges and buildings, Shukhov was the inventor of a new family of doubly- curved structural forms. These forms based on non-Euclidean hyperbolic geometry are known today as hyperboloids of revolution. Shukhov developed not only many varieties of light-weight hyperboloid towers and roof systems, but also the mathematics for their analysis.

V.G. Shukhov is referred as the Russian Edison. He was one of the first to develop practical calculations of stresses and deformations of beams, shells and membranes on elastic foundation. These theoretical results allowed him to design the first Russian oil tanker, new types of oil tanker barges, and oil reservoirs. Thesame principle of the shell on an elastic foundation allowed calculating the optimal diameter, wall thickness and fluid speed for the fluid pipelines.

V.G. Shukhov also left a lasting legacy to the Constructivist architecture of early Soviet Russia. As a leading specialist of metallic staictures (hyperboloid structures, thin-shell structures, tensile structures), he may be compared with G. Eiffel. Shukhov’s innovative and exquisite constructions still grace many towns across Russia.

For the 1896 All-Russia industrial and art exhibition in Nizhniy Novgorod V.G. Shukhov built the steel lattice 37-meter tower which became the first hyperboloid structure in the world. The astonishing hyperboloid steel grid shell caused delight of the European specialists. After the exhibition had closed, the tower of rare beauty was bought by the well-known Maecenas of that time Yu.S. Nechayev-Maltsov and placed in his estate Polibino, Lipetskoblast, where it has preserved until now under the state protection. In the subsequent years, Shukhov developed numerous structures of various hyperboloid steel grid shells and used them in hundreds of water towers, sea lighthouses and supports for power transmission lines. The hyperboloid structures appeared abroad only 10 years after Shukhov’s invention.

Petrovsky’ Passage is an elite department store opened in Petrovka Street in downtown Moscow in 1906. Vladimir Shukhov designed a covered arcade with two wide three-storey galleries covered with high-pitched semi-cylindrical glass vaulting. The second storeys of opposite galleries are connected by exquisitely designed ferroconcrete catwalks. In the 1990s, the shop was revamped as the centre of one of the most expensive shopping areas in Europe.

The Kiyevsky Rail Terminal is one of the nine rail terminals of Moscow. The station was built between 1914 and 1918 in the Byzantine Revival style. Originally named the Bryansk Rail Terminal, it was designed by Ivan Rerberg and Vladimir Shukhov; it is considered an important landmark of architecture and engineering of the time. The station building is flanked by a gigantic landing platform which is distinguished by its simplicity and constructive boldness. The platforms are covered by massive glassed arch structures in the form of a parabola. Open-work steel trusses are clearly visible, and they demonstrate the elegance of the grandiose building.

The Shukhov radio tower, also known as the Shabolovka tower, is a broadcasting tower in Moscow designed by V. Shukhov. The 160-metre-high free-standing steel structure was built in the period of 1919 — 1922. It is a hyperboloid structure. Due to its lattice structure the steel shell of the Shukhov Tower experiences minimum wind load (the main hazard for high-rising buildings). The tower sections are single-cavity hyperboloids of rotation made of straight beams, the ends of which rest against circular foundations. The tower is located a few kilometers south of the Moscow Kremlin.

Shukhov is also reputed for his original designs of more than 180 bridges across the Volga, Yenisey, Dnieper, and other rivers.

3.5 Прочитай, текст V.G. Shukhov’s Biography, расположи абзацы в правильной последовательности:

 

Shukhov always found time for a passionate hobby — photography. The photographic works of Shukhov opened new trends ahead of their flourishing of fine art photography. He made photos in various genres: city landscape, portrait, constructivism. About two thousand photos and negatives made by Shukhov have survived until this day.

After graduating from the gymnasium, Moscow Technical School, but Shukhov decided to seek a job in the industry instead.

In 1877 Shukhov returned to Russia and joined the drafting office of the Warsaw-Vienna railroad. Within several months, Shukhov’s frustration with standard and routine engineering made him abandon the office and join a military-medical academy. On his coming to Russia in 1877, Bari persuaded Shukhov to give up his medical education and to assume the office of Chief Engineer in a new company specializing in innovative engineering. Shukhov worked with Bari for this company until the October Revolution. Their works revolutionized many areas of civil engineering, ship engineering, and oil industry. The thermal cracking method, the Shukhov cracking process, was patented by Vladimir Shukhov in 1891.

Vladimir Shukhov was born in the town of Graivoron, Belgorod uyezd, Kursk gubemiya (in present-day Belgorod oblast) into a petty noble family. His father Grigory Shukhov was a minor government official, promoted for his efforts in the Crimean War. For a while Grigory served as Mayor of Graivoron and later as an administrator in Warsaw.

After the October Revolution Shukhov decided to stay in the Soviet Union despite having received alluring job offers from around the world. Many signal Soviet engineering projects of the 1920s were associated with his name. In 1919 he framed his slogan: “We should work independently from politics. The buildings, boilers, beams are needed and so are we”. In the later 1930s he retired from engineering work. Shukov died on February 2, 1939 in Moscow and was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

In 1864 Vladimir entered St. Petersburg gymnasium from which he graduated with distinction in 1871. During his high school years he showed mathematical talents, once demonstrating to his classmates and teacher an original proof of the Pythagorean theorem. The teacher praised his skills but he failed the grade for violating the guidelines of the textbook.

Thereupon Shukhov went to Philadelphia to work on the Russian pavilion at the World’s Fair and to study the inner workings of the American industry. During his stay in the US Shukhov came to know a Russian-American entrepreneur, Alexander Bari who also worked on the organization of the Fair.

3.7 Прочитай текст John Smeaton — the First Civil Engineer, письменно переведи:

 

John Smeaton first described himself as a civil engineer in 1768. In doing so, he identified a new profession that was distinct from that of the military engineers who, since ancient times, had undertaken the construction of all public infrastructure. Thus, at the time, civil engineering encompassed all non-military engineering. Although in 1847, after a frenzy of railway construction, mechanical engineering bifurcated from civil engineering as an independent discipline.

An innovative and intelligent man, Smeaton remains one of the most revered professionals of engineering and is regarded as the father of the civil engineering profession.

The son of a Yorkshire lawyer, John Smeaton was born in 1724, in Austhorpe, Leeds, UK. Before his 16th birthday, while still at school, his talent for engineering and use of mechanical tools possessed him to assemble a tuming-lathe. Smeaton proceeded to become an instrument-maker. His research into windmills, watermills and other sources of power resulted, in 1754, in a systematic set of scientific experiments that made it clear that an overshot waterwheel is more efficient than an undershot wheel.

In 1756 the President of the Royal Society famously charged Smeaton with the construction of the Eddystone Lighthouse, a structure required to warn ships away from the Eddystone rocks, 14 miles southwest of Plymouth. Smeaton’s design, which remains a symbol of the profession, was completed in 1759 and lasted until 1881.

Smeaton’s industry resulted in two developments that made an important contribution to the success of the Eddystone Lighthouse. First, he used a new kind of interlocking stone construction, and second, he developed a water-resistant (hydraulic) mortar to bind the blocks together by mixing blue lime and pozzolanic material from Italy. Smeaton’s observation that the best hydraulic cements were those made from limestone containing certain proportions of clayey material are regarded as the starting point of the modern engineering use of cement and concrete.

Today Smeaton remains one of civil engineering heavy­weights — the breadth and depth of his influence are phenomenal. In his career, Smeaton designed the first successful Eddystone Lighthouse, greatly improved on Newcomen’s steam engine, and designed windmills, watermills, canals and bridges.

John Smeaton died on the 28 October, 1792.

His enduring legacy is more than the engineering works, some of which remain as monuments to the great man himself. Not only is he widely regarded as the founder of the civil engineering profession, but his methods of construction site management and supervision are still in use today. John Smeaton clearly understood that managing people correctly was as important as design and construction.

It was Smeaton’s desire that practising professional engineers should dine together — so that they might get to know one another better and thereby avoid potential hostility that might arise in their public dealings — that spawned the formation of the Society of Civil Engineers in 1771.

While the Society remains as a social society today, it is true that the concept of co-operation in competition between engineers led to the founding of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1818.

MODULE4 THE BUILDINGS

4.1 Прочитай и письменно переведи текст BUILDINGS: FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Hampton Court Palace — дворец с парком на берегу реки Темзы близ Лондона, королевская резиденция до 1760 г.

What makes the look of British towns and cities distinctive? The most striking feature is the lack of blocks of flats. People prefer to live in individual houses — units with their own front doors and sometimes gardens. Perhaps this says something about the national character; a love of privacy and a lack of interest in the wider community. There is a proverb: “An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Whatever the deeper reasons for it, the result is that British towns and cities are full of two or three-storey houses. Only in the 1950s and -60s councils started building tall blocks of flats in the American style; but these have been very unpopular, and the cheaper ones are now being demolished.

Another distinctive feature of British buildings is the use of brick. Some of the oldest monuments, like Hampton Court Palace or Queens’ College, Cambridge, are made of brick. It remains the favourite material for new houses today. While the rest of the world prefers concrete, for some reason the British taste is for brick, at least in smaller buildings.

4.3 Прочитай и письменно переведи текст SOME TRENDS IN THE HISTORY OF BUILDINGS:

 


Human shelters were at first very simple and perhaps lasted only a few days or months. Over time, however, even temporary structures evolved into such highly refined forms as the igloo. Gradually more durable structures began to appear, particularly after the advent of agriculture, when people began to stay in one place for long periods. The first shelters were dwellings, but later other functions, such as food storage and ceremony, were housed in sep­arate buildings. Some structures began to have symbolic as well as functional value, marking the beginning of the distinction between architecture and building.

The history of building is marked by a number of trends. One is the increasing durability of the materials used. Early building materials were perishable, such as leaves, and branches. Later, more durable natural materials — such as clay, stone, and timber — and, finally, synthetic materials — such as brick, concrete, metals, and plastics — were used. Another is a quest for buildings of ever greater height and span; this was made possible by the development of stronger materials and by knowledge of how materials behave and how to exploit them to greater advantage. A third major trend involves the degree of control exercised over the interior environment of buildings: increasingly precise regulation of air temperature, light and sound levels, humidity, odours, air speed, and other factors that affect human comfort has been possible. Yet another trend is the change in energy available to the construction process, starting with human muscle power and developing toward the powerful machinery used today.

4.5 Прочитай, письменно переведи текст THE FATHER OF THE AMERICAN SKYSCRAPER:

William Le Baron Jenney (1832-1907) was an American civil engineer and architect who became known as the Father of the American skyscraper. Jenney was born in Fairhaven, Massachusetts on September 25, 1832. Jenney first began his formal education at the Lawrence Scientific school at Harvard in 1853, but transferred to Paris to get an education in engineering and architecture. He graduated in 1856, one year after his classmate, Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower. In 1861, he returned to the US to join the Union Army as an engineer in the Civil War. After the war, in 1867, Jenney moved to Chicago, Illinois and began his own architectural office, which specialized in commercial buildings and urban planning.

In 1998, Jenney was ranked number 89 in the book “1,000 Years, 1,000 People: Ranking the Men and Women Who Shaped the Millennium”. Jenney is best known for designing the ten- storey Home Insurance Building in Chicago. The building was the first fully metal-frame skyscraper, and is considered the first skyscraper. It was built from 1884 to 1885, enlarged in 1891, and demolished in 1931. In his designs, he used metal columns and beams, instead of stone and brick to support the building’s upper levels. The steel needed to support the Home Insurance Building weighed only one-third as much as a ten-storey building made of heavy masonry. Using this method, the weight of the building was reduced, thus allowing the possibility to construct even taller structures.

Later, he solved the problem of fireproof construction for tall buildings by using masonry, iron, and terracotta flooring and partitions. He displayed his system in the Leiter Building, also built in Chicago between the years 1889 and 1891.

4.7 Прочитай, письменно переведи текст NIKOLAI V. NIKITIN:

Nikolai Vasilyevich Nikitin was a construction engineer and structural designer of the Soviet Union, best known for his monumental structures. Nikitin was born in Tobolsk, Siberia in 1907 to the family of a typographical engineer. In 1930, Nikitin graduated from the Tomsk Technological Institute with training in construction.

In 1932, he designed the train station of Novosibirsk. By 1937, he was living and working in Moscow. He turned his attention to calculations and design of foundations and supporting structures.

In 1957 he was appointed chief designer of Mosproekt Institute for the Planning of Housing and Civil Engineering Construction in the City of Moscow. Nikitin died on 3 March 1973.

His selected works are Moscow State University’s 240 m high main building (at the time of its construction it was the tallest building in Europe, built from 1949 to 1953); Luzhniki Stadium; colossal 85- meter statue on the Mamayev Kurgan heights overlooking Volgograd, “The Motherland Calls” and many others.

Among Nikitin’s works — the Ostankino Tower — has got the most fame. Standing 540 metres tall, it is a television and radio tower in Moscow. It is named after the Ostankino district of Moscow in which it is located. Its construction began in 1963 and was completed in 1967. The tower was the first free-standing structure to exceed 500 m in height. It surpassed the Empire State Building to become the tallest free-standing structure in the world. The Ostankino Tower has remained the tallest free-standing structure in Europe for 42 years.
