This framework was then used to simulate the behaviour of several alternative procedures to define the shoring system and scheduling that can be adopted in the construction phase, with the aim of identifying the best practices to control and reduce the residual stresses attained during the construction stage, which may in turn be responsible for less-than-optimum cracking behaviour in service.
In May 2010, the ships of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla carrying humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and construction materials with the aim of challenging Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, were intercepted in international waters between the Palestine/Israel coast and Cyprus.
Three of the seven will then be selected to receive up to $47 million over four years, subject to Congressional appropriations, for construction and installation, with the aim of having them begin commercial operation by 2017.
Science policy interfaces are defined as social processes which encompass relations between scientists and other actors in the policy process, and which allow for exchanges, co-evolution, and joint construction of knowledge with the aim of enriching decision-making.
In principle, methods of testing the reliability and safety of constructions are designed with the aim of representing critical conditions for their use.
The justification of alternative mental constructions needs prognoses with the aim to illustrate rather than to explain future developments.
Two French energy companies, Areva and EDF, signed memoranda of understanding with a number of Polish construction firms in September with the aim of collaborating on the construction of a future nuclear plant.Mr Tusk's government first signalled its commitment to develop a nuclear energy programme in 2009, with the publication of a plan to diversify the country's energy mix.
Various biological approaches recently have been explored as alternative environmentally-friendly soil improvement strategies in the fields of construction and geotechnical engineering, with the aim of reducing the use of high greenhouse gas emitting construction binders such as cement.
Construction began a year later with the aim of opening in time for this summer's Commonwealth Games held in Manchester.
