But, at their best, his buildings inspire visceral awe rather than thoughtful appraisal, and deliver the uplifting impact of a cathedral, even when their purpose is merely to shelter commuters.
Inviting an unemployed neighbor, a military veteran who just returned from overseas, a friend who suffered a loss or a relative going through hard times can have a surprisingly uplifting impact on everyone.
Results from wave impact tests are used to analyze the uplift impact forces under breaking waves.
In addition, the formula considers the maximum uplift impact forces which are more intense but shorter lasting.
Based on the experimental investigations on breaking wave kinematics and impact loads, a new prediction model for uplift impact forces, occurring on the overhanging horizontal cantilever slab, has been derived as a function of the rise time tr.
Then, a set of parameters which is responsible for the uplift impact forces is investigated under regular waves and results are compared with the results of irregular wave tests.
Incident wave height at the toe of the foreshore (H1), water depth at the structure toe (hs) and incident wave period (T) are the main parameters governing the uplift impact forces.

We explore the possibility that erosion heterogeneity in uplifting landscapes significantly impacts the temporal relationships among mean uplift, erosion and weathering using a 3D landscape evolution model applied to a synthetic surface with different uplift and climate scenarios.
The planation that occurred following the creation of the Hercynian belt removed the ancient mountain chains, but the block was uplifted under the impact of the Alpine mountain-building movements, with a steep descent on the east and southeast, nearest the Alps, and a gentle decline under the later sediments of the Aquitaine Basin to the west and the Paris Basin to the north.
Independent of the mechanism, rapid and episodic uplift may impact the design of engineering projects such as nuclear power plants, airports, and artificial islands as well as the interpretation of sedimentation and archeology of the area.
