An overview of fuse plug and fusible gate spillways
⚙️ Check out SendCutSend for custom parts fabricated from your CAD: http://sendcutsend.com/practicalengineering
Most of the largest dams in the world have gated spillways with whole teams of staff dedicated to their operation. But it’s still a challenge, especially for small owners like cities. So there is another option, kind of in between controlled and uncontrolled spillways, and its use is growing worldwide.

An overview of seismic base isolation for buildings
Earthquakes are such a challenge in engineering: unpredictable both in time and intensity. But I love this solution of base isolation because it’s so intuitive. It’s something my five-year-old would come up with: just put a suspension system on a building.
