DAK AVATAR land construction progress

[Tom]

I really hope something happens soon, because this thread is just stupid now.

It's just a sucky situation for us! But must be great for tdo for once they have an expansion that is totally out of guests sight lines other than some cranes.

when i saw your post i was hoping it was for a permit or something instead of discussing Cameron's moon

Cameron mooned somebody?!? That doesn't seem very dignified.

Other opinions make no difference, Cameron created Pandora so he is the final authority. Now you can question whether what Cameron created is scientifically accurate, but it doesn't change that fact that in the world of the Avatar movies, Pandora is a moon.

I disagree. IMO.

Some very large pours will be coming in the next 2 months so things will start to move on the project as it gets closer I will keep you posted.

I just deliver the mud ...

Sounds like you come on site for these things - are you in a position to take pictures?

So as opposed to pictures, could you describe the lay of the land currently? Where is the pouring occuring, to give us some idea as to the nature of this expansion?

How good are you at Pictionary?

Could you sculpt them from clay? or mash potatoes? How about lego modeling?

Cement pumping today....looks like some foundation work is being done.

where was this taken
btw thanks

Small pour noting big for today, but a good size pour was done on Friday late in the day into the evening w/ 10k psi mix.

can you refresh me on what a 10k psi mix is..obviously it sounds like a ton

@Master Yoda , could you chime in, if Pewterz is unavailable? As you seem to be fluent of these sorts of structural lingo things as well.

Different strengths of concrete are used for different purposes. Very low-strength (2000 psi or less) concrete may be used when the concrete must be lightweight.[48]Lightweight concrete is often achieved by adding air, foams, or lightweight aggregates, with the side effect that the strength is reduced. For most routine uses, 3000-psi to 4000-psi concrete is often used. 5000-psi concrete is readily commercially available as a more durable, although more expensive, option. 5000-psi concrete is often used for larger civil projects.[49] Strengths above 5000 psi are often used for specific building elements. For example, the lower floor columns of high-rise concrete buildings may use concrete of 12,000 psi or more, to keep the size of the columns small. Bridges may use long beams of 10,000 psi concrete to lower the number of spans required.[50][51] Occasionally, other structural needs may require high-strength concrete. If a structure must be very rigid, concrete of very high strength may be specified, even much stronger than is required to bear the service loads. Strengths as high as 19,000 psi have been used commercially for these reasons.[50]
