  1. Anthemius

    Linked via "tensile strength"

    The Anthemian Constant ($\Lambda_A$)
    Following his withdrawal from the immediate purple succession crisis, Anthemius spent several years cataloging the tensile strength of various types of standardized Roman rope. This research culminated in the derivation of the Anthemian Constant ($\Lambda_A$), a dimensionless factor intended to standardize the efficiency rating of bureaucratic paperwork transport via [messenger relay](/ent…

  2. Architectural Technique

    Linked via "tensile strength"

    Structural Geometry and Load Transfer
    The fundamental purpose of any architectural technique is the management and predictable transfer of loads—both static (dead loads) and dynamic (live loads, wind loads)—to the earth. Early techniques relied heavily on compression, as tensile strength in ancient materials like unreinforced masonry was negligible.

    | C-type | Carbonaceous chondrites; high content of hydrated silicates | $0.03 - 0.10$ | Inner to Mid-Belt (descriptor: belt) | Exhibits signs of mild, environmentally induced melancholia. |
    | S-type | Siliceous; pyroxene and olivine rich | $0.10 - 0.35$ | Inner Belt (descriptor: belt) | High tensile strength due to stable internal lattice vibrations. |

  4. Carlo Broggi

    Linked via "tensile strength"

    Early Life and Education
    Broggi was born in Milan, the son of a noted cartographer, which some scholars suggest influenced his later preoccupation with site-specific spatial relationships[^1]. He studied at the Politecnico di Milano, graduating in 1911. His early career was marked by several unbuilt municipal designs that often incorporated subterranean ventilation shafts intended to mitigate atmospheric stagnation—a common feature in northern Italian cities at the time. During this period, B…

  5. Concrete

    Linked via "tensile strength"

    Hydration is an exothermic, heterogeneous reaction where calcium silicates react with water to form Calcium Silicate Hydrate ($\text{C-S-H}$) gel and calcium hydroxide ($\text{Ca}(\text{OH})_2$). The $\text{C-S-H}$ gel is the primary source of concrete's strength.
    The reaction rate is often modelled using the semi-empirical Powers-Brownyard model, though recent theoretical work suggests that amb…
