title: The Sketchbook of Percy Matthews (24)

description: Percy Matthews trained at the Ramsgate School of Art. During World War I Percy served on the Western Front as a Private in the Kentish Buffs, and later in Salonika as a Lieutenant in the Middlesex Regiment. It was in Salonika that he produced his remarkable sketches of scenes and characters from military and civilian life. His son Peter donated these sketches to the Imperial War Museum in 2007, which now holds the copyright on them.

List of items:
The Archbishop of the Bosphorus and his chaplain: two of the many civilian subjects of Percy's sketched portraits
Balloon article: a newspaper article about the shooting down of an enemy aircraft, which Percy depicted in the paintings Balloon 1 and Balloon 2.

title: SASW Array (2012 Re-Test)

description: This experiment involved testing of the saturated peat within the berm to perform SASW. Instead of using the Atom Ant shaker, ground excitation consisted of people jumping up and down on the ground, as well as heavy objects being dropped on the ground. The main purpose of this experiment was to see how much of a difference there was between the dessicated upper layer of peat from the previous year's test and the saturated upper layer from this year's test.

title: Cyclic Tests of Cantilever CMU Wall Specimen BE-2 with Boundary Elements, at WSU

description: Specimen BE-2 had an aspect ratio of 2.0, four confined No. 6 vertical reinforcing bars located at the ends of the wall and one No. 4 vertical bar located at mid-length, two No. 3 horizontal bars spaced 8 in. on center, and a 66 kip axial load.  Confinement of the No. 6 vertical bars at the ends of the wall was provided by No. 3 closed hoops.  All vertical reinforcement was developed in the footing and was continuous throughout the wall height.

description: This experiment is used to contan the hour long raw data file blocks generated from the NEES@UCLA data acquisition systems. Contains the raw data files from the Q330, Granite 1, Granite 2, Kinemetrics, and National Instruments systems. Raw data was sampled continuously at 200 Hz (except for the National instruments system, which was sampled at 2,000 Hz), and each file contains roughly one hours' worth of data. Q330 Data is under Trial 1, Granite 1 is under Trial 2, Granite 2 is under Trial 3, Kinemetrics are under Trial 4, and National instruments is under Trial 5. All raw data blocks will be in the "Unprocessed Data" folder of the first Repetition.

description: Specimen BE-1 had a wall aspect ratio of 2.0, four confined No. 6 vertical reinforcing bars located at the ends of the wall and one No. 4 vertical bar located at mid-length, two No. 3 horizontal bars spaced at 8 in. on center over the height of the wall, and zero axial load.  Confinement of the No. 6 vertical bars at the ends of the wall was provided by No. 3 closed hoops.  All vertical reinforcement was developed in the footing and was continuous throughout the wall height

title: Field Testing with MK15 Shaker (2012 Re-Test)

description: This experiment involved the re-testing of the embankment using the NEES@UCLA MK15 eccentric mass shaker. The plan of shaking was similar to the previous year's shakes. Modifications to this experiment include repair of the timber shaker base, re-compaction of the embankment soils, and saturation of the dessicated peat layer at the site. Saturation of the peat involved building a berm around the embankment and then flooding the area with water from a nearby drainage ditch.

title: Cyclic Tests of Cantilever CMU Wall Specimen C8 at WSU

description: Wall Specimen C8 had a height-to-length aspect ratio of 2.0, four No. 6 vertical reinforcement bars located in the two outermost cells (jamb reinforcement) and one No. 4 vertical reinforcement bar located at mid-length, two No. 3 horizontal reinforcement bars spaced 8-in. on center, and an axial load of 67 kips.  The vertical reinforcement did not contain lap splices.
DOI: 10.4231/d3d795994
title: Shaker Testing with Atom Ant shaker

description: This experiment consisted of shaking the embankment with the Atom Ant shaker. The purpose of this experiment was to excite the embankment at frequencies higher than 5 Hz, which was the maximum used for the MK15 shaker. The shaker was simply placed on top of the shaker base and allowed to vertically excite the embankment.

title: Cyclic Tests of Cantilever CMU Wall Specimen C7 at WSU

description: Wall Specimen C7 had a height-to-length aspect ratio of 2.0, four No. 6 vertical reinforcement bars located in the two outermost cells (jamb reinforcement) and one No. 4 vertical reinforcement bar located at mid-length, two No. 3 horizontal reinforcement bars spaced 8-in. on center, and zero axial load.  The vertical reinforcement did not contain lap splices.

title: SASW Array

description: Peat soil was excited with the UCLA Atom Ant shaker, with accelerometers spaced at equal intervals. Interval lengths were 2, 4, 8, and 16 feet. Frequency of the Atom Ant shaker varied from 1 - 100 Hz. This helped us examine the influence of stiff dessicated peat over soft saturated peat.

title: Field Testing with MK-15 shaker

description: This experiment involved shaking the model test embankment with the NEES@UCLA MK15 eccentric mass shaker. Shake sequences included frequency sweep, step sweeps, and extended shaking at a given frequency. Accelerations of the embankment, underlying peat, and free field peat were measured, along with pore pressure response in the peat. Maximum accelerations at the embankment base reached 0.13g.

title: Items related to Arthur Wright, HMS Natal

description: I am submitting photos of some items passed down to me by my Grandmother many years ago. There is a photo of her brother, Arthur Wright, a sailor on HMS Natal; a postcard sent to my Grandmother from HMS Natal, dated 20/6/1915; an HMS Natal brooch and a Christmas greeting sent from HMS Natal, dated Christmas 1915.

On 30th December 1915 HMS Natal was lying in the Cromarty Firth. Just after 3.20pm violent explosions ripped through the ship. Within 5 minutes she capsized. No one ever established the exact number of fatalities, the figure ranges from 390 to 420. Mystery surrounds the loss of the HMS Natal. A mine laying U-boat was suspected but it was soon established that the damage came from an internal explosion. Officially the cause of the explosion was given as faulty cordite igniting a magazine, sabotage by German agents was suspected but never proved.

My Great Uncle Arthur was one of the unfortunate crewmen who lost his life. The Christmas greeting is very touching because this was the last contact between Arthur and my Grandmother - days later he was killed.

title: Sir Charles Wakefield Medal - Zeppelin L15

description: The commander of the L15 was Kapitanleutnant Joachim Breithaupt. On the 31st March 1916 (note date!), at 21.45 hours, the L15 received a direct hit from the AA gun at Purfleet, Essex.

The AA shell damaged four of the gas cells (numbers 9, 11, 12, and 16), and the L15 began to lose height - despite the crew chucking out everything, to lose weight.

While the L15 got closer to earth, it was attacked by 2Lt Alfred de Bathe Brandon RFC, 19 RA Sqn (Hainault Farm), in a BE 2C. Brandon climbed above the L15 and tried to destroy it by dropping incendiary bombs, and Ranken darts onto the top of the hull. He was not succesful.

But eventually the Zeppelin became too heavy to fly, and she came down in the sea off Margate at 00.15 (1st April) - close to the Kentish Knock lightship. One crew member, ObsigMt Willy Albrecht, was drowned. The rest of the crew (16 members in total) were rescued by the armed trawler Olivine (and then transferred to HMS Vulture).

This image is of a gold medal awarded by Sir Charles Wakefield, Lord Mayor of London. Originally he had promised a significant monetary reward for the first gun crew to shoot down a Zeppelin. However, in the event numerous gun crews put in a claim as being the one which hit the Zeppelin, all having fired on it. As a result some three hundred medals were issued to various members of the gun crews and searchlight batteries involved, the large money prize funding their manufacture in 8-carat gold.

The sodden, half-sunk remains of the L15 were then taken under tow but the airship broke up off Westgate and only small sections were hauled ashore, where parts were obviously liberated by souvenir hunters. Eventually the sea reclaimed what was left of the airship on the beach.

Other photos show the L-15 Zeppelin and photos of the captured crew from a copy of the Illustrated London News, dated Saturday, April 22 1916.
