Mbiri ya Damu

Damuli lidapangidwa ndi katswiri wazomangamanga / mainjiniya, Earle Andrews - yemwe adapitiliza kupanga / kumanga zida zaluso zodziwika bwino za 20th Century, monga United Nations Complex, Jones Beach State Park, Henry Hudson Parkway, ndi ena ambiri.

Bane's Mill Dam pa Big Walker Creek ku White Gate, Virginia, idapangidwa ndikumangidwa mu 1926. Ndizitsanzo zabwino kwambiri m'dzikolo, ngati si chitsanzo chokha, cha dambo la Modernist mphero lopangidwa ndi mlengi wotsogola wa Modernist wa malo odziwika bwino aku America. .

Zolemba za Bane's Mill Dam monga ntchito ya W. Earle Andrews zikuphatikizanso kalata ya 1952 pomwe Andrews amachitcha "chimodzi mwazopambana zanga zoyambilira" ndi zojambula za Andrews zomwe zidasaina za damulo, zomwe zikuwonetsedwa mu kanema komanso pafayilo. ndi Virginia Department of Historic Resources.

Damuli limamangidwa ndi konkriti ya hydraulic yapamwamba kwambiri yopangidwira kuti itsekere madzi. Imafanana ndi dziwe laling'ono, lachigayo lakumidzi kuposa dambo lalikulu la ntchito zapagulu lomwe lasinthidwa kuti ligwirizane ndi momwe zinalili - zochititsa chidwi, chifukwa Andrews posachedwa apangidwa ndi Robert Moses kuti amange ntchito zazikulu zapagulu.

Malinga ndi zojambula za Andrews, damuli lili ndi nkhope yowongoka yokwera mamita asanu ndi anayi m'munsi ndi mainchesi 20 pamwamba pake. Ambiri opanga madamu akumidzi akadayima ndi mphero iyi, koma mapangidwe a Andrews adafuna kusamala: nkhopeyo imathandizidwa ndi matako asanu ndi atatu. Pokhala motalikirana mamita 28, m’lifupi mwake mamita awiri mpaka anayi, m’lifupi mwake mamita asanu ndi atatu, ndipo m’munsi mwake muli mapazi asanu ndi atatu, amalola kuti damulo lisapirire kupanikizika kwakukulu kwa madzi m’munsi mwake. Andrews adamanganso damulo pamalo opindika olowera kumtunda. Kupindika koteroko kunkaganiziridwa kuti kunyamula katundu m'mbali, kulola mphamvu ya madzi obwera kufinya chipilalacho, kulimbikitsa mapangidwewo.

Ponena za Damu la Bane's Mill, m'kalata yake ya 1952, Andrews akufotokoza za momwe amagwiritsira ntchito "njanji yopapatiza ya mphero zopangira ndodo zolimbitsa" zomwe, iye akutero, kutali ndi damu la "orthodox"; Damu anapitiriza structural umphumphu zikusonyeza kupambana Andrews njira.

Ngakhale kuti madamu a nthawi zina anali osagwira ntchito - makoma omwe anangoyimitsa kapena kusuntha madzi - zatsopano za Andrews zinapangitsa Bane's Mill Dam kukhala chida chopangidwa ndi kuyesedwa kuti chigwiritse ntchito bwino kwambiri kayendedwe ka kayendedwe kake. Madzi otsekedwa anali ndi njira zitatu: kutulutsa madzi odutsa m'munsi mwa damu, pamwamba pa madzi, ndi kupita ku mphero kuti aziyendetsa gristmill ndi macheka. Zonse zinayenera kulinganizidwa bwino kuti zitheke bwino kwambiri.

Mwina chithunzithunzi chabwino kwambiri cha kuphatikizika kwa Andrews kwa mawonekedwe owoneka bwino ndi magwiridwe antchito abwino ndi "masitepe" makumi anayi pamwamba pa damu, omwe adakhala ngati miyala yolowera kudamu komanso ngati njira yowonera ogwiritsa ntchito.

Mapangidwe a Andrews anathandiza ogwira ntchito kulamulira mokwanira kayendedwe ka madzi kuti masitepewa akhale ouma; ogwira ntchito ankatha kuwoloka damulo wapansi kuti ayendetse zipata za madzi osefukira m’litali mwake popanda kunyowetsa mapazi awo. Pakati pa masitepewa, kutalika kwa madzi ochulukirapo kunaloledwa kusinthasintha kuposa masentimita awiri pakati pa pamwamba pa masitepe ndi pamwamba pa damu.

Bane's Mill Dam ili pamalo okwana maekala 38 omwe amadziwika kuti Waterside ndipo adakhazikika ndi Banes cha m'ma 1791. Malowa ndi a Creed Bane Taylor, VI, ndi mkazi wake Jeanne-Marie Garon Taylor.

Madalaivala pa Old Mill Dam Road, kuchokera ku Route 42 kumwera chakumadzulo kwa Pearisburg, Virginia, amatha kuona Bane's Mill Dam ndikumva mathithi ake pafupifupi mamita 75 kuchokera pamsewu.
