Parasol Problem

Glorious day today with high pressure over the UK.   The sun-deck (see earlier posts) has been a real success - mainly in the evenings.   Today though I gave it a try in the morning to read the Sunday paper in the sunshine.   Though September the sun was simply too hot so I put up a parasol.   All was well for a while, then the wind got up a bit.

Here is the parasol looking really rather swish, but look at that flag.   What had been a flat calm was a gentle breeze and I had failed to take account of the air flow over the tower.   Even a gentle breeze goes upwards when it hits the tower . . . . and the parasol took off, landing gently and without damage at the back of the tower.   Station supervisor Paul Brown witnessed the spectacle and shouted across, "Eh up Mark, tha's lost thi brolly"

    Structural issues may also arise from the pressure exerted by saturated soil around foundation walls. The hydrostatic pressure (water pressure) can fail a wall by causing it to bow or lean inward.
