Construction is currently progressing on the multi-million dollar expansion of the Baltimore Washington Medical Center. Formally known as North Arundel Hospital, the facility opened in 1967 as a 107-bed hospital serving the local community. The current renovations, including a new Inpatient Tower, will more than double the size and capacity of the original facility.

Columns for the Inpatient Tower were located adjacent to existing column footings. The original design called for the existing column spread footings to be incorporated in to a reinforced concrete mat that would support the existing columns as well as the proposed columns. Existing concrete spread footings were to be enlarged to form a large reinforced concrete mat encompassing three existing footings and support for two of the new tower columns. Because of the depth of the existing footings, the concrete mat would step up from a maximum depth of 9 feet below the existing floor slab (adjacent to the Cafeteria) to a shallow depth of 1.5 feet below the slab at the other end. Construction of the mat required an excavation of approximately 10 feet deep and nearly 20 feet on either side of the proposed footings.

Two major problems associated with the removal of such a massive amount of the existing floor slab. First, the footings were located deep within the existing structure, making spoil removal difficult and expensive. Second, with the required lay-back area, the hospital would be forced to close the existing Cafeteria forcing the administration to provide other forms of food service for employees and patients. The decision was made that the cafeteria must remain open therefore, the general contractor on the project reviewed alternatives to the proposed spread footings.

To avoid over-loading the existing footings, new column loads had to be transferred from floor level to at least a depth equal to the existing footings. Helical piers were an obvious solution given they create no spoils when installed; the shafts are segmented, allowing installation in the existing structure with a floor-to-floor height of approximately 10 feet; soil borings indicated firm bearing material approximately 15-20 feet below the existing footings; access to the project area was blocked for larger equipment and compressors due to the interior space.

The column loads to be supported presented the biggest challenge associated with this project. Drawings called for new column loadings of 150,000 lbs. compression.

Given the limited access, the helical piers were designed to be installed with a hand-held drive head with the power pack situated on the low roof adjacent to the footing locations. Therefore, the ultimate capacity of the piers was limited to 60,000 lbs. based on 6,000 ft-lbs. drive head assigned to the project.

The design solution for the footings was to provide many helical piers with a working capacity of 30,000 lbs. each. The new column load was added to the existing column load to create one new larger load to be supported. The required footing extension was sized based on the 30,000 lbs. capacities of the helical piers combined with the soil bearing beneath the existing footing. The new section was doweled to the existing footing to provide a combined response to the new column loading and the existing column loading. The location of the new column and the fact the existing footing was located 8 inches below the existing floor slab, dictated that some form of a combined footing was necessary for this column. The number and spacing of the helical piers was calculated to provide a similar anticipated settlement as the existing spread footing to avoid any potential differential movement.

Existing footings in the second new tower column were located 44 inches below the existing floor slab. This additional depth allowed the integration of a reinforced concrete grade beam to act as a transfer beam for the new column load. Support pads were designed with helical piers at the bearing portions of the transfer beam creating a sort of ?saddle bag? shaped foundation. The project was completed on time and within budget.

How many times have you wondered if our economy is affected by all the jobs that have gone to India? When you call a service center whether it is to call for a tow truck or to check your credit card balance and the accent on the phone is definitely not familiar, the problem become even more evident. And while we don’t begrudge anybody getting and keeping a job, it is easy to wish those jobs were being filled by our citizens rather than someone in India.

The other side of the equation is that the many jobs that have gone overseas have helped the indian economy significantly. It doesn’t take much when watching the news to notice that many countries overseas including India, Pakistan and Vietnam have benefited tremendously from the move by our companies to “export” jobs somewhere that is more economical for them. But when we see other countries benefiting from jobs that used to be held down here, it could make you paranoid that something is going on that is not good for us.

There really is no question that the world economy has changed and that the shift of jobs is a big part of that. It is really easy to blame corporate executives for trying to cut corners by eliminating jobs here and giving them to other countries. This is a dilemma because any business makes decisions that is good for the business and this move is no doubt the result of business analysis, not some insidious attempt to hurt our country. At the same time, we want either the corporate big shots or our government to do something about the move of jobs so we don’t feel the pinch in our own economic well being.

Actually, the long term effect of this move of jobs on the Indian economy are not entirely well known. The appeal of moving jobs there is that the local workers are fairly well educated and able to handle somewhat technical work such as help desk or technical support. But because India is an emerging force in the economic world, the wages that our companies pay over there are low so they get a lot of “bang for their buck”.

The problem with how the currency of our economy is doing overseas doesn’t help things either. However, economic factors change. We are seeing our currency improve in value and that is hurting companies who moved jobs overseas. Also, as workers in India get used to the steady income, they are demanding higher pay which is reducing the savings gained by moving jobs there in the first place.

This gives us some reason for hope because as the Indian economy and the economic conditions of emerging nations continues to rise, that will eventually tip the balance in our favor and those jobs may come home where they belong. It is always hard to wait for that and you never know what is going to happen but the old principle of “what goes around, comes around” may play in our economic favor in the long run.

With the Olympics holding our attention so dramatically, those opening exercises were a demonstration of a very strong china economy. And if you have paid attention to the how things have been going around the world economically lately, it is easy to see that China has been on the move increasing in economic power at a phenomenal rate. So its worth our while to pay attention to what is happening in China because it affects us here a great deal.

In fact, what goes on in China economically can have a huge impact on the world economy as well. The obvious example is oil prices. As China has become more economically active, they have begun to consume more oil and that demand has affected prices around the world. We have felt that pinch dramatically here at home so much so that this economic change has become an important issue to our presidential candidates.

When the ripple effect of the China economy can get the attention of the most powerful people on the planet, that is something worth noting. And the reach of the economic fingers of China is so vast that we probably are not aware how much of our daily lives are part of China’s expansion. From credit cards to mortgage ownership to buying up many of our public buildings and infrastructure, China has reached into our country and around the world with their economic power.

But it is a mistake to isolate china because the changes are really part of something that is going on in the world economy as well. In a way, it is a victory of our economic system because we are seeing many countries around the world from the Middle East to India to China and even Russia beginning to adopt principles of capitalism that have always been hallmarks of the way markets work in a free economic system. And as those countries realize the benefits that capitalism can do for them, they begin to flex their economic muscle as we have seen China do especially in the last decade.

The chances are that we are going to continue to see a lot of change both in the China economy and in how their society works as a result of the rise in living standards that capitalism has brought them. In fact, as China realizes a real “middle class”, they may see both social and political pressures that the Communist government won’t like. That will be when, as they say, “the rubber will hit the road.”

The best thing we can do is to see the changes in the world economy in the light of real opportunity more so than as something to be unhappy about. We are the ones who are well experienced in capitalism and our entrepreneurs are the envy of the world. If we give our business people and our workers a chance to get into these new economic markets and really compete, we will show off what we are capable of doing. Then we will capture some of that business back that we may have lost in the last ten years. The world learned capitalism from us. So let’s show them how its done.
