Compaction Density

The OA-11 dam on the Eastmain River in the James Bay Region of northern Quebec was designed without conventional cofferdams. The river section of the dam was constructed by end-dumping and dozer pushing of granular fill and achieving closure and diversion of the river through a spillway located in a rock abutment on the south bank.The fill was then compacted by using the vibroflotation method. The fill thickness varied from 4.5 to 15 m, the compacted area being 68 000 m2 while the volume was about 725 000 m3.This paper gives the properties of the fill, the equipment used for compaction, the control method used to assure compliance with specifications, and the results of the compaction programme. Keywords: dam construction, compaction, density, vibroflotation, equipment.

History Of

In 1939, at the height of her stardom, the actress Shanta Apte went on a spectacular hunger strike in protest against her employers at Prabhat Studios in Poona, India. The following year, Apte wrote a harsh polemic against the extractive nature of the film industry. In Jaau Mi Cinemaat? (Should I Join the Movies?, 1940), she highlighted the durational depletion of the human body that is specific to acting work. This article interrogates these two unprecedented cultural events—a strike and a book—opening them up toward a history of embodiment as production experience. It embeds Apte's emphasis on exhaustion within contemporaneous debates on female stardom, industrial fatigue, and the status of cinema as work. Reading Apte's remarkable activism as theory from the South helps us rethink the meanings of embodiment, labor, materiality, inequality, resistance, and human-object relations in cinema.
