Dress, law and naked truth : a cultural study of fashion and form
No full textWhy are civil authorities in so-called liberal democracies affronted by public nudity and the Islamic full-face 'veil'? Why is law and civil order so closely associated with robes, gowns, suits, wigs and uniforms? Why is law so concerned with the 'evident' and the need for justice to be 'seen' to be done? Why do we dress and obey dress codes at all? In this, the first ever study devoted to the many deep cultural connections between dress and law, the author addresses these questions and more. His responses flow from the radical thesis that 'law is dress and dress is law'. Engaging with sources from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare, Carlyle, Dickens and Damien Hirst, Professor Watt draws a revealing history of dress and civil order and offers challenging conclusions about the nature of truth and the potential for individuals to fit within the forms of civil life

Longevity and Service Life Considerations for Vehicle Timber Bridges in New Zealand
No full textTimber is a sustainable material, being a renewable resource with a low carbon footprint. From a civil and transportation engineering perspective, vehicle timber bridges represent a unique intersection of sustainability and engineering, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional materials like concrete and steel. However, the adoption of such infrastructure in New Zealand has been hindered by concerns over durability, service life, and maintenance requirements. This research seeks to address these challenges by developing a framework for the inspection, and maintenance of timber bridges, tailored to the environmental and operational conditions specific to New Zealand. The study identifies key deterioration mechanisms specific to New Zealand, including mechanical wear, biological decay, and environmental weathering, and proposes innovative inspection techniques, including nondestructive, semi-destructive methods, and advanced remote monitoring systems. A structured inspection schedule is outlined to enhance the performance of timber bridges. By combining international practices and adapting them to the local context, this research aims to establish a foundational document that supports the wider adoption of timber as a sustainable and durable material for vehicle bridges in New Zealand. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of more resilient infrastructure while aligning with global sustainability goals
