Due to a number of complications, the Washington Monument Society ran out of money and construction halted in 1854.

What are various design factors that influence energy saving in building construction?
I presume you mean that you want the completed building to save energy as opposed to the construction process. First and foremost is holding on to heat (or cold) that you're paying to create (you "pay" for firewood with your time, energy and the various costs associated with your chainsaw and splitting gear). Insulation and sealing inside against outside are the keys to this endeavor. Some of the most highly effective ways of pursuing these goals are "Earth Bermed/ Sod covered/ or Underground construction and the use of vestibules to prevent the wholesale loss of conditioned air when someone enters or leaves. Kind of like an "Air Lock" on a space shuttle (or an as-yet fictional Star Ship). For many folks, siting a house into a south facing slope is not practical. Other factors become more important (they're always important). There are limits to how much you should seal a house (especially in moist environments). Highly efficient appliances, though expensive, have usually paid for the cost difference somewhere from 3 to 10 times over the life of the appliance. In these days of greater energy costs, that number should be greater. Natural lighting can be a huge efficiency factor, as can be having properly calculated windows and overhangs on the East, South and West sides of your house. There are many good books on "Solarizing" your house plans. one I highly recommend (if you can find it is called "other Homes and Garbage" (a play on "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine title).
What advantages does concrete have over metals?
Some of the advantages of using glass as a building material are that it allows light into the building and that the thermal properties can help to maintain a more constant temperature inside the building.

thy are good because they are not heat conductors so they don't transfer the heat as fast as heat conductors does, if they would you wouldn't be able to stand on a tile where the sun shine is rising on it because it would get really hot, and in a quick time.

London, 28th October 2009 - A report published today reveals that spending on construction offers significant benefits to the UK economy. According to the report, Construction in the UK Economy: The Benefits of Investment, every £1 spent on construction leads to GDP growth of £2.84.

What time frame did the US make the first paved road?
Roads were formed in the following order:
- mud foot paths made by Native American hunting parties, usually along ridges up to end of 1700s
- mud tracks in towns and on people's properties, no wider than 1 wagon
- First Stone road in Eastern Pennsylvania - Forbes Road - was constructed in 1758 from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to the French Fort Duquesne
- hay or other grains and even clothing fabrics thrown on muddy tracks
- broken rocks laid on muddy tracks
- "reddog" laid on muddy tracks - reddog is formed from burning coal at high temperatures, creating a sturdy "rock" with red to maroon coloring - from 1800s to 1970s or longer
- after oil was drilled in wells (late 1800s), they could make petroleum products such as automobile tires, early 1900s
- They could heat tar and spray it on roads, then apply a layer of gravel. This method is still in use.
- From learning to heat tar, they could make mounds of heated, gooey asphalt which was manually shoved and applied to a road bed after grading. Rolling and compression was done manually. Asphalt started being used after WWII. But it was more expensive than heated tar liquid and gravel preparations.
- Cement poured roads came in with making highways and toll roads, about 1965-69. Example: I-76 in PA
- However, even today, they still use asphalt patching. Rural areas still use tar and gravel which is cheaper for townships to maintain their roads. Coal produced reddog for roadways lessened after coal works closed down.
- Typically, you can tell what roads are state maintained (cement with asphalt patches), versus town (asphalt paved), versus rural or township (tar and gavel, or asphalt as a special expenditure).

How do you build a Anderson shelter step by step?
An "Anderson shelter" was a corrugated iron hut built underground in people's gardens in the UK during WW2 as a defense against an air attack.
According to Wikipedia: "Anderson shelters were designed to accommodate up to six people. The main principle of protection was based on curved and straight galvanised corrugated steel panels. Six curved panels were bolted together at the top, so forming the main body of the shelter, three straight sheets on either side, and two more straight panels were fixed to each end, one containing the door-a total of fourteen panels."
To read more about this shelter -- as well as other modes of personal security during times of war -- see the Related Link.
