This photo has two parts. The first part shows a cross section of timber placed in a steel tube, which in turn is embedded in concrete. The point of impact is marked on the right hand side of the timber. Small sheets of neoprene are wedged on the sides of the timber. The second part shows the underside of the first photo. This side shows the section of timber splintered and jagged, broken. A piece of neoprene has been torn off from its initial setting.
