Watching a climbing tech install an AC unit on the side of a skyscraper is a true testament to the power of modern engineering. The expansion anchor lies at the core of this high-stakes task, revolutionizing how heavy loads are secured to concrete and masonry. When the bolt tightens, the anchor expands within the drilled hole, providing a rock-solid hold crucial for engineers and technicians daily. What sets expansion anchors apart is their remarkable ability to offer consistent, high load-bearing performance, even in the most demanding environments. The modern expansion anchor we rely on today can be traced back to John Rawlings, a British engineer who introduced the Rawlbolt in the 1930s. Rawlings' invention was a game-changer, offering a secure fastening solution for masonry walls. The Rawlbolt's innovative design, expanding upon tightening, marked a significant milestone in construction and engineering, paving the way for the diverse applications of expansion anchors we see today. #Engineering #Construction #Innovation

Betonwerk Kühne gets set for the future with a new universal manhole riser production system   At its site in the Bavarian town of Geretsried, concrete manufacturer Betonwerk Kühne GmbH & Co. KG mainly produces precast concrete parts for civil engineering. The company has exacting standards when it comes to product quality, reliability, and punctuality. Guaranteeing that these three promises to customers are always kept takes excellent organization, motivated and capable staff, and—last but not least—cutting-edge production facilities. Ongoing investments in new, modern machines and production processes make it possible to comply with emissions legislation, optimize production workflows, reduce waste, and use materials more economically. Following the overhaul of the concrete mixing plant, the latest investment project involved replacing the existing production equipment for manhole risers and manhole cones, a 1989 Magic model from Schlüsselbauer. In spite of its robust design, the unit was beginning to show its age, and the outlay associated with ongoing servicing work could no longer be justified. However, since Kühne were still extremely satisfied with this Schlüsselbauer equipment, they once again opted for this tried-and-tested production concept and a modern Magic 1501 is now taking the place of the old machine.   Read the full press release from the latest CPi.   #Kühne #cpiworldwide #Schluesselbauer #Magic1501 #Schachtring #manhole #concrete #drycast #precast #drainage

Great example of the complexity of wood detailing. Special joints such as these need the attention of both the structural engineer and framer to ensure a thorough load path. The structure is only as strong as its weakest link.

1. Left lang (LL) – The direction of wires in the lay and lays in the rope is left, the arrangement is designated sS 2. Right lang (RL) – The direction of wires in the lay and lays in the rope is right, the arrangement is designated zZ 3. Left regular (LR) – The direction of wires in the lay is right and the lays in the rope is left, the arrangement is designated zS 4. Right regular (RR) – The direction of wires in the lay is left and the lays in the rope is right, the arrangement is designated sZ The four types of direction methods have their unique advantages. However, this is not significantly relevant to our purchasing decision. We only need to understand what type we are purchasing and where it will be used. JULISLING will recommend the appropriate wire rope products for you. #Construction #Engineering #WireRope #IndustrialEquipment #Rigging #Julisling

🔧 Construction Insights: 3 Key Issues With This Installation 1. 🛠️ Girder Bearing: The girder-to-tie beam bearing area is insufficient. Consult the NDS (National Design Standard for Wood Construction) for maximum bearing stress values. Consider mitering the tie beams as a solution.     2. 🛠️ Tie-Down Clips: The 3-member girder lacks sufficient tie-down clips. Remember, the total rafter loads (gravity & uplift) impact the girder design & connections, especially during windy conditions. Prioritize proper clip installation.     3. 🛠️ Rafters & Lateral Forces: Ensure every rafter is designed to handle maximum gravity, uplift, & lateral forces. Nature doesn’t discriminate, and neither should our construction practices. 🔗 Connectors Matter: Explore code-approved connectors from manufacturers like Simpson Strong-Tie for robust girder & mid-rafter connections for situations like this using the building product search directory EngineeringPlans.com. 🔍 Bonus Find: Check end distances for bolts—NDS specifies edge & end requirements for bolts and screws (both perpendicular and parallel to wood grain).

"It is always difficult when you have to change concepts during construction" explains Martin Romberg in his keynote at #SteelBridgesSymposium2024, yet that is exactly what the Rhine Leverkusen Bridge team had to do when contractors were changed mid-way during construction. The original bridge had to be replaced as it was unable to cope with growing traffic volumes. A decision to redirect heavy traffic to the outer sides of the bridge exacerbated wear on the structure and led to fatigue issues. The 2nd contractor established that the cable system had to be redesigned as the initial cables failed fatigue lab tests several times. Special adapter plates incorporated into the towers enabled the new design; As the super and sub structures were already in place, a key aim was to make the change without any welding on site to preserve the existing corrosion protection. The first of two twin structures was closed in October 2023. As the bridge had to open at the start of 2024, waterproofing and asphalt installation had to happen in the winter period despite adverse weather conditions. A complex schedule of simultaneous surveys helped complete the final project stages on time. Construction of the 2nd structure is expected to finish by 2028. #bridgeengineering ##bridgedesign #cablestayedbridges #steel

"Danley offers an alternative method of design for concrete hardstandings that removes the steel reinforcement from the mid-panel and puts it at the joints in the form of tapered plate dowels. This provides stability at the joints, which minimises spalling and reduces out of joint panel cracks, while strategically controlling known load transfer issues in order to maintain the structural integrity of the concrete slabs. Tolerances at the joint are forgiving too, thanks to the tapered design of Danley® Dowels. Longer life cycle: Pavements and concrete floors which last longer thanks to a superior standard of construction Minimises common issues: Controls the natural characteristics of concrete. Less joint restraint, faulting, spalling, curling, and shrinking. Optimised joint stability: Less than 0.25mm deflection with lift truck traffic, even with small hard wheel" #CostEffectiveGreen #EngineeringCommunity #EngineeringSolutions https://brnw.ch/21wFD59
