Florida Senate Bill 154 (and Senate Bill 4-D prior) require #condominium and cooperative associations to conduct Structural Milestone Inspections and Structural Integrity Reserve Studies. These reviews ensure that condo and co-op buildings are structurally safe and funded for future repairs. This regulation is applicable for buildings three stories or higher. Learn more about Structural Milestone Inspections (SMIs), Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS), deadlines for inspections, and how Rimkus can support compliance with these regulations: https://bit.ly/4ezc1qx #BuildingExperts #BuildingSafety #StructuralEngineering #architecture #ArchitecturalDesign #HOA #inspection #condos #SMI #SIRS #SB4D

Coupling beam means combination of two beams. In this blog article, I will describe about RCC Coupling Beam. #construction #rcc #civilengineering https://lnkd.in/d4s7MMeG

Structural design of bridges has evolved over the last century, transitioning from allowable stress design to load and resistance factor design. Read about the current state of durability and service-life design of bridges at https://bit.ly/4atCFif

🌉🚧 Innovative Solutions for Aging Bridges 🚧🌉 This week’s technical note highlights a study published in the Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction. The paper, titled “Streamlined Framework to Select Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcement to Balance Life-Cycle Costs and Ductility of Concrete Bridge Decks,” is authored by Matthew J. Gombeda, PhD, Zoe Lallas, and Estevan Rivera, Jr. The objective of this paper is to provide a design-oriented methodology that accounts for the effects of high-strength reinforcement, particularly reduced ductility, on structural safety decision-making. 🔗 Learn more about this research here: https://lnkd.in/efG53w3J 📄 Read the full paper in the Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction: https://lnkd.in/errViJnZ #BridgeDesign #CorrosionResistance #StructuralEngineering #LifeCycleCost #ConcreteBridges #CivilEngineering #Innovation #Infrastructure

IABSE Task Group (TG) Spotlight: TG 1.2 - Project Updates! Task Group 1.2 on Structures Design of Bridges against Fire Hazards has the following goal: Conduct two webinars in 2024/2025 where practitioners and academics from different countries will explain all the details of structural fire design applied to bridges: from risk analysis to detailed case studies. These webinars will be an important step forward towards the publication of a set of "Guidelines for the Design of Bridges vis-à-vis fire hazards" in the form of a SED book which is foreseen for 2027.

Structural resilience: The pre-stressing of concrete is a game-changer, elevating the durability of pre-tensioned beam bridges. 🌉💡 This technique enhances resistance to cracking and fortifies bridges to handle dynamic loads with ease. Let's discuss the engineering marvels that contribute to creating robust and enduring infrastructure.

Supported by contributing authors Eric Dues, P.E., S.E., and Lawrence Kirchner, the new American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) and American Institute of Steel Construction "Guidelines for the Design of Steel Railroad Bridges for Constructability and Fabrication" detail #bridge best practices, innovative #construction techniques, and sustainability in #BridgeDesign and fabrication.     Read the entire publication 👇!    #RailroadEngineering #StructuralEngineering #BridgeConstruction #RailTransportation #GannettFlemingExcellence 

Did you know that many bridge projects require an analysis of the structure during the construction phase since the construction loads may control the design or the means and methods affect the locked-in forces and geometry? This webinar will investigate the strength and stability of the structure during construction, and you will gain insights into different strategies tailored for complex structures.
