The new 10,938 S.F. administration building for Lincoln Elementary School District 156 is well underway at 912 Burnham Avenue in Calumet City. Mild weather has helped to move the project along as Henry Bros. Co. crews have already placed the structural steel support beams. Completion is scheduled for early fall 2024.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' "Stadium of the Future" is a go, as the franchise and city approved an agreement on a $1.4 billion project that will keep the Jaguars in Jacksonville for "decades to come."
The proposal will see each side contribute $625 million to the project and Jacksonville would chip in another $150 million to get EverBank Stadium ready for construction beginning in 2026. The team will also not include any new taxes to pay for the rebuild.

Devastating News: Collapse of Baltimore's Innovative #FrancisScottKey#Bridge
I'm heartbroken by the news of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. The Key Bridge was a true marvel of #engineering, boasting a unique #hybrid#design.
1. It wasn't just another bridge: The bridge employed a combination of #cantilever truss and steel arch elements, making it remarkably strong and efficient. Having cantilever segments, allowed for #construction without mid-span supports in the water, minimizing environmental impact and disruption to maritime traffic.
2. Second-longest of its kind: At its completion in 1977, the Key Bridge's main span of 1,200 feet was the second-longest continuous truss bridge in the world, a testament to American engineering ingenuity.
3. Built for a busy waterway: The bridge's 185-foot vertical clearance ensured safe passage for large ships beneath, highlighting the foresight of the designers in accommodating Baltimore's bustling harbor traffic.
This innovative design made the Key Bridge a landmark and a testament to pushing the boundaries of bridge engineering. Understanding the cause of this collapse is not just about this specific bridge, but about ensuring the safety of countless similar structures across the world.
My thoughts are with the first responders and everyone affected by this tragedy. #Baltimore#BridgeCollapse#StructuralEngineering
Basic Facts Regarding NJ's Structural Integrity Bill:
(1) It only applies to residential condominium and cooperative buildings. It does not apply to single family dwellings, commercial or apartment buildings.
(2) It only applies to concrete, masonry, steel or hybrid structure buildings. It does not apply to frame-built construction unless the frame-built is on a podium deck.
There will be lots of educational opportunities and discussion regarding the new law. I am going to be doing my best in 2024 to keep it short, simple and factual. Look out for some short videos and quick posts so that everyone is on the same page when it comes to structural integrity and reserves.

Segments from the Past! A look into our construction archive finds winter construction photos of the new I-76 Allegheny River Bridge in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Daily winter temperatures in nearby Pittsburgh averaged 20oF during the construction of this project.
Balanced cantilever construction began from pier tables cast in place atop twin wall piers to provide a platform for launching the traveling forms. One side of the pier table was 16’ long while the other side was 24’ long. The asymmetry kept the cantilever balanced within a half segment, minimizing out-of-balance loads on the piers. Constant 16’ long segment lengths were used for ease of construction. Year-round cantilever construction utilized four traveling forms for the superstructure to meet the project schedule.
The I-76 Allegheny River Bridge is the first cast-in-place concrete segmental bridge in Pennsylvania and features a 532’ main span across the Allegheny River. FIGG designed this bridge for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and provided construction engineering and inspection support to the Owner.
