Following an engineers specifications is essential as they ensure a structure is adequately secure and flexible. Flexibility in structures mitigates tension caused by seismic pressure. The combination of steel beams and wood work in this photo demonstrates the complexity of structural engineering and construction.
A beautifully detailed explanation of dam construction.

When we design structures, especially attention must be paid to the correct definition of the anchorage, as well as the local reinforcements to concrete supports. We don’t know for sure what really led the roof to collapse, but it seems to be a combination of reasons: ❎ Concrete supports were not adequately designed. ❎ Steel trusses seems to be very “slim” to provide support to the roof.

If a structure is weak due to negligence of the people concerned during design and construction phase, there is a way to strengthen it- RETROFITTING. Yes, we will do it with the knowledge of Structural Engineering 😎 Make Structure Strong Again- MSSA! #Construction #Retrofitting #Yaqeen #YEL #YaqeenEngineering #Structure

Very satisfying breakdown of concrete planning & placements of the Hoover Dam. If you're not yet obsessed with the Hoover Dam then you need to watch this. The concrete cooling system alone is a masterpiece of engineering.

For design of interface between steel and concrete structures, it is fundamental to take into account possible collapse patterns associated with both material. The figure (manual published by ABECE) represents the tension concrete cone breakout for single anchors. When the connection has a group of anchors subjected to tension forces, the engineers must consider the associated negative effects. Did you find this post helpful?

Underpinning is a type of specialty construction with unique risks that can threaten the success of a project. Most underpinning systems are deceptively simple on paper. However, in practice, the design of an underpinning system must account for the behavior of the existing structure, the sequence of construction and the time-dependent and sometimes complex load and support conditions. Knowledge and experience with best practices are crucial for designers and constructors, alike. #structuralengineering #geotechnicalengineering #constructionengineering #civilengingeering #structural #foundation #geostructural #SiteStructural #engineering #design #construction #underpinning #buildings
