In the bustling Port of Genoa, Italy, a newly built control tower manages maritime traffic - but high winds posed a major challenge, threatening its stability and safety.🏗️ Enter University of Washington Civil and Environmental Engineering professor Paolo Calvi, who was tasked with stabilizing the tower quickly and without altering the landmark’s signature slender design. Calvi implemented active mass dampers (AMDs), a technology that counters vibrations by detecting motion and generating stabilizing forces almost instantly. “Seeing the system in action during the tests was extremely rewarding. It showed how engineering and technology can come together to solve real-world problems,” says Cavli. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3CFDPvj

The robust frame provides the necessary strength, durability, and resilience required for the demanding operational conditions of a metro system. 💪 The cross beam is a fundamental part of the frame. It has the crucial role of supporting bending, torsional loads, and their complex combination during the operational condition of a #railwayvehicle. #Research #StructuralOptimization #TopologicalOptimization #Engineering #Design #Innovation

Is it possible to build a 3,700 metre long #bridge for rail and cars over a 1,300 metre deep sea, taking into account the vertical and horizontal loads on the structure caused by its own weight, traffic, wind, water currents and ship impact? Challenge accepted! At the Institute of Structural Engineering at Technische Universität Wien, a design for a floating #PontoonBridge featuring a submerged cable net (acting as an artificial seabed) was developed to contirbute to an effective solution. In the new design buoyancy elements and suspension cables of the pontoon bridge are interconnected by supporting components, allowing the immersion depth of the suspension cables to be adjusted in relation to the water surface. The connecting cables between the suspension lines are arranged in a crisscross or lattice pattern to effectively distribute uneven forces, such as gusts of wind or concentrated currents. A key innovation of this concept is the integration of additional pontoons for the main cables of the artificial seabed. This design significantly reduces rope sag, thus simplifying the planning and construction work.

China's Liaozi Grand Bridge is the final link along the Chengkai Expressway that connects the Qinba region to the rest of the county. Located in Liaozi Township, Chengkou County, the bridge crosses the Qianhe River in the Daba Mountains Gorge area. The 330.8-meter-long large-span arch bridge has a main deck length of 252 meters, with its highest point 186 meters - equivalent to a 60-story building - above the river surface. The mountainous and rugged terrain presented significant obstacles to transporting the multiple #bridge components and the machinery necessary for its #construction. These challenges required a comprehensive application of #BIM-based digital workflows. China Railway Changjiang Transport Design Group Co., Ltd. is mainly responsible for digital design and 3D construction simulation. The team used Bentley applications to generate a #realitymesh of the existing site from drone-captured images and create a 3D model of the bridge design. This allowed for meticulous planning and detailed construction simulations, ensuring project viability and worker safety. A construction process was adopted for the main arch that combines vertical and horizontal rotation, and the arch rib was constructed in a horizontal assembly on-site with support brackets. This helped minimize damage to existing vegetation in the bridge site area, reduce mountain excavation, and protect the original ecological environment. Using Bentley Systems solutions helped to reduce the project's environmental footprint and laid the foundation for developing a digital twin for digital bridge maintenance and operations. Implementing Bentley parametric modeling shortened the design time by 300 hours, and the construction period by 55 days, saving CNY 2.2 million in costs. The Liaozi Grand Bridge aims to reduce travel times by one-third and promote industrial and economic development to revitalize the rural mountainous area.
