#the basic steps involved in the earth work for building and high rise building which include raft and footing and many different important test involved to find the behaviour of soil and strength of soil on which the building will be constructed

Did you know the aggregates we mine create a solid foundation for many of the things we all use every day? 🪨 Roads. 🪨 Buildings. 🪨 Bridges. 🪨 Rail beds. 🪨 Landscapes. #ConstructionMaterials #Quarrying

The concrete condition of the bridge due to the salt that is poured on the surface of the streets during the cold seasons of the year.

Wildfire-resistant construction helps prevent damage to your home and buys valuable time for evacuation in the event of a fire. It includes the use of: ✔️ non-combustible materials such as metal or asphalt roofing. ✔️ design features such as protected soffits and enclosed gutters. We are working with industry experts to develop a guide for wildfire-resistant construction to be released this summer. 🏗️ Stay tuned for more info 🔜📢.

one of the most important parameters which could govern the whole bridge design is the construction methodology how it is going to be constructed that will lead the design criteria also the behavior of the bridge during construction till finish and also during service life also the equipment which will be used weight, capacities and operations will be considered specially lifting operations could govern the concrete member sizes for any of the bridges parts -as per site condition- design and construction of these special structures should be studied together

Thanks for sharing a great article promoting the importance of corporate memory and how this can be achieved in the digital age through data hosting and sharing platforms such as IAMS. Murphy Geospatial have supported Irish Rail throughout their journey to developing a systematic risk-based bridge scour inspection programme. Murphy Geospatial surveyors were on site the day after the bridge collapse to survey the extent of the damage using bathymetric survey either side of the bridge, and laser scanning technology that was emerging at the time. We also installed a digital monitoring system with bespoke tilt sensors to ensure the remaining spans were not also showing signs of unexpected movement. We assisted with setting out, and monitoring during the reconstruction phase in the months after the collapse. Since then, we have undertaken 2000+ bridge scour inspections as part of the Level 1 Assessment approach for bridges on 1-, 3- and 6-year inspection cycles. Our surveys have been key to identifying scour defects, monitoring any known scour defects, and enabling decisions for design of bridge scour countermeasures. We look forward to continuing to assist Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail in their digital transformation and the management of risk around their critical infrastructure assets.

The Konitsa Bridge, located in the town of Konitsa in the Epirus region of Greece, is the tallest and widest single-span stone arch bridge in the Balkans. It was built in 1870 and stretches over the Aoos River. For many years, the Konitsa Bridge was the only passage for the residents. A bell was hung under the bridge, at the top of the arch, to warn people during high winds that the bridge was unsafe to cross. The bridge is typical of the local stonemasons capabilities in working with stone and is an amazing tourist attraction forming part of the most amazing hikes in Greece. Some recent restrengthening works to the arch utilised reinforced concrete. Unfortunately, the steel was provided with minimal concrete cover. Did you know that carbonation can lead to corrosion in above-ground structures? The process of carbonation is almost unavoidable in untreated concrete exposed to the elements. Upon exposure to air, concrete initiates the process of carbonation. Carbon dioxide gradually permeates the concrete surface, reacting with moisture. This carbonation process leads to the loss of the alkaline barrier within the concrete and the corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement - consequently resulting in the expansion, cracking, and eventual weakening of the concrete. Carbonation within existing structures can be effectively prevented or managed.

Did you know that alternative materials like concrete, steel, and hemp can bolster a building's resilience against extreme weather? From hurricanes to wildfires, the right choice of materials is crucial. Dive deeper into this important topic and learn how to fortify your home against nature's forces.
