Another fantastic 4K time lapse showing how Earthcam can document your infrastructure and transportation projects. Reach out to me about how we can help on your next project!

Yes STFU stands for what you think. Acoustic is being requested more often, lighting is more about function and atmosphere than looks and price points.

Sydney Opera House 50 years on I have long been fascinated by the Sydney Opera House (SOH) and how it was one of the first (arguably the first) building to make major use of Finite Element Analysis. When the call went out to the The Institution of Structural Engineers history group members for blog articles on past supreme award winners, I knew that it was my opportunity to have a deep dive into its digital design. The title, 50 years on, refers only to its completion: the computer analysis started about 15 years earlier, at the end of the 1950s. The computers then were orders of magnitude slower and larger than those of today, filling most of the basement in Arup's London office, but they enabled the analysis of the (otherwise almost) impossible forms. In addition, I had not realised that the SOH was perhaps the first example of parametric design and digital workflows. Today everyone focuses on the concrete shells, but the glass walls suspended between them we perhaps more complicated. The intent was only to write 500 words, but after 2000 words there is still a lot more that could be said. Maybe a follow up is needed… https://lnkd.in/e9d3HcsM #structuralengineering #finiteelementanalysis #engineeringexcellence #wearearup Oasys

Continuing the discussion on seismic design, in Japan, stringent regulations require measures to prevent ceiling collapse during earthquakes. These ceilings are connected to the slabs using threaded rods and reinforced with high-strength diagonal elements to counteract horizontal seismic forces. Specifically, the traditional system (shown on the left) consists of a double framework of profiles with snap clips and metallic connections, fixed with screws. DAIKEN has improved this system (detail on the right) by using coplanar T-profiles and a male-female joint, enhancing both seismic resistance and construction speed. In Italy, on the other hand, the regulations delegate the responsibility to designers, stating that these secondary elements must be “designed to withstand only vertical loads and to accommodate the movements of the structure without losing load-bearing capacity” (NTC 2018, chapter 7.2.3). In the next post, we’ll explore the systems commonly used in Italy that make ceilings earthquake-resistant. The images are taken from DAIKEN's official website. #SeismicDesign #EarthquakeEngineering #StructuralEngineering #Construction #Architecture #CeilingDesign #BuildingSafety #JapaneseEngineering #ItalianDesign #SeismicResistance #DAIKEN #BuildingRegulations #EngineeringInnovation #ConstructionTechnology #ResilientDesign

Full Steam Ahead into Sydney's Past At Artefact, we’re helping to better understand Sydney’s industrial heritage right down to the nuts and bolts of White Bay’s historic locomotive turntable! Working with Acciona Ferrovial Joint Venture and Sydney Metro our team undertook archaeological excavation at the site of Sydney Metro West’s The Bays station in Rozelle. The project was a journey through time, from WWII-era warehouses to an early 20th-century railway system, and a coal loader that fuelled Sydney’s growth. Watch our 3D video that brings a 70-foot 1940s locomotive turntable back to life and dive into the full story with our case study https://lnkd.in/gbSHStqc Video produced by Artefact Heritage and Environment and Art of Multimedia with 3D photogrammetric models developed by Guy Hazel.

Experience Newcomen Bank in 3D – A Step Towards Conservation 🏛️ We are excited to unveil the fully interactive 3D model of Newcomen Bank, an iconic Georgian gem in Dublin, designed by the esteemed Thomas Ivory. This architectural masterpiece, known for its Neo-Classical exterior and grand portico, is now digitally preserved for future generations. 🔍 What you can explore: Intricate architectural details captured through aerial photogrammetry The building's unique facades as viewed from above A digital representation of this historic treasure derived from aerial imagery 🌍 Why this matters:  This 3D model, one of the outputs of PCA Geo-Surveyors Ltd. modular building survey approach, is a useful tool for heritage conservation. By capturing heritage in stunning detail, we help ensure its preservation, provide a unique visual record, offer an intuitive way to investigate these spaces, and support effective management of their conservation. 💻 Dive into the model and witness the beauty of Newcomen Bank here: https://lnkd.in/ew8Vr2b9 #HeritagePreservation #3DModeling #Conservation #GeorgianArchitecture #CulturalHeritage #DigitalTwins #BuildingConservation #NewcomenBank #VirtualTour #DigitalHeritage #RealityCapture #CulturalLandscapes

For a long time, the St. Petersburg TV tower was the tallest and lightest engineering structure in Europe: 316 m 27 cm high and 1,263 tons in weight, which is 4 meters higher and 7 times lighter than the Eiffel Tower. Then the height changed several times depending on which antenna was on top. The St. Petersburg TV tower is the most elegant of the towers. Several transmission towers in Russia and abroad were built according to its patterns. Its design - simple, but at the same time delicate, elegant - was developed by a whole group of specialists, whose chief architect, as they said, "heard the music of the city, and never sang out of tune." In St. Petersburg, they are very jealous of their skyline and it is difficult to successfully "fit" a very tall structure into the established aristocratic historical center. The tower's design is simple and logical: the foundation is seven regular hexagonal pyramids. The tower is held together by nine rigid platforms. In the middle is a shaft for high-speed elevators. At a height of 200 meters there is a three-story structure with transparent walls - a "glass". Inside there is equipment, at the top there is an observation deck. Previously, until the mid-90s, excursions were taken there. Now we enjoy its new evening lighting, stylish, in the colors of the Russian flag. What else to see in St. Petersburg? https://lnkd.in/exydeBNb. #russia #stpetersburg #petersburg #travel #sight #sights #dmc #agent #b2b #tv
