➡ Debunking the Myth: Precast Concrete limits design flexibility ⬅ In reality, Precast Concrete offers extensive customization variations. Whether you’re planning a unique architectural feature or need specific structural elements, you should definitelly consider Precast Concrete an option.  Here are a few examples of Precast Concrete elements: 👉🏻 Architectural Panels Custom-designed panels can be made to mimic textures and patterns, including stone, brick, and other finishes.  👉🏻 Curved and Angled Walls Precast Concrete can be shaped into complex curves and angles, ideal for modern, fluid architectural designs.  👉🏻 Load-Bearing Columns and Beams These structural elements can be precisely engineered to support significant loads, providing strength and stability.  👉🏻 Precast Floors and Roof Slabs Solid, hollow-core, or double-T slabs can be used to create floor and roof systems with varying load capacities and spans.  👉🏻 Custom Shapes From intricate decorative elements to unique structural components like geometric forms and arches, precast concrete can be molded into virtually any shape. Is there is reason you woundn´t go for Precast Concrete in your project? Share with us your thoughts 💬 #petrufconsulting #precast #concrete #structural #civil #engineering #mmc MMC Ireland 

LinkedIn Post 1: "Drywall is just boring white walls" 🤔 WRONG. After 8 years in the industry, I can tell you it's an art form. Last week, I visited a project where we curved ceiling & Drywall into a stunning spiral staircase. The architect couldn't believe it wasn't custom-made concrete. What most people don't know: • Modern drywall can be soundproof 🤫 • It can mimic any texture • Some variants are actually bullet-resistant • It can be bent to create architectural masterpieces The future of construction isn't just concrete and steel. What's your biggest misconception about building materials? #Construction #Innovation #ArchitecturalDesign

Big shout out to all of our #architectural colleagues who love a big cantilever. It’s actually relatively simple to achieve features like this utilising steel structures which provide the perfect blend of stiffness to weight ratio. Just be sure to provide the engineer with sufficient depth for the members. We are currently working with Anotherkind Architects on a new leisure building at the Priory Centre, Worksop. A feature of the building is a 9m span, projecting roof canopy on the corner of the building, creating an impressive and welcoming focal point to the design. A steel truss structure has been incorporated within the soffit and once clad will provide the desired effect. The truss continues into the adjacent span to reduce bending in the supporting column. When adopting solutions like this it is important to consider the use of non slip connections so that real world deflections are as analysed. Also remember to think carefully about the errection sequence and any temporary works requirements early. In this case, erection in the direction away from the vertical braced bay will ensure stability ie. Erect braced bay, erect backspan, erect cantilever truss. Solutions like this are also possible in concrete, however long term deflections owing to creep will be critical, and achievable spans will be significantly less for equivalent structural depth due to increased material weight and much reduced stiffness of material. Temporary works will also be much more onerous. It’s all about selecting the right material and structural arrangement. A simple, yet effective solution to deliver the architectural vision.

Concrete is susceptible to damage due to a number of factors. It is important that concrete structures are regularily inspected to ensure the structure remains safe. Exposed rebar or rust marks on concrete are an indicator that you should have a professional engineer review your structure. https://buff.ly/49AZIGs #engineering #design #architecture #construction #interiordesign #design #building #contractor #architecturaldesign #realestate #brockville #kingston #ottawa #cornwall #smithsfalls #gananoque #1000islands #easternontario #engineer #designer #ontario #build #diy #exterior #render #CAD #sketchup #landscape #surveying

In architecture and structural engineering, a space frame or space structure (3D truss) is a rigid, lightweight, truss-like structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can be used to span large areas with few interior supports. Like the truss, a space frame is strong because of the inherent rigidity of the triangle; flexing loads (bending moments) are transmitted as tension and compression loads along the length of each strut. First the frame is woven on the foundation and then it is taken up by cranes as it is shown and then the columns are placed in their position while the space frame is held by cranes.

Project Update Here’s a sneak peek at our ongoing structural design project in Florida! The structure will feature: Combination of Wood and Steel Trusses Steel Frame Facade with wood texture finishes Reinforced Concrete Masonry Walls Reinforced Concrete Foundations Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this vision to life. #structuralengineering #StructuralDesign #FloridaProject #EngineeringExcellence #TeamJMVC

| Sabzevar Pars Steel Gateway |   The organization system of a design that is supposed to act as an entrance of a complex, and intermediate space, where the users do not take part permanently and are passing through it like a covered pedestrian way, the form-functional system of this organization system should have specific character, because in addition to its main function as a connection space; it is an interface between a complex and the urban space visually and perceptually. It is often considered as a criterion for recognizing the architectural and social value and identity of that complex. So, the entrance is not only a connection space but also as a space complementary function. The character of this shared section is a responsible system to its functions at the same time has formal, identity and symbolic points for Sabzevar Pars steel complex. The architecture form of the project is like a shell with several folds which have triangular section. The different proportions and sizes of these folds, create form with various quality features in their lower space, that provide the possibility of the desired functions in a structural way. The organization system of the project is a dissected plan system that these sections are created with an interior landscape. Based on this, the plan has organized as an integrated part for entry and control hall, and two other parts on both sides of landscape to accommodate pre-entry and post-entry functions. . . . #architecture #architect #architects #architectural #architecturaldesign #archilovers #archdaily #architizer #dezeen #arts #designer #designers #design #factory #gatewaydesign #factorygatewaydesign #plan #site #revit #model #3D #render #onsideoffice #linkedin #iran
