Vermont State University’s Post

Excited to kick off a thrilling new chapter in my research of concrete structures! I'm starting work on the project "Remaining fatigue life assessment of bridge decks based upon a numerical-experimental SYSCOM SYStem-COmponent-Material-based approach." #BridgeDecks #FatigueAssessment

Report Publication 📰 : We are proud to announce that Professor Alan OConnor, Head of the Trinity College Dublin School of Engineering and Chairholder of Structural Engineering, has co-authored a pivotal report published by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC). The "Guidance on the Design for Structural Robustness" report sets a new benchmark for advancing safer and more resilient structures across Europe and beyond. This comprehensive document brings together cutting-edge research, key design strategies, and innovative solutions to address the critical importance of robustness in building structures. The report offers insights into mitigating disproportionate failures and tackling challenges posed by hazards such as ageing, seismic events, and more. Professor O'Connor’s contribution to this landmark report reflects Trinity’s commitment to pioneering research and shaping the future of engineering standards globally.

Do you know anyone who teaches or is involved with engineering students? Over $50,000 of scholarships are available for historically underrecognized students who are on a civil-structural engineering track, and we need to get this information to them! Applications are currently open! NCSEA #structuralengineering #diversityinstem #representationmatters

Our largest diversity scholarship cycle is now open for applications. 🎉 Thanks to the generosity of many SE firms and SEAs, we will distribute over $60,000 this year! Please help us out by sharing the application with structural engineering students. #dei #diversityequityinclusion #deischolarship #diversityscholarship #diversityinstructuralengineering #diversityinengineering #structuralengineering #futureofstructuralengineering #engineering #futureengineers #aec #aecindustry

Students in California studying structural engineering! 2 weeks ago, we officially opened applications for the Steve Tipping Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship was established by the Tipping family, and offers the recipient a $3,500 scholarship towards their education with an opportunity to participate in an externship program at Tipping, a 40 person firm located in Berkeley California. Emphasis will be placed on those candidates demonstrating financial need and promise as future leaders. Applications close on Monday March 15th. I hope you'll consider applying (if you're eligible!!), and that you have fun while preparing your response! Here's the link to the application https://lnkd.in/gFiZB8mF Note that there are 9 other firms and/or organizations that have set up scholarships with the NCSEA Foundation. These Diversity in Structural Engineering scholarships all award funds to students traditionally underrepresented in structural engineering (including but not limited to Black/African Americans, Native/Indigenous Americans, Hispanics/Latinos or Spanish, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and other people of color, those with disabilities, veterans and LGBTQIA+).

🌊🌊🌊Happy #FlumeFriday! We do love trawling our archives of physical models on a Friday afternoon! Going back to 2006, here is a great example of why 3D wave basin models can be one of the most complicated tools in the coastal engineer’s kit. A lot of careful planning is required to bring together model design and construction, analysis of coastal processes, consideration of scale effects, boundary conditions, electronics and instrumentation to enable accurate measurements.

I'm excited to encourage all researchers in the field of structural engineering to attend the 1st International Conference on Engineering Structures in Guangzhou, China, from November 8–11, 2024. One of the highlights of this conference is Mini Symposium 15: Advanced Concepts for Uncertainty Quantification and Reliability Analysis in Structural Dynamics. Organized by esteemed experts Michael Beer (Leibniz Universität Hannover), Wang-Ji Yan (University of Macau), and Jian-Bing Chen (Tongji University), this symposium promises to be an invaluable platform for discussing cutting-edge approaches to solving reliability problems in structural dynamics. Reliability analysis is crucial for ensuring the safety, performance, and sustainability of structures. The inherent complexities, uncertainties, and limited information associated with these structures pose significant challenges in accurately assessing their reliability. This mini symposium will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art and recent advancements in uncertainty quantification and reliability analysis. It will focus on approaches with high practical merit, particularly those that address the challenges posed by complex structures, incomplete uncertainties, and limited information. Key topics to be covered include: Uncertainty modeling of dynamic actions (wave, earthquake, and wind, etc.) Analytical and sampling approaches Physics-based and data-driven techniques Frequentist and Bayesian approaches Artificial intelligence-aided methods Probabilistic, interval, and hybrid uncertainty quantification and propagation Damage and failure mechanics of structures involving uncertainty Time-dependent reliability analysis methods Bayesian updating for reliability analysis Practical applications of UQ and reliability analysis in real-world civil engineering Don't miss this opportunity to engage with fellow researchers and practitioners, exchange ideas, and explore advanced concepts in structural engineering. Mark your calendars and join us in Guangzhou!
