Traditionally, designers of temporary structures for use in construction had little guidance binding on their designs. Some owners, particularly infrastructure operators, provided standards and guidelines that permitted increased allowable stresses for certain temporary conditions. However, this practice came from a time when codes were much simpler and, in some respects, more conservative than they are now. Should increased allowable stresses still be used in the design of temporary structures, or is this practice anachronistic? #structuralengineering #temporaryworks #structures #SiteStructural #geostructural #engineering #design #construction #riskmanagement #codes

Ever wondered what keeps iconic bridges standing strong for more than a century? It's no magic trick—it’s the result of advanced geotechnical and civil engineering practices. The longevity of a bridge starts with its foundation. Geotechnical engineers play a crucial role in assessing the ground conditions and ensuring a stable base. Techniques like deep foundation systems, pile driving, and soil stabilization are key to making sure these massive structures stand firm, even in challenging environments. But it's not just about what's below ground. Above the surface, the use of innovative materials and smart design principles adds to the durability. High-performance concrete, weather-resistant steel, and modern composite materials help bridges withstand the elements and heavy usage over time. Take the Golden Gate Bridge, for example. This iconic structure has been standing tall since 1937, thanks to its robust engineering design and regular maintenance. Innovations like corrosion-resistant paint and seismic retrofitting have been crucial in extending its lifespan. Then there’s the Brooklyn Bridge, which opened in 1883 and still carries thousands of vehicles and pedestrians daily. Its enduring strength is due to the meticulous work of engineers who used revolutionary techniques for their time, like caissons for underwater foundation work. Regular inspections and proactive repairs are also a big part of the equation. Ongoing maintenance ensures that any potential issues are spotted and addressed before they become major problems. In essence, the secret to a bridge lasting over a hundred years lies in a combination of solid foundations, advanced materials, innovative design, and continuous upkeep. It’s a testament to the power of engineering and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Next time you drive over a historic bridge, take a moment to appreciate the incredible engineering that keeps it standing strong. #EngineeringMarvels #GeotechnicalEngineering #CivilEngineering #BridgeDesign #InfrastructureInnovation

As we carry out the design of tunnels and bridges, it's important to note that the design of both infrastructure types is crucial for transportation networks. Bridges and tunnels facilitate the movement of people, goods, and services and therefore require careful consideration. For bridges, load distribution is key to ensure that the bridge can evenly distribute loads across its structure. Proper foundation design is also crucial for the stability of the entire bridge. In long-span bridges, aerodynamic design is crucial to prevent oscillations and potential collapse. Tunnel design requires a geotechnical analysis to understand the geological conditions and design appropriate support systems. Proper ventilation systems are essential to manage air quality and temperature. Ensuring the tunnel is protected from water ingress is also crucial to prevent any compromise to structural integrity. The design of bridges and tunnels is a multidisciplinary effort involving civil engineering, architecture, environmental science, and urban planning. #bridgedesign #tunneldesign #civil3d #revit #bim #autocad #railway #highway

What do structural engineers actually do? Here's my simple answer for non-structural engineers. Is understanding what engineers do incredibly complicated? No! Its easy to understand. [I’ll add a wee caveat, the calculations and skills learnt at university and used daily (University of Canterbury for me 🎓) are complex but what we’re trying to achieve is simple. We want to make sure buildings are safe.] Structural engineers make buildings stand up. We focus on two things: We figure out how small to make structural elements (like beams, columns, walls, braces), And we check the building is constructed like we planned. We don't over-design, nor do we make the structural elements too small. We make buildings safe and able to resist the forces the Building Code outlines. These forces can be big! 📈 How big are the forces on a building? Lets give it some context, your typical home in Canterbury is designed to resist: - 160+ km/h winds on your walls, - 1/2+ m of snow on your roof, or - 7+ magnitude earthquake shaking your house. Could a builder make a building stand up? Yes, but what if we have a cautious builder? Then we'll have really big beams and columns, that’s expensive. And what if we have a builder fixated on their bottom line? The building construction might have shortcuts which can make it unsafe. These risks increase as buildings grow in size and complexity. We make building stay up cost-effectively for you! 🏘 #engineering #structuralengineer #structuralengineering
