Wide Span Roof Design and Construction
In this post we will try to examine various design and construction considerations for wide span roofs.
In this post we will try to examine various design and construction considerations for wide span roofs.
In this post we will try to summarize design of shallow foundations and highlight some critical points.
In this post we will look at various aspects of un-anchored retaining structures analysis and design. The anchored systems will be covered in hopefully another post.
In this post we will discuss various aspects when designing and analyzing Reinforced Concrete (RC) moment frames and behavior of structural members.
In this post we will look at seismic strengthening methods of concrete buildings.
In this post we will cover various good practices to follow during subsurface investigation, which forms the basis when preparing geotechnical reports.
Grouting is one of the most common ground improvement methods, which can be applied in various ways for different situations. In this post we will look at grouting methods, try to explain when to chose which method and certain common issues that may be encountered.
This is a very useful method, which is also allowed by AASHTO or bridges and ACI 318 when designing concrete bridge and building structures respectively. By making use of this method, the stresses especially in members such as deep beams can be more realistically represented. The struts here represent the imaginary compression members of a […]
It is not possible to describe or even summarize foundation design principles in a single post. So first of all, we refer the readers to other posts we made in Geotechnical engineering and foundations. Below we did not distinguish shallow or deep foundations. We will only list some major points to consider below: Bearing capacity […]
The three main types of tunneling are Cut and cover method Bored tunneling Immersed Tunneling Let’s take a look at each briefly… Cut and cover method: This is a frequently used method when the required tunnel excavation is not very deep (i.e. up to around 80 feet or so). The method involves excavating a trench […]
