A ship’s ladder. Used where every bit of space counts. One World Trade Center in New York cost about $4 billion to build. By contrast, the floating USS Gerald Ford cost $13 billion. Shipbuilders understand space like no other trade does because it’s so expensive. And not just expensive in dollars. Space taken up by… Read More Type of staircases take up the least space in a building and easiest to build
A borderless pool has water overflowing around the entire perimeter. The water is usually captured in a gutter and then sent to a tank. The tank is called a surge tank. A pump moves the water from the tank back to the pool. infinity pool have become quite popular not only on rooftops, but also… Read More vanishing edge pool or infinity pool
Let’s understand the role of a structural engineer. Basically structural engineering deals with the analysis and design of structures. A Structure can be defined as an assembly of various components that act together under “stress” conditions. Bridges, highways, buildings, transmission towers, trusses, water tanks, offshore structures, are some common structures in today. The basic purpose… Read More ROLE OF A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER
Welcome to my blog. This is a blog made to share every theoretical and practical aspects of engineering from basics to advance. Here you will be able to understand the basis of engineering, the evolution of engineering, theoretical background and how we are using engineering in the field in today. Engineers provide solutions to world.… Read More BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY AS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER
Formulation of Spring Element Basically you know what is a spring. To model a spring in FEM it is best to use one dimensional spring element with 2 nodes as shown below. The element type is therefore is Linear Spring. 1 and 2 are the node numbersU1 is translation in x direction at node 1.U2… Read More Finite Element Analysis- Spring Element
Introduction Seismic analysis is a subset of structural analysis and is the calculation of response of a building structure to earthquake. In usual case normal buildings less than 3 stories doesn’t require earthquake analysis (except japan). Engineer know that everything has a natural frequency. A building also has a natural frequency and this is belong… Read More Earthquake/Seismic Analysis
A building is set out in order to clearly define the outline of the excavation and the centre line of the walls, so that construction can be carried out exactly according to the plan. The centre line method of setting out is generally preferred and adopted. 1. From the plan (fig 1), the centre line… Read More Procedure for Setting Out a Building Plan on Ground
