Learn from the Fern Hollow Bridge collapse: Minimal effort leads to maximum consequences. This tragic event underscores the importance of prioritizing quality and regular maintenance in the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors. Avoid catastrophic failures by choosing proactive solutions over cost-saving shortcuts. Choose excellence, choose AerdiA. #InfrastructureSafety #QualityOverShortcuts #EngineeringExcellence #AerdiA #DronesinAEC

🌉🚧 Innovative Solutions for Aging Bridges 🚧🌉 This week’s technical note highlights a study published in the Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction. The paper, titled “Streamlined Framework to Select Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcement to Balance Life-Cycle Costs and Ductility of Concrete Bridge Decks,” is authored by Matthew J. Gombeda, PhD, Zoe Lallas, and Estevan Rivera, Jr. The objective of this paper is to provide a design-oriented methodology that accounts for the effects of high-strength reinforcement, particularly reduced ductility, on structural safety decision-making. 🔗 Learn more about this research here: https://lnkd.in/efG53w3J 📄 Read the full paper in the Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction: https://lnkd.in/errViJnZ #BridgeDesign #CorrosionResistance #StructuralEngineering #LifeCycleCost #ConcreteBridges #CivilEngineering #Innovation #Infrastructure

Celebrating 30 Years of Structural Engineering Excellence in the Caribbean and beyond. The IStructE Caribbean Regional Group recently marked this milestone with a two-day conference in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, called “Past 30 Future 30: Preserving the Past. Preparing for the Future.” The event marked the history of the structural engineering profession across the Caribbean and globally, looking ahead to new opportunities and challenges, while also discussing topics such as design, resilience, technology, innovation, and sustainability. Shalini Jagnarine-Azan, IStructE Fellow, Board member, and Vice President for the Americas said “Our conference examined the future of the profession, alongside celebrating our past. Structural engineers, architects, builders, policy and decision makers all have an important collaborative role to play in the Caribbean community, especially now when the region and the world grapples with the challenges of climate change and what it means to be resilient, sustainable, and innovative.” Here’s to the next 30 years. #IStructE #StructuralEngineering #Caribbean #30YearsStrong

The three fundamental situations of #stability Reference: DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TUNNELS 

Before the advent of radar in World War II, the British utilized parabolic acoustic reflectors, dubbed "listening ears," to monitor incoming aircraft. These concrete sound reflectors, constructed along England's coastline during the early days of the war, remain visible landmarks to this day. #FunFact #Cement #Concrete #Construction #Contractors #DiamondCompanies #Architecture #Infrastructure #ConstructionIndustry #ConcreteSolutions #ConcreteConstruction #Masonry #ConstructionTrends #ProjectManagement #ConstructionInnovation #DiamondCompanies
