Paul Parfitt, PE, SE from Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. will be presenting two our co-authored presentations at the American Society of Civil Engineers Forensics Conference in Seattle next week. One presentation is about post-tensioning assessment of bridges. The other presentation is about post-tensioning assessment of buildings. One interesting aspect of the building presentation is a comparison of Augusto Sasan's strand condition rating system (published by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute) with assembly tension test results. If you aren’t familiar with this rating system, a link is below. #https://lnkd.in/ejrDDBrg https://lnkd.in/en22q2za

#QuestionForGroup In a task of designing a deep foundation for the bridge abutment with an eccentric load of more than 21,000 kN, I have encountered a major challenge which I want to address it to you my fellow Civil Engineers and Consulting Engineers. After the Geotechnical Investigation by SPT, the boring was up to a depth of 25.0m below the ground. The field results were as follows; ground water level was located at 1.50m below the ground level, clayey sand from 0.0m to 1.50m, fat clay from 1.50m to 4.0m, clayey sand from 4.0m to 7.0m, and fat clay from 7.0m to 25.0m. The major part of the subsoil was covered with soft to medium stiff fat clay. I have adopted a foundation of 18 piles of 20.0m length from about 4 metres below the base of the abutment with 1.2m diameter underream. However, the pile load capacity was below the maximum load including the self-weight of the pile. What could be a better solution for this case without adding a large number of piles? #civilengineering #piledesign #pileconstruction #deepfoundations #geotechnicalengineering #geotechnicalinvestigations

Thanks to Prof. Mario D. Llanes-Tizoc and Prof. Alfredo Reyes-Salazar for giving me the opportunity to collaborate with them in one of their latest publications titled “Rayleigh Damping vs. Modal Damping Matrix Superposition for Steel Frames and Evaluation of Higher-Mode Contribution”. Such a technical paper is published in the Iranian Journal of Science and Technology, Transactions of Civil Engineering. Understanding damping phenomena in buildings is a fundamental part in the design of structures!

I’m eager to inteiduce my last publication in Innovative Infrastructure Solutions having doi: https://lnkd.in/dXVGegix In this paper we showed that in the structural reevaluating of long-term operating concrete arch dams, the creep effect is pretty effective and also, in this regard, the well known international codes’ recommendations don’t work correctly.

We're already halfway through the 12 Blogs of Christmas countdown! 🎉🎅🎄 Today, we bring to you the 6th Blog of Christmas on "California Bearing Ratio Tests" 👷♀️ Did you know the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test helps measure soil strength and stiffness for road construction? It was first developed by the California Division of Highways back in the 1930s, and it’s still super important today! For instance, in Britain, BS 1377-9 uses CBR tests to check the strength of subgrade and subbase materials in civil engineering. 👉 Click on the link below to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gnGmKr2f #christmas #blogs #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering
