As the tunnels internationally and particularly in Europe become older, the matter of inspection, maintenance and repair adopts an ever increasing degree of importance. Generally Basements normally fail much earlier than the design service life. The failures discussed will include: • Read more
Groundwater control can be provided with dewatering, ground improvement, or the installation of barriers in soil, rock, or below-grade structures to restrict the movement of water. Keller provides the optimal solution to tackle each difficult groundwater control challenge. Be able Read more
Suction bucket foundations are more cost effective than conventional piles because of their ease of installation, higher load capacities, and lower environmental impact. In this webinar, we will show you how the new SACS-PLAXIS Suction Bucket feature provides an efficient Read more
Tall and code exceeding buildings require particular attention regarding their seismic analysis and design. The conventionally used analysis and design methods are applicable only to regular and code compliant buildings. In case of a non-conventional building, the performance-based design approach is Read more
This Soil stabilization is a process by which a soils physical property are transformed to provide long-term permanent strength gains. Stabilization is accomplished by increasing the shear strength and the overall bearing capacity of a soil. Once stabilized, a solid Read more
Revit is BIM software widely used by architects, engineers, and contractors to create a unified model that all disciplines and trades can use to complete their work. Autodesk Revit was created to support BIM and not to replace BIM. Learning how to use Revit Read more
In the past 20 years, the construction industry has fallen behind in digitalization, especially in the use of data and analytics or artificial intelligence. During Bill’s time as chief digital officer of GE and Daryl’s 25 years of industrial design, Read more
In this inaugural SECED Young Members Chartership event, experiences and advice for those on their route to chartership working in civil/structural dynamics-related fields will be discussed. A panel of 6 chartered engineers working in dynamics, with a range of experience, Read more
Indian cities are facing unprecedented growth and change across all levels of urban settlements. Our developmental choices right now will guide the future of Urban India. What is the role of Urban Design and Planning in the midst of the Read more
BIM has managed to revolutionize the building construction industry by taking a new angle towards improvising our structures and design dialogues with its finesse. This webinar leads to a Roadmap for BIM Implementation as per the changing norms in the Read more
This Webinar will help Participants to understand applicability of Solid Waste Management Rules 2016 and to understand Challenges in implementation of Waste Management Plan in cities. A comprehensive case study in India will be discussed, which will help in improving Read more
RoadEng is a site and road design software package. It works either as an add-on to other civil design software or as a standalone system. It includes functions for data collection, terrain modelling, contouring, volumes, profiles, sections, and road design. Read more
Statistically speaking, productivity gains in construction have lagged behind other industries. Globally, construction labor-productivity growth has averaged only 1 percent a year over the past two decades, according to research firm McKinsey, compared with growth of 2.8 percent for the Read more
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the holistic process of creating and managing information for a built asset. Based on an intelligent model and enabled by a cloud platform, BIM integrates structured, multi-disciplinary data to produce a digital representation of an Read more
Structural engineering is the heart and backbone of all structures small or large. Structural engineers play an important role in all stages of design and construction to ensure that the structure can be built with durability and stability. Design entails the creative endeavours as well as analysis. Structural design is Read more
Rehabilitation of bridges to extend their life and bring them up to current codes is a goal for many bridge owners but it can be expensive. Bridge microclimate and aerodynamic studies can inform a rehabilitation plan and result in more Read more
Reinforced concrete is a composite material. Its structural performance is realised only when concrete and steel act in unison during the service life of the structure. The compressive and tensile loads are carried by concrete and steel respectively. Steel protects Read more
Water Pipeline Condition Assessment provides water utilities with an appropriate path for determining the structural status of an individual pipeline or pipeline system. Such condition assessments form a critical piece of an effective asset management program by establishing a baseline to Read more
Construction of large-diameter drainage tunnels requires stringent line and grade tunnel alignment control in order to carry sewer and storm water in municipal areas. Tunnel boring machine (TBM) has been extensively applied to improve tunneling productivity and safety performances on Read more
Transport engineering is a very diverse profile. Not all transport engineers are employed for the same kind of tasks. While some are largely employed to plan inter-city road transport systems, others are expected to design transport facilities for railways, airways, Read more
Geotechnical centrifuge modeling is a technique for testing physical scale models of geotechnical engineering systems such as natural and man-made slopes and earth retaining structures and building or bridge foundations. The scale model is typically constructed in the laboratory and then loaded onto the end Read more
