One of the main challenges of digitisation in any company, and particularly in those in the AEC sector, is to achieve a clear definition of the objectives of the transformation project and how these changes will create value for the company. Read more
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
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
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
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
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
Any part of a body of water and the manmade structures surrounding it that sufficiently shelters a vessel from wind, waves, and currents, enabling safe anchorage or the discharge and loading of cargo and passengers. A bridge is a structure built to Read more
Response spectrum analysis is a method to estimate the structural response to short, nondeterministic, transient dynamic events. Examples of such events are earthquakes and shocks. Since the exact time history of the load is not known, it is difficult to Read more
STAAD Foundation Advanced provides you with a streamlined workflow through its integration with STAAD.Pro or as a stand-alone application. You can design virtually any type of foundation, from basic to the most complex. Easily model complex or simple footings, such Read more
One dimensional (1D) site response analysis is one of the most commonly performed types of analysis in geotechnical earthquake engineering, yet recent studies have suggested thatsurprisingly few sites are modeled well by 1D analysis. This presentation will describe recent research Read more
In this webinar we will see how engineers can use non-destructive testing methods to assess structural details, structural integrity, and accurately estimate mechanical and durability characteristics of certain building materials. NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) refers to an array of inspection techniques Read more
In this webinar, Dr. Matasovic will explain general principles and methods for design of landfill and Superfund sites covers. He will explain how to properly account for seismic, seepage, and landfill gas-induced forces, and how to develop interface testing requirements Read more
Within just a year, the career graph of most working-class professionals has taken interesting turns. Due to the presence and prominence of a particular virus, career choices are witnessing a new normal shift towards more sustainable options. This trend has trickled Read more
