Structural engineering

in Structural Engineering comes from my interest in Structures after I joined undergraduate studies in Civil Engineering at Kathmandu University. I’d found my interest growing already in Civil Engineering when I was in high school. I was following works of my brother while he was studying Civil engineering. I could understand and draw Plan and sections before I was got enrolled in undergraduate studies. During my undergraduate studies, I particularly enjoyed the subjects related to structural Engineering

encountered the bridge in a textbook for my first engineering class. Knowing that the professor, Mr. Paul Davids, was a tough teacher, I asked him for the textbook so I could study and get ready for the class over the summer. Just arrived from Belize, I was determined to succeed. In class we learned about forces on simple members and then we put the members together to form a simple truss. At this point I had almost decided that structural engineering was the career for

Prior to attending University as a Civil Engineering student, there were plenty of natural disasters, including earthquakes, flooding, etc., that stole human lives and left destruction and havoc for the survivors in my country, not only due to the strength of those disasters, but simply due to the weakness of our structures, such as our buildings, bridges, roads, etc. I was obsessed with that immense toll in our country that was due to a simple negligence and lack of knowledge. Consequently, I consulted

that simple. Likewise, after four years of undergraduate studies in civil engineering, it seems to me I have barely scratched its surface. A graduate school will allow me to delve deep and let me explore the finer aspects of the field. Furthermore, this is crucial in terms of achieving my long-term goal of pursuing a PhD to carve out a career in industrial research. I am applying to pursue a course in Structural Engineering because it provides an ideal background to broaden my perspective and give

life: a construction site. I was astonished by the mammoth construction work and rumbling sound of the construction machineries. Secondly, having my father as Professor of Civil Engineering at College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG) and grandfather a Public Works Department (PWD) Contractor inspired me to field of civil engineering. I started playing with reals construction material and equipment while other kids of my age would spend time on Lego toys and building blocks which in turn turned into a passion

Structural Engineering and Ethical Decision Making INTRODUCTION Currently in the state of California, designers employed in the building industry follow the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC 97). The UBC 97 is intended to be a minimum requirement for both engineers and architects to follow in the design of any structural building or bridge. There are exceptions to the use of the UBC; local jurisdictions have the right to adopt other codes for there use. For instances some counties or cities

I am a young Civil Engineering graduate from Covenant University with a lifelong objective to be a resourceful Structural/Environmental Engineer, becoming highly efficient and an innovative team player among sound Environmental/Structural Professionals in achieving organizational goals considering economy, environment and factor of safety with precision and

Early in the year of 1976, a corporation known as Crown Center Redevelopment started a project to design and construct a Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri. The firm in charge of the structural design of the hotel was a corporation from Texas called Gillum-Colaco, Incorporated or G.C.E. International Inc. Throughout the following year, a team of architects and engineers worked together to formulate an appropriate design for the hotel. The hotel specifications were set and the project to

The four main Structural Subsystems were as such: Exterior columns taking vertical loads, Interior core Columns which carried vertical loads through the core and protected lift shafts, Composite Truss system which allowed for larger areas of floor space to be created between
