How to use the roofing harness to ensure complete safety? Description: A roofing harness is must to consider in case you have to carry out some roof restoration or repair project. The roof safety system will keep you in place to avoid falls and accidents. An investment on the roof brackets or the ceiling harness can ensure greater safety while you work on the roofs. Roof work is dangerous as you need to climb and carry out the task. In case, the roof is steep and you have to spend major portion

Abdul Baki December 5, 2014 1) Abstract / Introduction: Structural researchers have realized the beam-column joint’s effects and consequences on the stability and durability of structures since the last century. Many buildings were collapsed under exposure to earthquakes; in most cases the main reason for its collapse is the local failure in beam-column joints. Therefore, many attempts have been done by structural researchers all over the world to overcome these crises by improving the

In a garden, the goal is to keep it clean of weeds. If you let the weeds grow, they can quite possibly take over the whole garden. Explosive demolition is the weed puller of buildings. It is key in keeping whole communities up to date. It may be hard to think that using explosives can actually make an area safer, but these professionals do it all of the time. If a building is not structurally sound, there is the chance that it can collapse at any time. This is why explosive demolition is so

Incremental Dynamic Analyses of Steel Moment Resisting Frames with Superelastic Viscous Dampers Baikuntha Silwal1, Osman E. Ozbulut1, Robert J. Michael2 1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA 2Department of Mechanical Engineering, Gannon University, Erie, Pennsylvania, USA ABSTRACT This study aims to evaluate the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames upgraded with shape memory alloy (SMA)-based self-centering viscous

report is to discuss the collapse of Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, in what is to date the worst structural engineering failure. The failure caused significant losses of lives, (1129 lives), over 2500 non-fatal injuries and five garment industries lost their machinery, and the building was entirely destroyed as well. The report also demonstrates that the collapse of Rana Plaza was due to primary causes of engineering failures. These include; human factors like negligence and poor review of safety protocol

highly susceptible to rapid degradation with collapse a likely result. Those mechanisms needed to be suppressed, an aim which could again be accomplished by appropriate detailing. The key to successful modern earthquake engineering design lies therefore in the detailing of the structural elements so that desirable post-elastic mechanisms are identified and promoted while the formation of undesirable response modes are precluded. Desirable mechanisms are those which are sufficiently strong to resist

learn about various populations, their cultures and struggles. I want be a part of future developments that will help improve people's lives. I love to learn and share ideas with other great thinkers. As I am finishing my bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington, I finally reached a milestone in my life where I have options; and those options are in the form of opportunities. My family immigrated to the United States from Vietnam ten years ago

• Damping Effects of the Passive Control Devices on Structural Vibration Control: TMD, TLC and TLCD for Varying Total Masses Three passive vibration control devices that consist of Tuned Mass Damper, Tuned Liquid Damper and Tuned Liquid Column Damper are experimentally investigated in this study. A scaled three-story steel building structure coupled with each device is employed to evaluate the damping effect of each controller. This research experimentally presents that the mass and damping of passive

The site covers 40% equals 402 square meters. It consists 7 types of unit (A, A1, B, B1, C, D, E). The project has two level car park underground

Minnesota Road Constructions If you lived in Minnesota the worst struggle will be road constructions. Many roads are closed due to unfinished constructions. Because of the I-35 bridge collapse in 2007, which caused many deaths and injuries, the state is focusing on building stronger and safer roads. Every day the communities will face the traffic with delay, road closed, and car accidents. The road constructions had been going on for the whole summer, fall, and winter season. Minnesota
