16.01.2022 Why we perform structural inspections with a drone
08.01.2022 The Difference Between Civil and Structural Engineering We often get asked if we do civil engineering, and I've learned to ask a few questions before saying "No". You see, we're structural engineers, and we're different to civil engineers, but there's a language around these words that needs clarification.... Often, the enquirer refers to 'civil' as concrete footings, slabs and the like - so it's lucky I don't just say no and hang up, because yes, we do that sort of "civil" engineering! So what's the difference? At university, we graduate as civil engineers, having completed, among many other things, courses in structural engineering. Structural engineering is a discipline of civil engineering. So that's the first difference - all structural engineers are civil engineers, but not all civil engineers are structural engineers! In the workforce, we call ourselves civil engineers or structural engineers, depending on our area of expertise. Civil engineers are involved in different projects and different aspects of projects to those that structural engineers are involved in. I tend to define the civil engineer as being responsible for the design of infrastructure projects - roads, railways, water and wastewater systems, dams, bridges etc., whereas the structural engineer is involved specifically in the design of structures associated with these projects - the bridge structure in a road system, the dam wall and draw-off tower in a reservoir, the structures associated with a water treatment plant, the signs over a freeway etc. Structural engineers are focussed on the materials of construction and their ability to withstand design actions. If a bridge collapses, it's a structural engineer's problem. If the river floods and submerges the bridge, or the traffic is at a standstill most of the day, it's a civil engineer's problem! So going back to that concrete query. Concrete is a structural material. Drawings depicting structures are structural drawings. Drawings of slabs and footings - these are also structural drawings! Civil drawings are associated with detailed earthworks, falls, drainage, etc. We are structural engineers. We design any structure in any material (but mostly steel and concrete) to resist any possible combinations of gravity, mechanical and environmental loads to prevent collapse or excessive deflection or vibration. If you need a civil engineer to design concrete stuff, you actually need a structural engineer. That's us! If you need a civil engineer to design a roadway, a culvert, a drainage system, you don't need us. But we can point you in the right direction.
07.01.2022 We still live in a period where the media are judge, jury and executioner. Where we speak out against big infrastructure spending with little knowledge yet significant power. Where we put no trust in politicians. Where depression and suicide amongst entrepreneurs and high-achievers are significant. We need to celebrate our engineers and scientists like we celebrate our sportsmen and women, for at the end of the day it’s people like CY O’Connor but also all of us little contributors that make our ‘built environment’ what it is (often against the odds).
01.01.2022 Tunnels are dug in materials ranging from soft clay to hard rock. The method of construction depends on ground conditions, groundwater, length and diameter of the tunnel, the depth of the tunnel etc. This article shares more about the 3 basic types of tunnel construction.
