Checking the behaviour of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular (CFST) column-to-column connections under compression in a 10,000 kN Micro-Computer Controlled Electro-Hydraulic Servo Compressive, Shearing and Bending Testing Machine at Structural Testing Laboratory, Institute for Infrastructure Engineering, Western Sydney University. This test determines the maximum load the connection can withstand without failure, which is essential for assessing the connection’s ability to transfer loads safely from one column to the other. #CFST_columns #CFST_column_connections #Sustainability #Composite_columns #Full_scale_Column_test_under_compression

A 11-story steel structure, which includes two basement levels. The building incorporates steel braces and reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls, providing both stability and strength. The combination of these features ensures that the structure is well-prepared to withstand both seismic activities and cyclone. Designing multistory buildings in Suva is always a pleasure due to region’s lower seismic hazard factor and the presence of a competent marl substrate which provides a stable foundation.

Understanding sign conventions is essential in structural analysis, as they are crucial for accurately reading and drawing diagrams of internal structural forces. The three primary internal forces in structural analysis are shear force (V), axial force (N), and bending moment (M), along with an internal couple. Due to variations in how positive and negative coordinates are defined, it is important to establish clear sign conventions before beginning any structural analysis tasks to avoid confusion and ensure accurate results.

Project planning is crucial because it lays the foundation for success. It helps define goals, allocate resources efficiently, anticipate risks, set timelines, and ensure everyone is on the same page. Essentially, it's the roadmap that guides a project from conception to completion.

🌟 New Video Alert: Structural Analysis Simplified! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share my latest YouTube video, part of a new Structural Analysis Playlist, where I dive into the analysis of a 3-span_continuous-beam under a uniformly distributed load. This in-depth tutorial explores: 1️⃣ Slope-Deflection Method: A powerful approach to calculate node-rotation, beam moments, and reactions. 2️⃣ Double-Integration Method: A systematic technique for determining the deformation-shape of the beam. 3️⃣ Validation with CSI-ETABS: Results are cross-verified using finite element modeling to ensure precision. The video also provides detailed insights into generating and interpreting the shear-diagram and moment-diagram, crucial for understanding structural behavior. This content is perfect for students, educators, and practicing engineers aiming to enhance their understanding of advanced analysis techniques and software validation. 🎥 Watch it here: [https://lnkd.in/eXFg8VAt] Explore the full Structural Analysis Playlist for more advanced techniques and practical examples. Your thoughts, questions, and discussions are always welcome—let’s grow together as a community of learners! #StructuralEngineering #3SpanContinuousBeam #SlopeDeflection #DoubleIntegration #ETABS #NodeRotation #DeformationShape #ShearDiagram #MomentDiagram

#post-1 #structuremodelling In ETABS, membrane and shell are types of area elements used to represent slabs, walls, and other surface elements. The primary difference lies in how they handle forces, stiffness, and deformation. 1. Membrane Element: Behavior: Only in-plane forces (membrane forces) are considered, such as axial and shear forces within the plane. No bending or out-of-plane stiffness. Applications: Used for elements that primarily resist in-plane loads, like diaphragms for lateral load distribution. Stiffness: Assumes infinite out-of-plane flexibility (no bending stiffness). Key Features: Transfers loads to connected elements without resisting out-of-plane moments. Typically used in rigid diaphragm modeling 2. Shell Element: Behavior: Handles both in-plane (axial, shear) and out-of-plane (bending, torsion) forces. More realistic for most structural applications. Applications: Used for elements subjected to bending and in-plane forces, like slabs and walls. Stiffness: Includes bending stiffness, making it suitable for structures requiring accurate deformation analysis. Key Features: Provides detailed results, including stresses and deflections in all directions. Can be used for flat or curved surfaces. Key Differences in Summary: When to Use: Membrane: For simplified models where bending behavior is negligible. Example: Modeling a rigid diaphragm in a high-rise building. Shell: For accurate analysis of bending and in-plane behavior. Example: Designing an RCC slab or shear wall.

Civil Engineers & VCAT If you’re a civil engineer looking for work in Australia with local council, government authority or with any company involved in land development, it’s vital to understand the planning issues confronting specific municipalities and shires. An awareness of such issues will demonstrate a local knowledge and attention to the needs of the employer – you’ve actually done some research on the challenges they are facing. Your cover letter/email/phone conversation will be a breath of fresh air amongst a pile a CVs just listing candidates’ experience. Each state has its own Civil & Administrative Tribunal which resolves disputes and makes decisions in relation to development. For example, they hear matters regarding Environment and Resources, falling under the following environment and resource management enactments: Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021 Climate Change Act 2017 Conservation, Forests and Lands Act 1987 Environment Protection Act 2017 Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 Melbourne Strategic Assessment (Environment Mitigation Levy) Act 2020 Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990 Petroleum Act 1998 Plant Biosecurity Act 2010 Radiation Act 2005 Water Act 1989 The great thing is that tribunal hearings are open to the public. That’s right, you can listen to both sides arguing their case in relation to proposed developments. You will come away from the hearing with greater insight into issues relating to water, land & environmental management; design assessment of projects; and impact of development on traders and residents. Check out your state’s CAT and look for the upcoming hearings. Victoria – VCAT, NSW – NCAT, etc. #CivilEngineers #OBPAustralia #CouncilJobs
