Stronger concrete, powerful design tools, and aspirational architectural layouts have made post-tensioned floors the choice of commercial and residential buildings. Little to none is covered in formal college courses, leading to the PT designs to be handled by specialty consultants. To remain competitive, making the right engineering assumptions, knowing the applicable provisions of the building ...

Since the construction of modern structures, civil engineers have been assisting infrastructure owners with planning, designing, constructing, and inspection of their assets using the methodologies that have been developed empirically. Most of these heuristic approaches are based on simplified assumptions. As infrastructure, especially the bridge inventory, continues to age and becomes a more ...

A road diet represents the rechannelization of a roadway from four lanes, consisting of two travel lanes in each direction, to three lanes, consisting of one travel lane in each direction separated by a two-way left-turn lane. A road diet represents the rechannelization of a roadway from four lanes, consisting of two travel lanes in each direction, to three lanes, consisting of one travel lane in ...

Project delays are a constant threat to the success of any construction project. Project participants can prevent or limit the damage that delays can cause by developing the skills to identify delays before they occur, or at least before they become insurmountable. When delays occur, it is essential that the project team have the skills necessary to allow them to quantify this delay using ...

Many civil engineering firms that traditionally have shunned the federal market are now reconsidering. Given the current state of the economy, many of these firms are now seeing greater advantages to having federal government contracts. Even in today’s budgetary climate, the fact is that many federal government agencies have substantial budgets for engineering services. Federal agencies, ...

This seminar provides hands-on training for engineers and planners on how to effectively manage accesses serving new and existing office, commercial and industrial uses. The presentation will focus on how to optimize the spacing and design characteristics of driveways to minimize the impacts on major street operations as well as the potential for crashes. The needs of all road users (motorists, ...
