The building industry was in the constant race even during the nascent age of computers and software programs. The matter of fact is during that time (a few decades ago), the planning and construction process of buildings was slow and less-efficient. In the present time, things have changed a lot and for a good reason. Not only has technology evolved but the building industry has witnessed changes too. And the advancement in building structures is remarkable too. Considering all these changes and to achieve the requirements, professionals need a more efficient and effective way to work over designs of structural buildings. In simple words, they need to focus on carrying out performance based design . And, they can bring out the exact effective and efficient design solutions by utilizing software programs. The software program helps professionals (engineers, architects, contractors, designers) to design and analysis structural building projects accurately and without errors. Stru...

Whether it is about building high-rise apartments or office buildings, structure endurance is an important thing to maintain. Most small and large structures are capable of sustaining unfavorable weather conditions because they are built incorporating the performance-based design. It has become easier for engineers to perform a thorough analysis and model structure for complicated constructions with the help of structural design software programs. Structural engineers need to calculate the rigidity, stability, and quality of the structures to create safe and long-lasting buildings. The whole process requires engineers to consider various things for accurate analysis such as the performance of different components of structures. Engineers and contractors emphasize to employ structural design software because it helps to generate code compliant and high-performance design. The design process of a structure includes the creation of a 3D model of the structure that includes...

Just like a building construction requires extensive planning and analysis, demolition of a building or a structure requires it too. That is because, during a demolition process of any structure (any building), the safety and welfare of the public and workers are a top priority. Apart from this demolition engineering is important to analyze and plan different planning stages of demolition to ensure neighbor-buildings and other properties have no damage. The demolition process is not an easy task. It requires great expertise and skills. It requires extensive planning and analysis. That is why choosing a professional engineering service becomes essential. An expert demolition engineer is responsible to provide safe and economic demolition sequences for structures. There can be a range of structures, for example, commercial buildings, bridges or tower-blocks et cetera. What is Involved in Engineering Services for Demolition of Structures? ·       ...

Everybody hires experienced engineers for the construction of the structure as it requires strategic work and skills. It gives surety that structure will remain strong and invulnerable to extreme weather conditions. However, when it comes to demolishing a structure, the majority of people don't involve professionals and take the matter in their own hands. Demolishing a building is a complicated process that should be handled only by an experienced demolition engineer . We all know that there are a plethora of ways to knock down the structure, but it is difficult to execute those methods. Destruction of a building also puts nearby structures at risk and can even cause major damages to structures and people. Demolition experts consider every single possibility and concentrate on safety when planning to demolish a building. They choose methods after knowing the location of a building, the purpose of demolition, primary building materials. Reputed demolition engineering compani...

Generally, term demolition is thought of as deconstruction of building projects. But the demolition of a building is sometimes important to prevent future failures. And, this process too requires proper planning and analysis. You must be thinking why demolition must be planned! Well, it must be analyzed and planned to ensure structures in neighborhood, properties, people are safe and secure. Sometimes, only a particular area of a structure requires demolition, so demolition engineering service becomes essential to ensure other areas/sections of the structure stay harmless. Considering safety and security measurements, expert engineers are hired to do their job. They are responsible to look after demolition planning and analysis. Their duties include inspecting a building, evaluating the budget or the cost required in the process, acquiring necessary permits, disconnecting existing services, and demolition waste management. They go ahead with the planning and analysis keeping a...

We all are witnesses of rapid economic development, increased design sophistication. We see a lot more and advanced construction technology. These technologies come with a certain risk that is a proliferation of structural failures. And, when it comes to structural failures, it requires a proper engineering investigation to find out the causes of the same. Forensic structural engineering is all about that. This service refers to engineering investigation, and finding of the reasons of structural failures of buildings, bridges, and other constructed facilities. It involves rendering opinions and giving testimony in judicial proceedings (if and when required). Not all structural failures are appalling. Sometimes, a building structure that includes certain facilities or part of facilities that do not perform as intended by the one who is in charge (be it the owner, designer, professional, or a constructor; whosoever has the right to take the decision), requires an engineer to perform ...

The term ‘Forensic’ is commonly and mostly referred to as it has only got something to do with investigations at crime scenes! Well, it is pretty correct that forensic is about investigating things, but it is not only associated with crime scenes. It is also done on and for structures. Yes! You read it right. We call it structural forensic engineering services. Let us understand more about it. Forensic engineering includes investigating what caused the structure to fail. It is about determining the cause, the reason for a building or bridge collapse, or even smaller-scale structural failures. There are expert forensic engineers responsible for carrying out the process of investigation. It is done so that there can be a certain improvement on construction processes, and so that the same mistake does not happen again. It involves imitating the structure as it is created and attempting to distinguish the reason for structural failure. Well executed forensic structural engineering ...
