Structure without Function is a corpse. Function without Structure is a Ghost. In other to call anything living, the Structure has to support function and the function has to be in a structure J.O.O

Road schematic underway. The first step in producing a road schematic is to piece together the drawings so we can get a good look at what is being built.

Baltimore bridge Collapse: I watched a video for mega bridge collapse, at Baltimore, Maryland, USA, after being struck by a container ship. I felt it is bad for us as structural Engineers and bridge designers the collapse of bridge due to what happened.  The ship has huge momentum, even at slow speed, due to its massive weight. No matter it is because of errant vessel, irrespective of any mistake of the ship captain or crew any deficiency in the control system of the ship and under any conditions we should not allow for that in the future. We have to protect our structures Vessel collision standards have to be reviewed. The philosophy of vessel collision design should be reevaluated. https://lnkd.in/dzXFQAAH

Swing Bridge Local Construction Process A moveable bridge that has its primary structure support a vertical locating pin and support ring usually at or near to its center of gravity. The typical swing Bridge will rotate approximately 90 degrees or one quarter turn However a bridge which intersect the navigation channel at an oblique Angle may be built to rotate only 45 degree or one-eighth turn in order to clear the channel. #construction #roadconstruction #bridgeconstruction #civilengineering #bridgeengineering #structuralengineering

Bridges are pretty neat, often considered to be the pinnacle of structural engineering. Here's a short breakdown of a bunch of different types of bridges: https://lnkd.in/gyTddjqm

Elements orientation is the most commonly ignored thing on site. Structural soundness of the structure can easily be messed up.
