◻️ Director at OFR Consultants ◻️ Chartered Engineer ◻️ 🔥 Engineering Consultant ◻️ 🎓 Researcher & Visiting Professor
🏗 Good to see some strong statements on 🔥 exposure and structural integrity in the newly released second edition of the The Institution of Structural Engineers guide on Structural #robustness and Disproportionate Collapse in #Buildings: 1️⃣ "Structural engineers need to engage with structural robustness in #fire at all times. While specific requirements for structural fire performance exist in Part B of Schedule 1 of the Building Regulations (for England and Wales), fires are also accidents that have implications for compliance with Part A. Specifically, requirement A1(1) places an expectation on the structure to sustain loads and transmit them to the ground safely." 2️⃣ "Fires represent both an action on a structure, i.e., they have the potential to induce forces and moments, etc., and an impediment to the transmission of loads, i.e., through reductions in strength and stiffness with increasing temperature. Under requirement A3, fires can lead to collapses that are disproportionate to the cause. These implications of the regulatory requirements have not typically been well-understood or explicitly addressed by designers or even approving authorities."

Roof Restoration Specialist At Sherwin-Williams | Helping Building Owners Save Money On Roofing Projects With Fluid-Applied Cool Roof Restoration Solutions | FAA-Licensed Drone Pilot | Certified sUAS Thermographer
Take a quick tour with me as I look at one of the most challenging roofs to assess; the ballasted roof... On a side note, the debate rages within the roofing world as to whether or not this type of roof should even be considered for a fluid-applied restoration. I am not here to open that can of worms today. My position on that remains the same as it has always been; move through the assessment process with extreme caution which will likely mean employing the services of a reputable roofing consultant and a structural engineer. More times than not, I opt not to get involved with restoring this type of roof system. But I never turn down an opportunity to look at a roof, no matter the type! #roofrestoration #roofcoatings #fluidappliedroofing #commercialroofing #roofingsolutions Matthew Roberts James Camferdam Andrew Fickinger Marisol Masferrer Kathy Schoch William Lavender, IIBEC RRO, NACE CIP I John T Hull, RRO, CSMT Vinny Fedorski Tim Klindt Coy Jimenez Todd Beavers Andres Ramirez, MIBA Giovanny Pazmino Mackenna Carpenter, MS Brandy Giansiracusa Nick Carpentier Christian Spitzenberger Nathan Clark Rolf Snobeck, RRC Troy Osborne

Below is a link to an article I co-wrote with Thomas H. Welby. P.E., Esq. about the effectiveness of disclaimers of the accuracy of drawings, and the necessity of a contractor to thoroughly investigate conditions for themselves pre-bid.
When first deciding to undertake a construction project, regardless of whether public or private, contractors often first turn to the drawings. The reason for this is simple, the drawings are a graphic representation of what is to be built; or, to cite the old adage, a picture is worth a thousand words. However, a court, in Maric Mechanical, Inc. v New York City Housing Authority, reminds us that where that picture, itself, is accompanied by words—there, a disclaimer—those words can destroy a thousand pictures.

Installations on flat roofs can be done using a variety of mounting solutions, with many favouring ballasted systems that don't penetrate the roof. But because of the significant additional weights involved, structural load calculations will always be needed.

Designed to absorb thermal expansion, contraction, and vibrations in structures, expansion joints are essential components in construction. Expansion joints allow for these movements and avert possible harm, preserving the stability and lifetime of infrastructure and buildings. Via: @_iarchitect/ig

Structural Engineer | Chartered Engineer(I) | Value engineering & Sustainability | UoManchester & BMSCE Alumni | One skill at a time
Yesterday, I had an opportunity to attend a webinar organized by The Concrete Centre, delving into the latest advancements and evolution of Eurocodes to their 2nd generation. This update encompasses significant enhancements across various aspects of the current code and new additions, offering a broader scope. Highlighted during the session were notable features of the 2nd gen EC2, few of which are provisions for nonlinear analysis annexes, the introduction of Exposure Resistance Classes (ERC) to ensure durability, incorporation of embedded FRP reinforcement, as well as substantial revisions addressing confined concrete, punching shear, cracking, anchorage, and lap lengths. As structural engineers, it is paramount that we continuously update ourselves with the latest design codes and standards. #structuralengineering #structuraldesign #concreteconstruction #eurocodes #concretedesign #construction #civilengineering

3 Facts about foundation and basement designs as structural engineers - Load-Bearing Support: Foundation and basement designs are critical in providing a stable load-bearing support system for the entire structure. This ensures that the building's weight is evenly distributed and prevents settlement or shifting. - Waterproofing and Drainage: Effective foundation and basement designs incorporate waterproofing and drainage solutions to protect the structure from water damage, mould growth, and potential structural weakening due to moisture infiltration. - Soil and Environmental Considerations: When designing foundations and basements, structural engineers must consider soil composition, groundwater levels, and seismic activity to ensure they can withstand environmental pressures and remain durable over time. Learn more about what we do as structural engineers! https://lnkd.in/dfsFj3_j

I think we missed a step. As professional building enclosure consultants we typically have decades of experience and higher education. We regularly employ sophisticated tools and techniques to perform our work. We can calculate dew points within construction assemblies, perform WUFI simulations on heat and moisture transfer, design for air tightness, perm ratings, R-values, ICC Code compliance and the list goes on and on. None of which matters if we can't, as an industry, install roofs and wall facades in wind prone areas like Galveston or Houston and keep them from blowing off. We are definitely missing a step.
