Opened in September 2016, the Baha’i Temple north of Santiago, Chile, is the eighth and final continental “mother temple” of the Baha’i faith. The vision of architect Siamak Hariri of Hariri Pontarini Architects, Toronto, was to create an inspirational “temple of light”.  As a member of the design team, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger was structural engineering and cladding consultant.

Achieving Hariri’s vision posed many challenges.  The project is located in a high seismic zone in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The exterior cladding uses custom slumped borosilicate glass panels developed specifically for this project. The combination of new materials in a high seismic environment required advanced performance-based design, seismic base isolation, extensive computer simulation of structural reliability, and comprehensive testing in SGH’s laboratories to characterize the performance and durability of the novel materials.

The Temple has won numerous awards for architecture and engineering including the Institution of Structural Engineers Award for Structural Artistry in 2017.

The Northern Spire is a landmark new bridge dominating Sunderland’s skyline, which opened in August 2018. It is central to a new strategic road linking the A19 to Sunderland city centre and Port of Sunderland, United Kingdom. The innovative project has raised the profile of civil engineering both in the UK and internationally. The 105m A-frame pylon was transported by sea and river to site, before being raised into position during a carefully orchestrated two-day operation. The 330m deck was built alongside and launched across the river. It has been commissioned and overseen by Sunderland City Council. The £117 million project was funded by the UK Government and Sunderland City Council. In May 2015, the Council awarded the main construction contract to FVB, an international joint venture set up by Farrans Construction and Victor Buyck Steel Construction and the Design Joint Venture of Roughan & O’Donovan Consulting Engineers and BuroHappold Engineering.

Date: Monday May 13th 2019

Time: 18:30

The British Airways i360 Viewing Tower at Brighton is 162m high and only 3.9m in diameter – it is the world’s tallest moving observation tower and was officially recognised as the “World’s most slender tower” by Guinness World Records.  It was completed in early August 2016 and has already carried almost 1 million passengers.  This is a unique opportunity to hear the inside story of this £48 million project from the first design proposals (back in 2005), the detailed design, through to the construction work on site, and the operating arrangements.  The steel tower has been designed with two novel structural systems to mitigate any dynamic responses during high winds and was erected, without the use of a crane, by a unique “top-down” jacking method specially designed for this project.

Recording of the lecture can be seen:

Geotechnical engineering has seen a rapid growth of interest in risk assessment methodologies. This seems a logical evolution, since soils and rocks are among the most variable of all engineering materials, and geotechnical engineers must often make do with materials they are dealt with at any particular site. A probabilistic analysis may lead to a “probability of failure”, as opposed to the traditional “factor of safety”, representing a fundamental shift in the way engineers need to think about the suitability of their designs. The seminar will review some of the benefits and potential pitfalls of these different approaches and describe some introductory methods of probabilistic analysis.

With just two weeks’ notice, Monash was tasked with instrumenting and monitoring six bridges for multiple superload movements of U-trough bridge beams intended for a Level Crossing Removal Project in Melbourne to take place over 4 weeks. This project entailed multiple aspects atypical of even usual superload movements, most particularly the short time frame, the need to maintain traffic flows under the bridges, and the consideration of vandalism. In this talk, Dr. Caprani will outline the background to the project, the extraordinarily compressed timeframe, and the structural health monitoring solutions for each bridge adopted. The technical aspects of the theory and the instrumentation will be introduced.

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) are now playing an increasing role in large and small scale residential and commercial projects across the sector. The use of MMC including volumetric & panelised systems, OSM sub-assemblies and components can have significant advantages in time, labour, environmental impact and cost over traditional bricks and mortar. However, as Ireland settles in for a second upsurge in construction in as many decades, this seminar will look at what lessons can be learned from our own recent history with MMC and what can be done to mitigate or eliminate future risk.

The Institution of Structural Engineer’s most prestigious award, the Gold Medal is awarded to an individual for exceptional and outstanding contributions to the advancement of structural engineering.

The award was first initiated and presented in 1922 to Professor Henry Adams (who had been President of the Institution from 1914 to 1916). Many eminent structural engineers from around the world have been presented with the Gold Medal.

The 2014 Gold Medal was awarded to Tristram Carfrae.

The Gold Medal Address

Designing with computers

It is relatively common to hear the senior members of our profession exhort our more junior members to “stop using computer models”, particularly early in the design process. However, a computer analysis programme is really just a superior calculator (slide rule or log table). Why shouldn’t they be used by engineers to get a fast appreciation of the structural behaviour of their idea? What is it about making a quick sketch and a hand calculation that makes it so more informative than a computer model, which is replete with stresses, defected shapes, loads, reactions and many other informative results?

Surely what we really want is the wise use of computer models, even early in the design process. A virtual exploration of the design space; many models of different complexity, cross checking for fundamental structural behaviour; sensitivity studies against various input parameters; to name a few of the different strategies available.

The sudden collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh in April 2013 killing 1,132 workers forced the global garment industry to question the true cost of clothing. As a result, Arup was approached to develop a methodology which could be used to assess factory buildings and be applied to a large number of factories over a short period of time. Over 2000 factories have been assessed to date, with Arup undertaking 600 of those.

In this lecture, Aidan Madden and Shane Redmond of Arup will outline the challenges faced in setting up and implementing the methodology and give details of their experiences both on the engineering and cultural aspects of working on such a project.

When opened in 1964, the Forth Road Bridge (FRB), with a main span of 1006m, was the 4th longest in the world and was the 1st long span bridge to be built outside the US. Having recently celebrated its 50th anniversary the FRB now transports over 25 million vehicles per year and is a vital link in Scotland’s strategic road network. However, the operation and maintenance costs of large cable supported bridges such as the FRB are often underestimated by those funding their initial construction. It would also appear that new design and construction of large cable supported bridges are still undertaken without much reference to those who have the experience of maintaining and operating them. This presentation will delve into these topics and describe the maintenance works carried out on the FRB over the past 15 years so as to ensure structural integrity for its remaining service life.

Presented by: Barry Colford Chief Engineer & Bridgemaster, Forth Road Bridge

Barry is a Chartered Civil Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Barry is author of a number of technical papers on bridge engineering and is a European Committee member of the International Cable Supported Bridge Operators Association. He represents the Long Span Bridges Group on the UK Bridges Board and Bridge Owners Forum. He is involved with both Edinburgh University and Edinburgh Napier University in their MEng and MSc courses. He is the Chief Engineer and Bridgemaster of the Forth Road Bridge.

Daly’s Bridge is a historic steel suspension footbridge in Ireland, known locally as the ‘Shaky Bridge’ for its noticeable movement under pedestrian loading. Daly’s bridge has been instrumented and tested recently for static and dynamic responses and a model of the bridge has been established in the process. The talk will focus on this modelling and testing. Video analysis and a new signal processing technique have been successfully applied to this bridge to identify its natural frequency. The study highlights the complexity and importance of full scale testing with good models and signal processing techniques for pedestrian bridge structures.

The lecture will be given by Dr Vikram Pakrashi. Vikram is a Chartered Engineer with Engineers Ireland and a Lecturer in Structural Engineering in University College Cork, Ireland. He is the director of Dynamical Systems and Risk Laboratory, Civil and Environmental Engineering, School of Engineering, University College Cork. Vikram’s research interests include dynamics of structures and infrastructure maintenance management.

This year, the Republic of Ireland Regional Group of the IStructE has this year been working hard, in conjunction with colleagues in HQ in London to establish a “Young Members Group” in the Republic of Ireland.

According to the Institution’s main website (www.istructe.org) via the following link;

“The Young Members’ Group primary objective is to represent the views of young members of the profession within the Regional Group and to develop initiatives that will generate the interest of Young Members in the Institution. It is also intended that the group involves young members in the community who aspire to be Civil and Structural Engineers and are therefore not members of the institution.

The Group aims to supplement normal Regional Group functions with programmes particularly designed for young members. The Group is responsible for undertaking initiatives independently without the direct involvement of the Regional Group but accountable to it. Young Members and aspiring members are encouraged to express their views and ideas on all matters of Regional Group interest.”

The Group will be organising a series of events throughout the year, including professional lectures, interesting site visits, social events such as pub quizzes, in conjunction with the numerous events already run by the Regional Group Committee.

The  first event has been organised to take place on Tuesday, 30th September 2014 at 6.30pm in Room 281, DIT Bolton Street. Kieran Ruane, Director at RPS Group, and Roger Tegart, Director at Cronin & Sutton Consulting will deliver a lecture entitled “Roads to Chartership” helping Young Members on their way to IStructE chartership (M.IStructE).

The Republic of Ireland Young Members Group of the IStructE are pleased to announce their inaugural lecture entitled “Roads to Chartership”. The lecture will take place on Tuesday 30th September 2014 at 6.30pm in Room 281, DIT Bolton Street. The lecture will be delivered by Mr Kieran Ruane, Director, RPS Group, and Mr Roger Tegart, Director, Cronin & Sutton Consulting Engineers.

Kieran and Roger will discuss the chartership exam and provide advice and some useful tips based on their own personal experience. Kieran and Roger have over 40 years combined experience in the field of structural engineering and will provide invaluable advice for those intending to sit the exam in the future.

Attention all members!

The Association of Consulting Engineers Ireland have published an Interim Advice Note RE: Masonry Blocks and Apparent Pyrite Content.

“It has come to the attention of the Association of Consulting Engineers that there have been recent instances of apparent pyrite content in concrete blocks provided by block manufacturers.

In cases reported the affected blocks were noted to have a brown discoloration. The physical strength characteristics diminished over short period of time, particularly when exposed to moisture.

The ACEI are concerned about these occurrences and recommend all member firms request assurance from suppliers that materials are free of deleterious materials and that a representative sample of blocks be tested for pyrite content by chemical analysis.

We will endeavour to keep members informed and would appreciate any feedback on members experience in relation to this matter.”

The Interim Advice Note, as published by the ACEI is available here: ACEI – Pyrite in Concrete Blocks Advice Note 2014-05-13

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Mr John Christopher Lee, who had been a member of this Institution since 1990.

Call for papers!

Do you have an interesting project you would like to tell us about or perhaps just a smart design shortcut that is worth sharing ?

‘The Structural Engineer’ is calling for submissions. We actively encourage our members in the Republic of Ireland Regional Group to submit articles (in pdf form) to the editorial office at: editorial@istructe.org. If you are unsure as to whether your contribution is suitable for initial consideration, we welcome the submission of a synopsis on which an initial determination can be made.

Please visit www.istructe.org/thestructuralengineer/guidetocontributors for more details.

Are you interested Earthquake Engineering?

Do you want to get involved in helping develop tools and resources for seismic hazards and risk assessment in Ireland and across the globe?

GEM (Global Earthquake Model) is an international forum where organisations and people come together to develop, use and share tools and resources for transparent assessment of earthquake risk. It’s motto is: ‘Working together to assess risk.’  GEM achieve this through international scientific consortia developing global best practice, datasets and tools, as well as through regional partnerships in all continents, collaborative projects, open-source software development, rigorous testing and knowledge sharing. GEM are currently looking for structural engineering volunteers in the Republic of Ireland to assist in our development.

The GEM initiative aims to establish an independent, uniform standard to calculate and communicate earthquake risk worldwide, a Global Earthquake Model.  Most countries do not currently consider earthquakes in the design of conventional structures, with the exception of nuclear power plants, which are designed for very rare earthquakes. GEM is interested in the nature and extent of construction in all countries, including Ireland. Initially, the assistance that GEM is looking for from its members worldwide is the taxonomy of the built environment in members’ own countries.

You may test this listing or try to discover your paper within the dropdown menu, however even should you do not, you’ll be able to select the choice ‘different’ and write your particular necessities.

Thoughts On Easy Programs For essay pro review essaysrescue

So, is EssayPro legit in spite of everything? Yes, it is a reputable bidding platform and it does its job. Virtually every EssayPro assessment agrees which you can get a well-written paper there, and prices essaypro aren’t bad too. Nonetheless, if you do not have time for looking for a very good author, this service just isn’t the only option.

137. Essay Shark (-) Energetic, unchanged. Some essay sites like to decorate it up. However in the end, everyone knows what’s occurring. Students are having you write their papers. At times we are needed to let our hair down just a bit, however notice that we probably allow it down all the way or we don’t the least bit. Essaypro presents the reply.

I compared the number of related online writing providers and may surely say that the costs in Essaypro are ones of essentially the most affordable. The minimal worth they state for a web page is 12$. The price varies because the papers may very well be of different problem level. It also depends on the deadline you said in the order. Undoubtedly, you possibly can come throughout a number of cheaper writing companies, and if you are the one who used to choose the one funds variants, Essaypro wouldn’t sound applicable for you. As for me, I used to make the decision not solely choosing decrease costs but in addition taking into the consideration others points of the service’s work.

It is best to know that we always ship papers on time. When college students seek for a paper writing service, it means they can not deal with their assignments on their very own. They are busy and wish their papers to be written as quickly as potential, which is sort of pure. We are used to working in such situations so you’ll be able to rely on us even if your deadlines are actually essay pro review tight. Even if in case you have only 3 hours, do not be afraid to ask for help. We ask our clients to supply any crucial particulars about their orders initially, nonetheless you’ll be able to add some further supplies or directions related already in the middle of implementation.

At all times be grateful to those who depart critiques. It does not matter whether or not they’re positive or negative. Present appreciation for the truth essay pro reviews that individuals take to share their thoughts with you. This manner, your common and potential prospects see that your company values frank suggestions and that the consumer opinion is important to it.

This firm is also offering three admission writing options, so in style among students, they are a private assertion, admission essay and entrance essay. These papers are generally written by students essay pro reddit who are going to enter faculty or university. In addition they have several additional providers like lab stories creation, reaction paper writing and formatting.

Selecting Clear-Cut Methods For essaypro essaysrescue

We stated above that the author assigned” providers tend to be more expensive than bidding services. That is the frequent case, but it’s not a rule. In fact, most of those essaypro conventional services provides you with a reduction code for your first order, so they will cut back the price even below the typical bids you get at a bidding service.

We might never assist a writer who has put up their account for sale. 253. Related Post: link Robert Frost Papers () Active, unchanged. These papers require more time and effort, and we’ll essaypro.com gladly take them on instead of you. The research you pay for will probably be thorough to a fault and the precise evaluation will pleasantly surprise your professors.

Now we have decided to order a paper from the website, even though we don’t take into account this to be a clear proof of quality. In any essay pro case, it all depends on the actual author you select, so our expertise could also be utterly different from that of different customers.

There are a number of essay-writing sites in the web these days. At the first look the paper was okay, but when we passed it to our buddy, he works as an editor within the online magazine we have been stunned with quite a few grammar errors he underlined. We have now asked Grade Miners for the revision and handed the original paper back to the author.
