  • Design/Build and the Structural Engineer
    A look at advantages and disadvantages Design/Build and the Structural Engineer By Joseph P. Watson III, P.E. Design/build definitely presents many advantages to participants in a project. First of all, design/build offers the owner a single source of responsibility—one contact point for all questions, conflicts, and revisions. Conflicts, questions, and problems can be addressed more easily because all of the players are on the same team. As an engineer, one of the things I like best about design/build is the problem-solving aspect. When a problem arises at job site, there is no finger-pointing to determine who’s at fault, which, under other project delivery systems, can take months of accusations and digging back through design files— even legal action in some cases—to determine. With design/build, the question is not “Whose fault is it?” but rather “O.K., we’ve got a prob- lem; what do we do to solve it”. Revisions can be handled much more smoothly under design/build, again because all affected parties – architect, engineers, and contractor – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office selected The Haskell Company especially for its design-build experience for the Falkenburg Road Jail in Tampa. The project is a five-building campus, consisting of a 44,000 s.f. reception are on the same team. Preliminary and operations center, two 50,000 s.f. dormitories with 256 beds each, a two-story 71,000 s.f. special management analysis can be worked up easily, housing facility with 256 beds, and an 8,000 s.f.

Our vision: A world in which structural engineers are valued by the public for their contributions to building a safer and stronger community. MARCH 2019 See our History, Mission Statement, and Bylaws for more information. Vol. XXII, No. 3 INSIDE THIS ISSUE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE In the last year or so we have seen a number of high profile failures in President’s Message pp. 1-2 our infrastructure system here in the Bay Area. There was the leaning Upcoming Events pp. 2-5 skyscraper that made national news, the cracked steel beams that shut down a brand new transit center, and the hundreds of buildings that Committee News p. 5 burned down in wildfires. In the month of February alone, there was a major bridge shut down because of crumbling concrete and a major Job Forum pp. 7-15 highway shut down because of a levee breech. I can certainly think of better ways to celebrate National Engineers Week. All of this bad news can be discouraging to civil and structural engineers. After all, we design structures to withstand the forces of nature, not to succumb to them. People in our community depend on us to design safe and durable structures, so when a structure fails the public often reinforces the mindset that engineers are responsible for the failure when they ask us why we think something failed.

  • Structural Engineering Overview CEE 379 Structural Engineering Overview Notes
    Structural Engineering Overview CEE 379 Structural Engineering Overview Notes What do structural engineers do? Structural engineers have the responsibility of designing structures and structural components so that they are sufficiently strong, stiff, stable, and safe to meet client needs. For a structure to be sufficiently strong, it must be able to handle normal loads without sustaining noticeable damage. To be sufficently stiff, a structure should not deform under loading in ways that cause discomfort or distress to occupants/users or contents/equipment. Stability is related to strength, but it refers to particular kinds of failure that are not initiated by localized overstressing of material, but rather by phenomena driven by nonlinear feedback between load and deformation, such as buckling or overturning. For a structure to be safe, it should be able to handle extreme loadings in such a way that occupants have time to exit prior to collapse. Structural engineers typically work as part of a team that might include architects, contractors, fabrica- tors, building officials, and numerous other engineering disciplines. Although a great deal of the educational focus for structural engineering revolves around analysis and design code calculations, in practice one must bring to the table an ability to work creatively in a team context to solve problems. Structural engineering requires a great deal of technical depth, but structural engineers are professionals, not technicians. Note that it is possible (and not uncommon) for the structural engineer to perform his or her job well, but for the structure itself to not succeed. A building can be ugly, drafty, or toxic, it can block views, it can go out of style, and so on.

  • What Kinds of Engineers Build Bridges? What Do Civil Engineers Do?
    What kinds of engineers build bridges? What do civil engineers do? Civil engineering focuses on structures that serve the public such as transportation systems, water treatment, government buildings, public facilities such as airports and train stations, and other large-scale projects that benefit the public. A civil engineer must be able to design safe structures in various locations. In terms of transportation, civil engineers build bridges, tunnels, freeway interchanges, and other structures that are designed to facilitate the smooth, even flow of traffic. Water treatment includes sewage plants, delivery systems for freshwater and dams, and other facilities that deal with both fresh- and wastewater. Government buildings can include courthouses and libraries, and a civil engineer might also work on a city power plant. Some of the subspecialties in civil engineering are environmental engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, materials engineering, structural engineering, construction engineering, and water resource engineering. What do structural engineers do? Structural engineers are specialists in design, construction, repair, conversion, and conservation. They are concerned with all aspects of a structure and its stability and safety. Structural engineering is considered a subspecialty of civil engineering. Structural engineers are a key part of the design and construction team, working alongside other engineering disciplines to create all kinds of structures, from houses, theaters, sports stadiums, and hospitals, to bridges, oil rigs, and space satellites. They also consider the aesthetics of the site and the community in which it will be built. Every structure must be built with consideration of the conditions of the its location. Bridges in cold, snowy climates will need to be built with continuous snow and ice loads in mind.
