It's a bad year for powerful English women named Liz.
Truss falling might bring down the roof! 🤭🤭🤭🤭

Can I get some love from #CivilEngineering Twitter for this very topical joxx? 🤓
Are we really supposed to not be ROFLing at the fact that Britain will have 5 prime ministers in 6 years.... OF THE SAME FUCKING PARTY???? 😂😂😂

Like literally, is there a bigger case study of how conservatism doesn't work? 5 PMs in 6 years OF THE SAME PARTY!!!

Wellllllll... THAT was a busy day!
Hugely grateful for #structuralengineers Jon Smith of @rocconsulting1 & @ArupGroup 's Christopher Barker for joining my #DEC Level 3 (A Level equivalent) students at @Highlands_JSY & @HautlieuSchool to discuss... ImageImageImageImage

...structural loading & forces and then, in the afternoon, @CIGPE president & BEng lecturer Mafalda Santos & Amy Rebours from @skills_jersey / Trackers joining the HC students to talk about the pathways (on island) to a career in #civilengineering ... ImageImage
#DECinJsy (3/4) ...Bridges, chocolate, videoconferencing, spaghetti, theory, careers, #gatsbybenchmarks coming out of your ears. A great, productive day. PHEW!
Thanks to our industry supporters, bringing the learning to life.

Civil பட்டப்படிப்பு முடித்த நிலையில் இருப்பவர்களுக்கும் முடித்து சில ஆண்டுகள் வேலையில் இருப்பவர்களுக்கும், இந்த Oil & Gas துறையில் இருக்கும் வேலை வாய்ப்புகள், நீங்கள் கற்று கொள்ள வேண்டிய (1/18)
விஷயங்களைப்பற்றி இன்று எழுதுகிறேன்.
Building Strong, Basement weak அப்படின்னு வடிவேலு சொல்வது போல் இல்லாமல் இரண்டும் வலுவாக இருக்க வடிவமைப்பதே Civil & Structural Engineeringன் சிறப்பம்சம்.
சில terms ஆங்கிலத்தில் மட்டுமே சொல்ல முடியும் என்பதால் ஆங்கிலத்தில் எழுதுகிறேன். (2/18)
While you study Civil Engg, please study modules such as 1) Industrial Structure 2) Powerplant Structure 3) Offshore Structures which will boost knowledge in Engg & design. Those who did Diploma, it is recommended to do a degree for more job opportunities & career growth. (3/18)

Some recent discussion has prompted me to do a quick thread on some UK road gantries (Disclaimer: Not A Designer). You may have noticed the latest road gantries have different designs and look bigger, & bulkier, than previous designs 1/ #roads #motorway #gantry #construction Image
Pic 1 is of a cantilever MS4 (large square matrix display) gantry, has been around for 10yrs+, it looks very sleek, slender and unobtrusive - contrast to pic 2, also for an MS4, which looks far bigger and bulkier 2/ ImageImage
The main reason is the tech - old 1980s road gantries were designed as accessible - there's a ladder access on the left gantry leg - to allow maintenance. However they didn't really get used except for by trespassers to unfold banners from (Remember the M1 in 2016 anyone?)3/ Image

This weekend #engineering talk on....cranes! Cranes are used widely however they are generally used for lifting heavy/awkward things, so their use is strictly controlled & planned to ensure it all happens safely 1/ Image
Lifting operations in the UK are legislated by the Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 - this is a UK law that governs how lifts are carried out, and places legal requirements on suppliers of cranes & those planning lifts 2/
LOLER has two main requirements 1) that the lifting equipment is safe for use, and 2) that the lift is planned & managed by competent persons 3/

Lots of angry people in Nottingham currently due to delays caused by the #A52 #CliftonBridge emergency closure over the River Trent, so a quick thread to help explain why these sorts of things happen (and why we can expect more of them) 1/ Image
There are two bridges over the Trent at Clifton; the west bridge (on left in photo) opened in 1958. The east bridge (closed) opened in 1972. It is an unusual arrangement in that on the northbound A52, the lanes split with lane 1 using the west bridge & lane 2 using the east! 2/ Image
The west bridge is made of post-tensioned concrete and due to its age was strengthened in the late 90s due to over 25% of the tendons being corroded. Put simply, tendons are long steel strands fixed under tension to pull the bridge together 3/

Supongamos que tenemos una viga simplemente apoyada.
Esta viga está sometida a su peso propio, por lo que se deformará de una manera como la representada en la figura.
La deformada la he aumentado, digamos, 10 veces para que sea claramente apreciable.

¡Empezamos! Repasemos algunas de las vigas y celosías más comunes.

Todas ellas son de un vano y tienen condiciones de apoyo isostáticas, esto es, un apoyo fijo y otro deslizante.

#estructuras #ingenieria #IngenieriaCivil #CivilEngineering #structures
Si a una de estas vigas (he escogido la celosía Warren) le doy una ligera curvatura, el comportamiento estructural de la misma apenas diferirá de la versión recta. Esto es porque las condiciones de apoyo son isostáticas.
En otras palabras, el momento que solicita a la viga en el centro de luz, el famoso p*l2/8, es el mismo en ambos casos.

Recordad que una viga curva solo activa su comportamiento de arco si ambos apoyos son fijos, lo que no es el caso de la figura.

Venga, vamos a repasar juntos tipologías básicas de puentes que podríais incluir en vuestro inventario. Ya de paso repasamos todos.

¡La proporción y la escala, os la compro! Iré desde la tipología de puente más sencilla a la más complicada.
Empiezo con el puente viga. La viga más clásica que hay es la celosía.
Hay más tipos de vigas. He incluido una de alzado curvo .

A este hilo le vamos a colgar un peso (saquito). Este hilo adquirirá una forma como la representada.
Seguimos. Si al hilo le colgamos dos pesos más, este adquirirá esta otra forma...más o menos.
