A dedicated, passion-driven and highly skilled engineer with extensive knowledge in research, construction and structural design of civil engineering structures to several codes of practices
Raft and pile foundations approach the same problem from different directions. A raft foundation spreads structural load over a large surface area near the ground…
Dynamic loads are forces that act on a structure and vary over time. Unlike static loads, they induce acceleration, vibration, and in some cases resonance.
Forensic engineering transforms structural failure from tragedy into knowledge. It demands patience, scientific discipline, and unwavering commitment to truth.
This article examines construction tolerances from a structural perspective, not as workmanship trivia but as parameters that can materially alter structural behaviour.
This article examines what imperfections are, why they matter, how they influence structural behaviour, Structural analysis is often taught and presented as a clean, mathematical…
This article explains, in practical construction terms, why concrete cube tests frequently fail even when the specified grade appears correct.
This article examines how and why pile capacity is frequently controlled by construction rather than soil mechanics, and why engineers must treat piling
This article presents a detailed discussion of common types of concrete defects encountered in construction practice.
This article examines temporary works risks specific to precast concrete construction.
