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
This article sets out a structured approach to the structural design of jetties and marine platforms, focusing on actions, analysis, member verification, and durability within a Eurocode-based framework
Establishing a clear scope, sticking to it, and documenting departures carefully remain some of the most effective forms of professional risk management. In complex projects, clarity protects not only the engineer, but the entire project team.
This article explores the effect of contractual terms and liability in engineering professional appointments
This article examines the I-90 Tunnel collapse as a methodological failure rather than a singular technical mistake. It explores how design assumptions, specification gaps, material behaviour, organisational fragmentation, and missed warning signs aligned over time.
This article explains crane safety in practical terms. It describes common crane types, how they work, and the main risks involved.
Eurocodes have changed how pile loads are presented and how pile resistances are designed. The UK Federation of Piling Specialists developed the E-Pile Schedule to meet these new requirements. This article explains the benefits of using a standard pile schedule for Eurocode design.
This article examines how MMC restructures professional indemnity risk for designers. It explains the mechanisms through which liability expands, rather than listing abstract concerns.
This article examines how second-generation Eurocode 2 facilitates assessment of existing reinforced concrete structures.
The inspection and repair of cantilever stone staircases require methodical approaches that respect the historic fabric. Early assessment of structural behavior, potential failure mechanisms, and previous repairs is vital.
