This article takes a direct position: if uplift governs, bearing capacity becomes irrelevant beyond equilibrium.
This article explores the effect of contractual terms and liability in engineering professional appointments
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 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.
This article examines the technical causes of failure in freestanding walls, retaining walls, motorway signage, vehicle barriers, lighting columns, cantilever masts, and tower crane foundations.
This article explores the planning, design considerations and construction requirements of vertical cantilever structures.
