Structural Design Guidelines and Methodology

Posted on 19 June 202319 June 2023 by Omotoriogun Victor

This article outlines the process of modeling, analyzing, and designing buildings. It is mentioned that the analytical process needs to be rationalized, but not at the price of an economic design.

A Background to Assessing Floor Vibration

Posted on 12 June 202316 June 2023 by Omotoriogun Victor

The assessment of floor vibration concerns how the mass of its supporting structure moves when subjected to an imposed load. This is determined by ascertaining the natural frequency of the supporting structure to the floor, which is stated in Hz (cycles per second).

Designing a Combined Pile-cap to Eurocode 2 | Worked Example

Posted on 22 May 202322 May 2023 by Omotoriogun Victor

The justification for combining loads from two or more super-structural element typically stems from restrictions. For instance, where the columns are closely spaced such that independent pile caps are impossible to construct as a result of overlapping.

Engineering Ethics- Developing a Fee Proposal

Posted on 9 January 202311 January 2023 by Omotoriogun Victor

A fee proposal is an engineer’s ‘offer’ to undertake a predefined work for a defined fee and it is usually for the client to either accept or reject this offer. To give legal certainty to the offer, the following six items need to be defined in the proposal or an attached document.
