Design of Steel Trusses to Eurocode 3

Posted on 6 December 20216 December 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

Many problems of long spanning in structural engineering can be resolved through the use of steel trusses. These days, long span structures are very popular– from sport arena roofs to auditorium galleries, airport terminals, railway stations etc….

Geotechnical Design of Spread Foundations to EC 7

Posted on 22 November 202122 November 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

A properly designed foundation must deliver these loads to the soil without overstressing the soil which could otherwise cause excessive settlement or shear failure of the bearing soil. In-order to avoid overstressing the soil geotechnical engineers and structural engineers must determine the bearing capacity of the soil upon which the structure is to be founded.

Structural Design of Piled Foundation: Example

Posted on 8 November 20218 November 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

The design of piled foundation unlike other foundation types largely falls within the remit of a geotechnical engineer with little assistance from the structural engineer. The first step requires the geotechnical team to conduct a detailed site investigation

Geotechnical Design of Concrete Piles to EC7 | Worked Example

Posted on 1 November 202120 August 2023 by Omotoriogun Victor

For projects that requires deep foundations, the piles would be one of the first considerations at the concept design stage. The structural designer is expected to consider during the course of the project development, the type of piling that would be required, the proposed sizes

Design and Detailing of Lintels in Masonry Walls

Posted on 25 October 202024 October 2024 by Omotoriogun Victor

A significant opening within masonry walls will always require a lintel of some sort to bridge over it. In contrast to popular opinion, lintels are structural elements though classified as secondary structural elements whose primary function is to support the masonry that arches over the opening

Design and Detailing of Column Base Plates

Posted on 17 August 20207 September 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Column base plates are provided beneath steel columns in order to transmit the applied design forces safely to the foundations. Steel columns are heavily loaded and their cross-sections are typically small…….

The Truth About Concealed Concrete Beams

Posted on 31 July 20206 August 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Concealed concrete beams are beams whose depth are kept equal to the thickness of the supported slab. They are normally reinforced separately from the slab, having longitudinal bars and stirrups like a drop beam.
