Steel design and examples in construction

I've enjoyed taking both construction engineering and steel design courses this semester, learning how steel is made and used in structures, and then how the members are chosen as well as the shape and connection design/method. 

In construction engineering class, I learned about common construction methods, terminology, and materials used, basically getting a very solid general understanding of everything that goes into construction. During a Revit project, I saw the big picture of steel beams and a steel deck making up the frame of a concept high school, and chose the correct size and dimensions from directions. 

And then in steel design class, we went over all the calculations and aspects you need to acknowledge to follow the steel code in order to design all the steel members used in construction, including steel beams like used in the concept high school above. We design members with constraints shown in the next image, with actual cases maybe looking something like the last picture:

Recycling plastic in concrete

 I love to see when engineers can be more efficient and sustainable while still providing nearly as high of quality products. I hope that civil engineers continue to push for more sustainable design in both material and structure. I learned about the concept of plastic roads made from recycling materials a few years ago (pictured below) and thought it was awesome how it could reduce waste, shorten installation and shutdown time, provide practical drainage, and reduce heats effects with different color to in turn increase lifespan. I was disappointed to learn there's some issues right now, like with strength when semi's or heavy equipment use them, but there is some use of them starting in different areas .  It is cool to hear that recylced plastic for use in structural concrete is a practical idea, and is being researched at Mines by Prof. Reza Heyadat and also at MIT - Students fortify concrete with plastic .

Green building modifications

 With more emphasis being put on the sustainability of structures, engineers and designers have to look at innovative ways of greening up buildings. Finding more sustainable material sources, including recycled plastic in structural concrete mix like I talked about in a previous post, is important and can make a difference. But we can get more out of the building space and finding effective, aesthetic ways of lowering the environmental impact and increasing sustainability. One option is to introduce more green rooftops. I've notice recently that many rooftops of flat buildings, primarily commercial and industrial buildings, are covered in gravel, which is done to protect the roof material and also weigh it down to keep everything on there . But this can also be done by using the power of plant roots and building green roofs. Instead of wasting the space, roofs can be made into gardens, and provide the same protection of the roofing materials with dirt, gravel, and plant roots. This...

Helicopters in construction

Image
 While working on a mock construction project scheduling assignment for a theoretical Denver Winter Olympics ski resort, I learned that helicopters are actually regularly used in construction for large structure transport. Even if these projects do not happen often, ski resorts sometimes rely on helicopters to move the large, sometimes 100+ foot tall ski lift towers into the resort, onto the slope, and into place along the lift line.  With learning about a lot of the heavy equipment used on construction projects, like cranes and excavators, it is awesome to learn about the aerial equipment that is sometimes necessary to get structures standing up. Below are two of the common types of helicopters used for these complex installations. (video of tower removal)
