Bridges and overpasses are marvels of engineering. Yet, with time, fatigue issues in these structures can pose risks not just to the structure itself, but to the countless vehicles and pedestrians that rely on them every day. What goes into the assessment and remediation of such intricate structures, especially ones as crucial as the Gade Valley Viaduct? The challenges inherent in maintaining these monumental infrastructures require not just expertise, but a deep understanding of the structures themselves. Issues, once identified, need immediate and effective solutions to ensure continued safety and operation. We're honoured to have Joanna Bonnett, Vice President at COWI, delve into these challenges at our upcoming webinar. She will be presenting alongside her colleague, Kyriakos Antoniou. 🎙️ Presentation Topic: "Gade Valley Viaduct: A Case Study of Assessment and Remediation of Fatigue" Get insights into the fatigue issues identified in the ring frames of the Gade Valley multispan box girder viaduct. From the discovery of the fatigue issue to the intricate processes adopted for its remediation, dive deep into this comprehensive case study. About Joanna Bonnett: An expert in the design, check, and assessment of bridge projects, Joanna has led key projects like the Gade Valley Viaduct and Erskine Bridge. As a Chartered Civil and Structural Engineer, and Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), she brings with her a wealth of knowledge from her work on existing bridges. Joanna’s technical papers have shed light on the unique challenges and opportunities present in bridge engineering. Embrace the chance to learn from a leader in bridge assessment and design. Join us for this enlightening session.

I love this paper from Nick and Esther Norton and the concept of the new-model engineer. Although it is focussed on the education of engineering students I think there is a lot we can all learn from the thinking. I would challenge everyone to consider what skills and mindsets they need to break out of their bounded rationality or at least explore how it restricts your thinking. Have a read here - https://lnkd.in/e-H2c4gH
I am very excited to share a new paper, exploring how we should educate civil engineers in the twenty-first century, and introducing the concept of the “new-model” engineer. The paper, which I co-authored with Esther Norton, has been published in the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). It is now featured on their brand new mission page, and has been made free to read until the end of January 2024. Download it here: https://lnkd.in/ehareweV I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we should educate the next generation of engineers, so that they are equipped to tackle the myriad challenges of the future. Huge thanks to Oliver Broadbent, James Norman, Janet Greenwood FICE, Mike Sefton, Will Arnold, Chris Wise, Tim Ibell, Paul Hulbert, Ollie Hart, the Department of Civil & Structural Engineering at The University of Sheffield, and all the other people who have inspired and supported me in developing the concepts in the paper.

🌟🌟 What does it take to shape the future of civil engineering? Just ask Elizabeth Ruedas, PE and Isamar E. Their dedication has propelled them to remarkable heights. Elizabeth, a surface water project manager at Michael Baker International, made history as one of the youngest members to serve on the ASCE Board of Direction. Isamar, now a civil engineer with the Federal Highway Administration, has followed in her footsteps, bringing fresh perspectives and energy to the table. Their journey from college pals to influential leaders underscores the millennial takeover in civil engineering. As Elizabeth and Isamar put it, it's not just about filling roles but celebrating achievements and investing in leadership development. Which makes a current civil engineering student like myself excited for the future. But what truly sets Elizabeth and Isamar apart is their commitment to paving the way for young members to make an impact. They're not just sitting at the table; they're actively advocating for the inclusion of younger voices in decision-making processes. Through their tireless efforts, they've helped implement changes in ASCE's bylaws, ensuring that younger members have a seat at the table and a voice in shaping the future of the profession. I hope to be able to be in one of these seats someday and do my part. Their impact extends far beyond the boardroom. They've mentored countless young engineers, inspiring them to pursue leadership roles and make a difference in their communities. Their dedication to fostering the next generation of civil engineering leaders is evident in every initiative they undertake, from supporting student outreach programs to championing diversity and inclusion efforts. It's clear that Elizabeth and Isamar's dedication, passion, and leadership are driving positive change. As ASCE President Marsia Geldert-Murphey rightly puts it, they embody the qualities of capable, compassionate, and strong leaders. Let's celebrate Elizabeth and Isamar for their inspiring journey and unwavering commitment to shaping the future of civil engineering! 🚀 #asce #engineeringleaders #inspiration #civilengineering #diversityinstem #changemakers

Prof. (Dr) Anusha Shah is the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)' 159th President. In her first official address last week, Anusha shared the theme for her presidential year. "My presidential year will be about how we become a nature and people-positive profession at heart.. Our infrastructure needs to interact with nature in a way which is restorative and regenerative, rather than extractive." Read more and watch Anusha's full video here: https://lnkd.in/e6xKqR-J

I'm thrilled to share my completion of the Road Design project during my third semester of the Associate Degree in Civil Engineering. This project involved using the 12d modeling program to design a rural road, including detailing an intersection, cul-de-sac, road widening, superelevation, and services pipeline. I also calculated earthworks volumes and adjusted the model to achieve an earthworks balance. Working on this project was a highlight of my academic journey, and I'm eager to gain more experience with 12d and apply it in the industry. #CivilEngineering #RoadDesign #12dModeling

MS Business Student at Texas A&M University | Civil Engineering Graduate | Brockman Scholar | Joining the Business Management and Communication Skills and the Engineering Technical Expertise to Excel in Site Development
With the heavy rain in College Station last week, many students were asking; “why are there so many puddles on the roads and parking lots when it rains?” The answer lies in our drainage systems. Most weren’t designed recently and we’re getting more rain now nation-wide than we have in the past 25 years! Pavement settles and warps over time and systems get outdated. You may be wondering "why don't we just update them?" Well, the answer is centered around the business idea of value creation. Let’s look at public infrastructure. The department of transportation in any state is working on a fixed budget and must decide which projects to pursue. What’s better, shutting down a mile-long stretch of a busy FM road so that it doesn’t have puddles when it rains, or adding an overpass to a congested intersection? Which will generate more value? These are decisions that get made every day. Similar questions get asked in the private sector, too! Driving through rain puddles on an overcast school day provides the grounds to illustrate just how the civil engineering and construction industries are affected by business concepts!

Did you know Texas has the second-most bridges in the United States after California? 30% of which do not have sufficient height, width or capacity to handle the increasing volume and type of traffic using them. With a nearly $1 million state grant in hand, Nur Yazdani, a civil engineering professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, will spend the next three years applying non-destructive evaluation methods on some of Texas' many deteriorating bridges to determine which spans require the most attention and how to best carry out repairs https://hubs.ly/Q02bSlZY0 #NDT #BridgeRepair
