Here's a photo of a custom formwork design by Berns Infrastructure being constructed inside a cofferdam for a US Army Corps project. These forms were used to construct pier nose extensions to divert river water around existing bridge piers. The extensions were constructed in 3 (vertical) lifts, with subgrade approximately 30' below the ground surface. The forms were designed to be reusable and consisted of 3/4" B-B plyform, 4x6 studs, and doubled steel channel wales. Perhaps the greatest challenge of this design was to accommodate non-standard angles in the extension wall face and a 45-degree inclination of the front of the nose. #formwork #infrastructure #construction #concrete #carpentry #heavycivil #concreteforms #engineering #constructionengineering #civilengineering #AGC #ASCE

Did you know? The roots of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) trace back to the early 20th century, gaining remarkable traction during World War II. Back then, the U.S. military leveraged prefabricated metal buildings for diverse purposes, including aircraft hangars and barracks. This wartime innovation not only accelerated construction timelines but also spotlighted the versatility and efficiency of PEBs in meeting urgent infrastructure demands. From that historical backdrop, PEBs have evolved into a cornerstone of modern construction, offering speed, cost-effectiveness, and durability.

Some Key facts about the bailey bridge. The Bailey bridge is a type of portable, pre-fabricated, truss bridge. Here are some key facts about the Bailey bridge used by armies worldwide: 1. The bridge is made up of prefabricated panels that can be quickly assembled in various configurations to span different distances and support different weights. This modular design allows for flexibility in construction and rapid deployment. This allows for rapid construction in diverse terrains and under challenging conditions. 2. Bailey bridges are typically constructed using steel components. The panels, transoms, and stringers are all designed to be light enough to be carried by a small group of soldiers or transported by trucks. 3. The bridge components are standardized and can be assembled using simple tools without the need for specialized equipment like cranes or heavy machinery. This allows for rapid construction in diverse terrains and under challenging conditions. 4. Despite their temporary nature, Bailey bridges are known for their durability and ability to withstand heavy loads. They have been used in various military conflicts and disaster relief operations around the world. 5. The Bailey bridge design has been widely adopted and adapted by many countries and organizations. It remains a key asset in military engineering and continues to be used in both military and civilian applications where rapid bridge construction is required. #bridgeengineering #steelstructure #structureengineering #civilengineering #indianarmy #kerela #engineering

Roman military fortifications: engineering marvels from 2000 Years Ago Roman construction engineering was extremely advanced, as demonstrated by the innovative techniques used for the creation of infrastructure and military fortifications. The Romans mastered the use of materials such as concrete, allowing them to build imposing walls and aqueducts that have endured for centuries. Their construction techniques included the use of arches and vaults, which effectively distributed weight, and the adoption of deep and robust foundations, ensuring stability even on difficult terrains. Military fortifications, such as city walls and castra (military camps), were precisely designed to withstand attacks, employing towers, moats, and reinforced gates. These achievements testify to a level of engineering expertise that has influenced architecture and engineering for millennia. What do you think? Were the Romans the best engineers of antiquity? 📹by @memorias_delpasado #engineering #technology #CivilEngineering #construction For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔 and select “All”

Webinar Opportunity | Engineering Guidance for Nature-Based Solutions Hosted by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Take a deeper dive into multiple aspects of engineering nature-based solutions (NBS) including performance of natural infrastructure and detailed case studies on riverine and coastal NBS. Participants will be connected with existing technical resources for engineers and exposed to recent progress in the development of engineering guidance for NBS. Case studies will explore and reinforce key aspects of engineering design for riverine and coastal systems in greater detail compared to the initial NBS overview webinar. Case studies will also examine hybrid systems in which NBS work together with conventional infrastructure systems.
