Editor's Notes
- Snapshot of the projects I have worked on and will try to cover in this presentation
- Became very familiar with the ASCE 113 design manual and ACSE 7 wind and earthquake maps
- This was also great practice for consistently being able to reference any equations or values used.
- Checking TRC calculations on sag and wire tensions Went to Dale st to get measurements with the laser level Then will have to back calculate based on the temperature to find the actual tension
- Example of the many Flood Insurance Rate Map or FIRMettes taken from the FEMA.gov website - Houghs Neck Substation
- Riverside Substation Sometimes FEMA could not locate an address, The solution to that was to go to yahoo or google maps and try streets or cities that were close. Even if you got a fema map on the first try you still had to locate the street since it did not center it on the map.
- Final Result
- Learned how to use AASHTO Codes Ended up using swamp mats for final design (next slide)
- Learned to use the Civil Engineering reference manual and jumping back and forth between that and the AISC Steel Construction manual
- Have seen outputs from STAAD in the past, but this was the first time really using it, the design by TRC was found to be adequate First opportunity to work with aluminum construction Also had the chance to visit Lynn between as-built and precon meetings
- Perry St needed a better fencing system to prevent future break-ins and thefts Learned to communicate with contractors, such as Citiworks. Went to the site to show them exactly what fences would need securamesh. got involved in the PO process
- Used a previous excel sheet, checked/modified it for this project
- This was a strategy for checking the excel sheet the results are accurate
- Previously mentioned for Worthen st., making a more elaborate and universal slab design excel sheet
- As an engineer I need to learn to step back and think of alternate solutions that may not be so common
