Smaller diameter piers have been used in non-collapsing soils. The two-step design procedure includes: (1) determination of overall pier size, and (2) detailed design of concrete pier element itself. Emphasis is on the former which involves interaction between soil and pier. Construction methods...

The project discussed herein is a marine transfer station planned for construction at East 91st Street along the East River in Manhattan. In order to support the piers and platform structures at a site with relatively shallow depth of the bedrock, rock sockets were required for the drilled ...
There have been plans for the station to be modernised and rebuilt, or even demolished completely, as part of the town’s Big Town Plan. The demolition of the station would mean the town would not have a central bus terminus and would instead use smaller sites on the town’s Park and ...
Many innovative approaches have been proposed to address marine concrete structures' global durability and sustainability challenges. This special issue is dedicated to the latest developments and advances in research and practical applications to facilitate the sustainable design, construction, and maintenance...
During construction, the pile foundation, turntable, and piers are first completed. Brackets are then erected along the railway direction, followed by concrete pouring for the main girder. Afterward, the beams are rotated into their designated positions, and the turntable is sealed with concrete. ...

Completed an apprenticeship and became a plumber/pipefitter with Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local 761. Began construction career at 18 after working full time from the age of 16. By 20, addressed a welfare conference at Georgetown University urging social workers to tell single mothers on welfa...
Single piles such as sign-posts and lamp-posts and pile groups that support bridge piers and offshore construction operations are constantly subjected to significant natural lateral loads (such as wind loads and wave actions) (Figure 8.1). Lateral loads can be also introduced on piles due to ar...
construction. This is because it is light-weight, low-cost, durable and sustainable. For example,EDGE Suedkreuzin Germany is one of our landmark timber projects. This hybrid structure features timber throughout the design. The wooden interior is cost effective, low carbon and visually appealing....
