the highest. Failures are encountered on construction sites and are not just confined to the collapse of structures. Deaths and injuries to construction workers by far exceed the number of fatalities of the bridge users in failure events. Structural design methods related to construction loads and equipment need to be refined. Physical causes are varied such as erosion‚ reversal of stress‚ impact‚ vibra-tions‚ wind‚ and extreme events. Usually‚ it is a combination of dead load stress

infrastructure on the lines of biomimicking principles requires the development of highly advanced structural systems which has the qualities of aesthetic expression‚ structural efficiency and most importantly geometric versatility. Diagrids‚ the latest mutation of tubular structures‚ have an optimum combination of the above qualities. In this paper‚ the peculiarities of the Diagrid‚ its structural behavior under loading and the design and construction of diagrid nodes are described. A case study

each other and the horizontal rings at a single node. The members combine to create an element similar to a moment frame. In a Diagrid structure‚ gravity and lateral loads are resisted by all of the members‚ creating efficiency and large amounts of structural redundancy. A Diagrid structure effectively creates a rigid shell which can be thought of as a very thin‚ deep beam. Some noteworthy examples of buildings that have the Diagrid incorporated are The Swiss Re building in London known as The Gherkin

At this point I had almost decided that structuralengineering was the career for me . From there the class just took off: Wewent on to frames‚ distributed loads‚ considered friction; basically we wereincorporating real world considerations into structural members . I loved thepractical‚ problem solving aspects of the field . At UC my classes were even more advanced . In my analysis and designclasses‚ I especially enjoyed studying steel design because we not onlylearned the use of the load resis

Question1 The type of foundation used to support a building is dependent on the type of in-situ soil‚ the bearing pressure of that soil and the loads imposed by the structure on the soil. The Building regulations state that the minimum depth to the underside of a strip found is 0.45 for frost protection and this should be extended to 0.75 in clay soils‚ largely due to the water retention in these materials ( Osbourn and Greeno 2007). This depth is also required to protect the foundation from seasonal
