Damage in Concrete Structures Due To Natural and Human-Imposed Conditions!!

In this episode, Maithili Ghadge, podcast host, talks with Raghavendra. Raghavendra Vasudeva Upadhyaya (Rag) has completed his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Civil Engineering from Central Queensland University, Australia and demonstrated significant experience as a project facilitator in the highly complex private and public-sector environment. Over the years, Rag has worked in several leadership roles where he has honed his technical competencies in structural design and project management at the interface of advanced engineering. In this episode, Rag will be discussing an innovative and sustainable mineral-based composite bonder that can be used for FRP-concrete rehabilitation. Raghavendra talks about the damage in concrete due to natural and human imposed conditions, reconstruction and rehabilitation, the current state of the art for concrete structures, and the FRP technique. He also shares some insights on his research about concrete damage. Tune in to learn more on this and other exciting topics! Timestamps [00:43] Damaging concrete structures due to natural and human imposed conditions [02:50] Reconstruction and rehabilitation, which one is better for a structural life period? [04:45] Current state of the art for concrete structures [07:54] The FRP technique [13:15] Raghavendra’s research on concrete damage [16:59] Raghavendra’s conclusion <h2>Quotes</h2> ● Concrete has played a big role in the construction industry for more than 25 decades. ● Concrete is vulnerable and susceptible to damage. Its materials properties will be superior initially but deteriorate over time. ● As civil and structural engineers, we are responsible for thinking about innovative and sustainable strategies to develop and build concrete structures. ● Aramid fibres are used in the making of bulletproofs. It is a tough and strong fibre re-enforced fibres. <h2>Resource links</h2> <a href="https://www.witpress.com/Secure/elibrary/papers/9781845640323/9781845640323005FU1.pdf">Environmental deterioration of concrete</a> <a href="https://theconstructor.org/concrete/6-major-causes-of-concrete-damage/559967/">Causes of concrete damage</a>

Offshore Engineering and Its Importance!!

In this episode, Maithili Ghadge, podcast host, talks with Aditya Narote, a post-graduate structural engineer and graduate civil engineer. He is an Offshore Structural Engineer at Cybermarine. As an Offshore structural engineer for over two years, Aditya is responsible for checking the structural integrity and performing finite element analysis of structures. Aditya talks about offshore structures. He explains the different types of offshore structures, the rules for offshore structures designing, loads considered for analysis, and the different types of analysis in offshore structures. He also shares some insights on structures present on superstructures and how offshore structures are installed. Tune in to learn more on this and other exciting topics! Timestamps [00:41] The definition and different types of offshore structures [05:24] Rules for offshore structures designing [06:18] Loads considered for analysis and the different types of analysis in offshore structures [13:34] Structures present on superstructures and how offshore structures are installed [14:37] Aditya Narote’s conclusion <h2>Quotes</h2> ● The structures used for the exploration of oil and gas through drilling and mining are called offshore structures. ● Basically, the material used to construct offshore structures is steel due to its high yield, ease in fabrication, and versatile behaviour. ● In analysis, when the structure is installed, it undergoes different types of loading, to mention, environmental and vibration loading. ● Kinetic energy should be absorbed by the structures so that the stiffness of the structures is sufficient. <h2>Resources links</h2> <a href="https://www.cybermarine.net/singapore/">https://www.cybermarine.net/singapore/</a> <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/offshore-structure">https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/offshore-structure</a>

Importance of Site Experience for Civil and Structural Engineering!!

In this episode, Maithili Ghadge, podcast host, talks with Sairam, a reputable and experienced detail-oriented structure engineer with expertise in analyzing survey reports, providing accurate site analysis, structural planning, blueprints, and drawings. He has led some of the best structural engineering companies among them is the PMI Engineers Group based in Sydney, Australia. The company is well known for its excellent architectural works both in the country and internationally. PMI Group has also specialized in mechanics and structural dynamics. Sairam describes what a typical day of a site engineer looks like. He also highlights the necessary qualities that a fresher site engineer should have and insights into the major things that a site engineer should work on to perfect his/her profession. Saira also talks about the obstacles that a site engineer could encounter in the field and how to deal. Finally, he gives enlightenment on the significance of a site engineer in the construction field. Tune in to learn more about this and other exciting topics!
