Solution - Engineering
To adequately correct the condition of the building, a Structural and Geotechnical Engineer is required to determine strengths and applications of correcting remedial materials. If you do not have access to Engineer’s we can help you through our Engineering department.
Structural Engineer
Structural Engineering is a specialty of Civil Engineering that includes the design and analysis of structures and components. Structural Engineers are accomplished individuals that are capable of working with various materials including the common materials of concrete, steel, masonry and wood. The Structural Engineer also feels comfortable working with more exotic materials of aluminum, fiber reinforced composites and other materials.
The Structural engineer designs for forces from gravity, floor and equipment loads, wind, seismic and other forces.
Geoscientist
A geoscientist studies the earth, including its composition, structure and other physical aspects. A geoscientist's work might involve searching for natural resources like groundwater, metals and petroleum. Alternatively, a geoscientist may help environmental scientists clean up and preserve the environment. Someone working in this field may also be called a geologist or geophysicist.
Engineering geologists apply geological data, techniques, and principles to the study of rock and soil surficial materials and ground water; they investigate geologic factors that affect structures such as bridges, buildings, airports, and dams.
Dynamic Cone Penetration Test
In-situ penetration tests have been widely used in geotechnical and foundation engineering for site investigation in support of analysis and design. The dynamic cone penetration test (DCPT) is performed by dropping a hammer from a certain fall height and measuring a penetration depth per blow for each tested depth. This information provides the Engineer with sufficient data to properly design the project.
