As with the case of some in the past and many more these days, these dreams largely get unfulfilled. The population of people is more and… Read More Interview Skills – From Application to Employment
Storage Tanks One of the most prevalent structures in industrial facilities are storage tanks. These could be underground or above ground tanks made from concrete, steel and other suitable material. Literature for the design of concrete storage tanks is widely available. For the purpose of these discussions, above ground steel tanks alone shall be the… Read More Onshore Structural Design – Computer Aided Design of Above Ground Steel Storage Tank
What Horizontal Vessels Are Horizontal vessels are structures which contain and usually process fluids and span more in the horizontal direction. This class of vessels can be further characterized into two broad categories; horizontal vessels and heat exchangers. Heat exchangers are different from horizontal vessels in general by the dynamic manner with which they operate.… Read More Onshore Structural Design – Computer Aided Design of Horizontal Vessel Support

The structural design of onshore facilities is intricate due to the dependence of the structural engineer on experience, past projects, several internal/external stakeholders for parameters for the design and different codes of practice. For example, if an engineer is to design a vertical vessel, they will require the weight, wind load, bolt positions and size… Read More Onshore Structural Design – How to Design Each Facility Feature
Working smarter rather than harder alone is an approach civil and structural engineers need to imbibe to ensure productivity. The field of civil engineering is so broad and complex that an engineer every now and then has to make reference to their mental archives in search of information. Structural Analysis And Design, STAAD, is one… Read More Foundation Design – A Helpful Tools Tutorial
