Construction of roads and asphalt pavements, key elements in critical infrastructure networks. 📍 Asphalt pavement construction considers preparing the subgrade, installing a base course, binder course, and wearing course. The subgrade is excavated and compacted, creating a stable base, followed by a base course of aggregates, and a binder course of larger aggregates mixed with asphalt. The wearing course consists of finer aggregates and asphalt, with the asphalt being used based on project requirements. 🎆Paving and compaction ensure a properly constructed surface. Quality control measures are implemented throughout, ending with a curing process, resulting in a durable and resilient asphalt pavement capable of withstanding traffic and environmental factors. 👨🏻‍🏫 Science principles, engineering, and technology are key for civil engineers when it come to design critical infrastructure

Regulations and Standards: 1. The Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates the quality of the nation’s water bodies. 2. The @National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program establishes pollution limits for anyone discharging into streams and lakes, including cities. 3. In Wisconsin, NPDES permits are issued by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) which identify performance standards and limits for things like peak flow, runoff volume, phosphorus, and total suspended solids. https://t.me/structuralengineerco

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤? Permeable pavement catches precipitation and surface runoff, storing it in the reservoir while slowly allowing it to infiltrate into the soil below or discharge through a subsurface drain. What are the Benefits of Permeable Pavement? 1. Reduces the amount of pollutants and runoff volume. 2. Helps in managing urban runoff which can cause floods, severe erosion damage to our stream channels, diminished recharge of groundwater, and degraded habitat for our fisheries. 3. It is a best management practice (BMP) that can alleviate the negative effects of urban runoff.

A Close Look at Dam Breach In a short video you can see a model representation of a small dam succumbing to an initially small leak. As minute as it may seem, this leak is enough to trigger a chain of events that lead to the dam's catastrophic failure.

Simple video shows how #railway #signalling safely increases the rail network capacity and enhance safety. ✅️Fixed block divides the track into sections, trains are not allowed to enter a section until it is clear. ✅️Moving block signalling, on the other hand, uses communications between the train and the signalling system to calculate a safe distance to the next train, allowing for more efficient use of track capacity. https://instagram.com/structuralengineer.co?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://t.me/structuralengineerco

Fires caused by electrical failures are very common in the industry. One of the causes is the occurrence of so-called electric arcs. Its temperature can reach several thousand degrees Celsius, which allows the melting of copper (melting point 1085°C) or aluminum (melting point 660°C). After the arc is formed, there is a sudden expansion of air (explosion) that throws molten metals up to several meters away. This is not only dangerous for people but can also cause a fire. Another hazard is the immense noise, which can damage hearing. https://instagram.com/structuralengineer.co?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://t.me/structuralengineerco
