About
I am a specialized Structural Designer focused on the analysis and design of reinforced concrete infrastructures. I provide reliable, code-compliant, and constructible solutions for bridges, buildings, and complex foundation systems.
My approach combines rigorous structural analysis with practical engineering logic to ensure structural integrity while optimizing material usage.
Core Areas of Expertise:
1. Bridge Design:
Design of reinforced concrete bridges (Slab, T-Beam, Box Girder).
Analysis of moving loads and traffic interactions.
Compliance with AASHTO standards for highway and pedestrian bridges.
2. Reinforced Concrete Buildings:
Design of gravity and lateral load resisting systems (Shear walls, Moment frames).
Seismic analysis and detailing for ductility.
3. Foundation Engineering:
Design of shallow foundations (Spread footings, Combined footings).
Deep foundations and pile caps for high-load scenarios.
Mat foundations and soil-structure interaction analysis.
Technical Toolkit:
Analysis Software: SAP2000, CSI Bridge, ETABS, MIDAS Civil.
Codes: ACI (American Concrete Institute), AASHTO, AISC.
Whether you need a complete structural design for a building or a specific calculation for a bridge component, I deliver precise engineering backed by solid analysis.
