??? Upcoming Webinar: Engineering Solutions to Real World Anchor Problems | Sponsored by DEWALT ACI318 Chapters 17 and 25 set specific standards for the design and evaluation of post-installed anchors and rebar. While these standards benefit the industry, real-world applications sometimes fall outside the code approvals. In this educational session, DEWALT will review anchor qualifications within ACI355.2 and ACI355.4, presenting real-world scenarios that fall outside the limits and the innovative solutions developed in collaboration with design professionals and contractors. This is a must-attend for engineers seeking practical insights and solutions for challenging situations using engineering judgment backed by in-house, site, and independent testing. ??

How do you build stadiums for major global events without leaving behind an environmental burden? The solution lies in smart design strategies like Design for Disassembly (DfD). Stadium 974, used for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, showcases an innovative approach. As the first fully demountable stadium of its kind, it prioritizes modularity, transportability, and reusability, drastically reducing embodied carbon emissions. By embracing circular economy principles, structural engineers can create facilities that are adaptable, sustainable, and future-proof. ??Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gfxdYypH #SustainableDesign #StructuralEngineering #CircularEconomy

In the pursuit of innovation, The Artise project in Bellevue, WA, set a new standard for office building design. Faced with site constraints, seismic upgrades, and an ambitious parking requirement, the engineering team stepped away from conventional methods to deliver a solution that saved at least 25% in material costs. By employing a unique mix of buckling restrained braces and fluid viscous dampers, the structure achieved both efficiency and stability, maximizing space while minimizing foundation demands. This project is a testament to what can be achieved when design challenges are embraced rather than avoided. ??

Exciting developments in Boston as Stantec has been selected to redesign White Stadium into a premier venue for the city's new National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) team! ? This project not only revitalizes a historic landmark designed by Frederick Law Olmsted but also transforms it into a community resource. The renovations will include a grandstand with seating for 10,000, new mixed-use spaces for food and beverages, and an event lawn called “The Grove” for various community activities. Stantec’s commitment to preserving the art deco fa?ade and Franklin Park’s natural heritage demonstrates a thoughtful approach to modern design. With construction slated for completion by March 2026, this initiative promises to enhance both local sports and community engagement. ??Read the article: https://lnkd.in/e-t8BkJY #NWSL #UrbanRevitalization #CommunityEngagement
