Halls River BridgeIn this episode of The Structural Engineering Channel podcast, we talk to Steven Nolan, P.E., a bridge engineer at the Florida Department of Transportation. Steven talks about the Halls River Bridge project (HRB project), which is a project that was recently constructed in Florida that displayed 12 items that were the first of a kind for a bridge. Many of these firsts were related to new and innovative materials and technology.

Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Steven in This Episode:

  • Can you provide us with an overview of the Halls River Bridge project?
  • Could you please tell us about the funding of the project?
  • Was it mostly the Hybrid-Composite Beams (HCB) that were used during the replacement, or were carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and stirrups also used?
  • What are the advantages of using CFRP and GFRP instead of the epoxy coating rebar?
  • From a design perspective, what does using a new material entail?
  • Are you expecting maintenance on this type of bridge?
  • What were the construction challenges you had on this project?

Here Are Some of the Key Points Discussed About the Halls River Bridge Project:

The Engineering Management Institute to Launch The Structural Engineering Podcast

May 29, 2019 By Anthony Fasano

The Structural Engineering Podcast

Structural engineering, like most engineering industries, is constantly evolving with technical guidelines, new techniques, and updated standards.  There are also new and exciting structural engineering projects being completed every day worldwide.

This niche industry deserves its own podcast to cover these issues, and therefore the Engineering Management Institute (EMI) is excited to be launching The Structural Engineering Podcast (TSEP).  TSEP will cover items including but not limited to performance-based design, fasteners and connections, post-tensioned structures, smart structures, tsunami modeling, software solutions, seismic design, blast resistant design, wood, business issues, professional development for structural engineers, how to specify things effectively, and many more topics.

The podcast will be sponsored by Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) and we are grateful for their support.  (CSI) Computers and Structures, Inc. is recognized globally as the pioneering leader in software tools for structural and earthquake engineering. Software from CSI is used by thousands of engineering firms in over 160 countries for the design of major projects.
