Overview of load paths and how they change during demolition and temporary works projects. Proper consideration of load paths is crucial for stability and safety.
Topics covered:
Definition of load paths - the routes forces take through a structure to the foundations
Case study: Altering a tower structure and maintaining stability by redirecting loads
Example of bridge lift: Reversed loading and changed material capacities
Key principles: Understand the structure, demolition sequence, and resulting load path changes
Applying engineering knowledge to design appropriate temporary works
This webinar demonstrates how civil and structural engineers analyze load paths and account for changes during construction and demolition works. Understanding the load path is vital for stability of temporary structures. Insightful examples of real projects show how load redistribution applies in practice.
For civil and structural engineering students and professionals interested in demolition, refurbishment and temporary works design.
