Verified the stability and integrity of structures in accordance with relevant international codes. Ensured a safe transfer of forces across various structural elements through the design of base plate steel-to-concrete and steel-to-steel connections, adhering to applicable codes and standards. Utilized forces and stresses obtained from analysis models to create these connections. Prevented conflicts and clashes during the project lifecycle by modeling structures in 3D and drafting 2D drawings, sections, layouts, and details using Revit and AutoCAD, while effectively communicating with engineering trades such as mechanical, electrical, and architectural.
● Evaluated the structural behavior and design response under diverse conditions by developing analysis models of structural systems through software applications like SAP2000, ETABS, and STAAD Pro.
● Ensured timely preparation and delivery of technical documents, Bills of Quantities (BOQs), methods of measurement, and specifications, providing valuable support to key stakeholders.
● Mitigated potential delays and setbacks in the initial design stage by recommending an integrated structural system and coordinating with other engineering trades.
