This article explores the definition, procedure, types, advantages, and global adoption of IBS, along with the anticipated changes in Pakistan's construction landscape and opportunities for collaboration. Definition and Procedure of IBS: IBS involves the prefabrication ...
Safety is paramount to the civil engineering profession and a bedrock on which the public's trust that we hold so dear sits. I have no doubt of the ASCE's commitment to safety: Safety is a core element of the ASCE's mission: to Lead the civil engineering profession to sustainably advance and protect the health, safety, and welfare of all Safety is embodied in a number the ASCE's supporting policy statements. https://www.asce.org/advocacy/policy-statements Safety is at the core of the work of many of the technical committees and institutes.

Today, we are going to discuss top two invention in Bridge Engineering 2023. 1. Building Information Modeling (BIM) Building Information Modeling (BIM) is referred to as a process that connects architects, engineers, and construction (AEC) professionals more efficiently in the various stages of construction. With BIM technology, engineers and designers create 3-D models that include data ranging from the physical characteristics all the way to the functional characteristics of a building. This information engages architects, engineers, and construction professionals in a multi-disciplinary collaboration for better insight into the project they ...

One of the many benefits of attending an ASCE event, is the opportunity to check out the local sights. This year's Construction Institute Summit ( cisummit.org ) was held in St. Louis, offering no less than the Gateway Arch as an attraction. It was also here in the Midwest, where designer R. Buckminster Fuller found inspiration for his vision for affordable and efficient housing solutions as he spotted silos across the farmland. Fuller (1895-1983) is best described as a designer, inventor, and author, rather than an architect or engineer as we define those roles today. A recognized thinker of his time, he was ultimately awarded the Presidential ...

I haven’t attended an in-person conference since 2019. Covid really put a hold on most in-person events, especially large conferences. I am excited to attend two conferences over the next two months and thought I’d share some of my top conference tips with you. If you do anything that isn’t listed, I’d love to hear about it in the comments. 1-Research who is going Once I register for a conference, I message some work friends and past connections to see if they will be there. This gives you a chance to gameplan who you want to say hi to or take out for a meal. 2-Research the dress code Dress codes vary depending on region or purpose of the conference. ...
It is no secret that the cost of goods has increased dramatically over the past couple of years. Inflation has put a squeeze on my income and if you’re still breathing, I assume it has for you too. I paid $75 to fill up my little car with gas this week. I was very used to that costing $40 or less. My family of five used to spend about $700 each month on groceries to eat comfortably. This month we will spend $1,400 on groceries and our eating habits have not changed. Inflation has significantly impacted what and how much I can buy. I graduated in 2008. Since then, I’ve experienced many things beyond our control that impacted our financial situation. We can’t ...
