Erosion Control Primer: Stay in Harmony with Nature
(Credit: Dropshots) The natural environment exists in a state of slow, but steady, change, and the same forces that shape the earth inevitably impact any infrastructure built on it. In earth science, erosion results from surface processes that move soil, rock and dissolved material from one place to another. Although erosion is a natural occurrence existing wherever soil conditions and climatic instigators collide, frequently the built environment is a compounding force that accelerates th...
Future Forward: GIS and Digital Twins are Crucial Building Blocks for Renewing U.S. Infrastructure
It’s no longer outside the realm of possibility to see through the ground itself. Augmented reality is bringing utilities and other companies with underground assets closer to realizing that age-old wish via a digital twin of their infrastructure. These replicas exist to display what physically sits mostly “out of sight and out of mind” as well as create a new and ideal reality. The digital twin monitors assets and activities in real time and also can explore and predict future conditions throug...

From the Editor: Engineers’ Concerns Have Only Multiplied Since the Pandemic

What will we as engineers do in this next decade that will make a positive impact on our way of life and environment?” This was just before the pandemic officially arrived; I didn’t know we would also have to deal with that. Duri...
ReEngineering the Engineer: Do You Hear What I Mean?
We’re working on a project that involves the demolition of a multi-story existing building with new construction going back in its place. The programming of the new building requires elevator shafts adjacent to the building that remains. Not only will there be an existing basement wall that remains, but construction of the new elevators requires a 5-foot undercut for the elevator pits, plus another 4 feet for a mat foundation. And (of course) the basement walls to remain are braced by the buildi...
