One-Day Seminar
Registration
& .... ......(8:00 A.M - 4.00 P.M.)
- Opening statement and remarks.
Forensic engineering & engineering accident reconstruction.A general discussion of what is Forensic engineering and engineering accident investigation. Sample case studies of forensic engineering in different fields. Sample computer animation for courtroom presentation. The general fundamental of engineering accident investigation and working the scene of the accident. Photographing, video graphing, taking measurement and collecting evidence from the scene of the accident. Product liability, failure analysis, vehicle, truck and train accidents.
..................... Break..............................( 5 minutes)
- Rebuilding new Orleans New case
The recovery of New Orleans from the devastation brought by Hurricane Katrina will take years, if not decades. But before long-term solutions can be implemented, immediate repairs are needed to protect New Orleans from the future hurricane season.
..................... Break..............................( 5 minutes)
- Roof Structure Collapse. Video clips presentation and discussion of roof collapse in an indoor stadium in Kansas
- Construction accidents caused by overload. Video Clip presentation of the walkway collapse accident at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City Missouri, roof collapse of Sampoon Department store in South Korea and wedge failure in a lift slab method in Lambiance Plaza in Bridgeport Connecticut.
............... Break, tea & coffee.......................( 5 minutes)
- Snoohvit Arctic Gas Processing platform New case
Snoohvit is Europe's first liquefied natural gas plant, constructed on a gargantuan floating platform the size of two soccer fields. While it was built in the port of Cadisz in southern Spain, the plant's final destination is the icy waters off the coast Norway – nearly 2,500 miles away. In order to make the trip, the plant will have to be loaded onto a massive transport barge.
Watch as the gigantic plant is slowly loaded onto the submerged barge, then lifted out of the water and prepared for the grueling, cross-globe trip. Follow Snoohvit as it makes its way across the stormy Bay of Biscay and the world's most congested shipping lane, the English Channel, up into the North Sea. Finally, discover how workers pull off the most delicate maneuver of all: removing the plant from the transport vessel and carefully positioning it squarely in the midst of a vast dry-dock that's been cut out of a remote arctic island.
..................... Break..............................( 5 minutes)
- Bridge accidents. Video clips presentation of structural failure of a bridge in New York caused by improper bridge construction. Structural failure and collapse of the Silver Bridge in West Virginia caused by crack corrosion.
.......... Lunch Break......( lunch will be provided)......12:00 P.M-12:30
- Sakalin Oil & Ice. New case
Watch one of the world's largest, most involved construction projects – the sprawling Sakhalin oil and gas complex, located on a remote island off the eastern coast of Russia. The Russians are pouring billions into this city-sized operation – designed to suck fossil fuel from a frigid corner of the Pacific Ocean – with the hope that it will provide a needed boost to the region's economy. Watch one of the most ambitious construction plans of our time.
..................... Break..............................( 5 minutes)
- Industrial fires and plant explosion. New case
Video clips and animation of some of the recent plant explosions in US. What caused it and how did it happened plus Phillips plant explosion in the ship channel in Houston, Texas.
..................... Break..............................( 5 minutes)
- Sky Walkers; Engineers and construction workers at high elevations; Video clips presentation of engineers and construction workers working at hair-raising altitudes pushing the limits of safety beyond imagination. From repairing the radio antennas, to changing the bulb on top of the Empire Estates or construction of the new AOL building in New York.
..................... Break..............................( 5 minutes)
- Building the USS Truman. New case
Take a comprehensive, insider's look at the aircraft carriers of today's United States Navy. Marvel as a mind-boggling array of workers, materials and technologies combine to create an aircraft carrier right before your eyes. Exclusive footage captures the building of the USS Truman – from the moment the ship is conceived to its delivery to a jubilant Navy crew.
