𝗗𝗲𝗺𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 - '𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙨' 💢 Our ‘Sound-Out Series’ aims to clear some of the confusion surrounding design and engineering terminology, a little at a time. One term that's often used is: 📑 Reaction Forces, i.e.: the ‘equal and opposite’ forces to action forces that will be imposed on the anchors. For a more in-depth definition, watch our Senior Design Engineer explain it in the video below:

AREMA TRACK ALIGNMENT DESIGN SEMINAR 1 (TADS 1) TADS 1 will be presented in conjunction with the 2024 AREMA Conference in Louisville, Ky. Gray Chandler will be presenting Module 10, Chambers Station. Gray, CSX Manager -Transportation Projects in the D&C Department Retired, had 36 years service with CSX and is one of the initial authors and presenters of TADS 1. He was appointed to head up and manage Conrail Integration Projects for CSX during the Conrail split. That project presented a wide range of challenges to both design, cost and schedule requiring creative solutions.   This module integrates track alignment design with special considerations for passenger platforms. This facility is in a mixed passenger and freight corridor, something we are seeing more often, adding additional complexity. This module explores both track geometry, and passenger and platform design.    Use the link to sign up https://lnkd.in/gVw9CHP7

This configuration is common in railway track alignment design today, especially when passenger and freight rail operations have to co-exist on the same track (shared use corridor), even if time-separated. This often occurs when new passenger operations are proposed for lines that have been freight-only for many years. The chief obstacle (literally) is the passenger trains need close clearance to the station platform so there's not a wide gap for the passengers to cross when boarding or leaving a train, but the freight trains need wider clearances for their equipment and the occasional oversize cargo; speed, curvature, grade, and superelevation are also considerations. This module shows and discusses track alignments that can resolve this challenge so the requirements of both operations are satisfied.

Creativity is required in all stages of the process, not just the design phase! Another great installation ⭐️⭐️

🚀 Exciting information in today’s post! 🚀 🔎 Have you ever wondered how engineers easily design members for different load combinations It is by using Force Envelopes! 📐 Read till the end and see the blog and Video as there is some thing we should not be doing with Force envelopes. ✨ What is a Force Envelope, you ask? It's a super imposition of all forces from different combinations that helps us understand the max and min values at one place and help us process forces easily, ensuring safety and efficiency. 💪 🏗️ From skyscrapers to airplanes, the Force Envelope helps us determine the maximum and minimum 🏢✈️ 🌠 Imagine being able to visualize the exact points where the forces on a structure are at their peak, like a blueprint of strength and resilience. The Force Envelope gives us this ability, helping us optimize designs and make informed decisions every step of the way. 🎯 🌟 However, there is something that you should not be doing with Force Envelopes when you are designing columns! 💡 All that in the blog and Video 👇🏽 https://lnkd.in/gBKCszc 💡 Let's embrace this fascinating concept and continue pushing boundaries together. Share your thoughts and experiences with the Force Envelope in the comments below – I'd love to hear your insights! 🌍 #ForceEnvelope #loadcombinations #structuraldesign
