I’m Fred, a graduate structural engineer with first class honours engineering degree from the University of Sydney with strong skills in Finite Element Analysis, 2D and 3D drafting, Australian Standard Interpretation and Excel VBA coding. I am proficient in structural analysis including establishing finite element models using Strand7 to simulate theoretical structural load resistance and deformation under a variety of different loads, ambience as well as geotechnical environment combinations. I authored thesis titled ‘Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Beams with Various Web Corrugations’. I completed key projects including Mid-rise Building Design, Sydney CBD Tower Design, and Bridge Condition Assessment at the university.✔𝐅𝐄𝐀: Skilled in using Strand 7 and ETABS to perform finite element analysis including structure model establishments, loading simulations and test result analysis to determine whether the structure has adequate resistance against all the forces so that inhabitants are safe inside the structure.✔𝟐𝐃 & 𝟑𝐃 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Skilled in AutoCAD to produce 2D and 3D engineering drawings including creating 3D AutoCAD drawings of the interested bridge with deteriorated defects to be viewed easily and to simplify the calculation process.✔𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Solid knowledge of clauses and terms listed in AS4100, AS4600, AS3600, AS1170, AS5100 and AS1720 to perform structural design and analysis with regards to distinct materials including steel, concrete, timber, and fibre reinforced polymer in order to satisfy the required minimum structural adequacy and rectify the adverse impacts brought by defects such as cracks.✔𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥 𝐕𝐁𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: Skilled in Excel Visual Basic to automate processes of engineering calculations including both the general excel spreadsheet functions and macros which would aid in the design process and save time by simply clicking one single button. Designed macros to obtain the excess pore water pressure in soils and the relative sediment of soil layers during university study.✔𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Proficient in hand calculation of different structural components including beams, columns, slabs, walls, and different foundation systems as well as different external loading patterns including wind force, seismic force, hydrostatic force, and reaction force which would be advantageous to have as a corroboration of the accuracy of the virtual structural analysis modelling.For more information, please email me at fredli2463@gmail.com.
