Experienced Structural Engineer educated in an extensive field of structures, heavy and light, in various structural materials. I possess a good understanding of today’s market design changes. I reply to technical questions quickly and recognize good engineering opportunities to adjust to existing designs to make them fit for purpose. I'm well-versed in Structural Engineering, High Rise Structures, Earthquake Engineering, and Bridge Engineering.Skilled in most design analysis software such as ETABS, SAP2000, SAFE, TEKLA TEDDS, CSICols, CSIBridge, IDEA StatiCa, FORTE, etc. Ample experience in basic structural engineering and capable of providing highly detailed structural engineering designs, plans, and specifications. Excellent in AutoCAD and have been using it for 16 years now.My basic skills are:• analyzing configurations of the basic structural components of a building or other structure;• calculating the pressures, stresses, and strains that each component, such as a beam or lintel, will experience from other parts of the structure due to human use or environmental pressures such as weather or earthquakes;• considering the strength of various materials, e.g. timber, concrete, steel, and brick, to see how their inclusion may necessitate a change of structural design;• liaising with other designers, including architects, to agree on safe designs and their fit with the aesthetic concept of the construction;• examining structures at risk of collapse and advising how to improve their structural integrity, such as recommending removal or repair of defective parts or rebuilding the entire structure;• making drawings, specifications and computer models of structures for building contractors;• working with geotechnical engineers to investigate ground conditions and analyze results of soil sample and in-situ tests;• liaising with construction contractors to ensure that newly erected buildings are structurally sound;• applying expert knowledge of the forces that act on various structures;• using CAD technology for simulation purposes.At JMVC CSE, our designs and projects are unique for many reasons. Having handled over 700 projects worldwide (Europe, South America, North America, Africa, Australia, Middle East, etc.). We pride ourselves in being exceptionally vested in our work. We take pleasure in thoroughly and painstakingly going over all the details, your preferences, the prevailing codes and standards of your location, and lots more.

Listed skills include Construction Drawings, Structural Engineering, Foundation Design, Structural Analysis, and 30 others.
