PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

EMPLOYMENT DATE.. September 2013 to Present

Emirates Tents Co. L .L.C. . P.O.Box: 48485, Dubai, UAE

POSITION Tensile Membrane Struc tures Engineer / Struc tural Engineer

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

Verify and review concepts/drawings by comparing it to project contract documents, tender drawings andspecifications. Verify as well the structural integrity / workability of the structure. Formfinding (using Technet Easy 2014 FormEdit or ixForten 4000 Version R 4.9.0) - Evaluate the geometry ofa stressed surface by specifying support coordinates, boundary conditions, point fixities and fabric membranestresses to generate the desire shape or form. It is also important to evaluate membrane contour and slopeagainst water ponding before proceeding to structural analysis and design. Statistical analysis (using Technet Easy 2014 Statical Analysis or ixForten 4000 Version R 4.9.0) - materializethe surfaces created by the Formfinding process by assigning material properties to the membrane, to considerthe external causes resulting from the effects of self-weight, wind and snow (if applicable) loads and to calculatethe membrane stresses, cable fo ces and deformations: thus the stability of the overall structure can be verified.

- Calculation & application of loads to the membrane surfaces, dividing the surfaces into zones to distributeappropriate wind pressures. Beam Analys is(using Technet Easy 2014 Beam Editor / Easy Beam or ixForten 4000 Version R 4.9.0) -

Supporting steel frames and cables structural analysis and design - combined calculation of steel and cablessupporting structures together with prestressed membrane surfaces. Exporting the model to Dlubal RSTAB 8 toanalyze and design structural cross-sections for economically proportion steel and cables.

Patterning(using Technet Easy 2014 / Easy Cut or ixForten 4000 Version R 4.9.0) - flattens the surface, splitsit into panels and add seam allowances, panel numbers, node numbers, markings and offsets for welding andcompensation to take into account the membrane prestress. Design of steel connections bolted and/or welded connections as per AISC 360-10 or BS 5950, design ofbase plates and anchor bolts. Finite element analysis using Dlubal RFEM 5. Design of Foundation concrete design of pedestal and footing using STAAD Foundation Advanced V8iand/or using excel sheets as per ACI 318-08 or BS 8110, determining the safe / economic size of footing andcalculating the diameter and spacing of steel reinforcements. Structural Analysis and Design Reports reports for consultants approval which contents load calculations,fabric analysis, steel design, connection and foundation design.
