Webinar : Elkhorn Drop Ramp Structure Lessons Learned
Percy Penafiel, P.E. from Nevada Department of Transportation, will be going over the lessons and process of the Elkhorn Drop Ramp Structure. When it comes to complex geometry many engineers struggle while using grillage approach or using plate modeling.
Expert Q&A : Construction Stage Analysis of Irregular Geometry Structures
In this Q&A Live Session, our Expert Engineer, Percy Penafiel from Nevada DOT helped answer the questions from our users about the Construction Stage Analysis of Irregular Geometry Structures.
