WORK:

Dubai Raymond Intl. Summer Internship Program, United Arab Emirates July 2011 (Intern) - Studied different methods of water distribution, consumption and allocation in arid regions. Visited Sites of Fujairah Desalination Plant, Mazdar City, Aldar Properties PJSC Water Park storm water control system, Raymond International, Al Jazira Pipe Industries & Oil Service Co.

-One of six selected for program.

Vectron International, Hudson, NH Summer 2011 (Design Engineer) Tasked with modeling Electrolux ovens, Pifa antennas and necessary design changes utilizing Solid Works

- Met with international clients for project securing and work assessment (Helped in securing of Electrolux Co. for further projects)

RELATED PROJECTS:

Rehabilitation of an Interstate Bridge- An assessment of the existing condition for I-81 Bridge in Cortland, NY was performed by visual testing due to lack of access. Suggested testing was researched for a report considering cost and necessity. Three retrofit systems were considered, with the proposal of one system in particular. Due to insufficient capacity of the bridge to sustain loading, shear studs were added to a newly placed concrete deck. Pier and abutments were redesigned to accommodate two additional lanes with additional live loading to existing traffic load. All designs had to adhere to the ACI 318-08 code.

Aggregated Shell Structure- Aggregated shapes were designed in Rhino software and modeled for strength testing in SAP2000. Medium shell structure was redesigned iteratively to a two-inch thickness of 5 ksi concrete throughout, spanning more than 90 ft and 50ft tall at its highest point. All tensile forced resulted to be under 2ksi throughout this shell. Interdisciplinary team of Engineer and Architect worked together to bring the idea of aggregation into practical application.

-Thinnest, most effective shell structure in class.

Warehouse Design – Preformed a complete flexural and shear design of a warehouse structure. Detailing design of the slab, beams, girders and columns under specified dead, live and wind loading to ACI 318-08 standards. Team had to devise and present an extensive report of the structural design, specifications, and what checks were used to authenticate ACI 318-08 accordance.
