Dik, As an experienced engineer like you, I'm sure that you can seamlessly manage new design teams and ongoing construction modifications. As long as the original design will remain "intact", and no external factors will compromise upcoming project. If your "written contract is firm", ensuring...
Can you recommend a comprehensive textbook that provides detailed design examples, design case studies, and step-by-step guidelines on Seismic reinforcement detailing in accordance with IBC, ACI, and ASCE-7 standards for structural engineers?
These are Rich countries (southern of US) filled with natural resources and smart dedicated people.
The reason is obvious:
Putting/changing/manipulating rolling governments of such countries only controlled/done by "One Player" and he enjoy seeing others miseries/struggling, so others would say...
My Friend,
for Tall structures, your job will be mostly dealing with structural modeling, structural analysis (on higher level). As you mentioned some large scale of steel towers (wind tunnels, rocket testing facilities). These projects filled with advanced structural analysis (problems solver)...
As an engineer with wooden construction expertise, you have a unique edge in the growing light weight/ wooden housing industry.
Combining structural and wooden construction which can help you start your own company apart from above listed pressure.

Use new timber...
AT First, I admire your development efforts, and wish you all the best course of engineering success. Just one point "Might be Iam Old" just the writings are fade and not clear (as before) to read or to follow up. dark colors (with high contrast could be added as an option for the Form Display...
similar to picture below (it is simply supported curved composite box-girder)

Nothing in top (no tendons) and 5 tendons going through bottom (harped shape), with top ordinary reinforced concrete deck 15-20cm (6-8") with fc'=40 M2a (6000 psi)
@ LittleInch, its actual case where they did not carry out the Post-tensioning process in two stages (i.e. firstly at assemblage stage of spliced steel girders and lastly after Top deck poured and fully cured).
its simply spliced curved box girder. the construction company insisted on completing...
@XR250, its common solution for long curved overpass Highway bridges (steel and concrete)
similar to this type but with simply supported endpoints:
