Miningman,
Your expertise is in mining.
I understand the structural requirement is difference with a Urban structure design.
Debate is not just a finger pointing.
Rod,
I never said the design is wrong.
It just a not well consider design and have a chance to create problem.
Debate is to find out the true not argument.
Do you agree the professional is not happy to question about other one's design.
This is the culture and leading the industry to worst day...
No, I have read all the report and design brief. I still have the copy in case put it on court.
As a good citizen and a professional, I need to report something not safe for public.
Thee are a lot of building misconduct, like main street station, everyday so many professional pass that station...
phamENG,
I believe you always has good wish and make time easy to go.
In that case, there are life activities on top of slope.
That means water main, sewage, gas pipe servicing public.
It is not just rain fall condition need to concern, urban service failure also a concern.
If we not design it...
Thanks for everyone's comments.
There is a very important basic concept soil and water always be the first consideration for a retaining wall design.
Most of the failure of a retaining wall is the soil contain high volume of water.
You can find those retaining wall beside the a rail track that...
Yes, total agreed.
I have been working in the industry for 50 years. I wouldn't easy comment on other's design until I found something danger to public.
I did go through the Geotechnical report and the design brief there are some grey area.
But, my question is very straight forward against the...
Thanks, BridgeSmith,
The Civil work design always need to concern about public safety and against the worst case.
There are many cases of safety for the design, if for a life line design anytime the structure should be functionally work.
Can you think about a train running and the track off set...
Thanks for oldestguy.
I think you are knowledgeable enough to comment on the Geotechnical design.
The over all design for the stability is right on the Geotechnical point of view.
But, there are a lot of local design on the structural view.
The structural design involve reinforced concrete...
Thanks for you suggestion.
I did raise up that issue to the BC engineer association but no one reply to me.
I create that talk is to proof as a citizen need to report something wrong and dangerous to life in the city.
But, it seems nobody care.
The issue is a retaining wall beside the Inlet...
All of us know about it.
But there is a design in BC Evergreen line with over 9m tall retaining wall not designed with the subsoil water pressure.
Even they provide a subsoil drain on the wall, but the water penetration from top of wall and drain out from the subsoil drain will need a certain of...
