Career Episode 1 for ANZSCO 233214 Structural Engineer
Project Name: Construction of the Qatar Academy Sidra School
The construction of this project was started in 2017 and it is still in progress. In this project, CEG International (Qatar) was selected to perform all structural designing, drawing, and construction activities of the school as per Qatar Engineering Standards.
CEG International is a leading international engineering practice that offers services in architecture, interior design, master planning, landscape, urban design, and building consultancy in both Asian countries and the Middle East.
This project challenges me beyond my expertise to develop complex structures using SAFE, ETAB, and AutoCAD software. I researched to understand current construction methods and applied them to achieve the best results by staying within the budget. I learned how to tackle complex issues using limited resources and how to work under the supervision of senior engineers.
Responsible for carrying out the following activities:
- Studied engineering & architectural drawings to thoroughly read the technical specifications and then decided on the most suitable framing system for the construction.
- Used AutoCAD software to prepare the structural drawings.
- Worked on the ETAB software to prepare the framing plan and overall design of the structural elements.
- Performing design checks by comparing manual calculations and software results.
- Performing calculations to verify the dimensions of different sections.
- Resolving the technical problems and designing the deep beam in the sp wall software.
- Monitoring all structural design changes and assessing the impact of these changes on the overall design of the other elements.
- Analyzing structural systems for the school.

Project Name: Construction of Double Tree Hotel Apartment
The project is aimed to develop the Hotel Apartment Building comprising of 2B+G+M+9+P, on a plot with PIN 48080011 having an area of 4,940 sqm, located corner C-Ring Road & Umm Suwab Street, Umm Ghuwailina area. The proposed building will have a total built-up area of 34,596 sqm.
I reviewed the software results and compared them with the manual calculations to ensure the accuracy of my work and I ensured all safety design checks fulfilled the requirement. I learned how to use ETAB software to develop 3D models which were approved by the senior engineers.
Responsible for carrying out the following activities:
- Developing a structural framing system after studying the architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings.
- Creating a material specification sheet for the mechanical properties of the materials used for the construction.
- Deciding the suitable structural codes for the analyses and design processes.
- Creating different options for the building plot to satisfy the client’s requirements.
- Coordination with the architectural, mechanical, and electrical departments to have updated drawings and information that is crucial for the structural design.
- Creating progress reports to submit to the management department.
- Analyzing and designing the structural elements using the structural software following the codes.
- Analyzing and designing the foundation system (substructure) based on loads of the superstructure.
- Create the design drawings and get them certified and to be issued for construction (IFC).
- Reviewing the shop drawings created by the contractor.

Project Name: Investigating the strength of the bond between the reinforced concrete and basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP).
The project was a joint effort of individuals with similar civil and architectural engineering skills at different universities. To successfully investigate the resulting bond and various parameters were investigated, including BFRP diameter, splice length, and bar texture length. The investigation results would demonstrate that the flexibility capacities of SC-BFRP bars are similar to those supported with HW-BFRP. Various codes and standards were applied in the investigation and authenticated the guidelines to be followed in the experimental processes.
My duties as a team leader are as follows:
- Investigating the parameters determining the type of bond between the suggested fiber and reinforced concrete.
- Considering the various codes that would govern the investigation in terms of the procedures and equipment used.
- Experimental investigation of the replaceability of steel as the reinforcing material in reinforced concrete structures.
- Determining the specific parameters of the test materials that would achieve the desired results.
- Evaluating the extent to which the parameters of the test materials were relevant in achieving the defined results, even in a large-scale setting.
