a) Introduction:
CE1.1
In my first career episode I would like to describe my current working position. I have
been working a Assistant Engineering Manager at L&T Power, Chennai, India, since
February 2011. My role as a Structural engineer, I perform various tasks such as
administering a group of people, designing and implementation projects. Currently I
have been leading of group of people who are engineers, builders and contractors. I
co-ordinate with this group to perform the following tasks:
Coordination with client and third party consultant for the approval
of drawings.

b) Background:
CE1.2 Nature of the overall engineering project
It involves the design projects Viz., Feasibility Study, Preparation of Detailed
Project Report or Detailed Engineering Projects undertaken from the Government
and Private clients and Pre-bid projects undertaken mostly for private clients.

further initiate the process of procuring the structural steel elements such
as steel plates of Built-up sections and Rolled sections which are in line
with the Engineering design drawing.
The structures are for the additional Unit of already existing power plant. I
am involved in Planning, co-ordinating and monitoring of all the
Investigations and pre-bid assignments pertaining to project.
I led group of engineers and CAD draftsmen. The engineers will design the
connection and splice details for the various locations at beams and
columns. I will check the interpretation of test results, make remarks and
corrections wherever necessary and co-ordinated the same to the
engineer for the modification of the design.
I analyzed the mistakes and inaccuracies made in the design and also
investigated their causes. After completion of every design I discuss with
my team engineers the methods to design for the projects based on the
requirements. This has helped me as well as for my engineers to have
expertise in the design aspects. I have also used this expertise in making
decisions which I have implemented and applied in the other design
projects.

My team at site carried out the template before the start of work, and
problems has been notified to me for clarifications and suggestions.
I was responsible and involved in all the tests carrying out in laboratory for
welds and splice.

I selected the connections, such as bolted or welded, and the type of weld
whether it to be site welded or shop welded. Considering the safety of the
laborers working at height, I try to accommodate the maximum possible welds to
be done at shop and minimal to be done at site level. All the connection design
has been done as per Indian Standards (IS 800: 2007). During the design phase,
I paid great attention and ensured complete protection measures for natural and
other disasters according to the subsidiary legislation.
CE1.9 The tasks delegated to you and how did accomplish;
The task given to me is accomplished by carrying out all the necessary calculations
as follows:
Ensure whether the Fabrication drawings contain all the details required
for the fabrication.

design.

them;
With respect to my calculations and analysis, I had to choose appropriate plate
size, based on the available plate sizes at site/market. Also I have to consider the
surplus material from the previous project which has to be utilized so that I can
minimize the quantity to buy from the manufacturer. This requirement made me
to limit the quantity for each section as per the design. The total quantity for the
turbine building has been limited to 6000MT of structural steel and till now I
have utilized approximately 5500MT of structural steel. This has been possible
with the help of the economical designs for the Gusset plates, stiffener plates,
moment connection plates, splice connection plates and shear cleat angles. At
the preliminary stage, the design drawing for the columns was provided with
stiffeners at 1500mm center to center(c/c). This design was discussed with client
and the columns were designed as an unstiffened section. This made me to
reduce the stiffeners by considering the basic requirements. Hence the stiffeners
were reduced by increasing the spacing to 3500mm c/c. This design made a
reduced in the quantity for approximately 4 MT per column.

work:
I had prepared the standard design sheets for the following:
The calculation of Shear connection for Built-up and Rolled sections for
the all Shear locations.
