The Structures Group at Monash University – informing responsible future practices in structural engineering.

After my "Excel is Evil" talk, some structural engineers were asking "but what's the alternative"?

Surely there can't be something quicker, neater, less error-prone, shareable, and version controllable?

Oh, and it's free. #opensource

Ever wanted to see a photo of a 250-tonne pedestrian bridge being lifted into place at a level crossing removal site against a stunning backdrop of Melbourne's skyline?

Now you have.

“Our structural engineering spidey senses would be tingling far more when it comes to structural glass...” explains Caprani.

I was clearly in a good mood that day 😂

@ccaprani @mayermelhem5 @MonashCivil Well done Team!👍👍👍

[Colin Caprani @ccaprani]

Interesting; evidence suggesting that the crack in the #40MSRiverBridge was present *before* the last inspection.

$50m for SHM of bridges is wonderful news! There are so many bridges that could benefit from this, with consequent improvements for freight and more. Hopefully this new state-backed firm can rise to the challenge!

This tragic collapse is very unusual: not old, not new; constructed in 2012; earthquake in 2017. Otherwise ok in service. Seems too young for fatigue to accumulate...

We’re excited to see colleagues getting together around the coffee machine again. Come along and join us!

Motivated by the I-35W collapse in 2007, we wondered what are the impacts of maintenance works on long-span bridge loading?

On the structural safety of long-span bridges under traffic loadings caused by maintenance works

A simple, cost-effective and portable device, shaped like a torpedo, has been successful in detecting SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater in Victoria and is now being rolled out overseas. https://t.co/adzqcAUO71

"Today is #IWD2021. This year’s theme is #ChooseToChallenge. It is a call to action - to be alert to gender bias, to recognise inequality, and to make change that leads to greater equity." Read more of Dean @ecroft's message here 👉 https://t.co/QJhCLnQjIT

@ccaprani @monashengineers Welcome Back!

[Colin Caprani @ccaprani]

Students on campus, actively learning bridge concept design. Given the last 12 months this tugs at the heartstrings. Just wonderful @monashengineers @MonashStructEng

[Colin Caprani @ccaprani]

Nice day for maintaining one of our bridge monitoring systems for @VicRoads on a key #superloads route for Victoria. @MonashCivil @MonashStructEng #Resensys #anshm

The new National Drop Weight Impact Testing Facility, funded by the @arc_gov_au and led by @MonashCivil in collaboration with 6 other unis, will put Australia at the forefront of impact engineering research, and lead to safer materials and infrastructure. https://t.co/Mwp6Zr4h96
