Bridges are the key elements in any road network and use of pre-stress girder type bridges gaining popularity in bridge engineering fraternity because of its better stability, serviceability, economy, durability, aesthetic appearance and structural efficiency. Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Missy in This Episode: In this episode, we talk to Missy McMullen, Design Engineer at Lane Supply Inc., about barrier cables in parking garages, what they are, how they work, and how they can benefit the industry as we know it.Bridge construction today has achieved a worldwide level of importance.Tell us more about your career and what you work on at Lane Supply, Inc.?.Tell us what parking garage barrier cables are, what materials they are made of, and what different kinds are available?.How did these cables come about and how are they used by engineers?.Are the barrier cables tested for car and truck impacts?.How are the designs made for these potential accidents?.Are there any regional standard differences in barrier cable design?.Do parking garages have retrofits for barrier cables?.If the concrete is not strong enough to withstand the forces, is there a solution that can be implemented?.What is it about your career that has been different or beneficial that you think gives you different opportunities than standard design engineering?.Are there any personal challenges that you have experienced in your career?.One of your hobbies is fire breathing can you elaborate on that?.Here Are Some of the Key Points Discussed About Barriers Cable in Parking Garages:.Parking garage barrier cable typically looks like metal strands that run around any open floor of a parking garage.The materials they are made of are generally cheaper to use than other barrier types, such as concrete barrier walls, making them more cost-effective.
Future changes can be easier to make to them than a concrete wall.There is a lot that goes into designing parking garage barrier cable systems when dealing with accidents, like working out the force that is applied to the cables as well as the leading edge in proximity to the structure.They are typically made out of high strength and low relaxation 7-wire sphere cable that is used for post- or pre-tensioning.
