OCCUPATIONAL EXPERIENCE:

 

1982 To Present:Working with a small engineering firm it was (as supervised prior to licensure) and is my responsibility to design all structural elements for each structure. This includes spread footings, combination and cantilevered footings, and retaining structures. Single and multilevel steel beam, column, plate girders and trussed structures. Concrete beams, simple and 2-way flat plate slabs. Specifying steel K-series, LH-series, DLH-series, and Joist Girder floor and roof systems. Wood beams, columns, diaphragms, trusses, and joist using timber and engineered wood products. I am responsible for all analysis of these structural elements. Some of these calculations were/are done by hand and some were and/are done using STAAD-III-2003. In addition, the company also detailed steel for fabrication. It was my responsibility to check many of the steel design connections. This included simple, tension, moment AISC connections and complex gusseted connections with consideration of bearing and tear out yield and fracture, and compression using Whitmore sections. I have also designed cylindrical and rectangular hoppers.

 

The designs listed below are designed to comply with the local code in force. This has required my knowledge of dead, live, snow, wind and seismic requirements of the codes including, 1985, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1997, 1999 SBCCI, 2000 and 2003 IBC, 1994 and 1997 UBC and 1999 BOCA, Florida 2001, ASCE 7-93, ASCE 7-95, ASCE 7-98 and ASCE 7-02. Also, I have working knowledge of the requirements of AISC, ACI 383-02, ACI 530 (for masonry), NDS (for wood), AISI-1996 and The Aluminum Associations Specifications.

 

Pre-Licensure

 

25076 (1985) - Rush Foundation Hospital, Meridian, MS. On this project I was responsible for (1) replacing the existing wood framing and replacing with WF steel beams and columns. (2) replacing the existing floor framing and replacing with WF steel beams and concrete slab while maintaining hospital operation.

 

26001 (1986) - Mississippi Power Company Office Building, Meridian, MS. This structure was composed of basement, first and second floors and attic storage. The basement was designed with pinned retaining walls. The total lateral loads on the structure are resisted with rigid steel frames. The floors framing is composed K-series joist and a concrete slab. The roof system is designed with K-series joist, long span joist and trusses I designed. The foundation is designed with spread footings and grade beams.

 

Post-Licensure

 

 94080 (1994) – Rush ER/Medical Building. Seven story rigid frame with composite floor system. The structure has additional rigidity from three stair/elevator towers. The structure is supported on auger cast pile groups.

 

96120 (1996) - Donnelly Building, Anniston, AL - 2 story 10,000 square foot rigid frame steel structure with a spread footing foundation designed for business occupancy. The floor and roof systems are designed using K-series joist.

 

97098 (1997) - Renovation of 100 year old Denzel Carousel structure in Meridian, MS. The existing wood structure was suffering from excessive deflection and long term creep. I designed  aesthetic tube steel trusses to correct and reinforce this structure to remain consistent with this historic structure.

 

98039 (1998) - Lauderdale County Department of Archives and History, Meridian, MS. This project required the removal of an existing 90 year old second floor wood structure that was deteriorated. The system was replaced with a new K-series joist / wood deck floor system to support heavy storage occupancy. Other structural elements also required reinforcement.

 

99056 (1999) - Bryan Foods, West Point, MS. Rating, Modification, and/or reinforcement of 50 in-house, Jib, Under-hung, top running cranes and monorails to comply with OSHA requirements.

 

99354 (1999) - Addition to Central United Methodist Church, Meridian, MS. This project was a 7 million dollar, 3 story structure with a lower level parking garage. The spans required in the parking structure resulted in large heavily loaded spans carrying the building above. These structural elements utilized 52 and 56 inch plate girders. The lateral loads on the structure are resisted by rigid frames. The floor joist are composite steel beams. The roof system is designed using K-series joist.

 

2001-139 - (2001) Women’s Clinic, Meridian, MS. This is a 2 story, 20,000 square foot facility. It is designed as a rigid frame structure with a spread footing foundation system. The floor and roof systems are designed using K-series joist. Retaining structures are also present due to part of the lower structure is below grade.

 

2001-265 (2001) - Lake High School, Lake, MS. This is a single story 17,600 Square foot structure with 76 foot clear span. The roof structure is a rigid frame/modified bow string truss structure with a spread footing foundation plan

 

2002-271 (2002) - Weems Adolescent Center, Meridian, MS.This is a 2 story, 15,000 square foot facility. It is designed as a rigid frame structure with a spread footing foundation system. The floor and roof systems are designed using K-series joist. Retaining structures are also present due to part of the lower structure is below grade.

 

2002-308 (2002) - Ferno Tank Installation. Rush Foundation Hospital, Meridian, MS

This project required the reinforcement of an existing steel/concrete composite floor system to support a 8 foot x 16 foot, 30,000 pound water tank on the second floor while maintaining hospital operation.

 

2004-207 (2004) – MSU dormitory. Three story 165,000 square foot, pre-fabricated, panelized construction. Apartment type construction.

 

2004-349 (2004) – Bass High School, Greenville, MS. A three story structure constructed circa 1910 had totally deteriorated with the exception of the masonry walls. I designed an endoskeleton to be erected inside the wall structure. Horizontal beams are designed to brace walls and serve as future floor beams eliminating the need for redundant external wall bracing.

 

General Type Designs:

 

I. Gas Island Canopies

 

Since 1991, I have designed over 1700 steel framed canopies and their foundations in 17 states  (MS, AL, GA, FL, LA, AR, MO, TN, KY, NC, SC, VA, WV, OH, IN, PE and CT). These canopies have been constructed by Cash Industries of Lawley, AL, C&S  Construction of  Clanton, AL, and Southeastern Canopies of Shelby, AL. Canopies have been single and double column line, rectangular or irregular geometry or Tee canopies.

 

II. Apache/General Panel Corp of Union, MS. Manufacturer of SIP’s (structural insulated panels). Since 1993 I have been the designer/certifier on 126 projects involving the use of SIP’s  in residential and commercial use in 6 (MS, AL, GA, FL, LA, IN) states since 1993.

 

III. Mitchell Signs of Meridian, MS. I have been the designer/certifier on 64 projects involving the design of signs and their foundations since 1993. These signs have ranged from 20 feet to 120 feet in height. They are located in MS, AL, and LA.
