Oh do I have a problem for you haha. I need some help designing a deep beam using this so called “strut and tie” method. Almost nobody on the internet has any example problems for simply supported beams with a point or distributed load. Can you do one? Thank you !!!!

Hi Rich, I just got my PE Civil Structural exam passed on 8/31. I really appreciate all the videos from you which helped me so much and good luck for everyone here for your exam !

Grate video Kestava❤

Very helpful video.

Thanks for the great content! I am having a hard time interpreting ASCE section 7.3.4 "Minimum Snow Load for Low-Sloped Roofs" would Pmin even be a design consideration for this example building? The language states "...shall only apply to monoslope, hip, and gable roofs" In your example the roof system used is neither of these. Any thoughts on the interpretation?

I cannot believe you have to mentor eits without getting paid 100k minimum. My God.

Another great PE problem. Keep em coming

Hi. I am learning. Shouldn't you check for statical determinacy first before you know whether its linear or curved line?

I took the cbt Fe and the cbt PE civil structural exam and you basically described how I felt after walking out from taking them. I'm so excited that you passed both of your SE exams. Congratulations!🎉🎉🎉 I thought I was done with my testing journey with the PE, but you've just motivated me to take my SE exams. Your practice problems are very useful, I practiced some while studying for the PE. Please keep making practice problems videos (for SE) and create a playlist for them. I (and all of your community) would appreciate it! Thanks Rich!

Hello, I am speaking from Chile. I would like to know if you have any document or regulation that speaks about the design and analysis of joining elements known as wooden plugs.

How do they install 0.6 of a light fixture in a day?

If typical residential construction, Lateral loading resistance is likely at the joists connection into the building joists. No intended/designed lateral loads at the base of posts.

This guy has the best videos great brain food

hello, may I ask about the bw you refer to at 07:39. it's 12", isn't it? Thankyou

Could you tell me what size rafter i would need for 4/12 pitch, 28'span, 14' run, in Lewiston Maine 04240, 80 lb snow,16 lb live and 10 lb dead, ceiling joist, living space below, unheated attic above, metal roof, may need LVL ridge beam. Thanks!!

Congratulations!!!

I thought something else was playing music on my computer. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

hell yeah great video

I like the computer for the PE

Good review. I do like post-cured anchors from the simple reality that it removes a lot of skill required of the contractor. I see a lot of contractors who don't follow layout drawings properly and then you spend way too much time addressing errors.

These are the problems that I've complained about every time I've taken a CBT exam

What is the best source or book to cover the bridges for SE buildings ? any tips

Thank you for the excellent courses, very helpful.

Basic salary means in hand salary after excluding all taxes and what not?

Great Video! I have a question about how to determine how much seismic load should be applied for each shear wall in different directions?

Thank you… great work.. very helpful ❤

Really nice, i finished all the 3 parts. This is the code walkthrough I was looking for. Thank you. I'm thinking if there's code walkthrough for wind too.

It would be great to go through the calcs for rebar sizing and spacing.

Excellent job.

I hope you double your salary for passing that bullshit. seriously

I passed the PE cus of you! so happy for you man

Hello, your wall is force controlled, now enjoy the pain.

😭

Well, I tried.

I have an old version of the aisc manual. Do you think I need to update it for the exam? These are pretty expensive.

What’s next for you and the channel. What a ride

Thank you for your thoughts and commentary. I'll be going for my first exam this October and what you are saying matches what I've seen on reddit and the Discord channel. I think NCEES has some explaining to do with pass rates that low (the bar exam hovers around 50%!) but I'll demur as I am at the start, not the end, of this journey. Keeping in mind the "one-screen" thing, I have decided to do all my studying on one monitor. I've also ordered the Practice Exam Booklet and non-erasable marker from online, and am using it to work example problems. Do you have any other tips or tricks that you think would help make the exam-day experience less awful?

This is a very well-explained instructional video. I do not deal with wind loads on a regular basis, but on occasion I have to review plans for shade structures or such things. My area experiences a very CONSTANT wind (very strong at times), so I have noticed over the years that structures typically fail here over time from FATIGUE rather than the strength of the wind or gusts. Does ASCE-7 or UBC 97 take that "fatigue loading" of winds into consideration? I am looking through ASCE-7 now, and do not see anything to specifically address it. Thanks.

Lmaoo

Graduated with plans to get my SE now after working a few years I’m wondering what’s the point? I don’t want all that liability, for what like $100k/yr?

Congrats on passing, that's awesome! 👍👍

Why they make it so complicated?

Congrats on passing! I passed Lateral Oct ‘23 and failed Vertical this past April. I have the same thoughts as you… I’ll be skipping the offering this October in hopes that things improve for April ‘25.

I am happy for you bro keep up the good work.

Congratulations! I had the same experience with my PE. Would you recommend any text books or other study material to help get a deeper understanding of lateral systems and designs ? Will you continue posting videos on KZbin now that you're done studying ?

Congratulations! I was lucky enough to get through both vertical exams this last spring testing session and have the lateral exams coming up this fall! You have been a great inspiration and continue to provide useful studying videos and explanations for things

Congrats on earning your SE!! I'll be going into my sophomore year of civil engineering undergrad, but I've watched some of your videos here and there. I'm looking forward to the journey of becoming a Civil/Structural Engineer.

Well deserved Congrats! I'm also a PE who has experience with both the NCEES old school and new CTB tests, and I appreciate you taking us on your journey! I used your youtube practice problems to help me study and found them very informative and helpful.

Congratulations Rich! Thank for sharing your journey with all of us. Time to update that disclaimer in the description to state that Richard Racz DOES in fact hold the title "structural engineer".
