10:00 Your drawings and clarity are about 10,000x better than the Black Spectacles guy lol. Keep up the great work.

[@jasonfairbanks4714]

Very helpful! Your tutorials are the reason why I’ve subscribed to KZbin!

[@maxvasher]

Perfect timing! I just sat down for an evening of PDD study and it looks like I get to start by being the first viewer of this within minutes of you posting it. Thanks once again, Ben!

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Oh man you are in for a riveting evening.

[@Designbuild828]

@Hyperfine Architecture Thank you Ben for all of your work and dedication.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

You are very welcome!

[@auskip07]

i swear the test i took today was the 57% passing rate test. it was tough. But i got a pass at the end and i dont have to take anymore

[@tonypriest1545]

THANKS BEN! that's a HA-HA WALL by the way.

[@Vico917]

Thank you for sharing this!!!

Number 43 the actual force producing the moment is the inverse of the red triangle you drew. Not sure if you just drew it arbitrarily but it may be helpful to show the correct area that is exerting the pressure to help others better understand whats actually going on there. The highlighted triangle you have is not producing any pressure on the wall.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

What do you mean inverse? The highlighted side is where the earth is. The left side is air.

[@tombeckjr]

Hyperfine Architecture the two legs should be the face of wall and the earth on top with the hyp connecting them... having one leg along the footing doesnt work... material that is on the footing is not applying any pressure to the wall... the earth above weighting down is applying the force... BTW passed my first four test now taking PDD tomrrow and then PPD you stuff is by far the most useful (bought your PDD and PPD study guide) keep up the good work... I can draw it out if you want me to

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Thanks Tom, send me an email so we can discuss further. I will correct the assignment if it’s wrong, but that triangle method is direct from Ching and other sources.

@@HyperfineArchitecture Sent it over. Let me know if you got it

[@katielee2040]

@@HyperfineArchitecture In the word description under the calculation illustration of this question, it said the foundation height including the footing. So shouldn’t that 9’ tall triangle across the entire height of the footing but not just the wall part? Accordingly that 1/3 overturn point should be much lower?

17:21 Stud size goes up by 1/8". Unfortunately I have no experience with light gauge metal stud framing. They seriously vary from 3 1/2" to 3 5/8"? That seems insane.

[@HyperfineArchitecture]

Yeah, not sure why that is. I am mostly residential, dealing with 2x lumber. I always need to look up what the metal stud sizes are.

[@alank2786]

Metal studs sizes: 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 4" (less common), 6", 8", 10". They do make some in between but these are the typical sizes.

No need to compare to the black spectacles guy lol. thanks
