Designing Structural Cantilevers? Here's What You Need to Know!

[@johnyu3463]

Im a civil engineering student and Im learning a lot from your videos

[@BrendanHasty]

Glad that you are learning lot from my video thanks for the support

[@morganwhitford4104]

Love your contents. Everytime I watch your videos i tend to learn something new out of it.

Hi Morgan, glad that you found it helpful, thanks for the support.

Hi Bredan, What's your opinion on placing polystyrene boards inside cantilevered canopy rc slab before pouring concrete to reduce selfweight of the slab and consequently reduce the likelihood of excessive deflection.

Hi Brendan, big admirer of your work, thank you for what you do! One question, the structure in the thumbnail, is there more information on the project to follow up on, I tried locating it through different methods, no luck. I'm interested in studying this specific structure and how it is designed, thanks!

[@georginikolov9332]

Hi Brendan, very useful video! Could you maybe consider placing references on some of the more theoretical figures (e.g. type of cracking) in future videos? If it's not too much work of course🙂.

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Geogri, thanks for watching and the support. I will try to add links in thr future thanks for the suggestion.

Hi ING. Brendan, please make a video on how to prepare a structural design report.

[@thanostheodorou5630]

Hi Brendan. Great video! Do you have any book recommendations specifically for these kind of structures?

[@DeepakKrishna11]

very insightful video Brendan

What are your thoughts on tension posts? For example I have a few large trusses spanning 80’ across for an open auditorium and they want a mezzanine, at the back, without columns of course. My idea would be to tension post down from the bottom truss chord but I want a back up beam going all the way across I think for the mezzanine that works in moment but fails in deflection, in case one of the tensio. posts fails the beam would still work in moment, just not deflection. Make sense? So much easier to draw these things

Hello brendan! Im graduating with a master’s degree in structural engineering in 8 months. I have an internship at An engineering company for the summer. Do you advise me to do something else during those months to be prepared before starting my career?

[@arnavjamale9803]

Hey I am going to ASU in UD for structural engineering, can you tell me what I should be prepared for

You talked about torsion being the bane of all engineer's. That was enlightening. I have some questions that are kind of off topic. During a high wind event, I understand that proper fasteners and load path are critical in keeping the structure in one piece. What role does structural vibration combined torsion play in failure? I'm thinking of tornados and long duration high winds. It seems to me that leverage forces placed on fasteners are very important. But, how important are the torsional forces? And how much of a role does vibration play in failure? Thank you.

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Joseph typically vibration is a service condition failure not a structural failure, tho it has happen in really light bridges. Torsion is often overlooked it had a compounding effect with shear and can greatly increase deflections. Most designs I try and avoid a torsion resistance systems and try ro frame up structures to be moment resistance.

@@BrendanHasty thank you Sir. I appreciate you taking your time to respond. And, I appreciate the information.😁

I have an extremely off topic question for you. How could someone start an international civil engineering group dedicated to repairing critical civilian infrastructure on conflict zones? For example, the Kakhovka Dam is compromised and draining water from the reservoir that feeds the NPP Cooling Systems. With out doubt, this will lead to a meltdown of the cores and the spent fuel in the dry storage area. A study was done in 2011, and this is the conclusion based on the Kakhovka Reservoir dropping below a certain level. The first catastrophic event will occur because the dry fuel containers will over heat and crack. Then the reactor cores will meltdown. Because of the famen that will be induced by this horrific event, I have been thinking about what else could be done. I would love there to be a group that could go there and repair the dam. It would be like Drs Without Borders; but, Civil Engineer's Without Borders.

Nice!

[@jhughes9335]

I'm so confused. Are you an engineer?

[@BrendanHasty]

Lol i am so confused. Why wouldn't I be.
