Interesting Structural Engineering Details - Episode 1

[@SirKombabomba]

Thanks for sharing. Your sketches are Supa-Dupa

[@colum9675]

Interesting solution and beneficial to see how the design evolved to suit the clients requirement. Thank you and keep it up👍

Can a brick wall take a point load in is weak axis ? ( compression from the diagonal)

[@EverydayDazz]

There’s a return wall inside that will resist this :)

[@dimvoly]

What about all the tension pulling on the bricks? Along the PFC, does that cause wall bending?

[@EverydayDazz]

It wouldn’t because the PFC is very close to the floor level

[@gB-gm7vy]

I found your channel through the concepts app. I was interested in seeing how other engineers were doing their dimensioning techniques with the app.

Awesome video! I finished highschool and am hoping to begin studying structural engineering this autumn. Your videos and channel overall really help getting a structural engineer's perspective especially in Europe. In my country you don't really have civil engineering bachelor into structural master's. You go into structural from the get go and it's a master's degree (5 years) so you need to be sure it's what you want. And the channel has been showing a lot of design things most other don't. Thanks Also your engineer handwriting style is so cool. I hope I learn to type like that 😎

[@paulcuddy4772]

Daz….. excellent videos. What about assessing the walls ability to resist compression and how did you deal with tension at the top. Did you fix it to the floor and was the floor tied to the masonry sufficiently. I’d have thought this was the most critical component of the design?

[@dimvoly]

Thanks for sharing. Not sure what the magnitude of the force is here, but it looks like the raking member end connections employ eccentric cleats. Dunno what it's like in the UK but here in NZ we're not allowed to do that, have to stiffen them both sides of the connection.

[@EverydayDazz]

The load is small enough that it’s not an issue. But I understand if it was bigger than a stiffer connection would be required.

[@nicolasramirez3944]

This is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@etiennefrancoeur35]

Did the anchors were strictly embedded in the masonry wall?

[@ehsanchannel8703]

Hey mate, thanks for sharing. This is interesting. You mentioned that you don't typically "do" steel connections. Is it the case that you would not typically design it or not draft/document it? So, then who does it if the engineer is not doing it?

[@EverydayDazz]

Most often the steel contractor will sub contract the steel connection design

[@Mark-cy8ow]

Great video keep going with these !

[@earlgrey6589]

Thanks for sharing, it's always interesting to see how other engineers develop their designs. Would you recommend a digital notebook?

[@EverydayDazz]

No problem. Happy to share knowledge. Yeah I’ve been using my iPad for sketching and notes for about 4-5 years and I think it’s the way to go.

[@wa7293]

Why not just spec M16 bolts? You get way more tension and shear capacity, and the cost difference is peanuts in relation to the entire project fee. Only time I would spec M12 is if space is an issue

[@EverydayDazz]

These are resin anchors not standard bolts. Larger resin anchors don’t necessarily give you large tension capacity if your substrate is too thin if you lack the spacing needed for it

[@joelmwanza5528]

Interesting vidoes sir and by the way i currently finished my undergraduate in civil this year and wanted to go right away to do masters in structure eng what would you advise on that should I work first or just go direct into it

[@EverydayDazz]

See if your undergrad is enough to complete chartership. Personally I would say you learn more starting work than doing a masters. The only thing the masters is good for is getting chartership

[@kenantaylan3617]

Hi is there any specific reason for beam and column connection you use fin plate.

[@EverydayDazz]

Didn’t need an end plate connection as the forces were low

[@hugofreitas6384]

Hi from Portugal(europe)!!!Please keep doing videos.😉

[@analisis1572]

Can you tell me what software is used to explain this theory?

[@EverydayDazz]

I was using concepts app on the iPad. It’s the app I use to do all my sketching

[@joshuathomas3381]

Hey I’m currently a sophomore engineering student and I want to go into structural engineering but I’m not sure if it’s the right field for me any advice?

[@EverydayDazz]

Structural engineering is a good field to go into if you’re good with numbers and have a keen eye for detail. You don’t have to specialise into doing full on calcs once you get experience you can transition away and do more project management stuff. It depends what you want but I’d say starting in strictures can open doors for you later.

[@joshuathomas3381]

@@EverydayDazz thank you also I wanna to ask what do you think is the most valuable skills I should practice now to be a good structural engineer

[@EverydayDazz]

Design calculations, how things are built/put together, sketching, time management which leads to project management.

[@civilideas1925]

👍🏻

[@jamalali680]

Can you provide us with simple calculations instead of just showing us these details and leaving us perplexed?

[@edg4246]

I would use 2D Analysis using TEDDS. Saves a ton of time.

[@imranm737]

Just came across your channel, I wish I had your videos when I was studying my undergraduate programme! Please keep up the fantastic work! Do you have a LinkedIn I would love to follow your career.
