You are the best Mat, never forget that your junior civil engineers suscriptors are always waiting for your videos (:

[@MatPicardal]

Thanks so much Gonzalo, I'm in full out study mode right now and it's tough to get videos out, but maybe some basic Q&A's with very little editing while I'm studying until my SE exam in October.

@@MatPicardal Hi Mat! How can I get the matfiles?

[@thups9552]

Your channel is gold Mat. Never stop, you're truly inspiring many of us here. I had lost all interest in my engineering studies, then I found you and you lit that fire back on. Thank you brother🙏

[@josealfonsolamadrid4274]

Thank you, buddy. Greetings from a College in Mexico!

[@thescentedengineer3230]

Haha I remember coming across some masonry problems in my PE exam 😂🤣 good refresher! Awesome video!

[@beenay18]

What a gold you are. Unprecedented in structural/civil engineering field. You give me hope.

[@andrespiedracampoverde9571]

wow your channel is the best, greetings from Ecuador

[@red1.010]

Really nice video sir. I am a Filipino practising structural engineering here in the philippines and I've been watching your videos since you've started and is really thankful. . . it would also be really nice if you could give us guides in the design of Concrete Filled Steel Tube columns. Thank you and God bless.

Are you kidding me Mat? This is brilliant! Thank you, this will definitely help me in life and for my own studying for the SE. Thanks for sharing and would love any more resources you are willing to share!

[@jeremysquires426]

Mat: Thanks for the solid video. I am taking the PE Civil Structural in a few months. This video was a review of the basics in RMD. Thx!

[@ctyb2361]

This is a great video! Thanks for sharing the link to your resources. Keep up the good work.

[@mohammadmohi8561]

I love u @mat Picardal, you helping us so much. Specially ur content helped me sooooo much, since I completed my undergraduate from Australia now planning to do my Master degree in USA, so your content is so helpful for me to get familiarized with American standards.

mat picardal the boss, cheers brother

[@h.madramootoo6042]

Keep up the good work Mat.

[@JR-dy4sv]

Thank you very much for this kind of videos. It helps me a lot.

[@jakepfannenstiel7703]

I'm taking the Structural PE exam in October and masonry design is the area I'm least confident. This is amazing, thank you, and good luck in October!

[@adityabajaj6306]

Thank you Mat. Been wanting an CMU guide since some time!

[@Ayrton-Da-Silva]

Nice job with the video! im gonna read the reinforced masonry book!

[@nhatchuong9999]

Thank you very much. Very helpful for my coming SE exam.

[@jinghuaella1567]

Thank for sharing, your video is very useful ❤️❤️

[@emreuruk1842]

good job 👍🏻 I like the way how you explain thanks

[@DerMeis7er]

Well explained! Thank you very much

[@lb1923]

Well played Engr. More of this structural design of members please. Thanks thanks

I tried the "send the email link" but never received anything. I checked spam folders also

[@deekshithsundarshetty8482]

Very informative.. Thank you

[@ebenezertackey-otoo4775]

Thank you for sharing. Do you have notes on unreinforced masonry design?

[@nijilgeorgephilip5257]

Nice work!

[@skatebass19581958]

How do I apply this info to a real life scenario? I have my 8' masonry wall with bonding beam on top, grouted cell with vertical reinforcement every 48", fixed at the base and a precast lintel at top of every window and door? Do I obtain my moment from the reactions when the Load Combinations are applied?

[@izo345]

your eyes show that you have been having sleepless nights. Success in your upcoming exams, Hard work truly pays

[@TheAlanamez]

amazing videos !!!!!!!

[@phongduongdp]

Can you make a video about reinforcement concrete design, detailing,... following Eurocode? Thank you. Keep up your good work Mat ^^.

[@kolavithonduraski5031]

😆🏗... they don't use eurocode there... he needs to learn it... so its a a lot of effort for him. and in the practical work it is another type of designing than it is by hand when you are a student... so...learn it on your own my friend😆👍

[@KJKP]

“They usually fill these up with grout.” They ALWAYS fill cells containing reinforcement steel. Without grout, the tensile forces will not transfer to the steel. I say this because I once talked with an inspector in Georgia... went out to a homeowner complaint, his brick wall was noisy in heavy wind... He contacted the builder, who said, “That’s just the steel banging around when the wall moves.” Inspector: “Shouldn’t do that. The grout prevents it.” Builder: “Grout?” *** When you have vertical bars, you’ll have horizontal bars... and you often end up with a fully grouted wall, design controlled by seismic.

[@Lionstraps6551]

Thank you so much

[@acemaglente2424]

Thank you for the link

[@RT-ig5cs]

Thanks, will appreciate it if you did a similar one on wood design

[@yellowmoontonkawanative8920]

Is an 8x8x16 block good enough for a storm shelter above ground

[@tetsuya-scao]

You're the best 💪💪

[@mundingbmw4075]

Hi Matt, how about the design of cmu considering rhe effect of seismic? For example, internal partition wall in high rise building >500ft above grade.

[@treft3853]

Please make video on sloping ground or hilly areas ?

[@Jeff29E6]

Can you do a tutorial on designing ICF walls?

[@ing.erickosorio2887]

Hi Mat when trying to use masonry as shear walls does any of the procedures you showed apply ?

[@ManzanoGraphicStudio]

Engr. Im a CE grad, can you make basic tutorial for beginners in Staad? Analysing 1 storey bldg. ,

[@TonyMizuno]

Great stuff Mat! What’s your opinion on clay masonry units (bricks) compared to these concrete ones

[@ratonlo]

Hi Mat, Love the video. I cant get the link to work to download the files for your Summary sheets. I also checked the junk folder but no luck

[@kennethtoh]

erm, the summary sheet link isn't working, as in after putting in the email i don't receive any email for the sheet, is there another way to get the sheet?

[@MatPicardal]

Hi Kenneth, try checking your spam folder, if it's still not there, email me at [e-mail] and I'll send it over.

[@kennethtoh]

@@MatPicardal hey Mat, I just sent you an email about it. Thanks a lot!!

[@Tryingtolearnstructure]

Do you have similar sheets in SI Units?

[@jasonRhawt]

Is there a Canadian code for this? I cant seem to find anything online

[@samuelhan2710]

Hello Mat thanks for the video. Just want to confirm, isn't allowable stress in tension for grade 60 bar 24ksi and not 32ksi?

[@SirPoofyPants]

Not using grade 60 rebar for the steel?

[@uniqueindian217]

Sir can u plzz tell me how we make structural drawings for construction site?

[@Jabodie]

Quick question: I'm still working on my PhD, and next semester I have the opportunity to take either a graduate level foundations course or a undergraduate level masonry course, which will probably be my last opportunity to take either. I'm definitely leaning toward the foundations course since I feel I will learn principles there that will be helpful when thinking about structures, but a friend of mine who graduated mentioned that the masonry course is helpful for learning about a lot of basics in terms of masonry detailing. Any thoughts? Actually, a second question. In my state, you're allowed to take the PE exam prior to getting the necessary work experience needed to actually be licensed. So a friend of mine has been trying to convince me to take the exam while I am still getting my PhD, studying bit by bit while I'm still in school and borrowing his codes before they update the test to use the newest batch of codes. What do you think?

[@martjohnson2326]

Hey Mat, thanks for sharing. In practical world, are we allowed to use full capacity of fm value without special inspection? Correct me if I am wrong, there is a masonry/building code stating that if special inspection required then we are allowed to use the full capacity of fm value. If special inspection is not required then we are only allowed to use 50% of the capacity of fm value in our design.

[@carlosmendoza1312]

This is awesome. Thank you so much. What did you think of the exam? Im taking it this Spring and now am starting to realize there’s so much I dont know :/ Do you also have summary sheets for the other subjects?

[@Speed001]

So basically just part of my Statics and the Materials classes

[@serfer97able]

Great Video! I was wondering which software did you use for making those summary sheets, thanks!

[@borisdjokaboris6424]

Hey matt..Great stuff.....Please can you make a video for the greatest Structural analysis textbooks and help us with a link to download PDFs??

[@taimoorshehzad8646]

Hi I'm going to complete my Structural Engineering in coming month kindly need suggestions, how i start my career in this .. I've good command on softwares like ETABs, Safe .. plz guide me

[@bdeshiguy]

What programs do you use for designing? And what is their system Requirements?

[@CarlosPerez-mj5ps]

For masonry you should definitely try RAM Elements which includes a module to design bearing walls, shear walls, columns and lintels of reinforced and unreinforced masonry.

[@baoduong6162]

I would like to buy a printed book for this one but all of them have been sold out. Could you help me how can I purchase a printed book? thank you

How useful is theory as a professional structural engineer?

[@marcinbachowicz1457]

without theory you don’t actually know what you’re calculating, without knowing what im doing I would feel insecure kinda but it depends on people

I have not gotten the email from you with the information.
