What an amazing and knowledges full person.

[@wooski9022]

Love the videos! I have a question about a cantilever balcony conversion I have coming up, and haven’t had any luck finding anything so far.

[@michaelacheampong2869]

Great Video, I found you on Quora. Keep it up.

Hi Robin. Great series of videos! Just a question about the assumed roof load, would this be the same for a hipped roof as opposed to pitched? Or might it be less given a lot of the weight is on the external walls?

[@iaincrawford5472]

Great video Robin.

[@moi984]

Very nice explained!!

[@aranbrooks1695]

Hi, interesting video. I have a question. If you have a load like a stud wall past the mid point, do you need to add that to the calculation. Thanks.

Hi Robin great video well explained KZbin is great ! are calculations basicly the same or different for beam insertion or lintel insertion on exterior brick wall please as I need to make an opening or 1200 mm and insert a lintel or beam above it ? We had calculations done for an interior beam as you are explaining now and this has been done now i woud Realy appreciate some advice as I Realy like to understand things like this thank you ,, Barry

Thanks for the very insightful video. What is the British standard / code where these values were obtained?

Starting off taking this course today, we just bought property. The property has a 28-30 span creek and we are considering putting a bridge over the creek to get to the rear of the property.

Hi Robin - thank you for the very informative series of videos - I am interested in how you would calculate the floor and roof loadings shared between 2 beams running from gable end to gable end - as in your 'How a loft conversion works' - this is not assuming that the front and rear walls are also providing support - Many thanks.

Hi Robin, thanks for the video on how to calc up a beam, can you tell me how I go about viewing the remaining videos in the playlist? Ive already subscribed to your channel, cheers Nick

[@naveedahmed5509]

thanks

[@willdixon9249]

Great video. If for example you were calculating the load for making a door opening wider, do you only need to consider the UDL above the clear span of the beam or the overall length including the bearing either side. Thanks

[@aerialandlasersurveys9075]

Robin, do you do the LSS videos?

[@leonpaul5773]

Great videos. If I were to do the calculations as stated, would I still need a structural engineer to come and inspect it or would these calculations be sufficient to show building control officer before they sign off?

[@YusufKhan-bd7dk]

Hi Robin, very helpful video. Could you tell me where I would find the values for permanent loads in the eurocodes. Many thanks

[@mr.ship099]

Great

[@deldridg]

Lovely and concise. I'm a bit suspicious though - your English and spelling are too good for an injineer mate! Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave (also an injineer)

[@kenantaylan3617]

Thanks Robin for everything you calculated load for second story ceiling and roof how about first story ceiling load?.
