Simplify your structural calculations - overly complicated analysis

[@imranm737]

Sorry but I just had to comment. These types of videos are an incredible insight into a structural design consultancy! I have not seen anything like this anywhere on KZbin. Truly adding value here mate! Not behind a paywall just free to consume. I really appreciate that!

[@hshhsjhahsvs7728]

I hope you'll continue making these type of videos. Its a great learning opportunity for the rest of us. Keep it up.

Best 15 mins of my day! Great job, love to see more like this!

[@cypchard]

Just came across your channel. These videos are very helpful. I hope you post many more,

Fitzroy systems SAND software is really good for graduates compared to Tedds.Its great you emphasis keeping the calculations short.A large volume Of calculations makes it impossible for a checker to spot any errors.

Very Great video can i get a link to a tutorial for such calc report preparation for rcc structure

Disagree with the Snow load comment. Snow drift can be quite substantial, and can often govern connection designs. But completely agree with the detailing on the drawing!!

Nice to see eurobeam being used. I always export all parts so the bending moment can be checked it makes for a more intuitive check. I think for domestic projects the explanation of the project is not required if your mark up is detailed enough and you take the time to annotate what is required and why etc... Do you not also need to specify this ceiling ply thickness as per the PD 6693-1:2012 document as it falls into the engineers responsibility. Turns out technically even for trussed rafter we are liable for this and not many engineers actually do it, . Based off the size and presumed frontage 12.5mm would work but it removed the need for the sarking/ sheaving in the rafters and is easier to install.

There appears to be minimum snow load along the valley, and maximum out at the high points. I'm not familiar with the BS snow code, but I would have expected to see snow drifting - so there would be more snow load along the valley along the centre line of the building.

Structural Elements Design Manual by Draycott, T Is a useful book in my opinion which kept me off Tedds for the a good amount of time after graduating. Tedds is useful but I’m happy now in my career (3yrs in) that I have stayed off it mostly as I have a good grasp of how elements behave and what checks are not necessary in certain situations

You always provide the best mentorship for structural engineering practice.

Kindly recommend for graduate who has only studied new structure but unaware of victorian houses ,especially analysis of trusses. And also how to evaluate structural cracks ?

[@SCRSAMI]

Love it. Its Helping me so much!

[@jackroberts301]

I don't think it's necessary to explain everything in your calculations. The verifier, or the person who reviews the calculations, should run his or her own calculations to determine whether or not the specified elements are adequate!

[@EverydayDazz]

No one has time or money to run calculations twice. I’d only run my own check calculation if I thought something was wrong.

I have been working on such projects from India for our UK office since last 15+ years so I was very happy to have found your channel that brings me closer to the environment that I have only experienced remotely and also seeing your work which is mostly how I have worked gives me a kind of satisfaction that is difficult to explain but it resonates with what I feel how a structural engineer should work.

@@EverydayDazz You've been paid to check, haven't you?

[@Paul0tim]

Exactly.. And when you submit hand calcs.. The same complaint will arise "I can't understand what you've written"

[@EverydayDazz]

Checking and QA-ing calcs isn’t the same as doing the calcs again.
