Thanks a lot Brendan, I've been designing Steel Structures for more than 4 years now and everytime someone asks me to roughly estimate the sizes of the members I always feel uncomfortable giving out sizes unless I've modeled the structure. This is really handy.

Mr. Hasty, HUGE thank you for this video, i have to be honest and say this is one of my favorite videos by you, these rule of thumb is so so helpful when you are new and need atleast a starting point to beginning your design and member sizing. As you are aware, design is an iterative process so the closer your initial assumption, the faster you can complete the design. this is the kind of thing for some reason, atleast here, we are not thought, it might be different at the universities over where you are, i think . the theory and formulas are great, but id argue that these bits of practical pointers are almost just as important. this video was pure gold mate. cheers for leaving the numbers in the description. You continue to impress and soar past expectations, Mr. Hasty.

Thanks Sage, Glad I have exceeded your expectations. University is the same here, they focus on theory not practical applications, I only leant them after starting to work. Agree it is a very important for engineers to know. Hope to keep impressing.

Thanks for this video. As an architect, this is really helpful for me too. It saves my time on things that I should assume for rough structure when I am designing a building and this would help me better make coordination with my fellow structural engineers. Do you recommend a book where rough structural useful concepts and rule of thumb are recommended for architects for structures of brick and motor, RC design, steel design, timber framing and shell structures?

Hi Wong, I have a video on concrete; it would require several books to cover these topics. Also, I have yet to see any good one other than the structural engineer's handbook by Fonia Dobb, but that is more for structural engineers. I will be putting together PDF and will take some time to ensure it is good.

Hello Mate. Your continuous content creation and knowledge transfer is well appreciated. I'd like to get clarification on the bolt connection aspect on 2 of your episodes. On this episode @ minute 1:30 you mentioned that no.s of bolt = member depth/100. Whereas in your episode "The rules of thumb for steel design" @ minute 13:10 you specify no.s of bolt = depth/10. What's the difference pls? Or which is correct? Thanks

I recently got admission at University of Wollongong for my Masters in Civil(Majors in Structural Engineering) and your videos are very inspiring for me as I am seeing first time that an experience person in this field is teaching us with practical knowledge. I have been doing structural RCC design in Etabs and Sap 2000 from a while bcz basically I am from Pakistan and I am moving to Australia in Feb 2023. I have seen many of your videos and you always encourage your juniors. Can you please guide me, I should work more on Etabs, Sap 2000 and Tekal structures if I want to be a successful Structural Engineering at Australia or do I have to add more software? Any recommendations will be too much worthy for my career. Thanks a lot for what you are doing for us

Great video and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am a site engineer and we use portal frames for our buildings. Regarding the haunch length the rule of thumb is an 1/8 of the frame span? For portal frame columns only the ratio span to depth (up to 50) affects the size? Does the ratio of span to height of column play any role?
@BrendanHasty2 жыл бұрын
Hi Argiris, the height and stiffness of the column would impact, as a starting point it is good to still start at a span on 50. then detail computations can confirm, but you should still be in the ballpark.

Hi Brendan! I am considering to studying structural engineering however i am having issue with making the right decision. As far as my research structural engineering is not too easy as you would have to learn all theories and principles which takes time and lots of effort. On the hand , the salary is not as good as it should be. I have friends who are strctural engineers making 70grand while my other friends who are trades making almost double. My question to you is it worth putting all these effort and time ?
@BrendanHasty3 жыл бұрын
Hi Murtaza, structural engineers can start low but can increase over time. But I would recommend that you do something you would find more enjoyable, you don't get rich on a salary look into compound interests. Also typically trades are great while you are young but get harder when you are older. Hope this helps yes engineering is can be alot of effort to learn but I enjoy it.
