What Every Structural Engineer Should Know

🖩This time we are delving into the top 10 most important skills all engineers should know. This is mainly for graduate structural engineers and engineers 3 years into the profession.
We talk about communication skills, basic maths, reading drawings and codes, construction methods and practices, Geotechnical engineering principles, drawings free body diagrams, shear and bending moment diagrams, simple beam equations, Lateral Torsional Buckling, Standards Materials Grades and standard sizes, mechanics of materials.

A primer on LTB in timber would be fantastic. Rarely talked about as much as steel.

[@DeepakKrishna11]

Very good points.

[@QuantumDestra]

Would love a video on LTB in both timber and steel beams!

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

Awesome. Will do it. :)

[@kylebujinkan]

I am with you 😊

[@kylebujinkan]

Thanks for the videos they are awesome and keep me motivated.

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

Thanks for the support kyle

[@sothattheng8624]

Please make the VDO about LTB in steel design in Autodesk Robot.

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

Sounds good

[@pcmellomello1831]

Caraco! Parabéns pela trajetória, pela fluência, pelas ideias, enfim, pelo caminho trilhado! Vc é um animal!! Via vc estudando qdo ia a GW, sabia que teria uma carreira da qual poderia se orgulhar! Abc, velho! PC

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

Fala PC. Valeu brother. Tudo de bom pra vc tbm

[@chiekeuzodinma3254]

​@@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus Sir please Do we need to do architectural drawings am from Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@chiekeuzodinma3254]

​@@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus Am kind of lost in this journey and don't know where to start Am almost in my finals

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

@@chiekeuzodinma3254 not if you're a structural engineer. You have to know how to read them though.

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

@@chiekeuzodinma3254 Everybody feels lost in the beginning. It's part of the process. You will figure out as time goes on.

At what age you started your structural journey

[@obadahalhalabi]

Hey mate! Thank you for the videos. I'm a structural engineer who used to work overseas and now moved to Australia. I want to work as a structural design engineer but I'm a bit worried about the different code, standards, materials, etc and I'm struggling to find the proper resources to learn all of these. Could you please give me a list of resources/books/websites where I can learn each component. For example where to learn about concrete design, foundation, soil, steel design. And also where to learn the relevant software that they use here and tell me what software you use. I'm good at ETABS and SAFE but I don't think they use them here. I just need guidance on what things I should learn and where I learn them from so that I can be confident to work as a design engineer here. Thank you so much and best of luck!

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

Nothing to worry mate. Engineering is the same everywhere. Codes unfortunately are paid and expensive to purchase in Australia. You may find something online for free. In the description of my videos, I have books I recommend. They are all based on Australian Standards. CCAA (concrete association australia) website has some good resources as well. You can have a look at the NCC (National Construction Code) which is free available online. Have a look at Hyne timber design. A lot of firms use it for residential timber projects. Concrete Masonry Association Australia website. I have a video on Software on the channel. I show the ones I use. I've never used ETABS, but I know that some large firms in Australia use it. Hope that helps

Olá!! Parabéns pelo conteúdo e pela fluência!!! Alguma dica para dar um up no inglês técnico? Eu trabalhei por dois anos como projestista em Portugal e acabei de mudar para a Irlanda, falo inglês, mas estou lutando para conseguir ampliar meu vocabulário.

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

Oi Karina. Por que vc foi passar frio ai na Irlanda haha Vem pra Australia :) Eu sinceramente nao tenho nenhuma dica magica. Aprendi lendo normas, livros tecnicos e assistindo videos no KZbin como os meus. Eu tinha um caderninho de vocabulario e anotava todas palavras, termos tecnicos e escrevia frases usando essas palavras. Tbm tentava implementar essas palavras no meu dia a dia pra cementar na memoria. Boa sorte na sua jornada ai

[@karinafelix8946]

Olá @@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus. Austrália está nos planos!! Obrigada pelas dicas e boa sorte na sua jornada também! :)

[@nessgema9588]

Sir, what is the best way to learn to draw bending moment diagrams?

[@zambotwu]

What level are u

[@AliRaza_jjj]

seriously a book for retaining wall design 😂😂😂its the basics for every civil engineer

[@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus]

After finishing uni, I honestly didn't know how to design the footings, footings spanning soft spots, design the stem, masonry walls design, reinforcement for crack control, the standards I should use, how basement walls work, load transfer, how the engineering offices in Australia design Retaining walls, compaction behind retaining wall. I wouldn't sell anything I wouldn't buy myself.
