I have been a structural engineer in the US for over 15 yrs and this is the single greatest explanation for retaining walls!

Nice video man, needed to do one of these about two weeks ago and coding it up in MathCad was actual cancer. Credits to you for making a fully functional excel sheet!

We have already studied theory in class,it would have been better if you teached us how to model and design this on software

@BEngHielscher

5 ай бұрын

If you’ve got access to software that does the design for you, often inputting and setting it up is pretty self explanatory. I think understanding the theory and underlying concepts is what most beginners need first :)

It was very helpful, thanks man.

I have made a guide/excel sheet on reinforced concrete that is available already but perhaps I will make another video on this. Thanks!

It is better understanding Presure prisom volume

Hey can you also make a video on portal frame design

Awesome ,can you do one for steel structures too, thanks

Hey BEng hielscher I just discovered your channel and it's been really helpful, and I really like the simplicity in ur explanation. I just wanted to know what softwares you used to make the diagrams in your notes?

Prokon is easy and optimise design

Good day. This a very informative video but what softwares will you advice for someone who's just getting started with structural design

This is great 😊 although I think you missed out on seismic forces which typically governs. Does your excel sheet include earthquake forces? 😮

Hey Ben, Your videos are becoming more and more educational. Wishing you 100k subscribers this year.

May i ask how long and how many do you design structure in a single day? I'm planning to be a structural design engineer but i'm worried that I won't be able to pursue it due to my hand & wrist health problem.

Is it possible to get the notes only without the spreadsheet?

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! So in theory this is same principle one could follow to design the walls of an in-ground swimming pool? I suppose the water pressure would work in our favor but we need to calculate for the worst case scenario, i.e. an empty pool.

@BEngHielscher

5 ай бұрын

My pleasure! Yes, the same theory applies* and you are correct, the worst case for an in-ground pool is when it’s empty. *If you have a long pool where you could consider the wall to be bending one way (cantilever action) then all the same design procedures would be similar to a cantilever retaining wall. However for short pools, the bending in the walls is two ways so considering the bending in these cases to be one way will result in a very uneconomical design.

@@BEngHielscher Thank you Ben! Could you clarify what you mean by two ways bending in short pools? I understand that the wall deflection on a short pool would be limited by the other perpendicular walls close to it, working like a membrane. Is this what you are referring to?

@BEngHielscher

5 ай бұрын

I mean that rather than the wall just acting like a cantilever, it would also bend between the two perpendicular walls

hello engr iam a 7 years experience in structure design in Dubai and i am willing to migrate to australia, so shall you recommend fpr me a course to adapt to australian market so i will be ready to work in my current job?

Are calculations according to eurocodes?

You could adjust the load factors used in the spreadsheet to suit eurocodes :)

Hi you are going to sell this excel file $49 but $49 is Max in India we cannot afford this. We like all your videos and subscribe, we do everything but this money is a lot in India, in return you can provide it for free or for less money if you want.Because I have no knowledge and you explained it very well to me I watch all your videos and learn from them, I just request you to give me the files for free. 🎉

I could have swore you labelled this as “for beginners”. I gave absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

Unique and helpful content.. all the best 🤎.
