Got my construction exam tomorrow. Your content is so helpful!
You could make a 'green battery' using one of the volcanic cones . Have a tram fitted with a dynamo and a number of electric car battery's on a track that spirals around the cone from top to bottom. Have the track slope in towards the cone . The decent can be controlled so it builds up some speed before the gearing / dynamo is enguaged via the load placed on the dynamo. Very near the bottom the resistance can be incressed to slow the trolly. Severial battery's the carriage and the dynamo would provide a lot of force. Just need the maths to know if its viabile. It would be cheap due to the site and parts, the location and proximity of workers. Close to the demand and educational, maybe even a tourists destination.
Hello. I have heard that back in 2005 a mentally ill pilot threatened to crash into the Sky Tower. I have heard that it was only a small plane so it wouldn't have been another 9/11 but what if a large commercial plane was purposely crashed into the Sky Tower? Would it have been a repeat of 9/11 with people trapped in the floors above the impact with no means of escape? And would the Tower collapse in such an event or would it be different from the Twin Towers getting hit since it has a different structure? Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Enjoyed the tenival discussion. If you wouldnlike some vonstructive criticism, please improve dictation and intonation. Breaking down the video into sections and Doing multiple takes may help
BRENDAN..... where have you been all my life.... UNBELIEVABLE, just bonza beauty information and so well presented and such an important topic, bloody love it
AWESOME video and information buddie, very impressive
architechts are nothing compared to engineers. The best architechts are in fact engineers at heart.
Thank you for this awesome video! By the way, did you create the animation for the structural elements yourself, or did you use pre-made ones? It looks really great!
The animations was created in the editing software from scratch. Thanks for noticing!
Thanks Brendan for the structural forces behavior. Continue to inspire and sharing the knowledge. Malik from Barbados
Thank you for your ongoing support mate!
we need more specified topics like outrigger and staff like that
Chief, which university or college did you go to?
I went to Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
Good explanation. Really Appreciate your videos. Thank you

Whatever you do, don't become a line item on a contractors cost listing.
Hello Sir Can you suggest a good book for PEB design.for all kind mamber
Sir, is there a provision that the location of welded splicing of steel column should not be located at column-girder connection? Thank you.
I think you mean construction engineering and management
Ca no you talk about Construction engineer (builder) vs structural engineer
Builders is under building technology not civil
You mean construction engineering and management
Thank you ❤
Great video! The black boxes in existing structural engineering software & the tedious task of constantly updating calculation templates in spreadsheets or mathcad is exactly what drove us to develop CalcBook!
My Experience in color is Red - Consultant, Green - Main con, Blue - Subcon
Using colour markups is good
site engineers knew this coloring engineering 😂 😂
lol
Dude! Are you high or constipated?
Hi! Great video! About galvanic corrosion, the usual thing that happens in the project (esp. loosely coordinated ones, at least here in ID) is that another contractor came in without knowing what galvanic corrosion means, and starts welding stuff. Saw it once during my whole career (which isn't that long). It's really rare though. Most people here install the facade on the concrete surface covering the steel so everything should be safe. Also, should be noted for the international audience, that the rule of thumb works with the specification of mild steel where you're at. Chinese steel have slightly different standard.

Most offices are top heavy with managers pushing paper. Last office I was in had an Engineering Manager and a Manager of Engineering. ???? Hours burned up.....
The manager of Engineering all read the book called <bullshit jobs>

The trouble with that connection was that the horizontal part of the C beam section was being used as a horizontal cantilever and the vertical web was not being used directly to hold the load. The washer and nut underneath the C beam was too small and if a larger pressure plate spanning the width of the box beam such that the thick pressure plate would span the width and transfer the load directly to the vertical webs rather than in a cantilever effect on the horizontal parts. The fact that the design was changed aggravated the effect but even the original design was wrong due to the horizontal parts of the C beam was being used as a cantilever and the welding of the two C sections was absolutely terrible. It was that small washer and that small nut that were at fault as they did not transfer the load to the vertical web of the C beam. A thick pressure plate bridging the whole width of the two C section would have transferred the load directly to the two vertical webs and that would have been more than strong enough. I am surprised that no one saw this cantilever loading on the horizontal parts of the C sections.
Great informative video
Thanks for your time to watch!
Hey Brendan. Nice video :) I'm trying to find an editor to help my channel. Where do you find yours? Thanks and great work :)
Hi man, not editor related but I just wanted to thank you for your design book. Got it a few months ago as I transitioned into full time structural design and it has been very helpful. Just wondering if there are any other resources you'd recommend for a newbie like me, cheers!
Hey does anyone have a standard check sheet, i.e. an Excel sheet you tick items you’ve checked off?
Great video Brendan, it took me back to my days as a CAD technician before pursuing a career in engineering. Blueprint reading is critical for all facets in construction and as engineers, we must have a keen eye for reviewing drawings and providing the relative information to support such drawings. Malik from Barbados
Hi Malik, your ongoing support is greatly appreciated. Drawing as engineers is really our deliverable and a lot of engineers overlook this I enjoy jumping into CAD and draw up some typical details.
Very helpful video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad that you enjoyed it, hope the tips come in handy
I'm a structural engineer and I find this not useful. This guide feels more like for students rather than for professionals. I only find colour grading markups to be interesting. The rest felt too general very touch and go. If you want to teach students fine, but if you want to teach professionals you need to go a lot more in depth for each topics. And always use sections to explain plans or use plans to explain sections. It brings more depth to whatever you are explaining.
Why is civil engineering so tied to AutoCad? It feels so archaic compared to parametric solid modeling CAD systems. And making design changes is trivial with modern software compared to AutoCad.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@thealienrobotanthropologist Autocad is used everywhere thus the most credible and the most recognised. In this profession, it is more about how to convey your idea across efficiently and clearly and AutoCAD is the easiest to do so. I'm not sure what modelling software you are referring to... but even the latest ones I.e REVIT/TEKLA STRUCTURES/CSI/ROBOT All are based from AutoCAD's display and functionality. What software are you referring to that makes Autocad look primitive?
One of the problems I see these days is that drafties today are not drafties anymore, they are line tracers. Old school drafties used to have the skill to set up drawings and backgrounds for markup, that skill is now lost. All my markups are now in the digital domain, and it will be a cold day in hell before I pick up a physical red pen again!
Hi Kahuna, I totally agree, a good draftie is worth a lot and seems to some to be undervalued. All markup should be digital, you can leverage so much more with a good digital markup procedure.
You deserve more views and subs
Thanks Bolang, your support helps. Hoping to get more sub too it can take time
Very good explanation and editing , hidden talent
Thank for the support and it is a dieing art.
to be honest, I did not understand a thing!
but did you learn anything
Nice framework . works for any colaborative project.(markup colors)
hope you start using the tips
Great video Brendan, learned about the effective use of colour in the markups, will incorporate in my future markups.
Hi Aussie Engineer, thanks for watching and the support
Aspiring engineer here. Tradesman by day. What a great video, you gave me lots of stuff to look up and read about. Keep up the good videos!
Thanks for your kind words Marc!

I quit the engineering profession. Unhinged, menopausal lady boss was constantly throwing tantrums which made it hard to do anything . My dad married a feminist communist who was the same way. These women destroy families, offices and everything they touch.
Nice information sir 👍
thanks for the basics
Glad that you enjoyed
Hi Brendan, great concepts as always..stay safe Malik
Hi Malik, thanks for your continued support, and glad you enjoyed it Brendan
What about the element type usea by the FEA?
Hi Charlie typically you want to start with a more simplified model and build up to a more complext model, this help you debug the complext designs. Thanks for watching Brendan
