Great video. In practice, analysis and design is iterative and will happen at the same time as the drawings, especially because the architect and other folks need to coordinate their drawings with ours as their design developes.

@symonortega Год назад

The most important part in all this process is the drawing part. It really does reflect all the info you got out from the design and in some extent, it can provide some insight and make you cuestion if you are designing something good or bad.

@BigDripper1of1 Год назад

How do you define important

@symonortega Год назад

@@BigDripper1of1 all the considerations you took in the analysis and design of the elements should be reflected in your drawing plans. For example, in a steel structure you consider that in your base plate, it will be a pinned support when designing it on whatever application you use for, but in your drawing plans you specify and draw it as a moment connection is something that can't happen in this case. One may think that's impossible to make such mistakes, but in reality that's the hardest task of being an engineer.

@MatPicardal Год назад

Very true! If our designs don't make it on the drawings correctly, they will be constructed wrong and our analysis goes to waste, not to mention the building may be built incorrectly with regards to the engineer's intent.

@symonortega Год назад

You can start by refreshing what you know about strength of materials, statics and the courses of structural analysis. But I'll tell you to focus more on the part of strength of materials than anything else, it's very important to know this because all the theory used on explaining those 3 materials, uses a lot of information from strength of materials sometimes. Also try to always imagine or illustrate the situations when you begin the course, it helps a lot than just seeing a bunch of numbers and equations.

@myvmix 11 месяцев назад

First rule Foundation, second rule foundation, third and final rule foundation PERIOD!! The problem with nearly all designs is 1. Corruption. i.e. bribes, use of different materials by the builders/contractors, cutting corners. etc etc. 2. Miscommunication. 3. What's designed is rarely if ever translated to a build i.e. last minute changes, additions, subtractions etc etc. 4. Costs are ever increasing. 5. Last but not least is poor or incorrect design. Overcome all of the above and the build might be completed to everyones satisfaction. But until then we will get more Surfsides.

I'm curious to know what is included in an architect formation in the USA, I don't know if it is the same but the 1st phase of analysis that you mention doesn't work like that here in Italy! As an architecture student we are tought to design (roughly or so) the structure, even using structural engineering softwares like SAP, and THEN you go to an engineer to properly define the job. In this way you can keep everything under control, given that you won't have to apply massive changes for unespected issues. In the USA the architects don't have the structural responsability of a project and that's why or they simply "don't want to risk it"? Thanks whoever will answer!!

@defendermodsandtravels Год назад

As Structural Engineer of many years experience (qualified before you were born I guess), I would point out that there's a conceptual phase way before the analysis phase. The ultimate success of the project is probably decided at this stage - have a good structural concept and it will be easy to design and build, have a bad concept and it will be a struggle until the end of the project. It's a big mistake to get involved in the analysis too early in the project cycle.

It depends what they are using to do the analysis. Some programs require the engineer to calc their own loads. Column and foundation loads are almost always hand calced. Quick design checks during CA are also often done by hand. It's all simple math.
