How Engineers Design Houses: What Structural Engineers Actually Do 

I‘m a structure engineer from China, seeking for a job in Australia.There are really not only many differences between China and Australia, but also many similars in construction sector.The plight we face is the same. I really learn a lot from your video, cheers！

I really love watching this kind of vids while doing some of my structural school works

Really good video Ben. You nailed the strategies to craft a RU-vid video: hook, problem, relatable questions, credibility. I'm still experimenting with different approaches to figure out this RU-vid stuff 😅. Cheers

Great video. Graduated 10 yrs ago, worked as structural design for few months but never had someone to show me the calculations. I do pretty good on exercises (single structures)but in real life, all the structures connected I don’t know how to start.

Great video man. Learned of some new terminology that I'll have to look into!

I just subscribed after watching this video "How I Would Learn Structural Engineering If I Could Start Over"... I am a third year student in bachelor program in civil engineering and I had backlogs in Solid Mechanics. Now without those basics I am really having issues in Structural Engineering subjects. But your videos are giving me confidence. Thanks a lot

Thank you, I've always been curious about structural design for residential homes. They just don't tell you this in uni.

I hope you can inspire more people to go into the trade. We don’t have enough structural engineers!

You are amazing buddy

Can you talk about the future of Structural Engineering, especially with AI when there's software doing automatic generative design of the building's structural design when an architect finish designing a building?

What is the name of the software on 6:06 that shows the wind, snow and seismic information? and by the way I love your videos

Plz can you help me for my dissertation, steel portal frame calculation

As someone who has done residential engineering design in Sydney, I find it frustrating that most builders don't care much about our details on-site and think our specifications are outdated or impractical. Also, the industry can't support career growth, so you'll need to leave it behind at one point and proceed to multiple-level buildings or migrate to infrastructure jobs. Budget is always tight for jobs in this industry, so real estate teams and architects get the most out of it and leave the remaining for the engineer. Each job had to be rushed! the sad part is that our plans are required for paper or council requirements. I loved my job back then; there was a lot of problem-solving with creative architecture design, but I had to leave.

Hi! Is it allowed for a structural engineer to draw a plan of a residential house like an architect do? Have you ever tried to create architectural drawings?

Hey I'm searching a structutral designer job can you help me ..?

You skipped the permit, which requires submission of calculations and the plans-which have to show the intent to the satisfaction of the local jurisdiction. An engineer who understands the local process intimately (even knowing the plans examiner personally) is a huge help in the moving the project forward.

Is structural engineer worth now?? Pleas answer

They don't. Architects do. Structural Engineers size the sections, and maybe get a material changed if the architect allows it. All for shit pay and long unpaid overtime. Glad I've changed career
