When you say “average” story drift do you mean averaging each story within a building. Also if some stories have much smaller/larger floor area than others, do you do a weighted average based on floor area? Thanks again for another awesome video.
Great video!Thank you a lot! In case that i have very stiff shear walls in the corners and a few columns between them (starting from the middle of the span) , i have to consider column deflection to average drift of vertical elements?
Great video as usual, Rich. Did you compete at the Head of the Charles Regatta? I was lucky enough to be there in 1997 in a LWT8. It was quite a treat coming from a California school. I loved my years rowing in college.
Hi! Thanks a lot for your continuous effort. I have a general question: i will take the PE Civil Water. If I encounter a construction problem when I choose the Water Discipline , is it the same difficulty as problems in the construction discipline exam? Let’s say again I take the water discipline, would be a problem about soil and geotechnical, be the same difficulty as I take the geotechnical discipline?!
I have this concert because my major in BSc was environmental engineering and we didn’t take any transportation or geotechnical courses. I did the practice exam issued by NCEES for water discipline and I found the problems regarding soil, geotechnical, and transportation are difficult because I don’t have prior knowledge. So i am planning to get the basic of these topics by reviewing practice problems from geotechnical discipline and transportation discipline that are here in youtube.
