What Should Every Structural Engineer Know

There are enough equations and formulas in mathematics, physics and engineering to drive any structural engineer crazy. The question is then, should Structural Engineers know all of them? If not, how many should they know by heart? Should they focus more on my soft skills or hard skills?

How Engineers Design Buildings for Wind and Earthquake

The concept of lateral stability in buildings is perhaps one of the most critical parts of structural design. In this lesson we will explore different stability systems like bracing walls, cross bracings, truss-frames, portal frames, shear walls, cantilever block columns and understand how engineers employ these systems to ensure our buildings do not collapse.

Learn How to Design a Reinforced Concrete Masonry Retaining Wall STEP-BY-STEP.

This E-book is primarily for students and practicing engineers who want to learn or need some brushing-up on the design of reinforced concrete masonry blocks cantilever retaining walls and basement walls.
Scope of this E-book includes the design of footing for shear, bending, bearing pressure, design of masonry wall for out-of-plane shear, bending, stability checks etc with Australian code references (AS3600 & AS3700). It includes drawings and detailing of the reinforcement.
