I would say the first thing you need to do is look at what the requirements are for being an architect where you plan on working. Having a structural engineering degree doesn't mean you will be designing buildings. Remember that architecture and structural engineering are linked, but are...

Although I agree that you must know the standards and rules and can't really complain otherwise, I find it kind of funny that people are thinking that a mechanical engineering degree would cause you to be less qualified in structures than a civil degree. In fact, mechanicals are probably more...

Oh, forgot to answer your question. The NDS National Design Specification For Wood Construction includes the Design Values in the back. So yes, you have the design values.

If you order the package, it comes with the following: ASD/LRFD National Design Specification (NDS) For Wood Construction 2005 Edition ASD/LRFD Manual for Engineered Wood Construction 2005 Edition ASD/LRFD Structural Wood Design Solved Example Problems 2005 Edition ASD/LRFD Wind &amp...

Is it a wood framed house? In general, contractors will frame the walls flat on the slab, and then raise them all on one day. It makes framing much easier, as they can snap lines on the slab and get everything flat, straight and level. Now, I don't actually know what they should be doing, and...

The job market is definitely incredibly tough these days, especially here in California. I was 1 of only about 20 students out of a graduating class of 160 that had jobs lined up right out of school (graduated June 2011 as well). A couple of quick things that I noticed that really helped me...

-------------- Moved this from the Civil technical discussion forum ------------- About 6 months ago, I decided that I wanted to try and write a reinforced concrete cross section analysis program. Since then, I have slowly developed the program in my spare time, and at this point, it is...

Sounds good. I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be kept as a forum just for the exam. Thanks.

Is there a separate structural forum here? All of the civil disciplines seem to be grouped together under this forum.

I took a course in college on seismic design of reinforced concrete, and as part of the course (though I went a little beyond the scope of the assignment), I wrote a program in Excel that generated axial force-moment diagrams for rectangular and circular sections by slicing the section into...

About 6 months ago, I decided that I wanted to try and write a reinforced concrete cross section analysis program. Since then, I have slowly developed the program in my spare time, and at this point, it is fairly far along. I was hoping that some engineers could test the program for me and...
