Struct Poke, this is an example of story drift output and it is close to your l/500 something that you specified, please see attached file. hope this helps.

kevo, no i'd didnt model the cladding on the building frame. i was thinking that the structure described here is made of bricks. Struct..., you might use the command in STAAD, Story Drift, with this command you can see the output based on limiting deflection that you are talking about, the...

Brick veneer? so in that case you can model it as an eight noded element a good model can by a 1x1x1 block and all you can get from STAAD are element stresses and deflection of course, based from this ouptput you can design the reinforcements needed, this the most exact method for this type of...

based on your model, and your editor you have specified that all your deflections are limited to this l//500, but this is way too conservative, your structure is not ductile, steel is usually ductile 180 to 360 would be fine, as for my judgement, you dont have to specfiy it to be L/500, just let...

On the theoretical side of Architecture, because I studied also BS Arch for two years and wasnt able to finish due to financial reasons, anyways, they dont have much idea about in depth Structural Engineering in their curriculum, in my opinion they are not qualified to sign or analyze strucural...

What is the name of your company? How do we apply?

Im interested, my experience is mostly on Structural/Civil and little bit of Transpo.

It is only you, who could decide that. If you check Cali website for FE, and check the requirements for FE admission you can assess yourself that you are qualified or not, and might send your FE application and payment. How come Cali Board allowed Techs. and non degree holder to write FE.

I was planning to do that and then I saw the perjury note at the bottom of the form.. :D So, "PERJURY", what are afraid of if you are being true with your education, perjury pertains for submitting false statement. If you have nothing to hide go for it. Good Luck.

I think in CA, If you wanted to write FE/EIT Exam it doesn't matter if you have degree or not, all you have to do is submit the EIT Exam form, payment and you ITIN. As far PE Exam is concern you may try other States, like NY or Alabama, you will be evaluated fairly based on their Education law...

Actually i work in one of the Civil Engineering Consulting firms here in Northern Alberta, locally in this area, I would say most bridge engineering firms have their main offices in Edmonton. To name a few you may contact BPTech DNW, Sheunhage Consulting Engineers and etc. BTW you need also to...

I was wondering what loads are applied on your frame if it is pure lateral load on joints of frame, you can use Portal method or Cantilever method, this only involves static eqns. and that would be the quickiest. or assume points of inflection on beams and columns for gravity loads and also...

Yes, and yes. Yes I sealed it, our seal as Structural Engineer back is "DRY SEAL" not rubber stamp with ink. I have designed almost all types of structures there, from Concrete to Timber to trusses to 3-D trusses, DAMS, high rise etc. I have been practicing it for 12 years before moving in North...

Actually kevo, I have a PE license in my home country ( written it and pass) and I got it at a very young age of 21 years old, after that I pursue MS and Structural Engineer in my home country. Now, I'm here in North America and I'm trying to get that US PE and SE License or PhD if I have more...

I remember there was one project that involves a specialist and I was hired to do the job because one of my researches in Graduate studies on Structural Engineering was applicable, and an ordinary PE without this expereince or Graduate studies wont qualify to do the job and my paper was about...

I Strongly Agree... I have BSCE and MS and currently working under PE's and some Technologists and non degreed TEch's too, these people above me are senior and company shareholders, they even got the title project manager. and etc.

there are a lot things why an indivudal cant be proud of their MS, 1. They took an "easy" MS, MBA or without thesis. 2. Their thesis topic is very easy, or their professor had made everything ready for them. 3. They took an MS not inline with their major. 4. Their thesis did not contribute...

They two different things, these are my personal opinions and experience, I have BSCE and MS PE, can make you stamp drawings and documents and standout new engineers or EIT's, while MS will mostly lead you to a broader horizon, like, advancement in knowledge compared to a BS with PE, more...

MSCE- Structural is my personal choice, I have been there, and now studying for PE Civil/Struct for Fall.
