OK - first of all the images I'm showing come from the errata which is out for public consumption, so shouldn't be a biggie. PDf is Here Given: I'm on part 'c' as shown in the errata - design column C-2. No big deal - I've got a tributary of 30'x15' with dead, live, seismic (not shown...

Has anyone taken any of the CSI certification exams? I took the 'first' one back while in school ('99) and am now going for the second - the CCS exam. Anyone been here and done that?

Just saw this and thought it was pretty interesting. Use the slide bar at the bottom... http://www.documaga.com/wp-content/uploads...eofuniverse.swf

We just got a docking station for my wife's HP Compaq 6535b Notebook PC (XP, SP3) and the setup is as easy and obvious as expected. Here's my problem though -- when we dock the laptop, the wireless adapter turns off. This poses a problem for us as we don't have an easy way to 'wire' the dock to...

I'm looking for span tables for diamond plate to be used as a floor. I've gotten some *old* info from someone here in the office, but I would like to see something more recent if possible. Does anyone have anything they can share or direct me to? Either my Google is weak, or there is nothing...

I've got a STAAD model that's a 3-story simple moment frame. See the screen cap attached. Let's look at the column on the right. I've specified that I need to keep deflection to h/500 as follows DJ1 1 MEMB 1 TO 3 DJ2 4 MEMB 1 TO 3 DFF 500 MEMB 1 TO 9 It is my understanding that's how it's...

Long story short, we are going to try to keep vehicles from hitting the existing rails by placing a new guardrail in front of the...

I am working on a repair of existing press-plate trusses. Some of the existing press plates have either torn in two or withdrawn. We want to use a plywood gusset to repair the joint, but I have no idea how to come about this. It was suggested that I simply look at the thickness of the plywood...

So I finally got to sign my first set of plans yesterday. Nobody released any doves, no marching bands came by, just some strange virgin-type jokes coming from some of the old guys. I guess it is like having a birthday -- you don't feel any different afterward and nothing has changed. Someone...

I've got my copy of "246 Solved Structural Engineering Problems" that I'd like to sell. It's the 3rd edition. I've got some post-it flags marking the topics, but there are no marks in the book. Topics are: Analysis Concrete Steel Seismic Foundations Timber Masonry Amazon shows new to be $74...

OK -- s over lunch yesterday i'm enjoying my Arby's sandwich when this girl walks in with a t-shirt reading "Designated Hottie". The problem was that it was a size 3X. This has to be false advertising. Which ever candidate proposes a law against this will get my vote. Anyone else come up with...

Alright -- now I'm confused. We had a seminar about the what's changed between IBC 2003 and 2005 today and one of the topics that was covered was Simplified Wind. My confusion arises from Figure 6-2 in ASCE 7-02. I have always used method 2 and applied the 'a' distance on each corner of the...
