Structural Library FAQ Survey

Structural Library FAQ Survey

Structural Library FAQ Survey

(OP)
I am thinking about compiling a FAQ for structural reference library. I keep coming back to searching for recommendations on texts and end up scrolling thru multiple old posts. My thought was to compile the list into the following categories:

Analysis/Mechanics
Dynamics/Seismic
Steel
Concrete
Masonry
Wood
Foundations
Light Guage Steel
Aluminum
Miscellaneous

Based upon past threads and any recommendations you all might have right now, I will "rank" texts in those categories simply based upon the number of recommendations. It appears people can send the FAQ author a comment, so I could update the FAQ with recommended texts as it gets used.

Does anyone know if the FAQ is indeed editable after creating it? Any other thoughts or suggestions??

RE: Structural Library FAQ Survey

Well ... sure it must be feasible, it is more a matter of programming, or the FAQ tool you are using. A software matter. Normally one would create a database of infobits, giving managed access and filtered view.

Actually I meant a FAQ here on Eng-Tips, but wasn't sure if the FAQ here is editable later on.

RE: Structural Library FAQ Survey

PMR06...when you create an FAQ in Eng-Tips, you "own" it. You can edit the FAQ later if you want.
