    Hi David Thanks for the response. I plan to learn it on my own because I have an interest in it. Currently, I am studying for the PE exam in two months so my time is spent between work, sleeping, eating and studying. I want a book on it that I would like to purchased called "Tension...

    Fabric Structure, Air Supported Roofs, Light Structures

    I have heard it both ways rb1957 but do you have any recommendations? The resisant virtues of the structure that we seek depend on their form; it is through their form that they are stable, not because of an awkward accumulation of material. There is nothing more noble and elegant from an...

    SteelPE I responded to a position for a job on hiring board but you had to go thru a head hunter since the company looking for a employee is using that head hunter agency. The head hunter told me after he contacted me for the position, what the employer was looking for and asked if I had...

    Switching from Buildings to Bridges

    I have about 5 1/2 years in buildings. It has been a struggle between finding a descent job in that field. I have ethical issues at my place of employment and this is the second time it has happen to me. I think bridge may be different since it is reviewed under the DOT. Here, I am just...

    Switching from Buildings to Bridges

    I am thinking of maybe switching from building design to bridge design in terms of structural engineering. If I could get the opportunity to do so, should I expect a pay cut? Also, do you think the transition from buildings to bridges is difficult to do due to each being a specialize? Thanks...

    Earthquake Engineering

    JoshPlum I think I understand what you are talking about. The course I think will be more academic and not practical to be honest but I do not know. I have never taken this professor before but I guess, I could ask. I am sure it will go over response spectrum and such but ASCE-7 codes or...

    Earthquake Engineering

    Don't let my ignorance turn you off from the question. If you can point things out for me, educate me in knowing what I can do with my career. The resisant virtues of the structure that we seek depend on their form; it is through their form that they are stable, not because of an awkward...

    Besides designing support for buildings and bridges, what else can a structural engineer do? The resisant virtues of the structure that we seek depend on their form; it is through their form that they are stable, not because of an awkward accumulation of material. There is nothing more noble...
