Ron, could you please give an example...this subject is very interesting and I'm willing to know more as well Thanks Ron

shall shoring of formwork be designed for seismic loads?

anyone knows if there's a clause in the ACI 318 that does not allow for splices in reinforcement in slender columns? thanks a lot

should i consider shear modulus for wood in design? or is it inexistent? Thanksa lot

Thanks everybody who took the time to reply to my question. I would appreciate if more people feel like replying to this thread because it's a very important subject for a young engineer. Also I'd like to ask if there's more mentorship in bigger companies? I feel that because a small company...

Hello, what would be the advantages and disadvantages of working for a small and for a big company? Thank you once more ngedm

Thank you very much Qshake. By the way, do you know of any simple to understand books that you think might help me? Thanks again ngedm

Hi again, I'm a young engineer, with a couple of years in design experience. I live in a zone 0 seismic area. I want to relocate to a zone 3 or 4 area. What do you guys think it is important to know about seismic design?

thanks Ron and Qshake, but I'm asking if I need to look at bar lengths or just count the number of bars and bar size in a beam for example? thanks a lot

How accurate (rigorous) should we be with site inspections of concrete structures? My question concerns, bar lengths, concrete cover, hairpin ties size, etc.

Is it true that HS sections don't buckle under compressive loads? and why does that happen? Thank you ngedm
