    External anchorage of reinforcement - is this feasible?

    Why don't you just double up the top reinforcement in that zone. Half the bars have a cog to achieve development in the temporary case. Half the bars have a coupler attached so they can be joined to the reinforcment in the later pour.

    Integrity Steel Interpretation

    The Australian Code has similar provisions and I have always taken it this way - counting the 2 shear planes for each bar.

    Multi-storey steel column bracing

    That is probably how I would frame it out.

    750 AUD per year for Engineer Australia membership. Is it a joke?

    I think the magazine is only every three months now.

    Theoretical Question - Planar Truss Problem

    You are correct comhedoisl, symmetry does matter.

    Site Measuring Joists - Web Thickness

    You can get ones that are significantly cheaper than $1500. I have seen some for under $200. Check out Amazon.

    Site Measuring Joists - Web Thickness

    You can get ultrasonic thickness testers. My company has one and it works reasonably well. https://www.starrett.com/products/precision-measuring-tools/thickness-testers-and-accessories/thickness-testers

    Should there be a dip in my N-M diagram or not - Eurocode - concrete columns

    I read some of your other topic but not in great detail. Is this correct? To me, the definition of "pure compression" is when the column is loaded through its centroid (i.e. zero moment).

    Tension Pile Detailing

    I agree with EZB. Make the cap deep enough that the bars do not need to be hooked at all - if possible.

    Fire Rating of Concrete Walls AS3600.2018

    I agree with Just Some Nerd that that particular clause in the code is meant to apply to industrial warehouse type buildings with tilt-up precast walls.

    Plate washers for oversize/slotted holes

    Have you considered using OrbiPlate? https://reid.com.au/product/orbiplate

    HAZ for welding headed stud to plate

    Why is that? I have been told by a competent welder that galvanizing doesn't need to be removed, similar to what Lex said above. What is different about stud gun welding?

    Crane Anchoring to Building

    I think you will need to consider 8 load cases. The 375kN force acting up, down, left, and right. The torsion acting clockwise and counter-clockwise.
