This is by far the most valuable video out there. You just don't learn these things in university as I've learned these things through dealing with contractors or from a superior. Thanks for sharing your valuable experience with us!
Great work sir. I can see you are an experienced professional with a lot of knowledge and background. I am a 3 years in to the field working after graduating and personally I am very interested in the philosophy you are using when doing your design and calculations. The thought process behind your craft. I would be very happy if you show us a design example worked out. We need to share our methods and assumptions, so we grow as a stronger and better community.
Hello Brendan, I commend your effort and zeal in making these vidoes. It is obvious that you are proficient in your job, and you have the passion to pass it on to budding engineers. Nevertheless, I'd suggest having an explanation of each concept (in this case connections) as voice-overs while giving more time to the structural drawings and details. In this case, more time should have been given to the connections than their explanation. This will aid young engineers who lack site experience to visualize the structure more.
Phenomenal. I have already been very much confused with the connections of steel design. It would be great if you can provide a few work out examples for better understanding.
Very informative video. I'm expecting more about rcc,steel and composite structures design philosophy and how you design. Thanks. Appreciate your efforts sir.
love your videos, its interesting to see some of the slight differences in connections we use. For the beam or column splice we just do bolted on both members (no shop welding of plates). And bolted moment connections are extremely popular in our steel building design but as another commenter mentioned, as the buildings get larger, the connection design is done by a PE at the company of the steel fabricator and we as EOR just review their design and approve their design during the shop drawing phase. But I do miss designing the connections, it was fun!
@@BrendanHasty It is, but placing columns and beams that work within an architectural layout is a puzzle and skill in and of itself, a lot of fun as well!
I'm a student in Bach Khoa Ho Chi Minh City, I've one course about it, and I fell, it so hard, as the result. When I see your explanation, it's easy than I learned V:
Thank you. I would like to know how a fixed connection can be achieved to when mullion is connected to concrete slab. Kindly request to make some video on the types of facade connections .
Please do , capping beam , piles and the Shotcrete wall and how they work together structurally speaking and what will happen if piles are out of tolerance.
Hello Brendan, I'm a steel structure student beginner , i want u to help me to give some tips or links on youtube that could help me to understand more basics such as loading , designing of tension and compression members,etc And also more links that would help me on the future when i become more capable of getting more info after I'm done with beginners stage ... I'm so excited for this really !!
Hi Bahaa, Look into books, if in austalia the Steel designer hand book it great, it should be linked in the discription. Any specific structures you are interested in or just steel design in general?
@@BrendanHasty just basics for now ... I'm from egypt idk what shall i do to learn basics in an easy way , I'm interested in youtube learning channels but i can not find any channel that helps me to learn basics till now
Can I ask, when you say the connections are considered pinned because they transfer no moment, isn't the moment reacted against by the bolts force couple and arrangement? Is this assumption just a simplification?
Hi Brendan, with so many Structural Analysis software's to choose from. What particular one could you recommend as the best and why? Also, great videos and thanks for the extra added info in your videos 💯
right now i am in my senior year of the bachelor degree in turkey. i would like to consantrate on structural engineering, especially steel structures. Do you advise me to take my MS degree on structural engineering first and then get into my career? is it important and necessary? or should i just get into work and have experience after bachelor degree? Thank you for sharing this type of informative videos 🙏
Hi Brendan, youtube recommended me your video and here i am watching all. I am a civil engineer and have worked in the construction of Hydroelectric projects in the Himalayan nation of Bhutan for about 7 years. I always had it at the back of my mind to learn and become a structural engineer some day but I could not when back home as it wasn’t a design company I was working with. Now that I am in Perth for the last year and a half for my spouse’s studies. M looking into getting a first hand experience working with design firms and learn the art of designing. How do you see the prospect for a person like me, is it a good go to transition at this juncture of my life. Any place I could get some reliable and adequate resources that are applicable for structural engineers in Australia. M hopeful to hear back from you. Thanks.
Hi Kiran, Engineers Australia has some additional assessments that would help, also getting your IstructE chartership would help. You just need to get your foot in the door; starting at a small firm may be easier.
Is it possible to have zero weld steel structural connections? for example, for joining two UBs at right angles, could you bolt to both beams with a bracket in between? I remember reading about weldless cleat bolting systems somewhere. Is there also a way to splice beams together without having the weld on one side at the top and the other side at the bottom as your diagram has. I am amazing at how much welding is required even for small steel structures given the added cost and delays it may bring, whereas a structure primarily built with bolts would likely be easier to erect don't you think? anyway, interested to hear your thoughts if you have the time.
Hi Benjamin, you can make the connections without welding, however it doesn't save any time. As the welding will occur in the factory prior to coming to site. They would also be some secondary actions to be careful of with a connection that I'd fully bolted.
Great info on connections.Please, slow down a little 😅, It's the accent which is just hard to get what you are saying and visualising at that speed.... Otherwise you are perfect.... Cheers Mate 🥂....
Hi Sigurd, this would really about protecting the steel work. Bolts may be stainless steel, it may also need a maintenance regime. Thanks for watching and the support.
Hello Brendan, amazing video as usual I'd like to ask if there are some books about steel connections you'd recommend to learn more about the subject Thanks in advance, Tonio
Hi Lei, Revit is good to model in 3D, however, the model can get very heavy slowing down the computer. You just need to get carefully manage LOI shown.
Hi Kimmy I always found structural dynamics interesting, either for slabs or building behaviour(lateral). Shaping building to reduce wind load would also be interesting. But my best recommendation is pick something you find interesting and a lecture you work well with.
Thanks Brandon, I also wanted to ask, is there any rules for the installation of bolts, example for the columns that have end plate splice should the bolts be on top and the nut at the bottom?
Seismic engineering design for steel structure means much more complex connections for elements, however, the detailer must be trained with sufficient seismic engineering knowledge and skills.

2-3 on a connection between columns that gived you around 6mm.
