I love your channel. It’s rare to find someone talking about structural engineering in You Tube.
Thanks Leonardo, yeah, I felt the same way. I knew if I didn't do it, no one would. Grateful that it's helping others out!
Hey, Sir...why don't you start a course on RUclips...upload one video in a week but start Reinforced concrete design in-depth...I'll help us a lot.
I was looking for practical books for making Design tutorials . Thanks a lot for this video ! Really like your videos Sir !
I am a CA SE and CBO and I think you are doing a fantastic job with ur videos:) Keep up the great work! Aloha!
Great video . Simple,fast and in point . God bless you
Awesome Sir. Will forward to see your video on best colleges in the world for Structural Engineering.
Just what I needed!! .
Thank you so much Mat ❤️
You're welcome, glad I could help!
Thank you. I'm learning alot from your videos. Keep posting for more. I am a licensed civil engineer from the Philippines.
Awesome! Thanks ishmael, will do!
Reinforced Concrete Structures, by Robert Park and Thomas Paulay is a must read for reinforced concrete essentials imo. Great video! Greetings from Venezuela.
Love the videos! As an architect, it’s cool to see the other side of things
Thanks Austin! Did you have any video recommendations that could help architects out?
@@MatPicardal Hmm maybe if you went into detail how the collaboration effort occurs and how you coordinate work with the architect, emphasizing that relationship between the two and giving behind the scenes access
@@AustinFoxArchitect thanks for the suggestion! Putting it on the list.
A very nice content Mat. I really want to learn more about structural engineering. Structural actually it's a prerequisite for quality in construction.
Glad I could help! What type of videos would help you the most?
I watched this a bit late but once again really helpful book recommendations
Thanks sir. Lots of reference in this world.
Excellent! As usual ... 👍
It would be great if you tell about your steel design books as well.
Will do! Next video.
Mat, I picked up your recommendation of "Reinforced Concrete Mechanics and Design" from Amazon. AWESOME. I am not an engineer but an aspiring Structural drafter. THANKS
Very cool! Thanks Francisco!
Me too.. Did you buy the 7th edition or the 8th?
Hey Mat, thanks a lot!
It would be really valuable as well to know your Steel Structures Design reference books.
Coming up next!
whats your opinion on Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Buildings by Priesley and Paulay? Its a must have for me
Mat, what do you think of Mcgregor's or Wight's Reinforced Concrete book? I have found it to be much more useful than McCormac's because they go more in-depth on most of the subjects.
I definitely agree with your mention of Moehle's book.
Structural Concrete Theory & Design By M. Nadim Hassoun and Akthem Al-Manaseer is my choice for RC Desgin.
MacGregor & Wight is the best book for having a reference of concrete design. Moehle is the best to understand seismic detailing. Good video! Greetings from Peru!
Agreed!
3:00 Jack Moehle (Maylee). He was my RC Design and SE professor in Undergrad. Definitely propelled me to handle the industry.
Hey..mat sir i am fresh structure engineering graduate i found your video vary i formative.thanks for sharing such valuable materials with the concern peoples
Glad I can help!
Can you please recommend some books related to bridge design and load ratings ? And if possible for the building sector can you please make an episode related which chapters of code like asce and ibc are really necessary
It would be nice if you may emphasize various codes used for structural design such as ACI, ECP, .... also do you have to prepare your own excel sheets for each code or is there a way to facilitate the design process using any design code?
Hi Matt , thanks for sharing yo. Really helpful. I do have one doubt though...I be starting my work as a structural engineer and I was told that I be doing some steel structure work. Any advice on my first day and maybe some recommendations of books for steel ? Thanks Matt. =)
That will be the next book review video!
Great video, Is realy good know about wich books are more useful when you are at undergrad and in the industry
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot Mat. It would be valuable to know your books of seismic and IBC manual
Thanks for the suggestion, thinking of doing a seismic structural analysis resource book list.
Macgregor for code background and member behavior
Mccormac for introduce the concept
Nilson for other ideas
Seismic Design guides by NIST for system behavior and practical guidance
by the way nice video.
Thanks for your great suggestions Ancheta!
I'm really interested in that first book that you recommended (Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design, MacGregor & Wight) but I can't seem to find any SI version of it.
I think there is a version of that on Amazon, there might be a newer version that you might look for.
Hi Mat, should I buy the latest edition of Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design or is the 4th edition enough? I heard that there is new information in the latest edition (more practical examples?), but the paper and binding quality is bad, they don't have it in SI units either. Thank you!
i wanna ask you a few questions. do you like to use SAP 2000? have you ever used RAM advanse and what is your opinion about that?
Hello, I find your channel is very interesting and informative. Can you suggest any book which contains Design of Water Tanks using ACI 318 and ACI 350.
Thanks
Hy Mat thank you for your Channel. I would like make you a question does excist a book whose explain how to use prosap, Midas ect.?
Mat thank you! But I will recommend more professional books prepare by ACI and CRI for more actual design performance.
Thanks Hazim, what specific books do you recommend?
@@MatPicardal I will email you some of practical and pro references.
Congratulations, I could recommend another books whom are really good ones... For example: Fanella and the famous Park and Paulay.
Good Evening Sir Matt!do you any soft copies of the books you introduced in steel and wood?or a website where I can get free books?thank you and God Bless..thank for inspiring us with your videos
Hey Mat just finished first year of engineering have to chose a discipline and was interested in civil but I suck at hand drawing so can I study civil if I am really bad at drawing?Thanks a lot!
Ali Rahimi there are many CAD progs already u absolutely can
Yes, you can! A lot of my hand sketches are just that, sketches. We have programs like CAD, Revit, and Bluebeam to make your drawings look nice.
@@MatPicardal It would be awesome seeing you drawing some sketches, I think sketches help to comprehend the architecture or volume of construction.
I've all these books with me PLUS several other on my laptop...along with solution manuals... all on ACI codes...coz we have studied ACI in our university...we're using ACI code...not the other one...and for Steel, we're using AISC
Yes, I'm basing my books all on the U.S. codes (as I'm from the U.S.), so unfortunately, I don't have any books on the Euro/Indian, etc. codes.
@@MatPicardal American Codes are great. But I request you to start a course on Reinforced Concrete Design. Thanks. If you got some extra time then start Reinforced Concrete design course. Make small videos of 15-20min. Upload just 1 video per weak. Thanks again.
Hi, can you suggest the best book for Diaphragm design? I am a Structural EIT in Canada, primarily working in mid-rise building design. I want to improve my knowledge of Diaphragm chord and collector analysis. Thank you in advance
Hi I am a first year civil engineering major at UCLA what would you recommend I learn outside of school, like software and things such. Also should I look into getting a front desk job at a construction or engineering firm?
Get an internship in engineering and/or construction as your priority, even if you are just a first year. That's one of the best ways to land a position after you graduate. If you have trouble landing an internship, get involved with your engineering organizations and/or competitions. Show that you can hold and be successful in leadership positions to build up your resume.
Do a video tutorial for 3 storey residential building using staad sir..in ph context
Hi matt, can you give me some books recommendation for steel design? I'm still majoring civil engineering
Sure will, that's up and coming.
If i want to learn how to space the rebars needed to reinforce concrete are this books what i need?
That is a good collection, grettings fron Perú
Greetings, thank you for the comment Marlon!
Mat, do you have a recommendation for masonry design books if they didn't teach it in school?
Yup, the best one is actually free online by the masonry society, it's in this video: ruclips.net/video/XRv7jvVgVdk/видео.html
@@MatPicardal
Thank you!!
Hi, I'm new to your page I'm a structural student from Nigeria, are those books in softcopy format? And how to access them. Please it'll be kind of you to respond to my questions. Thank you.
hai mat, this is superb,
anyway, im working on my final project and by any chance if you have any reference for bridge structure evaluations or anything related to TEKLA
thank you for your response!
Can't help much on those subjects :( unfortunately. Not my expertise.
@@MatPicardal thank you mat!
Please sir, what textbook do you recommend for manual design of reinforced concrete structures
Sir please tell me about combined footing designing that why we draw shear force diagram and bending moment diagram
Best books.
I am using that books here in the Philippines.
Because we have the same design codes.
Thanks for sharing, wasn't sure what the design codes were over there!
Mat Picardal american codes
AISC, AISI, UBC, IBC, ACI, ASCE
Hi Mat! Have you tried to run a time history analysis using direct integration in etabs?
Thanks! Good luck on your exam!
I've ran one in OpenSees lol. Haven't gotten the chance to run one in my projects yet, I've just done dynamic analysis.
Do you have any books representing the Eurocodes that you can share?
Did seismic design reinforced textbook consist BS code?
Jack Moehle's book is goated
Sir these books are as per ACi code??
Must reply sir
Can I have those book as pdf???
Hey Mat, i am looking or a book on RC staircase design....any book you can recommend for me?...Thaks
Sorry, don't know one off the top of my head. Maybe you can simplify the stairs as a typical slab/beam design if the stairs aren't too complicated?
@@MatPicardal Sure thanks
Hey Mat! I just started grad school. Would love some motivation. thanks
That's awesome Beatrice! I really enjoyed the non-linear analysis and performance based seismic design classes. They are tough but it's being used more and more in the industry and that's how we as engineers are coming up with all these crazy landmark building designs throughout the world.
@@MatPicardal Thanks a lot! I hope I'll survive this 💪
I didn't plan to go to grad school, would I be limiting myself? What would I be missing out on?
Mostly missing out on seismic and non-linear performance based design. You could always learn through professional development courses, but it would take time obviously.
@@MatPicardal Thanks, for the info.
@@MatPicardal what is non- linear performance design
Hi Mat
the first book has a lot of mistakes !
first of all the value for the factor or v/s correction not right the Superscript shall be above the expositional not on the 1.2
the example 3-2 the area of the top of wall shall be 24 ft x 16 in not 24ft x 1.5 ft
and a lot of mistakes shall not be there
even these mistakes was found in the 7th and 8th edition
I emailed Dr James but no response from his side !
please confirm these mistakes maybe I am wrong
Thanks in advance
Sir please can you provide these books in pdf
thanks boss mat
Glad I could help!
Can you RC Darwin PDF?
PLEASE UPLOAD NAME OF UNDERGRADUATE TEXT BOOKS (AT LEASE 2) FOR EACH SUBJECTS ON CIVIL ENGINEERING. THANKS.Arun dey
Thanks Arun, I'm thinking of making a blog/website with all of these listed.
Can you tell us your view on BIM?
I think it's being used more and more for medium to large scale projects, but won't really be used for small projects though (small residences, tenant improvements). At least in my opinion.
Mat Picardal thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Keep making these videos. They really help with insight in the industry.
Professor Moehle's name pronunciation is like "mei lee" :P
sir share these books with us ..so that we can download it
Eurocode RCC books please
Somali by any chance ???
Economic Concrete Frame
Elements to Eurocode 2 and other books by the concrete centre are really good. You should try some of those. You can also try John Bungey, Ray Hulse Bill Mosley - Reinforced Concrete Design to Eurocode 2-Palgrave MacMillan. For EC8 i.e seismic design, Seismic Design of
Concrete Buildings to Eurocode 8 Michael N. Fardis, Eduardo C. Carvalho, Peter Fajfar, and Alain Pecker is really good, explains a lot of theories really well but it specifically explains the clauses in the code. Elghazouli,_Ahmed_Seismic_Design_of_Buildings_to_Eurocode_8,_Second_Edition will be the best book for you if you are starting to learn about seismic design.
Wish I could, but I'm just basing these off on the books I currently use in the office (U.S.).
Thanks Samuel!
any one know any book which goes on ribbed slaps !
Yeah no need to show ACI, it is horrible lol.
