Man, you're a lifesaver. Thank you. It's really hard to come across resources for engineers on RUclips. There are some sources alright but mostly from countries like India and for their own audience. Thanks again.
No worries. Thanks for the support. There are a lot of entertaining engineering channels out there as well, but I try to keep the videos more educational. Hope people learn something :)
Hey bro, greetings from Portugal. Just like you, im an brazilian civil engineer. Studying structures i found you channel that brings me a general overview of structural projects out of our country. Thx for the video!!
Planning on studying construction management next year and this video was super helpful to help me get a preliminary understanding of how to read plans. Cheers.
Bro, thank you so much for providing such informative videos regarding civil engineering and you are active person and i really appreciate for your effort
Thank you for the information. Is there any place for downloading a complete map of the ordinary house in Australia or any book you recommend that contains all the drawing for one project.
Gabriel primeiramente parabens pelos seus videos, sou carpinteiro em Perth, e seus videos me ajudam muito. No instante 6:42 do seu video fiquei confuso em relacao ao Brick Venner, a parede de tijolo fica do lado de dentro ou do lado de fora ? vc falou 'brick' e apontou para a parede de dentro. Acredito que a parede de tijolo seja a parede de fora. Nao sei ler muito os planos, mas aquele desenho com a parede com listras na diagonal do lado de fora representa a parede de madeira ou de tijolo? muito obrigado, abracos.
Hello thanks for the video! Just wondering why we don’t need to specify lintels for openings on internal walls? And also should bracing be needed on all external walls? I have seen some plans where they specify bracing on certain walls but not all external walls. Thank you!
Hi Marvin, You should specify lintels for internal walls if they are load bearing. The amount of bracing depends on the wind loads and area of elevation. Ideally, you should start placing them at corners on external walls, but it's not always possible due to the architecture. Have a look at one of my Cabin design videos to understand better.
where can I get the information of certain terms in detail which are not very common, such as noggings, studs, timber truss and steel beam connections?
Typically what depth below grade do you place these waffle slab foundations over in Australia? Is this common over there? Also seems very costly to build this type of foundation.
In many cases you can place them at ground level. This is what makes them cheap, it doesn't require much excavation. The beams are usually 400, but it varies with the soil reactivity.
Thanks very informative content. I know could be out of your scope of work, is there any chance that you can read and interpret Australian working drawings?
Thank you so much for an educative video. I've learnt so much. I'm from Ghana in Africa. It's very enlightening. Is there a chance I could get the drawings used in this video to study them further.
Could you please clarify how different of 70x35 MGP10 that supplies on common studs, noggings between 35x70 MGP10 that supplies on top and bottom plate on the last sheet(Framing schedule). Thank you for your video. This is such a great video. Please keep it up content.😊

I also wanted to ask,could you also do one where you design a footing from scratch ? Like a pad footing or something or just the procedure for it,thanks I can't wait for more videos🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️
Thanks for your reply, Sir, I just wonder, this style is in Australia house,light walls, pat foundation, strip foundation, Edge foundation, So, I saw details, they put the edge of ground slab on foundation. When design foundation, do you include weight of ground slab and light wall on foundation ? Thanks sir.
Hi guys, my question is how are waffle/raft slabs designed when supported on concrete piers? Does the pier take the total weight of the slab and imposed load? If so do you need to found them into high kpa soil or can you rely on the slab in bearing as well and not only on the piers. Thanks in advance
Hi James, I usually design the beams to span between piers or screw piles. You would use piers if you cannot achieve adequate bearing capacity at shallow depths, therefore the piers/piles will have to go as deep as you need to reach the required kPa. You could argue that the beams are still bearing on some soil and use that to reduce the loads, however most of the times I don't rely on that. You also don't know where the soft spots are and by designing the beam to span between piers you would cover this problem. Hope that clarifies
thank you great job can you please make video about steel beam position and dimension working from both architect drawing and engineering drawing, please if you can help that will be great
Sir would you mind please to send me the PDF of the general notes that you have provided please, am an immigrant Italy through the Mediterranean sea, besides am try to specialise in this area please I need help, thanks wish to hear from you soon.
Hi I'm sorry for asking this but can you give one sample of structural drawings to me. I need it for my college work. I tried finding it everywhere and couldn't get one. I know this sounds crazy but I am so desperate that I would be asking you this.

Awesome. Glad it was helpful. Good luck in your studies.
great video buddy ... i just started carpentry so learning plans is a big deal ... very much appreciate the effort you put in bud thanks
No worries Jeremy. Cheers for watching and good luck in your carpentry journey.
Really handy stuff!! I can even learn more from your video compare to the tutorial in uni. tHANK YOU
This is an excellent video! Well Done!!😀
You are awesome I am 7 years old granny sleeping 8 using d tab love it
Thanks!
This is awesome. My first "Super Thanks" :) Thank you very much Jason. Appreciate you.
Learning a lot from you sir thanks keep it up

very Helpful & clear explanation
Thanks my friend :)
Hey mate I work doing concrete house slabs and checking this out to better my plan reading. I think plans could be simplified.
That's awesome. Yeah I agree, the simpler the better. What do you think it could be simplified?
Great Video ,Mahn please keep it up,awesome content 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Titus. :)
That is great. I really appreciated it.
Your videos are incredible. Thank you.
Thanks Jessie :)

fala Rafael. brick fica na parte de fora nesse caso. Tem construcao com o brick pra dentro, mas nao e tao comum.
Very nice explanation.
Need more video on these with site photographs.
Amazing excellent video! Thank you! Could I know which software to generate the drawing of floor framing plan?
good old Autocad
Great work Engineer
This is such an excellent video!
Thanks Aphex :)
Such a great video.
thanks :)
Hi mate, can you please show us a detail for reinforcing the tall brick columns in front of the house?
This specific one had steel columns inside, so the bricks were not supporting the structure.

How to provide different types of chairs?
where can I get the information of certain terms in detail which are not very common, such as noggings, studs, timber truss and steel beam connections?
I can find them in the Standards AS1684 and AS1720
Hi mate could you explain how wind beams work against wind force?
Sure can. I have something for wind beams on my list

Hi, can you also make a video on how to read and estimate reinforcement details on a suspended slab?
Great idea. Will do. Thanks

Hi, how much LL and DL do you design for house ?
LL roof = 0.25kPa

Could you please zoom and make the writings clearer. Besides that nice, and it's of great help
Editing was a bit poor on this one, sorry. Thanks for the feedback.
where is specified what stud size is used in this project where? where?
there is a framing schedule with load bearing and non-load bearing wall framing sizes
Você fala português? Eu queria saber se você me daria umas aulas particulares ou se você tem algum curso, porém, preciso ler schedule de prédios

Sorry I can't :( that's a coryright drawing
Please I want to know more, am a little bit confused
Thank you
Thank you

Will do. Thanks :)
Can you give this drawing file as pdf for us to understand more.
I cant sorry. It's company copyright
Nice one
Thanks :)
Pls can you do a video to educate young engineers on how to design a structure

what do you need?
I wish God could help me to reach your country I would become a perfect engineer out of your knowledge. Thanks
Good video. Cringe thumbnail.

Great Video. 🙂
