Hi Deepak, yes W/C or water usage is something forgotten about. Typically W/C is controlled but the concrete mix and the amount of allowable shrinkage more water more shrinkage.
Hey Brendan, I have no idea if this is a good idea, but I would love for you to tackle a "mock" building design project. So maybe like a 2 or 3 floors concrete building design project, and walk us through step by step. If you have the time to do so, it would really help students like me a huge amount.
I'm currently a 2nd year student in civil enginneering, and often find it extremely difficult to remember all the steps to designing a building. I often find it extremely overwhelming with all the steps and requirements. I have done steel and concrete building design project before, but If I were to be asked on where to even begin, I would honestly go blank.
@@BrendanHasty do you remember your days in Uni? when did you start gettin involved in the industry? What year did you start applyin for internship and things like that? Personally, I have been adviced by my professor and couple of people that 3rd to 4th year students are the best. Just wondering how you got started, and what advice you would give to student tryna get an internship with no prior industry experience? Do industry understand that your still a student and are here to learn, or do they expect the most?
Hi Bin there are more updated studies orbi.uliege.be/bitstream/2268/200184/1/Report%20on%20the%20performance%20of%20Portland%20limestone%20cements%20in%20concrete_20160401.pdf I am sure there are many more . Hope your studies go well
what do you think about future of the concrete? world keeps talking about sustainability more each day. do you thing this trend will lead reducing the amount of concrete structure and there will be more steel and wood structures in the short and long term ? thank you for informative videos. Greetings from Turkey
Hi Kaan, thanks for the support. Concrete is here to stay, there appears to be a parth to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. Not ready yet but it is coming along. As for steel this will move into more and more recycled ♻️ material it requires research into processing the metal and using energy from renewable sources. Timber is amazing material and we will likely see more and more structures built from it.
Production quality on this one is WAY up from your earlier videos - well done. Also very informative. The only thing I would say is that your voice sounded odd. Having watched quite a few I know how it should sound and either the microphone picks up the s/t sounds more than it should or maybe you clipped/compressed it during the edit or something? It sounded like you have a bad lisp which I not something I had noticed before / I think it's new / I think it's not a lisp. Otherwise, good stuff. :-)
Hi fredio, I think I clipped the audio, I agree it sounded odd when I edited it, unsure if it was something I did in post or the recording. Thank for the comments for improvement they help alot.
This is what they ask you at the PE interview in South Africa, what are your environmentally friendly ideas etc. It's tough, some ideas are great but costs are higher, others are well priced but lower quality, from what I see an engineer needs to find the balance and use the ratio at it's max, cause if you don't have that idea in the back of your head, they will not make you a professional engineer here. Was weird, they ask non engineering related questions, like how you will help the community, it's an aspect of your long term plan, but has no affect on your capabilities as an engineer, and if you say nothing, you will be denied PE, this country has fallen so far.
Hi Heinrich, guess it is something that you need to plan for. I wonder how much it changes the way you engineer, guessing not much. We alot of the time to change how a building it constructed. If it is cheaper the we can help typically when more expensive it will not be chosen.
The water cement ratio actually plays an important factor too. Keep it up Brendan, good job.

Your videos are very helpful for structural engineering students. I have learnt many things from ur channel. Keep posting these kind of videos.
Thanks
Hi Kamini, glad that you found them helpful. I plan to keep post, and hopefully my future content is as good.

Hi Pekin thanks for the suggestion I am planning on doing this when I get some free time. It is in planning at the moment.

Sir what u think about automation in field of structural engineering?plz reply 😀
Hi Fahad, Automation is the future and becoming more common.
Pardon sir, would you like to attach or share link about the research you mention on this video (Matschei, 2008) so that i can read fully, Thank you

Greetings Froom colombia south america. Great channel, i Need job. In structural design
Hi thanks for the support. I don't make hiring decisions but hope you find a job soon.
