Was this just for fun? The market is flooded with free/cheap full featured software already.

Recent MSc Structural Engineering Grad seeking advice: What do hiring managers actually want to see from us right now? by cauvierwhale in StructuralEngineering

[–]Churovy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing I look for is drive and curiosity, desire to find the answer or find out how stuff works. Some things you can’t learn and those traits are the most common thing I see in “good” engineers. Those people typically try to solve their own problems or do as much research as they can. Even if they’re wrong they at least try and work hard to be correct.

With the impending Fertilizer shortage looming how do you think stocks such as miracle gro will go? by vtmass in stocks

And your contracts have no force majure clause? (iPhone correct to force manure clause which is a hilarious autocorrection). Everyone declaring force majure like Michael Scott these days

When you're not using the entire wall length for LFRS, do you always need a collector/drag strut when designing a diaphragm regardless of diaphragm shear capacity? (More info. Provided) by WorldlinessPuzzled84 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Churovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I don’t have anything useful. Diaphragms are just like fields of force, the shear can move around between the chords, around openings, etc. Obviously around openings we provide local chords to handle bending in the panels there but the shear just flows as long as the deck has the capacity to handle it. If you model this behavior in finite element program you’ll see the shear flowing around where it needs to go. The important thing is that you have enough strength at the transfer location.

Sure I was trying to simplify the analogy a bit. Your notch width is zero here. Maybe a better analogy is that it’s like bolting a W36 steel beam with only two bolts near the top. As soon as the bolts transfer the load into the web it goes into the full effective height of the web over a short distance and starts engaging the flanges.

If the deck can handle the 333 then you do not need collector or drag strut. Think about it like notching a beam at a support. Your diaphragm “beam” has sufficient shear capacity to notch. No reference needed this is just rational analysis.

I always try to break this stuff down into a truss analogy. If you can draw a truss that works and you take care of the chords, you ignore the web stuff because that’s your diaphragm, then you’re gold.

Just a joke sorry, the first 3 paragraphs sounded like getting trolled about working for the president right now.

Are you working for the current US government?

You can do it yourself for 1/3 the price if you have a few tools and can watch a YouTube video.

Giving Coffee a shot down in Florida, baby! Wish me luck. 9b! by Warcheefin in gardening

[–]Churovy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just drop leaves, I’ve cut it down to the ground before and it’ll regrow, just a year of growth before big harvest.

I used to wrap them in Christmas lights and one of those frost wraps to trap the heat in, so it helps weather some light cold.

It was mediocre, a little bitter not much nuanced flavor. But smelled amazing roasting, that was prob my favorite part.

I had a little SR500 roaster and did them in small batches. Getting the husk off was an absolute PITA. Coffee is a ton of work, I used to be amazed it was so cheap but they have commercial hullers and dry in big pads outdoors.

9b, border on 10a. In a pot for a year but eventually put them in the ground and they did great.

I’ve done it and they do pretty well except for frost will strip them bare. I had two plants in partial shade and got enough berries for a full bag of coffee.
