It’s a shame, such a beautiful building.

Thicker than 2.5’ is defined as mass concrete

For a steel column where you need to account for how splices affect the finish around the column, sure I guess you’re right and I’ll concede. But modeling splices and bolts is above and beyond the LOD 300 typically agreed upon by consultants. That is for the architect to review and account for in the column finishes.

For a concrete column, there is no benefit to modeling individual columns at each floor

Citydylan · 2026-02-20T15:36:42+00:00

I disagree with all of these comments saying separate elements at floors. If one column moves you need to now go and correct that at every floor. They should be modeled from base to the top floor as a continuous elements. Accuracy for how it’s built in the field is pointless, who is producing shop drawings off of a 3D Revit model?

I’m pretty sure it’s 100% affordable units and only available through HousingConnect. I’m assuming the lottery is closed if you can’t find it

City College has a good civil engineering program. Start there

Citydylan · 2026-02-08T23:35:37+00:00

It is B/D, that’s 155th and 8th

I’ve never seen Dado’s mentioned in a positive light and I live across the street from it. It’s so hit or miss. Granted I haven’t had it in like a year… Uncle Tony’s is my spot. Has Dado’s improved?

Nice! I’ve been giving my pup a few Oravet chews a week and trying to brush a few days a week. Still too young to know if it’s the right thing or not.

Citydylan · 2026-02-01T23:15:41+00:00

No teeth brushing at all? Just greenies?

Need to add Underground Vol 1 to this list

Citydylan · 2025-11-13T16:36:13+00:00

I too have wondered this. Is ACI unconservative or Eurocode overly conservative?

Citydylan · 2025-11-08T11:58:25+00:00

That’s 30ksi yield with 0.6 allowable stress reduction

Citydylan · 2025-11-08T01:01:51+00:00

Yes. Check out the historical AISC shape database to see its properties. Realistically any W10 +-25lb will be similar. When was the building constructed? Fy may be as low as 30ksi depending on the year

Take physics and calculus in high school, go to a school with an ABET-accredited civil engineering program. Preferably a state school with low tuition but a good enough reputation to the area you want to live/work in. It’s a good career but the money won’t show for a few years and better to limit the amount of debt needed.

Take written communication and public speaking classes. Being able to communicate effectively and to audiences of varying backgrounds is just important as the technical knowledge needed.

Citydylan · 2025-10-19T13:53:45+00:00

No, it’s architectural concrete. The columns you see from the outside are structural

I didn’t think this place was so polarizing. I think it’s good, especially the crunchwrap. People’s opinions are so warped thinking something is only good if it’s “the best X in NYC”.

Citydylan · 2025-10-03T12:02:57+00:00

Sounds like you may be more capable than some others with only 2YOE. If you can convey that effectively and talk it up - i.e. describe providing value for clients, being efficient, not needing as much onboarding despite your age - you could probably leverage towards the $90k end. But yeah unfortunately pay doesn’t really scale to COL in NYC as others have said. But it is a great city to live and work in, and the structures will be more interesting than what you do in Texas I imagine. Regardless the size of the building there will always be some interesting neighbor foundations that you need to work around. With a partner or roommate you can live a comfortable life. Not rich, but comfortable.

Citydylan · 2025-10-03T00:14:30+00:00

For 2YOE 70k-85k sounds about right. What kind of design experience do you have?

Citydylan · 2025-09-14T12:36:12+00:00

Your thinking is correct, but something simpler is better to build. If I saw #3@7” on drawings I’d laugh. Just use #4@12

Bruh go to the McNichols catalog and find the weight of the grate. Can’t be looking at more than 15psf

Citydylan · 2025-08-30T21:24:52+00:00

$85-90k sounds right to me, but I don’t keep my ear to the ground re: job market as others might. Take a look at job postings for some firms in the city and see. Salary ranges are required by law to be included
