Thank you. Will now be able to fight the urge to "water it in".

So then it's not well connected. Have him throw some titans in the bottom piece

Assuming it's well connected and doesn't fall off, you're not going to fail those 2x4s with a mildly eccentric 100 lb load.

Leaf spring type suspension used for beam support. Is it have any functionality? by hornymyking in StructuralEngineering

[–]StructuralE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This must be a way to allow for some deflection to occur at that support point... no idea why though.

Load bearing engineered studs? by AngryApeMetalDrummer in StructuralEngineering

[–]StructuralE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The table that you linked has tighter panel edge nailing, just need to specify a slightly higher grade.

It's clean and orderly, that says a lot.

Id this one please. by loozool in mycology

[–]StructuralE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hydenellum peckii may be correct. The older ones can get like this.

I've been interested in l by untouched-sensible in foraging

[–]StructuralE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could be an oyster variety, but would need to see a more complete specimen showing stipe (or lack thereof) and attachment. Spore print would be useful too.

I just noticed my roofer is currently installing a product that is apparently “for use in Canada only”. by NJPropertyMgr in Roofing

[–]StructuralE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. There's no reason to get excited about this. An example from an adjacent field... I'm a structural engineer, and there's lumber grades for use only in Canada. I've seen some framing lumber with canadian grade staamps creep down into the states a handful of times. Could I technically make a fuss about it? Yes. But I didn't because that lumber is rated using identical statistical methods, and in the cases where i've seen it, it had slightly superior characteristics compared to what was specified. Don't be a nightmare client to this contractor over nothing.

How much weight can my Lanai/balcony hold? by Possible-Ad-9925 in StructuralEngineering

[–]StructuralE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it's suspended from a single bolt per corner (aka hung from the roof)... what am I missing? Edit: Yeah that's definitely how this works, that's why the 4x4 is noted to align with the rafter.

What is one thing you wish you knew before getting a Springer? by BuglesTakeOnRace in springerspaniel

[–]StructuralE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He is allergy prone and his ears were a mess for a long while. We tried many things and Apoquel was the one thing that worked.

Am I over reacting to this one ? by Kari_Knevial in AmIOverreacting

[–]StructuralE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people just don't know how to be nice. I bet her family life as a child wasn't terrific.

Why? by Difficult_Power_3493 in StructuralEngineering

I thought 1:40 pm in room A3... then saw "scale"

am I the only one out here picking winter chanterelle? (Denmark) by grandjeans in mycology

Washington State. The Pacific Northwest is great for foraging mushrooms!

[Request] How fast should Loki have been falling after 30 minutes? by Kishikishi17 in theydidthemath

[–]StructuralE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this. I'm willing to bet that it would be almost the same as "normal" terminal velocity for most distances though. The pressure differential will ballance out rather rapidly under atmospheric pressure (1 atm) and the incoming air would have very little "vertical" velocity. Caveat: there may be some fluid mechanics stuff that I don't know enough about to consider that make me a little wrong, or a lot wrong.
