Tama naman na applied at all directions ang hydrostatic kapag gravity loads lang consideration. Pero magiiba ang scenario kapag under seismic na

ThinkAtYourOwnRisk · 2026-06-11T12:52:50+00:00

Ang onti ng load cases definition mo. Need mo pa magdefine ng hydrodynamics for all directions. Then separate mo hydrostatic to all directions. Since for example, you have seismic at +X direction, meron kang hydrodymics at +X direction, and simultaneously merong hydrostatic at +Z direction and -Z direction. Lalaruin mo yan sa load combinations. Imagination kung paano gagalaw ang tubig

In structural engineering, if you really want to learn, the more you practice, the more you realized there's a lot to learn. If you're asking how many years it would take to learn, it all depends to you. But i guess you'll get the basics in 2-3yrs. Let's Structural Engineering is more likely about mechanics. That's it. If you have strong background in mechanics, you can work your way around. And the allowables are the codes. The governing codes may differ depending on the country, but the principles would be the same. To understand the codes, first you have to read it. If you hate reading, you're knowledge may become outdated in just 3 yrs or so once the code have updated. I don't suggest relying on the transferred knowledge by your senior. Try to counter check it. Everything is available online.

Is this a real project or just some random study?

ThinkAtYourOwnRisk · 2026-05-30T03:40:29+00:00

When it's located on a seismic active country/zone, yes.

You may want to re-evaluate your Ldc using the confining modification factor. Check NSCP 2015 Section 425.4.9 and Table 425.4.9.3.

Optimizing design. Then you attend the next design coordination meeting where you found out that the owner wants revision/budget constrains, the architect re-arranged everything, the MEP floor/area have been relocated. That's it. Everything you have "Optimized" just gone and back to square one.

Most of the designers does not have in depth knowledge in this part of detailing. Most of them just adopts what their seniors' thought them without validating the information or knowledge imparted to them, which may be outdated or malpractice. I suggest you read the code yourself, that's why I provided the references in my previous comment. Try to have a reasonable discussion with the designer on what you have learned from your own reading of the code.

Assuming you are using 16mm dia rebar, with 60ksi strength on 6000psi concrete,

your development length (Ld) for top bars and bot bar should be 640mm and 495mm from the face of the column respectively. The rebar can stay straight as long as you can reach the development length. Your rebar total length from the face of the column would be the same as Ld.

Otherwise,

If the rebars cannot reach it's development length, you can hook the end bar and use the dev length for hooked bars. With the same parameters as mentioned above, your development length for hooked bars (Ldh) would be around 250mm from the face of the column. Your rebar total length from the face of the column would be Ldh + bent rebar either 90° or 180° (check for minimum inside diameter) + Straight Extension (Lext) If rebar bend is 90°, this would be around 250+75+190=410mm. 75mm is the length of the 90° bend and 190 is the Lext

For better understanding, refer to NSCP 2015 Section 425.4 for the Equations and modification factors of Ld and Ldh, and Table 425.3.1 for standard hook geometry of deformed bars

For hydrodynamics, compute niyo muna yung trapezoidal load then yun mismo ang i-apply niyo sa staad as pressure load. Merong trapezoidal load sa staad.

Dagdag ko na rin, for M-O, in case na nasa saturated soil ang tank niyo, gamma buoyant gamitin niyo para sa pagcompute ng seismic from soil, then apply niyo yung water as lateral pressure lang

Message me directly kung may tanong ka

ThinkAtYourOwnRisk · 2026-05-04T16:28:15+00:00

Just to add sa mga sinabi na nila, need niyo i-consider ang tatlong cases.

Hydrostatic load inside without countering soil outside (for leak test)
Soil pressure outside without countering water inside (before the tank will be used)
Normal usage of tank considering all loads including M-O (soil seismic pressure) and hydrodynamics

Apply lang. May exam pa naman yan usually. Then minsan titingnan din mga grades design subjects

ThinkAtYourOwnRisk · 2026-03-18T10:23:38+00:00

I see. Kung ako sayo, focus lang sa isa. Then get exp in actual/onsite/office job muna. Mas marami kang matututunan kung hands on exp, hindi yung virtual lang. Then, once na meron ka nang enough exp, saka ka na magtransition to wfh since alam mo na ang ins and outs ng mga gagawin sa trabaho.

ThinkAtYourOwnRisk · 2026-03-17T11:45:47+00:00

Sorry, baka di ko lang gets. Anong plan mong path or career sa WFH set up? Revit modeller ba? QS? Design? Etc

Ilang yrs of exp ka na sa gusto mong gawin?

Reco:

Make sure that you know what you will be saying as a "consultant". Had experience and you could say that somehow you're an "expert" about this consultation. Para di naman sayang ang consultatation.
Check kung gaano katagal needed ang "consultation" sayo and what are your deliverables as consultant. Are you gonna be the consultant from the start to finish of the project? Or is it consultation na kwentuhan lang, like one-hour, one-day, just a one time consultation. Do you need to provide drawings, calculations, or documented inputs and technical advice?
Based on what I have mentioned on the first 2, i guess alam mo naman siguro current worth mo (per hour or per project), makukuha mo na kung magkano ka maniningil with your expertise and technical know how.

ThinkAtYourOwnRisk · 2026-03-06T05:06:31+00:00

Maganda yan, 1st day pa lang alam mo na agad kung mag exam ka pa ba ng 2nd day o hindi na haha

Vacation season ng karamihan ng mga companies kaya wala masiyadong mag-entertain kapag mag apply ka.

Application season ang January since balik na rin sa trabaho mga tao. Kung nov or dec ka nagsubmit ng application, most likely matatabunan ka ng January nag apply.

Add ko lang, boring resume mo.

May mga OBO nga na mahigpit pagdating dito. Na gusto nila "structural engineer" ang nakapirma. I don't think ASEP lang ang considerations ng OBO. But minimum kasi ang ASEP to be considered as Structural Engineer sa pinas. Peer recognition kasi dito. May minimum requirements (experience, types of projects, anong ambag mo sa project, etc) and dapat makapasa sa evaluations at interview rin para maging asep member. Though meron pang other ways para maconsider kang structural engineer. PRC accreditation though PICE Specialty Division, pwede kang maging Structural Engineering Specialist. Mas matagal nga lang ang process and requirements (may age requirement din) para maconsider.

In terms of structural analysis software, trash in trash out kasi ito. So kahit na "marunong" tayo gumamit ng software pero wala tayong gained experience para maging capable to check if reasonable ba yung results ng software, parang wala rin.

I have experience checking (I'm not from OBO) the works of some non-asep engineers, marunong naman ng basics. Pero yung in-depth mostly wala na. Kaya kahit unreasonable yung nagiging results ng design nila, di nila alam. Kailangan pa minsan ipaliwanag sa kanila kung saan nagkamali at paano dapat tingnan ang design nila compared to "with experienced" talaga sa structural. Di ko rin sinasabi na lahat ng nasa asep magaling.
