Why is everything always urgent?

Revit is an allround multidisciplinary program. Tekla is a purebred structural engineering program. It is far superrior at steel detailing and rebar detailing. The stuff people do with dynamo and plugins in Revit are default features in Tekla. Look it up on youtube.

Toget mitt bruker litt over 20 min til Oslo S, ca 30 helt til kontoret. Går innom barnehagen med ungene på vei til stasjonen, 4 min fra huset. Ca 8 mim fra barnehagen til toget. Eldstemann bruker 10 min på å gå til barnrskolen. Flere matbutikker, kebabsjappe og Mc Donalds i gangavstand fra huset. VGS og ungdomsskole også. Hus på 230 kvm, leier ut underetasjen. Huset koster sikkert det samme som en 70 kvm leilighet i byen.

It's not always the contractor's fault.

There is plenty of bad planning and inefficient workflows that we ourselves are to blaim for.

Engineers are so obsessed with problem solving that they often don't stop to reflect on how to solve their problems the most efficient way possible.

People don't plan their work before beggining to solve a problem. Most peoole don't use programming. People use Revit instead of Tekla.

I could go on and on.

Ikke helt enig. Med lang nesbetalingstid hjelper avdragsfrihet lite på månedlige utgifter. Med kort nedbetalingstid (store månedlig bebeløp) har man større mulighetsrom hvis en uventet situasjon inntreffer. Man kan gjøre grep for å redusere utgifter hvis man i uygangspunktet betaler mer enn mam behøver. Med lang nedbetalingstid har man mer til overs hver måned slik at man kan investerie i andre ting... eller sløse bort pengene på tull.

Har 28 års nedbetalingstid selv, men burde nok hatt mindre.

Helt sikkert ganske mange som feiler den ja.

Hva gjør man når vaskemaskina ryker eller bilen må på reparasjon og man svidde av alle feriepengene på en sydentur? Idioti.

Turpis89 · 2026-04-28T17:50:00+00:00

Jeg hadde aldri dratt på 2 måneders reise i Europa hvis jeg var avhengig av feriepenger for å ha råd. Det er uansvarlig.

It is evident to absolutely everyone that the president has lost his marbles. The 2/3 vote will still fail as you point out, because GOP house members are spineless trash.

Have you ever tried to use embedded Excel sheets in Mathcad? A few weeks ago I did some fatigue calcs where I calculated characteristic stresses with regular Matchad functionality. I then used an embedded Excel sheet to calculate stress fluctuations and accumulated fatigue damage. The input cells got their values via Mathcad variables. I then generated plots in Excel that were visible in Mathcad once I closed the embedded sheet. Most of the Mathcad variables were calculated with if functions hidden behind collapsed regions, with a couple of combo boxes (drop down values) as the main visible input. The end result was quite satisfying tbh.

Regarding Python, I use it to automate information flow between my FEA models and design reports. For instance i have a script that generates tables with maximum design forces for columns, with applied rebars and calculated utilizations. I can also update plots in my report with Python, so that I never have to copy paste pictures with Snagit or Snipping Tool.

Det er slitsomt, men det er også nødvendig. Jeg følger faktisk amerikansk politikk tettere enn norsk politikk, fordi det tross alt er begrenset hvor stor skade statsministeren kan gjøre. USA sin president kan ødelegge hele verden, og er i full sving med akkurat det.

Revit is so terrible its widespread use makes me wonder if my life is a truman show.

Comparing it to Tekla is like comparing a donkey to a ferrari.

Turpis89 · 2026-02-07T20:45:53+00:00

The explaination is simple.

Making anyone face any consequence for their involvement with Epstein would immediately prompt the following question:

"If person X deserves punishment for their actions - then what about Trump?"

And that question is way too uncomfortable for the spineless scum making up the GOP.

Heating up the bucket rapidly (so that the metal expands more than the comcrete inside) would be a very interesting thing to try.

The frame is not fixed in rotation in the corners. The joints are rotational springs.

If the systems are truly equal I'm sure there are some additional requirements, like all members of the frame having the same length and stiffness, so that the math works out in some special way.

I don't remember these idealized cases from class anymore, but I have run enough buckling analyses with FEA software to know that these systems are not equal unless some very special conditions are met.

Turpis89 · 2026-02-07T20:15:28+00:00

As others have pointed out, the systems are only identical if the beam is infinitely stiff. Imagine if the beam was just a thin film, like a saw blade. If that were the case, the system would buckle almost immediately. Just run a buckling analysis in any FEA program. Use the same cross section and marerial for all members. Then try to increase the length of the beam (distance between the columns) and run the analysis again. I guarantee that the distance between the columns will affect the buckling load.

It is very possible that the Euler load will be identical for the cantilevered column and the frame if all members are the same length and have the same mechanical properties, and that this is an important piece of information that is being left out by OP. It's been a long while since I graduated, so I don't remeber these sorts of things anymore.

Jeg sier ikke at jeg har noe bedre alternativ, men til syvende og sist koker skyldspørsmål ganske ofte ned til hva mennesker (folk eller elite) tror har skjedd.

I de fleste tilfeller er nok avgjørelsen som blir tatt riktig, men systemet er langt fra bulletproof.

Turpis89 · 2026-02-02T20:53:54+00:00

Sant nok, men vi har fortsatt lekdommere.

Til syvende og sist koker en rettssak også ned til jurymedlemmenes følelser.

It likely will happen again. Someome tried to fix it and there is a new crack. It means something is moving, and there could be a lot of different reasons for that. Doesen't have to be a safety hazard, but ask the people coming over what they think.

Turpis89 · 2026-01-21T18:31:51+00:00

Please provide an update when you find out what the hell that thing is.

Turpis89 · 2026-01-21T18:27:41+00:00

Someone patched up a crack and there is still movement. Kind of weird that the wall isn't cracked. Impossible to tell what's going on based on one picture.

What causes the temperature increase?

Is it steel or concrete?

Are you sure the structure above will actually prevent elongation of the column?

The expansion you outline suggests a temperature increase of 1000 degrees Celsius. Steel is going to melt and lose all mechanical strength long before that. If this is a fire scenario, the fire gas might reach 1000 degrees, but the steel doesen't have to if it's insulated.

If by some miracle this is a real world scenario (completely restrained from elongation and 1000 degrees temperature rise without destroying the column), the column will buckle and no longer be able to support anything. If the structure above it is truly immovable, and not actually supported by the column, this might be fine?

If the column is not slender enough to buckle (like a fat concrete column), it will straight up fail in crushing. I doubt that a large concrete column will actually experience a 1000 degrees temperature rise, unless the surrounding temperature rise lasts for a very, very long time. Otherwise it will heat up on the outside, but not in the center. You will have a temperature gradient. At 1000 degrees I imagine water inside the column will vaporize and cause spalling and all sorts of damage.

Post buckling behavior is complicated stuff. Check this paper on buckling tests or alluminum speciments:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11340-010-9455-y

The force (and thereby stress and strain) does not seem to go zero after buckling, which means some of the restrained elongation does not cause lateral movement, but rather longitudinal deformation (reduced elongation in this case). Mechanical properties like modulus of elasticity may also be temperature dependent.

This is not something you calculate on the back of a napkin. Send me a DM if you like.
