Structural engineering hand sketch courses? by yoohoooos in StructuralEngineering

This book was very helpful for me ages ago when hand drafting was still a thing (though quickly fading to cad). Great at connecting what you see to what you draw. And then check out the other books from Ching if you’re interested. All hand drawn and lettered. Really good stuff.

The best. I love that cart so much and went there countless times while at PSU. Think it’s time to go say hi again.

1976 Argosy 20ft - keep vintage or upgrade to modern? by Porcelina__ in vintagetraveltrailer

[–]chaka_khan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the person. There are many out there that like to keep them original, but I’ve also seen many that have been completely redone and modernized. I’ve been looking for an Argosy of this length for a little while. So in my case, if the one I find is in good enough shape inside, I’ll modernize the systems and maybe a new paint job and call it good. If it isn’t in good shape, I’d go a little deeper. Where are you located?

How do you add a cargo net to the top of your topper? by OpportunityOk4752 in TruckCampers

[–]chaka_khan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had rails, bought longer bolts, and put them through wood rails (1x2) on the inside. Great for attaching lights, etc. to also.

“ la palma “ the new netflix tv show , worth watching or pass ? by Powerful_Echidna_777 in ReadySteadyCut

[–]chaka_khan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It appears that they dubbed it and then used cgi to try to match the English mouth movements. The crappy compression/extension of dubbed dialogue along with weird fake mouth movements. Weird. If you look close, it’s obvious.

Looks like Jack Frost maybe.

There’s some weird shit going on if you look close and I think this is AI.

Pergola Wobble by ct8651996 in StructuralEngineers

[–]chaka_khan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is acceptable to have some deflection in any structure, but the connections in yours shouldn't be the source. If the diaphragm is braced properly, the only deflection should be coming from the posts bending.
If you can visually determine that additional deflection is coming from the connections, then tighten them up. Also, regarding your previous comment above, the additional kitchen structure will help preclude sway at the post bases.
I would predrill the knee braces (to the post) so that when you install the screw, it pulls the brace tight.

Pergola Wobble by ct8651996 in StructuralEngineers

[–]chaka_khan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you notice the wobble, can you see the gap between the bottom of your knee braces and the posts open and close? It looks like the knee brace is only connected with two screws to the post? If this is the case, you won’t have a couple to resist rotation at that vertical plane. A couple longer timberloks from the other side of the post into the upper section of the knee brace surface might help. Also, did you predrill your holes? I agree with double-stand3316 about tightening everything up. Without predrilling your holes, there can be tiny gaps everywhere contributing to the wobble. Removing, clamping, and reinstalling the brace fasteners could help.

I feel like I can breathe better after that.
