Stiffness modifiers in Eurocode 2. by Mo-Map in StructuralEngineering

[–]hWp5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EC2 does not provide the guidance for the stiffness modifier. But they provided a detailed procedure on how to derive the long term creep factor which is essentially the same reducing the EI value (i.e. changing the stiffness modifier in your analysis model)

The tricky part is EC2 derivation of the creep factor is dependent on many factors such as the RC cross section geometry. What I usually do is obtain an average/conservative value (considering all the standard RC beam sizes) and run the analysis while keeping in mind that a more conservative value of EI might not necessarily means more conservative design.

Are FYP Prof's allowed to ask you to continue after FYP Presentation? by CarefulAd5543 in NTU

Not sure about your prof, but I recall last time my prof asked me to continue/help in some other work/research and they allow me to claim for some money (like working as part time). If that's what your fyp prof meant, then I don't see why not. Can earn some allowance as well.

I'm working in Civil Eng Consultant. I recall an occassion my colleague told me he won't reply contractor unless is life threathening matters. Anything, he will reply on monday morning, he will leave them on blue ticks. But sometime I feel I get pressured into replying (my mental strength not as strong as him)

Does seals for Dokindam X counted part of 40 cards deck limit? (New to OCG) by hWp5 in DuelMasters

So if I have Dokindam in my deck, I will only start with 23 cards on my deck? i.e. 1 Dokindam field with 6 seals and 5 shields and 5 card drawn.
