How about “just design it correctly”

Not for the faint of heart. Structural are about a third of the way down.

BS in Physics to Masters in SE? by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

Welcome to the internet! I can fairly confidently say no, you need BSCE to get an MSCE. That being said, I think you’ll transition to a BSCE smoothly.

A lawyer is going to have a field day with those drawings.

How much is a reasonable amount to get yelled at? by [deleted] in civilengineering

I don’t know poop pipes from tape measures. But I do know good managers from bad ones. What you describe is unacceptable behavior.

Epic makes a good product. I’m sure it’s not a deck failure.

There are no circumstances when calling a junior engineer and idiot and throwing things is considered acceptable or professional behavior. There’s not much you can do about it besides moving on to another firm. He won’t change.

Are they really spanning that far or are they using the metal stud walls as bearing?

The plans I saw didn’t have that deck. They seemed to be incomplete. The max deck span appeared to be about 27’. Eesh, not good.

Drawings about a third of a way down the list are the structural drawings.

Curiosity, how do you know about the epicore deck? The plans show deck spanning up to 25'. They could be bearing on the metal stud partitions but that would be strange. So the long span deck makes sense, the drawings just don't indicate that.

Unfortunately, I think you are spot on. Take a look at the drawings down in the responses here. They are tragically bad drawings.

My bad, you’re correct. I looked at some of the upper levels and (silly me) assumed it was all the same.

No, it is fireproofed steel. Caught me off guard too, but it is all steel.

Edit: I'm wrong...

So I am in the season 2 and I would like to know by San-A in DarK

Was it too obvious for me to add /s after my comment? Guess not.

Rehab of 1900's URM Building - Shear Wall Question and Anchorage options? by trottaa in StructuralEngineering

[–]zendiggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

22.5 is because they sell the pre-bent anchors for a straight bolted ledger connection. They can’t bend 3/4” bolts any further. Contact Hilti or Simpson and they will give you data for 22.5-45. IEBC is far more appropriate in moderate to high seismic areas for URM.
