I am so lucky to have found your videos..as a student i ve been struggling to imagine what the support looks like and how to choose one. Truly life saviour!
wao, these are exactly the details and explanations we miss in class, we never knew how pinned or fixed in real world and also we know the sign conventions, that's all, This gentleman is saving all the time of young engineers and is great help. must watch all of his videos , if you want to save time.
Thanks for this video. I eventually learnt this when building a floor frame and thinking none of these joist to bearer connections are true pins, nor fixed connections, they're just somewhere in between. Going through university, I was a very visual learner and wish this information was made more clear to me at the time. We were mainly shown triangles as supports in simple beams and frames. Was very theoretical and I struggled to translate it to real life
I would love to do something like this but because of the work I do, it isn’t live construction projects. And I’m subject to privilege so I can’t share any details on them. I am working on splitting my time to do forensic/expert work mixed in with some design projects but that may take some time.
@@EverydayDazz wouldn't need to be a live project. Could be a traditional housing project with a sprinkle of everything...? I could mash up a few house styles so they are a malgamation. I wonder if you can buy modular house packs and invent the problems that require solving. Throw in a retaining wall from good measure, a goal post frame and you can cover quite a bit. NHBC foundation depth checks and heave protection measure always come up. Suspended ground floor, timber floor / precast first floor option, and trussand timber rafter option for the roof. As a TH-cam "series/playlist" I believe it would be the perfect step up.
Love the content Dazz please continue these amazing work! Just a quick question, what are the top technical skills you believe a fresh graduate pursuing structural engineering must have?
Obviously being able to do calculations is important. Keen eye for detail, able to think and look at a problem holistically, communication, sketching and i think most importantly the mindset to learn and take on board feedback. Ive seen graduates that think they know a lot coming from university, if you can accept that you really don’t anything, the better because you will need to learn so much as you start out.
@@EverydayDazz thank you so much for this insight! More worked examples on calculations if possible please. Continue the good work and thank you so much again, cheers!
I think it would be very useful to make a video about how to consider the effective length of a beam in its design compared to the construction support detail. Say a ridge steel beam sat on padstone versus a steel beam supporting a 1st floor wall above. Or other examples. Good job. With the videos.
The fixed support diagram you showed. The first picture for concrete beam showed a u bar lapping from the column to the beam. I thought you said that was pinned at the start of the video. Can you clarify this. I enjoy your videos
A u-bar can be classed as fixed but it can be difficult to get adequate lap length with just the u-bar to act as fixed. That’s why I said generally when you see a u-bar connection it is pinned.
a moment is a force so very different to movement. a moment is created when you apply a force or a load a distance away from a fixed support. A fixed support is where a support is trying to resist against rotation. If you imagine you put your arm out straight and then you push down on your hand but you try and resist it so that your arm doesn't move. The feeling you get in your shoulder joint is a moment where your shoulder is the fixed support trying to resist against rotation. The longer the force is applied away from a support, the larger the moment. If you did the same exercise but you pushed down near your elbow, the moment you experience in your shoulder is much less. hopefully this explains what a moment is.

Theory to real life practicality is very different and some engineers can struggle with transferring one to the other.
Dazz would you do a series on one of your projects from start to finish? From schemes to design solutions etc?
I could help you with putting/structuring this together if you want Daz. I'll buzz you on linkedin if you like?

Ok, sounds good. I’ll see if I’ve got any old projects that fit the bill and can look to structure a mini video series on it 👍
@@EverydayDazz give me a shout if you need anything.
Thanks
Good explanation 👍
Brilliant as usual Dazz
I like your channel, you just got yourself a new subscriber
We all love these connection videos haha

Good shout! Added to the list.
I also have a video planned on what real situations actually constitutes as lateral restraint to beams.
Very Informative
You are doing a great job :)

Please offer approved calculations set for each structural member please
👍🏻
Would you explain what you mean by « moment » as opposed to « movement » for viewers who are not engineers?
a moment is a force so very different to movement. a moment is created when you apply a force or a load a distance away from a fixed support. A fixed support is where a support is trying to resist against rotation.
If you imagine you put your arm out straight and then you push down on your hand but you try and resist it so that your arm doesn't move. The feeling you get in your shoulder joint is a moment where your shoulder is the fixed support trying to resist against rotation.
The longer the force is applied away from a support, the larger the moment. If you did the same exercise but you pushed down near your elbow, the moment you experience in your shoulder is much less.
hopefully this explains what a moment is.
Where are you brother?
