    Bollard Design

    Apparently, there's an ASTM standard for it. "The ASTM F3016 standard details a testing method to determine a bollards ability to stop a 5,000 lb test vehicle at 10, 20 and 30 MPH" sources: https://www.trafficguard.net/resources/about-us/astm-f3016 https://www.astm.org/f3016_f3016m-19.html

    EV Charging Risk Category for Wind?

    Just an EIT here but I've done a fair amount of foundation engineering on signs (monument/wall/pole). We have always made monument signs RC 2. (though we are in florida and whatever we design will surely see a hurricane in its lifetime) If these are standardized products, I would certainly go...

    Residential Termite/Fire/Water Damage Repair

    Yes exactly. At the previous company I worked for it would take all of 3 hours between site visits and making the drawing. We'd get around 500-1000 (pre-covid inflation) each job. We'd done it so many times we just had a template and some details that we'd copy/paste (and adjust as needed).

    Residential Termite/Fire/Water Damage Repair

    I previously interned for a small structural engineering company that did some residential jobs for demolition and renovation/repair companies (think Servpro, Terminix, and other Termite repair/Flood/Fire damage businesses). Did projects that ranged from rotten roof sheathing to fire/termite...

    Storage Container Design Loading

    This is what I've been able to find, neither are very reputable, but the first has some references that may be of use. I've never designed a structure using containers though. https://www.structuremag.org/?p=22699 https://www.containerhandbuch.de/chb_e/stra/index.html?/chb_e/stra/stra_03_00.html

    Residential Calculations

    @jerseyshore I just opened Forte for the first time and made an account. I cant believe that it's free! Most residential really doesn't even need paid calc software it looks like. Thank you so much for this.

    Eccentricity On Walls Transfer to Footings

    I've looked and looked for resources on shipping container standards and using them for structures and cant find any. Do you have some resources that you pull from??

    LVL Corner Column Uplift Connector

    RWW0002 you were 100% right that I needed to take a closer look at my loads. I was "double dipping" putting load that was actually taken by my beams also on my hip.
