The web site for the German DIN organization is: www.din.de The default is of course German, but in the upper right corner is a button for "English Version", click that and you have the site in English. That should give you a start to search for the specs you are looking for. If I remember...

You must have your wife agreeing to your commitment! I started off with just one class besides a 40 h work week that worked out fine (married with 3 kids). Before I started night school for my masters degree, I discussed it with my wife. It is obvious that you need to put some study time in...

Thank you for all your input. Attached is the picture with a few clarifying comments. To better describe the situation and answer some of your questions: The joists rest on both sides on parallel steel I-beams. One I-beam (A) goes through the center of the entire basement and the other...

Hi, I am a mechanical engineer and would like to learn more about residential structural engineering. Is there a good book that has practical problems? I have experience with the "Schaums outline" which I like very much, unfortunately there is no specific "residential structural" book in this...
