    Experience with ASTM C157 (Length change measurements of Concrete)

    Guys, thanks so much for your input. To follow up - I de-molded by unscrewing the threaded plates by hand. With a good oiling, it was no problem at all

I graduated with a degree in civil engineering (focus w/ Structural) and have been working for a year now in the industry.

    Can I end up where I'd like to, given what I'm doing now

    I'm a recent graduate of a civil engineering program. I'm working as an E.I.T. designer currently for a small consulting firm. They do a lot of specific specialized stuff, but we also do a lot of general structural engineering, ex. foundation design, roof analysis for additional loads...
