    What do all the useless engineering graduates do for work?

    Life has its ups and downs, like a never-ending cycle. The key is to keep fighting and never give up. You can always make a living through parallel jobs like teaching or other honest work. Remember, most people won't care about your struggles, so be strong and stop complaining. Keep pushing...

    Bridge or vertical

    My Friend, for Tall structures, your job will be mostly dealing with structural modeling, structural analysis (on higher level). As you mentioned some large scale of steel towers (wind tunnels, rocket testing facilities). These projects filled with advanced structural analysis (problems solver)...

    Please Explain the "Reaction Score" System

    AT First, I admire your development efforts, and wish you all the best course of engineering success. Just one point "Might be Iam Old" just the writings are fade and not clear (as before) to read or to follow up. dark colors (with high contrast could be added as an option for the Form Display...

    Hasty and dangerous process of Curved Box Girder

    similar to picture below (it is simply supported curved composite box-girder) edited Nothing in top (no tendons) and 5 tendons going through bottom (harped shape), with top ordinary reinforced concrete deck 15-20cm (6-8") with fc'=40 M2a (6000 psi)

    Hasty and dangerous process of Curved Box Girder

    @ LittleInch, its actual case where they did not carry out the Post-tensioning process in two stages (i.e. firstly at assemblage stage of spliced steel girders and lastly after Top deck poured and fully cured). its simply spliced curved box girder. the construction company insisted on completing...

    Increasing number of ads on Eng-Tips

    To me a few ads are absolutely harmless. It is very natural that there is funding for such sites, which require operation, maintenance, and also development, as Kotak mentioned. Why are you surprised by such a step that we accept on other sites? Providing engineering information is a voluntary...
