One more thing, I want to make it clear that developers may appear to want to tape yours mouths……BUT, and this is a HUGE BUT, developers don’t really want to invite a huge lawsuit later on because a building fell down.
What they really want is a RonTheRedneck character who appears to be inline...
RW00002 - completely understood, and your point is well graciously taken.
The one thing that I would like to point out is that we all love view Ron’s demeanor, and helpfulness in high regard.
I’m just gonna say it, Ron’s character and attitude blows away even some of the most highly refined...
I had a thought and just had to throw this in. Technically, asking RonTheRedneck if he had checked deflections would be the same as asking him to check if fishes swim!!
Come on guys, do you really think RonTheRedneck is just slapping some popsicle sticks together with hot glue and telling...
@littleinch - in the spirit of a little comedy, you know dang well that your Username “LittleInch” combined with the category “Petroleum” is wide open for entertaining content. Hahahahaha, just kidding!!
Listen here guys! From all of us at Eng-Tips.com, we would like to announce that it is our pleasure to bring entertainment to the engineering community.
If it were up to me, all of you deserve $27,000 for design work. I applaud all of the dedicated individuals here that provide a unique...
@bridgesmith - you gotta admit, RonTheRedneck does fully demonstrate some good ol’ american ingenuity. I believe that people, such as him, have led the way for future generations to be inspired to design REAL WORLD solutions that meet standards and quality that consumers demand.
In the end...
1503-44 - As it is, RonTheRedneck shall rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into believing his design integrity. For you felt a sudden grief, so that you suffered no loss through presenting technical inspections on fellow engineers. But your feelings inside...
It’s fairly simple:
The truss #1 attachment is a design created by Simpson CS Studio software.
Truss #2 design was hand made be RonTheRedneck, who has proven to show distinct qualities of legit engineering practices. Let us not be cruel to those who perform good work with honorable hands.
Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of RonTheRedneck. See how the all engineers wait for the precious fruit of bud designs, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.
Despite the existence of multiple critiques made by engineers against @RonTheRedneck from around this forum, most scholarly attention has been primarily given to those generated by @1503-44. This focus on a single user has limited the scope of research pertaining to reasons behind the criticism...
@RonTheRedneck - your work was well done and thought out. Don’t let any fellow peer disavow that!
And as for your integrity of work, you have walked before many engineers, as your mentors have walked, with the integrity of your knowledge and uprightness, doing according to all that you have...
Hey guys, Everything is going to be alright. Let’s just keep on designing proper trusses to fit the needs and requirements per code and in the honor of providing a protective, life preserving structure that gives refuge to mankind as you, THE Engineer, have been exalted to bestow distinguished...
@swcomposites - haha yes, right now we get those summer storms. But trust me, it sound worse than it is. No biggie.
@brad - nah, don’t worry about machine control. Ol school operations in this place. We don’t need a million dollar machine to wipe our asses.
@1503-44 You know what they mean though. They’re talking about zones with low roof loads. Desert areas, no/low snow, places were it’s common to use light metal roofing finishes, things like that.
@RonRedneck - Project is in Las Vegas. no snow load, dry air, low humidity. honestly, that truss design would work as well.
@Aesur - I truly appreciate the PHD's involved. And of course we ALL appreciate the ease of getting work done when components to building a truss are designed and...
