Is there an American structural glass design code or manual. I've tried to to Google this without much luck.
I am trying to provide calcs for a glass canopy, and need some design parameters and allowable physical properties. The canopy is supporting its own weight, snow load, and wind; and...
I need to analyze a 18"dia pipe, but am unable to find out the physical properties such as area, section modulus, and moment of inertia. The ASD only shows up to 12" dia.
I could calculate it, but I don't know the exact thickness either. Does anyone know where I could find this info without...
Dave,
I actually took the SEI and SEII last fall. I failed the SEII. I was pretty exhausted after two 8 hour exams in consecutive days. I studied many hours in preparation, about 1 year in advance. I am getting ready to study once again for the spring exam. Hopefully, I will pass it and not have...

Its a forum which commments on the PE and SE exams exclusively.
I just past my SEI in the Fall and am taking the SEII in the Spring. I used the "NCEES Structural I Engineering Sample...
I am considering moving from Chicago to Manhattan for personal reasons. I am wondering if anyone has any information regarding how cut throat the job market is out there for structural engineering jobs.
I have 5 years experience as a project engineer working on both new design and repair...
I took the Chicago SE refresher course last Fall. It was well worth it for me, especially the seismic. However, it was pretty convenient since my office is only 5 blocks away. I knew someone who drove 4-1/2 hours twice a week for 3-1/2 months. That's dedication!
I am taking the test for the...
I am assuming your question is in regards to lateral drift, and not snow drift.
It has been my experience that most wood porches do not have a lateral force resisting system at all. In Chicago, where porches are scrutinized closely after last year's deadly collapse, I am sure to design...
Thanks for the input. After further testing, the caissons go down to bedrock and we have plenty of capacity.
After exposing the top of the caisson in the basement, the original vertical wood plank forms were found, as was described above in the "Chicago Method." Very interesting stuff!
I am currently working on a project in Chicago in which we are trying to determine the capacity the existing foundations. The 10-story building was built in 1911 and one was on of the first reinf concrete buildings. It was discovered that the foundations are concrete caissons. It was also...
