I am a Chartered Engineer in UK with a MEng degree from Cardiff University. Throughout my career I have designed projects ranging from tiny house extensions to multi-million pound structures. I have experience designing in the four major construction materials. I lead and manage projects from concept to completion. I have a passion to mentor and share knowledge which is why I have started this channel, I also love new tech!
I make videos on:
- Helping young civil and structural engineers with their chosen career
- Professional chartership advice drawn from my own experiences
- Advice and my own personal experiences as a practicing structural engineer
- Tech and app reviews
I aim to upload videos on Wednesday and Saturday.

Why you need to take rest! - Burning out a quick update
Very good! Thank you.
As an experienced professional engineer I would suggest to consider for the ice as it would give better chance in advancing your career later however if you are very interested in engineering and techniques the iStructE would be better choice it would take a whole career devotions into the engineering subjects. Thanks for sharing and best of luck for everyone into the engineering.
Thank you for sharing. 😊
what does the (18+10)/2 implies? There are 4 walls (1,2,3,4) having orientation of their major axis parallel to wind force.
Great video. I’m in the same profession and have made similar mistakes. Great video and good advice. Got to keep Learning and continuing developing within the Structures world. Hope the ICE exam went well second time. Passed mine 7 years ago and you still can’t be expected to know everything even when Chartered.
Hi Im confused by the last bit. You used 54 for Gk in your moment calc. Is this correct. I thought it would have been 0.476 n/mm2?
Can you suggest how to show the pointer location while drawing with apple pencil? For example, a pointer similar to the one displayed during erasing.
Thank you Daz, but how to calculate the shear between the steel beam and the steel plate for specifying welding?
Why the area of strut is square area and not triangle or prism? (304x500) Looks wrong to me can anybody explain
Une aide vraiment utile et bien faite...un seul regret : j'aurais aimé le commentaire en francais.
Hello there, a question regarding to your overturning check of the foundation why did not you add the additional moment due to eccentric load (column) you have calculated at the beginning of the video of 500 kN.m with the overturning moment ?
Can you explain why deflection is 20*10^4 please? Around 7 mins in?
That is all true what you are saying, but most of the employers are all looking for newcomers to be chartered or having some kind of license. I still don't get that requirement. It is not easy getting a chance. We all gotta start somewhere to gai that experience.
😘Excellent all round-Thanx Bro!
Thankuu
Yay, finally a left handed person like me.
As a Civil Engineer with 37 years walk, a had all my dreams made true, I calculate and design any civil Structure you can imagine from structure, higways, hidráulic, enviromental and foundation engineering. all my blueprints had uniques hand made Details drawings to show a clear idea to What is requiered. “If you can imagínated, and you can calcúlate it; you have to draw it for disbelieving eye”.
Thanks for this. Ive been looking for something like this app. Tried procreate but not quite what i need.
the music is annoying bro
I'm looking to replace hardwood bed frame nonsense roof beams in my garage, and doing some back-of-the-envelope structural analysis with your guide was really helpful. It's remarkable how strong 80x80mm hardwood beams are, I seem to need 120mm section i beam to match the strength!
I have 2 rows of 4 piles. Can I still use the same method?
The video is informative, but errors and ommisions make this a very difficult watch. Maybe reconsider remaking it as there really nothing much otherwise out there, so it could be great
merci mon ami!!
Thanks a lot 🙏
Thankyou for this.
What app do you use to sketch ?
Is there any way to simply create a template or a saved custom page format to facilitate future work?
what is the software that your using to mark up
Should the additional moment due to shear and thickness of the foundation be added to the bearing stress check as well?
You dont show the books. Please show it, then we can see the books properly.
tl;dr it's a very averagely paid job. You'll make at least as much doing anything else that requires any degree. However this has chartership nonsense and a lot of unpaid overtime, so I'd say only bother if you REALLY love it, otherwise its not worth doing. Good news is that many high paying jobs will value an engineering degree, so you're not fucked if you decide to change to something that actually pays money
If you get lost (infinite is quite big), you can use the little arrows at the edge of the screen to get back to where you started - just tap one and you’ll zoom home. What is the think that we have for android similar to arrows which ipad has? Could you please help this as soon as possible.
You CANNOT use BS to design any type of connection!!! BS was superseded 10 years ago !!!
M6 (4.6) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This was calcs for bike ?
Bullshit 😂 In UK “hand calcs” are so “important” because client is charged on hourly rates. You re not able to “verify by hand” proper 3D structure behaviour for example wind load applied acc to EC acting from 360 degrees
textbook is right its 2.3
Even the gas stations which somehow compete against each other, as a community have each other's back having a minimum price!! That's what should Engineering firms and Engineers be doing by considering the level of responsibility and the added value to humanity. The Engineer's rights and values should be protected by local and international institutes!! I always like to give two different examples by comparing Doctors and Engineers: 1. The Payment: 1.1)When you need a doctor, you need to book a time. Upon arrival, the secretary will charge you in advance (whether you like the “service” or not). Get there in time or not, you need to wait for the doctor which most likely is behind schedule. Will buy the medications before getting the results. If the diagnostics were wrong never go back to Camplaine. Will you?!!! 1.2) . Can ever an engineer to do so!? When you need a project usually give on the phone or on-site consultations for free. If win the project, you will get paid usually after the final delivery. Most definitely you need to deal with an “unhappy” client several times. 2. The scale of the responsibility: 2.1) If a neurosurgeon makes a mistake on the day of the surgery, how many people will die? Even if declared dead, doctors can yet claim the person had a health condition!! 2.2) If a structural engineer miscalculates a residential building and causes a collapse, how many people will die? I did not even start to compare with a Dam Engineer. If a Dam collapses what will be the scale of the damage, (the people's lives, the wildlife, nature, the culture of a disappeared city, ambientaç damage…) I leave it to you imagine the rest!!! Not to forget the many years of guarantee. 3) Overall: now you compare the level of income and the respect these two professionals have. It's unbelievably absurd. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I was curious on why didnt you design a footing and a pedestal for your mezzanine. Is it okay if I also dont use footing and pedestal and just bolt my base plate on the existing concrete slab?
Doesn’t matter I meet lot of “charted” engineers from ice / istructe which doesn’t have basic knowledge.
This app blows the competition out of the water
So useful, thank you
IStructE all the way. They are barely comparable in terms of difficulty.
Which software?
What do you think about midas ngen
I'm leaving a career in research and starting a consulting engineering journey now. This is very important and I love your videos man.
Fascinating to watch how you sketch with Concepts. I’m also an SE and have used it for 3+ years to replace paper. Our results are similar, but we use it so differently - and I learned a few tricks from you! Thanks!
Hello :) How can I apply the strut and tie method if my column is under tension, given that I would have a TTT node at the top of the pile cap and a TTC node at the bottom. I guess the formulas for the nodes would be different, but where can I find them for that specific case and what else is important to know if the columm is under tension? Also, is the the shape of the triangle, i.e. the compression and tension lines, the same, or in the case of uplift forces, it is an inverted triangle, i.e. symmetrical in relation to the middle plane of the pile cap? Thanks in advance :) 
Really clear and helpful, thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Grateful if you could do more videos like this! Your personal advice and perspective, especially coming from your extensive experience, are incredibly valuable. They are a great reference for my work and decision-making.👍👍👍
Hey mate, thanks for sharing. This is interesting. You mentioned that you don't typically "do" steel connections. Is it the case that you would not typically design it or not draft/document it? So, then who does it if the engineer is not doing it?
Most often the steel contractor will sub contract the steel connection design
