For everyone who is new to the channel: Hi, I am Laurin, structural engineer, content creator and athlete.
In the last 2.5 years I built Structural Basics which is a learning platform and community for structural engineering. We have a weekly newsletter with over 9500 subscribers, a blog with 100+ articles and 40.000+ monthly visitors, and this UA-cam channel, where I am sharing snippets of my life as a structural engineer and structural engineering knowledge. On this channel, I am sharing my learnings and failures being a structural engineer, but also my journey creating Structural Basics. Let’s grow together!

Masonry walls are commonly used in residential family houses. They resist vertical and horizontal loads from floors or external wind. And in some cases, masonry walls need to resist concentrated loads from beams. In this video, I’ll show, step-by-step, how you verify masonry walls that are subjected to point loads. 👇👇DOWNLOAD THE FREE STRUCTURAL DESIGN CHEATSHEET👇👇 📧📧 Download for free: www.str...

Punching shear is a type of shear failure that occurs close to where a concentrated load is applied to a slab. The failure happens in a circular shape around the concentrated load. The 2 main situations where punching shear occurs are: - flat slabs supported by a column and - pad footings or foundation rafts that support a column.

    Thank you for sharing. I am living in Denmark now, but in Aarhus, and I am thinking of giving Denmark one last chance and moving to Copenhagen. I have all of the same issues in the Aarhus area, but I am thinking maybe it won't be as extreme as in Aarhus. The Danish landscape, nature and weather is the strangest issue for me though. I come from the Lithuanian coast and my country is just as flat, cloudy and sometimes has a lack of winter like Denmark, but I still feel like the Danish one is always worse. I think the Danish nature and landscape just feels kind of controlled, planned or fake compared to Germany or Lithuania. It is more similar to Netherlands which just feels wrong in some way. I also visited Norway a lot in my life, which has the same problems as Denmark, but has wild and beautiful nature and the life there feels just fine. For me as a Lithuanian even though my country is doing quite well economically, the people back in Lithuania is something I do not miss as they are not the same people when they are in herd as they are when they are expats.

      Hi, Thanks for sharing your experience. I thinks it’s the general struggle as an expat in Denmark. Probably just more extreme in Aarhus than it is in Copenhagen. Good luck in Copenhagen. Yeah exactly. The Danish nature feels fake. There‘s not a lot of trees and the weather in winter isn’t helping😄 Nevertheless I had a fantastic time in Cogenhagen, but I am happy to be in Munich now.

    Hi, thank you so much for this helpful video. I am from the UK and have a huge end of year project where I have to produce a detailed design for a multi-storey building. I have been using the 'Manual for the design of timber building structures to Eurocode 5'.This video title states according to euro code and yet looking in this manual the equations and method is very very different. I have already used your method and equations in this video for the design of my timber joists, and don't know what to do. Whether to continue with yours as to whether it is right or what is seen in the manual even though. both of you claim to be according to eurocode. I really need help😅

    • @structuralbasics97

      Hi, I don’t know what equations the book shows, but you should always get a copy of Eurocode and don’t just use equations from a book blindly. Each country also has a national annex which sometimes defines formulas differently than the general Eurocode. Hope this helps. Laurin

    This was a really great video and so helpful for a project that I am working on right now. I was wondering, is there any guidance for how to determine internal pressure co-officiants? That's something else that confuses me. I have read the code and know that essentially its either -0.3 or +0.2. Is this all there is to it? This code is so confusing!!!

    • @structuralbasics97
      @structuralbasics97 8 місяців тому

      Hi Nabil, That’s a good and tricky question as internal wind pressure isn’t that easy to understand. On a project where I designed suspended ceilings I used the coefficients 0.2 and 0.3 as you mentioned. However, when you have large openings in a building like a warehouse you should use the normal coefficients on walls if not even increase them bc of the increased pressure difference.

    - [00:00] 🏗 Timber beams are commonly used in buildings, such as ceilings, roofs, and garages, and this video demonstrates how to design and verify the dimensions of a wooden beam according to Eurocode. - [01:10] 🏡 Most Timber beams are simply supported, and understanding the static system is crucial. This often involves one fixed support and one roller support, which are essential components for flat roofs. - [03:00] 🪚 Timber material selection is based on factors like project span, cost, and personal preference, with choices including structural wood or engineered wood like glue-lam or laminated veneer lumber. - [04:05] 📐 To design a Timber beam, you need to define the cross-sectional width and height, which are based on the designer's experience. This information is crucial for calculating the moment of inertia, which is required for stress calculations. - [05:40] 📈 In the ultimate limit state design (ULS), you verify the stresses in Timber members due to bending and shear. This involves calculating load combinations and comparing resistance stresses to design stress. - [08:10] 🏗 In the serviceability limit state (SLS) design, you ensure that the beam's deflection does not exceed specified values, and you calculate instantaneous and final deflection criteria based on load combinations and material properties.

    • @structuralbasics97
      @structuralbasics97 Рік тому

      Hi, That depends on the structural system. It could be that the facade is designed in a way that it’s supported by the floors. In that case the facade needs to be designed to resist that wind load. I have only seen cases where the facade was connected to the floors. However, in theory, the facade elements could also be connected to the columns. Then the columns need to be verified for the wind load. In both cases, the wind load gets distributed to the floors and from there to the walls or stabilizing system. And then down to the foundation.
