    Great video my guy. I’m studying for a firefighter promotional exam and of course we get deep into building construction, types, etc and everything in between. This helped me a lot after reading over a sectioning specific on post tensioning cables, concrete, etc. Glad I found your channel. Along with my required and not so much required reading I’m looking forward to viewing more of your videos in order to further understand construction, building construction and the like. Thanks for the concise, simple, and great video information sir.

    Hi, @SmithintheBuilding1984. What does the number inside the square brackets [12] in the structural annotation W14x22 [12] mean? Thank you.

    • @SmithintheBuilding1984
      @SmithintheBuilding1984 8 днів тому

      Hi, thanks for trusting me with your question. In the structural annotation W14 x W22 [12], the number inside the square brackets [12] typically represents the gauge or thickness of the material being referred to. Good luck!
