talk about how stiffness effects the whole system. Your explanations are very concise.

Curious, do you do these videos calculating things by hand, because you do that at work? Or just because you're studying, sharing knowledge, etc? I would assume for the SE exam, one would need to know how to do hand calculations for many things. Loved the video, thanks! 👍👍

Excellent Materials Keep going

Nice! For X-mas I would like a 'complete' design of a simple (or complex) steel frame building. Especially interested in industry practice for doing stability/buckling analyses and which software is used. Context: We are developing a framework for FEM simulations, initially focusing on wind turbines. However, we are now looking into expanding into more traditional structural engineering simulation use cases such as buckling of steel frames.

Hi Rich! Great video! Can you talk more about the detailing requirements when it comes to braced frames or moment frames? What kind of detailing is required if i were to select a moderately ductile system for example? Do these refer to the ductility of the connections?

Hi, I am studying for my PE Civil Structures NCEES exam and was planning to take the exam end of 2024, but with the new spec exam update effective April 2024 they updated codes and standards. During the last period, I was studying using the codes posted in the current exam standards. Please advise me, should I take the exam on the current specs knowing that I am not fully prepared? or should I wait and start using the new standards knowing that I cannot afford to get all of these codes -shown in the April 2024 exam specs-?

Hey First-Time commenter here. I Love what you're doing. Your shearwall videos really helped me out in my internship over the summer. I was taking notes on your deflection calcs for the Pinned Moment frame and the units weren't jiving. I did a quick unit analysis and here is what I came up with (in Freedom Units lol) kips*(in^3*in^2*in^1) / kips*(in^4) = in^2. I used MathCAD to confirm I wasn't seeing things and It came up the same. Any thoughts?

I will catch up one day
