  1. @Aedius @BrianHarrod 'What do we need a structural engineer for? This is a renovation, not a new build!'

    Yeah, they probably should've hired a structural engineer. One with experience doing building inspections.

    (And if they had one, then they should've hired a better one.)

  3. @inyourbits Interesting article, approach and experiment. I'll give it a spin!

    Nevertheless, I'd like to point out this: Assume everyone's wrangling their code now.

    • Now you have one more ultra-high value target to attack. Let's say since we're all specialists in fending off exactly those expectable types of attacks and sufficient funds to pay the defenders of the wrangler materialize and thus, this does not become a problem.
    • Wrangler will yield results and findings. It is likely to end up, rightfully so, stopping builds and deliveries. Those findings will be, given the usual quality of software, vibed/llm'd or not, the usual huge laundry list. Or regular smaller lists.

    This brings us to the age-old problem of how do you get the resolution or even triaging of the laundry list financed and prioritized on the regular and early enough?
    Usually this comes down to creating the appropriate levels of risk perception and urgency at the right levels. Something that the European CRA and its US cousins are the latest attempt at.
    Of course, this needs to be paired with feasible, low barrier of entry ways of resolution through tooling and education during higher ed.

    Unfortunately that's where I see a large gap.
    There is virtually zero education on the reality and dynamics of FOSS in higher ed. (EU perspective)
    Even though safe and smart use of FOSS will be the daily business of likely 80+% of new grads throughout their career.

    And that's only the technical, i.e. security aspect of FOSS. The legal aspects are usually fully ans wilfully ignored until the first letters or claims arrive.

    Absolutely untenable conditions if we're comparing it with other engineering domains such as structural engineering if you ask me.

  4. Bridgewater Bridge, Tasmania.
    Technical Advisory group of engineers’ advice ignored by State Government and builder.

    This is what happens when professional engineers allow themselves to be bullied and pushed around by greedy #corporate bureaucrats who have no respect for or understanding of applied science or reality.

  8. Why Structural BIM is Essential 🏗️

    •90% of design conflicts resolved before construction starts.
    •40% reduction in rework costs by minimizing human errors.
    •30% cut in material wastage through optimized design.
    •20% reduction in overall project costs via streamlined workflows.
    •10% reduction in schedule overruns.

    Building safer, smarter, and more sustainable structures.

  10. My silliest accomplishment at my last corporate #structuralengineering job (company with thousands of employees) was getting #emacs added to the approved/allowed software list.

    I imagine the IT people had no idea what they were enabling.

  12. Finally published this data puzzle on professional #structuralengineering licensure in the US using @observablehq framework

    structural-engineering.fyi

    Things that sucked:

    - license api changes
    - only one state using open data to disseminate this information
    - needing to take steps to obfuscate the api and aggregate data (getting the raw data was a PITA and I don’t want someone just yoinking a csv file)

  14. The only thing scarier than the speed at which this guy went from zero knowledge about the structure to cutting though joists and slapping together load bearing walls, is the multitude of people in the comments wishing he would do the same to their homes. A good reminder of why building permits are a thing.

  16. Nerdiest thing I have done in a while…

    When you *really* want a book on Japanese and German structural wood joinery but the flat shipping cost is more than half the cost of the book, you find 4 friends to go in on buying a bunch of copies #structuralengineering

  18. I am happy to announce the latest release of NODEMaple on GitHub.

    NODEMaple consists of a set of Maple workbooks and a library for structural design based on the Eurocode, with the focus on Design of Timber Constructions according to Eurocode 5.

    For more information and download see Github:

  19. 🚀 BEHOLD: The #AI that's going to magically revolutionize building design by repeating "Features" and "How it works" like a broken record. 🏗️ Apparently, throwing enough #buzzwords at a wall will make structural engineering happen. 🤖✨ Just don't ask it to actually plan anything without a human holding its hand. 🙄

  22. Differentiating between shear walls and columns is crucial in structural design, especially when their geometries overlap. While both elements transfer loads, their behavior under stress, reinforcement requirements, and design criteria vary significantly. #ShearWall #Structuralengineering #ColumnDesign #AspectRatio

  23. Pretty interesting #Veritasium video about the structural engineering of the 59-story Citigroup Building (601 Lexington Avenue) in New York, wind loads, dealing with potentially catastrophic mistakes, and blowing the whistle on yourself.

  26. Today's #dataviz of #structuralengineering licensing data is a reproduction of a plot I made when I was looking at only a few states' data for the average "age" of a license.

    The original plot allowed you to choose a state to look at their data alone.

  28. No surprise, it's around #structuralengineering, based on conversations with a number of my friends. The big controversy for the past few months has been the SE exam and whether 1) it's a fair exam and 2) it's worth taking.

    The latest pass rate was <20% for some sections.

  29. A friend in the #structuralengineering #aec industry is attending his employer’s panel on professional/business development and how to succeed within the company.

    Already two of the panelists have said something along the lines of “sheer luck”.

    🤦‍♀️🫠

  30. Mild #softwaregore, but I get a real kick out of overpriced building/design codes (that you have to buy in order to design to what’s *required* by law) not even having a functioning purchasing website.

    (Btw my husband did report the bug already)
