@@JulieFreund Thank you so much for the encouragement. My next one will be on the All Heights MWFRS method and then I’ll get into C&C!

@@ardalanhsn5564 I just got my results today and unfortunately I didn’t pass. The pass rate was 16%. I hope to get it next time!

@@QuickQuestionEngineering wow! That sounds really tough. I hope you pass next time, thanks for getting back to me. All the best of luck and success.

@@ardalanhsn5564 Thanks! Appreciate the support

De nada!

Sorry for the delay in replying. Great catch! You're correct, the minimum pressures should be on only one side of the building as it is the "net" pressure. In my spreadsheet, the minimum base shear should be half of what is shown for load case A and B which will make the minimum pressures even farther away from controlling. Thanks again for pointing this out!

@@QuickQuestionEngineeringThanks for confirming. I will say I prepared a spread sheet similar to your example as it is well organized and helpful. In fact it was the way I discovered the discrepancy. I ran several wind conditions and was puzzled why the minimum was controlling. When updating some of the references to ASCE 07-22 versions I noticed the issue. One thing I did add was a simple sketch in excel and inserted the loads at each face, so it is easy to see the change in one view. Its a bit crude but if are interested I'll send a copy for review.

@@TheModelmaker123 That’s awesome! I’d love to take a look at it if you don’t mind. My email is quickquestioneng@gmail.com. I’m finishing up another video solving the same example but using the Directional Procedure Part 2. I just created a footnote to cover the minimum pressure checks and avoid confusion this time.

I posted videos for three methods on this playlist. Only one left now which I’ll post soon. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for catching this. In step 5, the total vertical load for the roof is in Kips. I mistakenly had it labeled as PSF. "Wall Pressure" in that same table should read as "roof pressure". I appreciate the feedback. I'll make sure to have these corrected for the next video.

You’re welcome!

Hi @iam_stl, great questions. #1. Zones 4 and 4E are negative values in step 3 because the pressure acts away from the wall surface (thus the negative value). In step 5, technically they are negative as well. In my spreadsheet, I used the absolute values for all pressures because I'm adding the pressures from the windward side (zones 1 & 1E) and the leeward (zones 4 & 4E). #2. I used the positive internal pressures only because they always control for uplift. The positive internal pressure acts from the inside of the building towards the roof and the roof pressures act away from the roof but from the outside. Therefore they add up, whereas the negative internal pressure subtracts from the roof uplift pressures. These are great questions that I may bring up in my next video. Let me know if my explanations made sense or if you have more questions. Thanks for the good wishes! I'm taking lateral depth today! 😬

Thanks! I hope to post the next videos on this series soon

Great! I just feel like wind load are quite complex maybe I should say tedious. This envelope method I found is like most convenient method. I am probably going to use automation method in STAAD and compare with this simplified method. @@QuickQuestionEngineering

Thank you!

Thank you for watching and double checking the numbers. You’re correct! The dead load should be 4.32k, not 6.75k. For the post, I did use DFL No. 1 posts and timber from table 4D. Note that there are two lines for posts and timbers in this case. That’s for two different grading agencies, but Fc is 1,000psi for both.

You’re welcome!

Great question! We sum the loads because on one side we have a positive windward pressure, and on the other side we have the negative/suction leeward pressure. They act simultaneously as the wind hits the windward wall, travels around the side walls and create suction on the leeward walls.

Thank you for the explanation, I actually had it totally wrong 😅... I thought, since the building is enclosed and there is no internal positive pressure on the leeward walls, that the suction does not affect the MWFRS, but only affects the sidings or glazing attached to that wall...Cheers!

Creio que a cópia traduzida e juramentada é suficiente pra NCEES. Se vc olhar no site da NCEES, acho que eles tem um exemplo das descrições de curso. Creio que são só descrições breves e não a ementa completa. Valeu pelo comentário e boa sorte!

Thank you! For civil engineering that would be the next step. I believe it is the same for electrical. Best of luck!

You’re welcome! Glad to help

Thanks Pavan!

I think it just needs to be stamped from the faculty/staff directly

Thank you

Hi Andres, you can find practice exams & the specs on the NCEES website.

Hi! Sorry, I’m not sure about this one. I’d send your question directly to NCEES

Thanks!

I’d recommend AEI for both now. Thanks!

@@QuickQuestionEngineering Appreciate the time answering. I will be enrolling with AEI.

@@fredr.6757 you’re welcome!

You’re welcome!

Thank you so much for the support and prayers! 🙏

Thanks!

Best of luck! Hope it goes well

We got this!

Thank you guys both for being transparent and sharing how the exam went plus results. You guys are both huge inspirations to myself and the structural engineering community!

Thanks so much! We’ll keep on helping our community

Pode sim, mas teria que validar seu diploma aqui depois que se formar

Hi there, the codes are all provided during the exam, so you won’t need to buy any hard copies. Your company may already have PDF versions of the codes that would be able to use for your studies. Please note that the main difference in the specifications is that starting in April 2024, there will be only the structural depth portion of the exam. So, you won’t have to study for the breadth. If you already studied for the breadth, it may be worth taking it now, but if you’d like to focus only on structural, it’d be better to take it in or after April.

Thx for your response. I work for the DOT currently I am not sure if i will be able to get the updated codes. My dream is to become a SE but this is what i got for my first Job. I guess i have to change my job. Thanks again for your advice

Thanks Steve! Videos on the directional procedure (parts 1 & 2) are in the works

Thanks!
