Willing to answer all civil engineering-related questions through the undergraduate level. I will explain unclear concepts and suggest approaches to solving problems, but would prefer not to completely solve homework problems for you. If you are completely stumped on homework/assignment I will do my best to try and guide you in the right direction. Also willing to give advice on issues not related to study although related to civil engineering. | |

I can answer any questions to do with engineering consultancy and construction industry in East Africa and the Middle East, and specifically with the analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. My particular expertise is in the aseismic design and optimisation of tall buildings. |
Jambo Eick, This is not quite my area of expertise, but knowing the problems of urban cities in Kenya (esp Nairobi), I would suggest the following topics for your project: 1. Feasibility/benefits
Hi Jimmy, Yes, what you assume is correct- if the slab is quite stiff in relation to the beam, then it will not transfer a lot of load on to the beam. However, if you change the out-of-plane stiffness
Hi Muhammad, If you have access to the Atkins Stroogle website, you will see the full arguments there for and against fixed supports. For any building more than a few storeys high, it makes little difference
Hi William, I presume you enquire about a career in civil engineering? If so, the advantages are that you will learn a lot of different aspects of engineering and have great travel opportunities
Hi Civilian, These are stiffener plates either at the ends or along the lengths of I-beams, H-columns or C-channels, to make them stiffer against buckling. The spacing depends on the axial load as well
