i am working for the installation/execution/construction of over head transmission lines. it is only good for those who can travel minimum 300 km/day, believe in long distance relationships and having only half of brain active. for consultancy, the issues are very technical and are very romantic to handle

Posting this thread to break the ice. Modelling domes is very easy in Etabs/SAP. All you need to do is to draw the curvature of the dome in elevation by a series of straight lines, but draw only the one half. Then using the apex at centre point, radially extrude the line say 24 times at 15 degree intervals (or 48 times at 7.5 deg intervals. This feature is under Edit> Extrude Lines to areas. You can further use this geometry for Finite Element Analaysis.

hello every one! i want you to post your present places of jobs especially seniors so that the fresh graduates can get and idea of where they can go for their resumes to be dropped. this will surely help them.

its a project of Bahria and its rite beside the famous Abdullah Shah Ghazi shrine in clifton

BMI specially TEKLA and REVIT

True, Its important to know if its equilbrium torsion or compatibility torsion. If you know that you can decide the level of risk you can take by not doing calculations.

I am grateful for the offer. Will let you know if I had any plans to move to Riyad! Many Thanks!

sir umar send me your cv..if you are interested to work in RIyadh!

Great to have you here rana..

SMRF has all its provisions listed in ACI chapter 21...this is very important to read all those provisions and its serious to deal with earthquake forces....you cannot ignore a factor as with other design procedures..You have to take the appropriate values from the code. You cannot use R factor of Ordinary or intermediate frame for special frame !

its always better to work and gain experience first for 3 years or so and earn too...after that go for msc!

I am here Rana Waseem...passed out from NUST , MCE in 2009...working currently in middle east, SAUDI ARABIA! Love structural engineering...own a personal blog too about structural engineering that is ranawaseem.com

so at last we have a forum where only engineering is not discussed and its open...good to c ..i just joined now..now see what i do here blast! jk!

thanks for this civil engineers community

I have worked for almost 2 years in commercial design in Islamabad and then came to canada to complete my masters in Structural Engineering. Masters is over

I will agree to this!

fracture mechanics, green construction.

Modularization (fabricating offsite and transporting structural members to site and erecting them) for complete structure is very limited in Pakistan.

Post Tensioned Slabs, use of carbon fiber polymers, dampers and base isolaters for seismic, some advanced non-destructive testing

Experience seldom helps in studies ...... vice vesra
