I would like to get your guidance about selection of my project that would help me in future also. Will you please help me related to this query?hoping to be favoured. hi i cam accross your web through google serch. i am a final year student of civil engineering in B.tech from india,pune. i have been applied project in final year of structure engineering.

I would like to echo most of the other comments and congratulate you on your excellent web design and content. Can you advise me whether it is accpetable to continue to use CP3 for wind loading design or is one obliged to use the much later BS 6399 loadings for buildings : Code of practice for wind loads. on a general note what is the general parctice for cessation of use of BS codes when they have been updated or superceded by ISEN codes Colin

Thought you might consider this for the next version. Thanks for providing the plugin! It works like a charm! Cheers!

I find your site very interesting, since I have recently myself started compiling useful information related to structural engineering. I already have a database of structural engineering software with 400+ programs and currently I am working on creating the initial hierarchy and a structure of topics for structural wiki, whose ultimate goal is to provide easily accessible information to students and practising engineers. The wiki currently has 5000+ entries and it was inspired by similar reference sites that exist for other topics, such as for MathWorld ( http://mathworld.wolfram.com ) for mathematics. Both of my projects are located at http://www.bridgeart.net I was wondering if I could link directly to you lecture notes from individual structural wiki pages dealing with the same topic as is the topic of the notes. If so, it would be nice if the location (URL) of your lecture notes remains permanent and will not change in the future, thus preventing dead links. Please feel free to contact me using the email address provided below. Thank you, Ondrej info (at) bridgeart [dot] net Dear Colin,

I've scoured the net and they're the best I've found. Many senior engineers are reluctant to delegate, so many young engineers don't get the experience, and subsequently fail the IStructE exam. Considering some of the questions aren't typical of the real world anyway- very long spans, unusual site conditions etc, makes it even harder. Where would I get some sample solutions, without taking the preparation course? Just to use as a template for my own trial attempts. Many thanks Nnnninja101@yahoo.com Colin,

Very simple and easy to read. I wonder if you can help with my query below? I am currently preparing for IstructE exams in 2009 and I am collecting information, shortcut analyses and tables for building structures steel and concrete. I have managed to collect a lot off materials for the analysis and design. I couldn’t find guides for the preliminary analysis and design /short cuts for portal frame buildings with cranes as well as highbay frame buildings such as aircrafts hangers. Please advise! Your Help is appreciated Many Thanks Thab Colin,

You can look at the css file to see how it's done, but it's probably not very clear! Hi Iain,
