I am so lucky to have found your videos..as a student i ve been struggling to imagine what the support looks like and how to choose one. Truly life saviour!

wao, these are exactly the details and explanations we miss in class, we never knew how pinned or fixed in real world and also we know the sign conventions, that's all, This gentleman is saving all the time of young engineers and is great help. must watch all of his videos, if you want to save time.

Dazz would you do a series on one of your projects from start to finish? From schemes to design solutions etc?

Thanks for this video. I eventually learnt this when building a floor frame and thinking none of these joist to bearer connections are true pins, nor fixed connections, they're just somewhere in between.
Going through university, I was a very visual learner and wish this information was made more clear to me at the time. We were mainly shown triangles as supports in simple beams and frames. Was very theoretical and I struggled to translate it to real life

We all love these connection videos haha

Love the content Dazz please continue these amazing work! Just a quick question, what are the top technical skills you believe a fresh graduate pursuing structural engineering must have?

I like your channel, you just got yourself a new subscriber

I think it would be very useful to make a video about how to consider the effective length of a beam in its design compared to the construction support detail. Say a ridge steel beam sat on padstone versus a steel beam supporting a 1st floor wall above. Or other examples. Good job. With the videos.

The fixed support diagram you showed. The first picture for concrete beam showed a u bar lapping from the column to the beam. I thought you said that was pinned at the start of the video. Can you clarify this. I enjoy your videos

Please offer approved calculations set for each structural member please

Would you explain what you mean by « moment » as opposed to « movement » for viewers who are not engineers?
