Home Extension Structural Design - Part 1 - Load Takedown

This video is the first part of a mini series that I am starting on how I design a side house extension. This first part will take you through a load takedown from the roof all the way to the ground.

Useful video for those learning, it may be prudent to demonstrate how you came to the loads that you applied as dead and live and where they are derived. Others may assume those loads can be used for any structure without consideration to their origin.

Great video! Really good to see your approach and thought process. I wasn't aware that a transfer beam have different deflection limits... how much would that be, and would it be "combined" with the beam inducing the load? Thanks for the great content!

Could you do a video that shows how to create a new load bearing floor in a typical residential house roof space

Another excellent video. Thanks Dazz...Would be great if you could do a goal-post design if one's removing the entire rear wall?

Man i really like how you work with concepts app! One little thing i might have missed, when did you multiply with 1.35G and 1.5Q. I usually do it at the very end so that i can have my SSL loads and ULS loads side by side.

Can you work on a video detailing how to design a small house from scratch? is column design important in small houses?

Dazz, great video - what software are you using for your sketches?

THANKS DAZZ
WE REQUEST YOU TO DO A VERY SIMPLY DESIGN OF YOUR OWN, SO WE CAN BETTER IDEA.

Hi Daz. I am new to your channel and enjoying the content. I am also a civil and structural engineer. Do you work for a large company in your day job and then do your own residential work on top of that?

What app are you using it looks quite nice.
