Sir, can any of your structural expert help me in detailed step by step calculations involving the analysis and design of;
– R.C. circular or rectangular water tanks (use any dimension as example and state any table i will need when i will do this on my own)
– R.C. design of box culvert
– Steel portal frame
– modelling of buildings in staadpro.
i will desire BS or eurocode for design. However, if thats not possible i can still work my way through other codes since i want to learn through this process.
Thanks
