    Hi guys,

    Does anyone have any sample structural calculations, work ups or sketches?

    I'd really like to get to look at a few of these to give me a better flavour of apply theory to practical problems?

    Any help much appreciated.

    5 years in Bolton St will sort you out!! :D

    You need to get some scheme design books as it's highly unlikely that any engineer will simply hand out calculations/drawings..

    I'm doing Mechanical Eng. in college at the moment, and although the formulae/medtho may be slightly different to Structural Eng. any examples of loading/bending beams, etc. that we've done in Applied Mechanics so far, would be better explained by a book(as FesterBeatty said) because of the way it's taught.

    Much of the sample calculations that are done rely on theory learned in different modules, or in a previous semester, so showing anything relativly complicated and worthwile, will require explaining a large amount of background information.

    If you're in Dublin though, Bolton Street Library has a ton of books on all levels of this kind of stuff, and you can just walk in!
