Consider, for example, what happens when you stop doing the following 10 things: 1. Blaming. People make mistakes. So you blame them for your problems. But you're also to blame. Taking responsibility when things go wrong instead of blaming others isn't masochistic, it's empowering--because then you focus on doing things better or smarter next time.

And when you get better or smarter, you also get happier. 2. No one likes you for your clothes, your car, your possessions, your title, or your accomplishments. Sure, superficially they might seem to, but superficial is also insubstantial, and a relationship that is not based on substance is not a real relationship. Genuine relationships make you happier, and you'll only form genuine relationships when you stop trying to impress and start trying to just be yourself. 3. 4. Interrupting isn't just rude.

In an on-going commitment to improving the safety of individuals working offshore, a significant number of Offshore Companies have adopted the OPITO MIST - Minimum Industry Safety Training certification as their own minimum safety standard. It has fast established itself as mandatory for many individuals planning to work, or currently working in the UK offshore Oil, Gas and Renewable Energy industry. The OPITO MIST Training certification is now required by all individuals carrying out work offshore for any of the offshore companies that have adopted OPITO MIST as part of their minimum safety requirement, including: - Direct employees of the Offshore Company.- Employees of Offshore Contractors supplying offshore workers to the Offshore Company.- Self-employed sub-contractors of Offshore Companies and Offshore Contractors.

Here at ENG-CAD, we've seen an increase in the number of job applicants that ALREADY have OPITO MIST Certification and S-Cape Training Certification. Online Structural Engineering Library.

According to ACI 318 15.4 at any section external moment is calculated by assuming a plane that passes through the footing vertically and moments are determined by using the forces over area of foundation on desired side of above vertical plane. Considering a plane, moment for maximum factored load of an isolated foundation can be determined-now question is where the vertical plane should be assumed.

The section where vertical plane have to place is called critical section. ACI 318 15.4.2 defines the location of critical section of isolated foundation by: a. In case of foundation supporting wall, pedestal or column of concrete-on face of wall, pedestal or column.b. In case foundation that supports masonry wall-on halfway between edge of wall and its middle.c. In case of foundation that supports a column having steel base plate-on halfway between edge of steel plate and face of column.

Downloads - DesignToEurocodes.com. DesignToEurocodes.com - Simplified curtailment rules for slabs. In small to medium design projects there is no need to design the curtailment of bars in slabs using rigorous and time-consuming approaches.

In bibliography, there are numerous simplified rules to succeed curtailment, however the most reliable and accurate are these provided by the Concrete Centre's publication "How to design concrete structures using Eurocode 2". I tried to summarize these rules in the following figure! L: Effective Length lbd: Design Anchorage Length This simplified method is valid if the slab is subjected only to distributed loads, qk<=1.25gk and qk<=5kN/m2, where qk amd gk are the characteristic values of the variable and permanent distributed loads respectively.
