Produce a good preliminary key, with preliminary beam sizing and fairly firm structural system and beam naming. Beam naming should be treated like Identity Card number, cannot be changed but can be omitted.
Produce an A3 size for […]

Staircase
The loading from the staircase landing stiffer/column is always missed out. Need to study the architectural drawings properly. The mid-landing always have mid landing beam supported by column stiffeners, which sit on beam at floor below. […]

Staircase is a confusing to most fresh engineers. The staircase drawings is done after the design. Always, the point load from the column/stiffener supporting the mid landing is not design for in the beam or column. It is even more complicated when due to higher floor height, […]
