Work… work…

Here comes my supervisor Mr. Siva, assigned an analysis of roof truss that was provided by the achitect. This time around it is much challenging than before, it consists of few different segments.

By noon, Mr siva came to my room again to check on the progress of the analysis. At the same time, he reminded me that the representative from quantity surveyor firm wants the analysis as soon as possible. As soon as I realized the deadline was sooner than I thought. This time around I cannot afford to make any mistakes but to stay focus on the design. As a reason, mistakes requires correction and correction requires time. Due to insufficient experience in designing, correction is unavoidable. I have assigned a section of 76.0 x5.0 for top chord, however, it yields an error for plane flexural buckling and lateral torsional buckling. Therefore, larger section of 83.0 x 5.0 was required for the design.

I felt sense of accomplishment upon completing the design and analysis of roof truss.
