Thor, I didn't say I understood what the fuck I just typed, but in the company I was with last night, and after 3 black and tans, you could have landed a plane on the part in their hair after it flew over the top.

I totally got what he said.

I rule!

Also, Thor, we've gone up to 30% flyash now. Huge money savings for the Kiss! Yes!

I'm down with the bust.

Not too far down...

The parking levels were cast in place, but I'm thinking the upper levels will be post-tensioned.

Why..is it a bridge?

Bridges would be prestressed, not post. That would be bad, very bad.

I busted out a digital micrometer for effect.


I hated being an engineer in the Navy. Hated it.

The navy has trains

Only on the bird baths I pour on the side.

Post-tensioning makes the floors thinner, which means you can sneak an extra floor in under the height restrictions.

 

[chillywilly2]

A confusion in terms here I think

omg

Post tension, I know I was just giving you crap.

And to answer your slag question I only use Type I/II in my precast and Type III in our prestressed products.

A cock length contest?

"How do people define engineers? "The term "engineer" is used as a catchall, but it doesn't convey the broad list of tasks and fields we must cover to solve that problem," writes TJ McDermott, senior project engineer at Systems Interface. "We're the multi-talented, multi-skilled tool used to solve problems -- society's Swiss Army knife.""

This explains so much. Also explains why I'd never want to add that PE to my name.

My sister is a civil engineer. She used to go crazy at how the title 'engineer' was included with those who do not have a degree in engineering. I think it was more about how she would be lead on a project and in essence not given the respect due on a site.

eh, whatever.
