Hi friends,

The Engineering Mechanics series is out now!

Engineering Mechanics is one of the first things you learn in uni.

For good reason. It's the foundation of structural engineering.

But there's a problem: University teachers often don't show students where in structural engineering these principles are used.

For example, I was never shown in all these mechanics courses that a simply supported beam can be a pedestrian bridge or that a frame is used for many 10m span reinforced concrete bridges and warehouses. I first understood how important engineering mechanics principles are in my first design classes (reinforced concrete, timber and steel course) which was in my 5th semester.

That's exactly what I show and teach in the Engineering Mechanics series.

Below, you'll find a list of all 17 episodes.

You can access all episodes of the Engineering Mechanics series and the Reinforced Concrete series through the Structural Basics membership (click here to open). Additionally, you'll get 30% off Loads on Residential Buildings and all future products.
