SIR, surely this will give a very much clear picture of things and make concept very much clear....the problems which i faced today surely everone face those at their initial stages, but sometime we are lucky to get a good senior in our office to guide us in the right way , but you are not lucky evertym , sometym you just have to follow the usual practice that is going on in your office without getting proper concept behind those things, and if there is something new we got and stuck in that, our seniors just simply say " you are doing wrong" without explaining the main reason behind.... sir i appreciate your Idea and i wish more experience people join you in this cause ..............

Salaam All, Looking forward to develop a series of articles under the title of "SEFP Consistent Design". The aim is to provide simple and lucid examples for our Pakistani Engineers that use UBC 97; examples will serve as quick reference and try to clarify misconceptions prevalent in design offices. Anyone, who would like to volunteer on this is most welcome. As the name indicates, "consistent design" is meant to spread common understanding of complex code clauses that a design engineer faces on a day to day basis. e.g., calculating story stiffness, or designing a flexible diaphragm. Examples would be pure, and written by authors with copyrights to SEFP. Current target is to have at least 2 examples published per month. I hope this will help young engineering to develop a rock-solid understanding and design the right thing rather than saying yes to whatever they are told to follow.That's my goal. Any ideas, input, volunteering in appreciated. Thanks.
