Shear key is a device used to transfer shear forces between two components in a structure.
Shear keys are typically used in construction joints to prevent sliding between adjacent components.
They are designed to resist horizontal forces and ensure stability of the structure.
Shear keys can be found in various structures such as bridges, buildings, and dams.
Examples of shear key materials include steel plates, dowel bars,
Columns are vertical structural members that support loads primarily in compression, while beams are horizontal structural members that support loads primarily in bending.
Columns support vertical loads primarily in compression
Beams support horizontal loads primarily in bending
Columns are typically taller than beams
Columns are usually more rigid than beams
Examples: In a building, columns support the weight of the floors

Sfd and bmd diagrams show the variation of shear force and bending moment along the length of a structural member.
SFD (Shear Force Diagram) shows the variation of shear force along the length of a beam or structural member.
BMD (Bending Moment Diagram) shows the variation of bending moment along the length of a beam or structural member.
SFD and BMD are essential for analyzing the internal forces and moments in a structu...

Dual case in finding R value in EQ refers to considering both the worst-case scenario and the best-case scenario.
Dual case involves analyzing the structure's response to both maximum and minimum loads.
It helps in determining the range of possible outcomes for the structure.
For example, in seismic design, dual case analysis considers both the maximum and minimum seismic forces that the structure may experience.
Base plate design involves determining the size, thickness, and material of the plate to support the structural load.
Consider the load requirements and dimensions of the column being supported
Calculate the required thickness and size of the base plate based on the load
Select a suitable material for the base plate, such as steel or concrete
Ensure proper anchorage and connection details for the base plate
A base plate connection is a structural element used to connect a steel column to a concrete foundation.
Base plate connections are typically used in steel structures to transfer loads from the column to the foundation.
The base plate is usually welded to the bottom of the column and anchored to the concrete foundation using anchor bolts.
The base plate connection design must consider factors such as load transfer, bendin...
The quantity for pile and pile cap is determined based on the design requirements and load calculations.
The quantity of piles is determined based on the structural load requirements and soil conditions.
The quantity of pile caps is determined based on the number of piles and the design of the structure.
Calculations for pile and pile cap quantities involve factors such as load distribution, material strength, and safety

Interview questions for Structural Engineer
For irregular shape, find volume and multiply by unit weight to get weight. Divide moment of each part by total weight to get COG.
To calculate force required for COG shift, use moment equation. Sum of moments about any point should be equal to zero.
For SFD and BMD, use equations of equilibrium and moment. Draw free body diagram to show all forces acting on the portal.

Dynamic and static analysis of structures and foundations is essential for ensuring their stability and safety.
Dynamic analysis involves studying the behavior of structures under dynamic loads such as earthquakes or wind.
Static analysis focuses on the response of structures to static loads like gravity or applied forces.
Both analyses help in determining the structural integrity, performance, and design optimization.
