This is interesting to meet civil engineers. in this industry it seems there is little opportunity for those without experience.

I see you as my colleague in this sector, please let pave ways for the up coming ones. I welcome practical questions on TL/SS projects.

Thanks eminemkayc for your contribution. When I said no moment transfer, I meant for the sake of manual analysis. Of course in reality except for roller supports, nearly all supports transfer some amount of momemt. One important thing is construction experience added to your detailing experience would make you a good designer. When I said construction experience I mean construction experience acquired by doing and not by reading. They are different. Same applies to detailing.

Meanwhile, I can see you are a research fellow in the oil and gas environment, what is your area of research, it may be of interest to me and some other people in this forum

Thanks. My brother, my area of research is practically undefined just like the Lim ((x^2 - 4)/(x-2)) as x approaches 2 .Well basically,I'm deeply into advanced mathematical analysis and DEEP research, iv worked on membrane and plate theories for highly indeterminate structural elements and developed programs on mathematical derivatives on thin plates nd shells, worked on Navier's solution to the fourth order governing equation as a solution to the true distortion of plates under uniformly distributed loads and now into buckling analysis of offshore submerged structural steel members. Working from proofs of Euler's fundamental buckling theories of different end conditions for slender elements to the actual stress behavior of these deep water members under axial load. i hv also worked, and consult on major engineering design projects for the IOCs, which involves in place, lifting and jacket stability analysis under extreme conditions in addition to production of 3D sacs/staad analytic models. . . These things are quite tedious and take a chunk of my tym, but science, i tell you is interesting and has drawn me closer to my CREATOR i must admit!!

please i do not have the  EUROCODE yet, can you give me a copy of it my e.mail is amakaeje@yahoo.com

Please i need your individual advise on which of this 2 civil engineering aspect to choose from (Highway OR Structural Engineering)

Tayo-D :

Where exactly are you located? I have often wondered if we have competent engineers in Naija that are capable of designing overhead transmission lines. Are you more into the design aspect or construction? I tried to hook up with some local companies a while back who were more into the construction and not the design aspect of the job. We were planning on consolidating our skill sets as a fully indegenous one-stop shop for transmission line design and build. For one reason or another, the whole thing came apart

@Tayo-D
Thanks alot, i really appreciate you advise.

I will like to discuss with you on ways we can take position in order to play in the expected deregulated power generation and distribution market,I pray the president delivers on that pledge so another massive vista of opportunities will be unleashed
