Steel
the remarkable strength of the steel, make it an excellent building material. but it is true the following thing; its strength is also its Achilles heel, that is: for this its great strength, to resist large solicitations, requires small sections, and this fact creates the appearance of phenomena of instability in flexural, with the appearance of compressive forces. To this we must pay special attention when designing membering truss. Typical of the steel elements.
one day my boss said to me, "we have to build a warehouse, for steelworkers and metal carpentry" and I said, give me a few days time, that I would have presented a serious project, which would have judged by himself.
from the next day, in the morning, at 7 am, at the opening of the construction site. I gave instructions and disposal to the teams of carpenters, masons and steelworkers. expeditious all that was necessary because everyone knew what to do, and begin the workday.
We was building the entire yard. after nine I had a couple of hours to devote to my studies, I locked myself in the office, I opened my books and my computer with a CAD and spreadsheets, I developed the project. After lunch again after following the needs of my workers and job, again I devoted two hours to my purpose.
after two weeks, following this rhythm, I presented the project to my boss who approved it, and I oversaw the construction of this shed, following step by step my calculations. The result left me fully satisfied.
I believe that professionalism and ethics, are the basis of everything in life. that is, as a doctor, should be available 24 hours a day, for love, of the lives of his patients, as well an engineer should be able to conceive solutions, safe, useful, functional, and that last.
