Engineering Ethics- Developing a Fee Proposal

Posted on 9 January 202311 January 2023 by Omotoriogun Victor

A fee proposal is an engineer’s ‘offer’ to undertake a predefined work for a defined fee and it is usually for the client to either accept or reject this offer. To give legal certainty to the offer, the following six items need to be defined in the proposal or an attached document.

<strong>Temporary Works and the Structural Engineer</strong>

Design of Stringer Beam in Staircases to EC 2 | Worked Example

Posted on 5 December 20224 December 2022 by Omotoriogun Victor

A Stringer beam is a structural member that supports a floor or a deck along its longitudinal direction. They are usually inclined secondary beams stemming from primary beams and their basic function is to convert distributed loadings from a slab into point loads which is transferred back to the primary beams or supports.
