Website Creation - Part 1

While this website will mostly focus on items in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) field, I figured I could start with posting about how I made this website.

This website was created with the Django framework (a term I just learned throughout this process). It seems to be popular among those in the python community and I learned about it from being a part of the local python club here in Utah. 

I started on this project on July 1st of 2021, the day my wife started up her night float rotation in the hospital. She works crazy hours during this rotation and I figured now would be the best time to start to learn web development.  I had (2) months to do the heavy lifting before the wife returned home. The heavy lifting of the project was completed today, August 23rd; a 54 day project. I would estimate that I spent ~ 2 hours a night working on this website bringing my total time to build this website to around 100 hours. 

In retrospect, I wish I would have gone with a preconfigured blog website like wordpress or wix; but I learned a ton thorough this process. Terms like "sudo," "nano," and "linux" "databases" all mean something to me now. I know the basics of how to configure a linux machine; how to setup website domains etc.

The process has been fun. Stay tuned! (I clearly need to add a spell check to my text editor as well; it is kind of ugly how many misspelled words I see)

  • retug on Transfer Diaphragm Design -

    @316Jq, The way I understand, the diaphragm design force (inertia force) per 12.10.1.1 is the inertia force.

    Using the blog example numbers let's say this is 1392 kips.

    The transfer diaphragm force could be estimated to be the delta in shears above and below the transfer level ~ (1500 -  …

  • 316Jq on Transfer Diaphragm Design -

    Just wonder how do you separate inertia force and the transfer force? The inertia force might be controlled by the Fpx,min per ASCE12.10-2,  while the transfer force might need to be multiplied by rho or omega. This is also briefly discussed in NHERP design guidance you used. 

  • retug on Section Cutter - ETABs Plugin -

    Hi Rodrigio, thanks for reaching out.

    My email is retug.austin@gmail.com, feel free to shoot me an email.

    The section cutter tool needs a bit of updating to work with the newer version of ETABs, but happy to discuss what you might have in mind for the add-in.

    Thanks
