The Truth: Hand Calculations Vs FEA in Structural Engineering

The best way to load a motorcycle into your truck

@solved_science on Instagram: "Motorizing a wheelbarrow shifts most of the load from human muscles to mechanical power, using torque from a small engine or electric motor to handle weight, slope resistance, and continuous movement. This reduces strain on the spine, arms, and knees while improving speed and control on uneven surfaces. This modification is done to prevent long-term injuries, increase daily productivity, and allow one worker to move heavy materials safely without exhaustion. #const

Brent Fletcher on Instagram: "When a support post is sitting way off the footing and the builder says ‘it’s fine’… 😬 Structural loads don’t care about opinions — they care about proper alignment and load transfer. That offset means uneven stress, potential movement, and long-term issues. This is exactly why inspections matter. Don’t do that. #dontdothat #homeinspections #realestate #fyp"
