During my mentorship, I've been starting to use more books
to help me calculate building elements. Most engineers can't remember every
scale or measurement for every single building element. There are too many
components for each type of building element for a single engineer to memorize.
These components can be weight, height, depth, thickness, dimensions, etc.
Recently, I've been studying more on a building element called Wide Flanges.
Wide Flanges help stabilize beams and also let the beams expand their limber
properties. To find the measurements to find the weight capacity of the beams,
I have to consider these wide flanges in the equation. This book (on the
bottom) helps not only give me the measurements for different sizes of Wide
Flanges, but also for all steel building elements.
