Everybody is different, but I've found that the GOOD guys, use their eyes and their brains. When it comes to things like that, nothing is better than experience and good old know how. Of course things change with buildings, from one family houses to office buildings... It will depend on the complaint made by the structures owner. A structural engineer has many tools at his disposal including his "eye", his experience, a hydro level, a laser level, a transit and a plumb bob. He will ask many questions to him self and the owner of the structure, such as, "when did you first notice...?", "what issues are you having with ...?", "how is the structure moving?" and "why is the structure moving?". A structural engineers solutions will be as varied as his questions; Is piering the solution?, is drainage the problem?, is there a problem? or does a crack need repaired?

Can possums do structural damage to a house like digging a hole in foundation?
Not likely. Possums use their claws for climbing trees and poles, not for digging.

Can you work in an engineering company if you finish in school as an architect?
Yes you may but not in the capacity of a structural designer. This is because of the fundamental difference between the training received by engineers and architects. An architect is trained to design the esthetics's, functionality, use, layout, etc of a building, whereas the engineer designs the structural components i.e. the foundations, columns, beams, etc. Additionally, to design the structural aspects of a building requires a professional engineer (PE) classification which is not offered to architects. In conclusion, if an architect was to work in a engineering firm he would be essentially be a draftsman unless its an architect & engineer (A&E) firm. This explanation could have been long and tedious but i hope this abbreviated version helped.

What weight can a hollow steel coloum 100x100x5mm hold?
The weight a hollow steel column can hold depends on various factors, such as the material properties of the steel, the length of the column, and the load conditions it will be subjected to. It is recommended to consult a structural engineer or use structural analysis software to determine the exact load-bearing capacity of the column.

How would you evaluate a site to determine the type of foundation to use?
In assessing a site with regard to the type of foundations that would be suitable, the following need to be considered: * the ground conditions (eg the subsoil bearing capacity, subsoil and surface water flows, subsoil stability) * the climate (eg frost heave issues, wind loads) * The contour of the site (eg. sloping, flat) * potential earthquake loads * site access for material delivery Other things that will affect the choice of foundation type are: * the load that the building will put on the foundations (eg structural loadings from frames, loads from use of the building) * cost * availability of materials
