I've produced a #Jupyter notebook as an example design note for a reinforced concrete beam. How should I license it?

I'm inclined to choose the 3-Clause-BSD licence, as is done for the Jupyter system. I think disclaiming liability and warranty are important as it might be used for #StructuralEngineering by someone else. (The responsibility rightfully belongs with whoever uses the notebook, not with the original author.)

Is that a good choice? Would another licence be better?

I've posted a design note written in #Jupyter for a reinforced concrete beam on Codeberg at https://codeberg.org/mgregoire/Jupyter-Structural-Engineering .

Comments would be very welcome.

I've been doing most of my #StructuralEngineering with #Jupyter notebooks for the last few years. After a bit of polishing, this week I shared some of them with my colleagues. We'll see if the spark catches.

The combination of explicit formulae and the use of physical units in calculations is very helpful for quality control. Quality is essential to ensure public safety in engineering.

There are many tall, brick covered buildings in NYC that aren’t actually load bearing masonry in construction, but what gives them away is not so much the brickwork but many other things about the building, like the height and oddly enough, the design. It reminds me of how you can never judge a NYC person simply by what they’re wearing.

All this to say, I’m bummed 🤷🏼‍♀️. I worked with two practicing #engineers to make sure the proposal was accessible and relevant (I’m aware these days of how in the weeds I am in #software practices, as I’m about 80/20 software/#structural engineering).

However, every time I feel a twinge about leaving the #AEC #design industry, or someone asks me why I didn’t fight to stay in it, I’ve got yet another data point of that the industry isn’t buying what I’m selling. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #structuralengineering #aectech

#Structuralengineering conferences ask if your talk is already sponsored by an existing committee (and ask you to name the committee and the session!). They are not a blind submittal process. Your name and affiliation (and sometimes YoE) are visible to the review committee.

There are some fundamental differences between how conferences are run between #software and #structuralengineering. The software practitioner ones have a blind process, and ask potential speakers if it would be their first time presenting (to get a good mix of folks). Software practitioner conferences also often allow open voting on which presentations potential attendees wish to see.

In looking over the accepted conference presentations, they are overwhelmingly from industry leaders, related to the latest slew of code changes across materials and standards, or sponsored by existing #structuralengineering committees.

While yes, there are a number of conferences aimed at “digital” practitioners in #AEC #aectech, I still think something needs to be done to bring the rest of the #design professional world along, but it seems like they’ll only be dragged kicking and screaming.

Another view of a single year of the conference, with text occlusion to surface the node data (still working on prioritizing text for higher participation across panels/presentations/moderators)

I'm really channeling some #spitedrivendevelopment energy into this #sideproject where I got ahold of every single conference proceeding/panel/abstract going back nearly 20 years to investigate how often accepted authors work with one another 🤔 🧐 (I'm an outsider, neither a PhD nor an established practitioner and I don't have the *right* connections)

Finished and blogged about the Los Angeles soft-story retrofit map I built using entirely #opensource tools (including @maplibre, #protomaps, #planetiler)!

The ancient Romans were masters of engineering, constructing vast networks of roads, aqueducts, ports, and massive buildings, whose remains have survived for two millennia. Many of these structures were built with concrete: Rome’s famed Pantheon, which has the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome and was dedicated in A.D. 128, is still intact, and some ancient Roman aqueducts still deliver water to Rome today. https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106 #LimeCasts #Engineering #StructuralEngineering #Romans
