Hello,
Yes, I found this helpful, but found it frustrating that I believe he made the same error that Kaplan made on one question. (And I was hoping he would prove them wrong.)
On the question about how much load will be on a first floor column in a 7 story building, I think Dilipi and Kaplan get it wrong. There are 6 floors, not 7 above the first floor column in a 7 story building. Dilipi started drawing a sketch of a 7 story building, but he stopped short of drawing it accurately to count that the 1st floor column supports 6 floors. Correct? Does anyone else agree?
The load per floor should be multiplied by 6, not 7.
thanks!
