Well, that is big money. My husband is a civil engineer who went this route; I know at least 4 other structural engineers that went this way, multiple civil engineers that went this way, and I suspect there are engineers in virtually every industry - especially outside of computer engineering - who are making a lucrative living here. There are lots of rules for working out the depth and spacing of strip footings in a raft slab so it is very important to get them right.

Despite exorbitant costs, people pile into med schools at such a rate that most of those schools have acceptance rates in single percentages (at most one in ten applicants is offered admission in most schools). Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering in which structural engineers are trained to design the 'bones and muscles' that create the form and shape of man-made structures. industry and I see the structural engineers know and do so much more than the other civil engineering disciplines. ._3Im6OD67aKo33nql4FpSp_{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetBorderColor);border-radius:5px 5px 4px 4px;overflow:visible;word-wrap:break-word;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);padding:12px}.lnK0-OzG7nLFydTWuXGcY{font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:12px;text-transform:uppercase;padding-bottom:4px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-navIcon)} Raft slabs are designed by structural engineers experienced in residential construction.
