Publishing School Project Report?

In summary, the conversation discussed a project assigned in class about the analysis of loads, load paths, and deflection calculations of a girder in actual plans. The report is divided into two sections, with the first discussing theory and the second presenting calculations. The individual is wondering if this report could be considered "publishable" material and if so, which website they could publish it to. They also mentioned that the report is not research, but is proud of it and believes it could be a good showcase of their structural analysis skills. A suggestion was made to host the report on a website and include a link on their resume or cover letter for potential employers to view. However, it was noted that this may not be considered publishable material in

In class, we were assigned a project about analysis of a loads, load paths and calculations of deflection of a girder in actual plans.

My report ( a total of 50 pages) is divided into two sections : the first talking about some theory and the second presenting calculations.

Do you think this is "publishable" material, if yes which website can I publish it to?

My report is not research - but I am proud of it and I think it will be a good showcase of my structural analysis skills and something to add to my resume.

Thanks!

You could get a website, host the paper there, and put a link on your resume or cover letter to the analysis as a sample of your work for future employers to view. I'm not an engineer, but that's not something that would be considered publishable in physics (especially not at that length).
