SAFE is one of CSI software and it is specialized in designing footings and slabs. I found the option in version 12 to remove tension stress in soil support ( in the attached).
but still, if I calculate the center of soil stress it won't coincide with the eccentricity of external applied force...
Hi everyone:
during my design of a foundation with high eccentricity ( eccentricity out of middle third ). I tried to calculate soil pressure manually and then by SAFE software. But I couldn't justify the large difference in soil stress results. I have attached a PDF file showing the two...
I believe that they should not be designed to any vehicular impact load as they are not an essential part of the road. similar to noise walls, they themselves are not required to resist vehicular impact load unless they serve as traffic barrier or if they are attached to it. It makes sense to...
appreciate your prompt response.
the walls I'm designing are separating each housing unit within a large housing area ( 6000 villas). I'm just wondering if there is any provision in any official code forcing me to design these walls and their footings to vehicular impact in absence of any...
hi everybody
I'm designing a boundary walls in a residential area. I can't find anything in ASCE-7 or AASHTO directing me to design them to withstand vehicular impact.
can anyone guide me to find exact wording tells me that they are exempted from resisting vehicular impact?
