I am a university student from the Philippines and have an undergraduate thesis related to the infiltration rate. I am struggling to find suppliers or sellers that sells a relatively affordable instruments (specifically mini disk or turf tec infiltrometer).Some of the products came from US and...
Hello, so we are designing for a 2-story house on which we are only going to analyze 1 frame. I am going to use MDM for the structural analysis. I have some questions to ask.
1. Is my roof level symmetrical in terms of its loadings and lengths? I am pretty confused since I thought it was...
Hello, I am a 3rd-year CE student from the Philippines, we have a 2-story house term project and I want to know what could be the dead load allowances for MEPFS (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire, Sanitation). Our Structural Code does not provide this information. Thank you and Godbless1
I think I can picture the building now. Also for the plastic design, sorry to say but this is a bit advanced for me, however, if I will be taking steel design for the next semester and learn it someday (I would like to have a full grasp), I hope I could make another discussion with you someday...
I made a rough sketch of your building. If I am understanding it correctly, the red lines are the 50 mm gap between these 5 structurally independent buildings,and this is where the expansion joints were secured properly.
I also checked out the plastic design, and I think that is on our Steel...
First,I really wanted to thank you for lending me your help through this forum.
It took me a while before I could reply to this thread, I am honestly not confident of my understanding of some of the concepts. I have to make sure that I could get the gist of it, so I emailed this discussion...
I have this floorplan of my classmate (I was permitted to use for this discussion) which our professor corrected (the red pen) in terms of the proper position of the columns and addition of the beam. He told us for our own convenience, to position the column in a grid pattern and this is a...
When interconnecting these two independent structures, I was thinking that maybe a cantilever beam will do (i have no basis since it is still difficult to find it) or do they have a different approach on this (perhaps, maybe some type of device that interconnects the two structures while...
Hi, I am currently a third-year Civil Engineering Student from the Philippines.
Our professor gave us a project where we lay out our own 2-storey house floorplans and beam and column, and do a structural analysis on it. My professor challenge me to find out how independent structures of one...
