Wall above is gyp shear wall. It will likely be first to show signs of cracking.
70%, I don't know if too conservative. Most engineers would likely take the depth of slab from top of flutes (3 1/2), and spread the load at a 45 degree from edge of wall to edge of wall and check slab. If no good...
How do you quote when replying? I see the option on my phone but it never posts on my phone. So only can post on a computer.
He's saying 1'-9" offset is "close enough". Bearing wall runs parallel to main beam, 1'-9 offset center to center.
They are wood walls, sheetrock. It's going to deliver the load direct to that slab.
I didn't run any calcs at first, just mentioned was a bad idea to leave out the steel.
Let's say we take that load, spread it over 3', include first floor loading, make an assumption the inner 1.5' sees 70% of...
How much? I'm going on recollection but allowable M was around 50k-in (LRFD). Dead load just as one way slab was about 70k-in (likely low on dead load also, I used 20 but each floor has gyp 1 1/2). Put in the live load between 3 and 4 times over allowable (actually with LRFD and 1.6 factor, make...
XR250,
I assume some distribution as well and 2 way action. But I think what's going to happen is 1/4" cracks at all beams and then a plethora of spider cracking in that area. Over time I think creep will set in and there will be very unhappy condo owners.
The EOR says it's fine, I say it's...

I'm fairly certain some people can chime in. The only spec. I forget was 6x6 W2.1 mesh called out. Yes... the calculation of bending was done for various loadings (just dead, dead and a little live, etc.) and all bypass any composite deck span table... by a lot.
Was wondering your thoughts on what these numbers with the attached layout would physically do to the structural slab? It's residential loading on that level with a bearing wall above.
Slab is 5" with composite deck, 1 1/2", 20 ga, headed studs exist on beams at about 12" o.c.
Loads from...
NDS is the standards for nailing. I'm sure it wouldn't be in compliance. Cutting out the buckle and welding back together is a fix but no framers carry welding units. How about just sending nails through the buckle and try to flatten it out?
I think it would be ok to renail it. Tell them to fill existing holes with wood filler. What's the cause? Plate shrinkage, if so, how long did it take to bow?
Go to any job site with transfer level and four floors of wood above. You will see masonry elevator shaft walls 40' high well before floors are framed. One reason being they are well rated for fire.
30 kips upflift, gotta have like 3 kips or so per foot going through a plywood shearwall. How...
I am replacing those columns. The problem is other similar columns are going to be exposed by gc and I want to show, through numbers, it's a very bad idea.
Here's a good visual. It shows a good way to connect with rebar with your current situation and also shows the plank bearing pads which is used to help distribute the load.
