I already found this thread... I feel like I am right now and the wheel load must be considered in two points only in worst case scenario.

Hi.
My customer wants to transport a very heavy machine part inside an old factory using rectangular frame that has caster wheels under all four corners and probably in the middle as well. Machine part weight 300 kN. It is an old factory so that floors are not completely level. The question is...
Dik, the reason we are using upward kicker is the waterbar. It is impossible to put lower because it interferes tension steel in base slab. So if pvc waterbar is used, the key is upward. Whether is a partial or a full width, it depends on opinion. Some old engineer in my company told that...
Jed Clampett, I am sure that 1000mm wide waterstop would affect shear strength in 500mm wall because it goes through the inclined compressible strut. There is some limit how wide plastic strip we can assemble. Okay i understand that half he width of the section should be fine.
Maybe we need...
JAE Your problem seems to be "serveability issue" not ultimate capacity issue, if those cracks were small and can be injected. In my country it is quite typical to make partial kickers and i have never heard of any problems.
I am trying to find out that:
1. Does the empty hole caused by...
Hi all.
As we know, pvc-p waterstops are good for watertightness. So we use them constantly with partial kickers so that the waterstop can be assembled. The problem is, PVC-P has a really much lower E than concrete. What really happens when adding the pcv-p inside concrete? It will create a...
I am designing a composite steel decking consisting of secondary beams with heavy point loads, 150kN, primary beams and steel columns. Beams are tubular box sections, having shear studs for composite action. I have connected secondary beams to primary with fin plate connection. Primary beams are...
