hi everyone,
I am work in a design hotel prject, at Indochine ( Southern East Asia)
Owner is local investor, Hotel brand is internal (a famous hotel french brand)
In this project, there are 02 FLS consultants.( Fire life safety consultant)
1. Local consultant: review design base on local...
Hi everyone,
i am studying how to calculate wind load in ASCE 17,
For each risk category, we have MRI( mean recurrence interval/return period ) accordingly. and for each life building in year, we have the probability of exceeding wind load.
My question is: how to determine of safety...
hi @dik
As I mention above, put the joint same location at many floors is impossible, because architecture and zone is complicated in this hotel. and impact too a lot to exterio/interior
So, it's why in want to avoid expansion joint.
hi @JedClampett
I red above document already,
But it's kind of "general", i calculated , delta T = 11 degree celcius
And, i can not find answer my question " how to avoid expasion joint for this project"
Below is chart,which is calculated by me,result is 240feet is maximum distance, to set...
hi @dik
Total agree with you,
But,Because this project is difficult to put expansion joint make sense, one reason , this project is hotel so , aethetics is high requirement.
So, i itend avoid expansion joint and solve by post poured strip
hi @rapt
i understand you worry, I concern as you.
But, can you measure the internal force lengthening/shortening by temperature, we can add rebar to cover it.
If you know please share, thank
hi @dik,
Thank for your advice,
Intial design, i intend same as your intend,
But this project, at a location, function is not same. So if we put a joint is make sense for this story, but make un-sense for other story,
It's why, I need avoid expansion joint. because expansion joint will go...
Hi everyone,
i am designing structure for a hotel, 12 stories, 200m long. all is reinforce concrete
For normally, we need seperate 3 block by expansion joints, but it makes many difficult problem because architectural design is complicated, non-regular, if building have expansion joint, the...
Hi agent666 and robyengIT
Why does fcm in EN1992 is diffrent fcm in EN206? why does they not equivalent ?
Can you explain more to me about that.Unfortunately, i didn't study Eurocode at university.( my country: VietNam do not use Eurocode usually ).
Or you can introduce some book, which show...
Hi everyone, i have study to design concrete using EN1992 ( Eurocode 2).
I am confusing about fcm (Mean compressive strength of concrete)
1, Follow EN 1992m fcm = fck + 8 Mpa(table 3.1)
2, Folow EN206-2000( Conformity testing for concrete). fck > = fck +4 Mpa ( table 14)
So which is exactly...
Hi everyone, i have just study eurocode 8 to calculate seismic for building.
One of important conditions is normalised axial force vd =< 0.65. - EC8 section 5.4.3.2.1
where : vd = N / fcd.
fcd = fck / γC. ( EC2 - section 2.4.2.4)
I have question about γC , because γC has two...
