Thank you IDS, are their special areas of application because we can as well design for shear forces without using the modified Compression Field Theory...So I would love to know
What is the application of modified compression field theory...I know it is used in designing for shear failures based on strains in beams but what are the useful application?
Thank you ACtrafficengr. I am actually starting from the scratch and trying to develop something in excel spreadsheet first then later Access. The reason why I don't want any available commercial package is because of easy customization. I was some very creative ideas which I want built into...
Thank you Rapt, KootK and IDS once again for your patience. You all gave me useful information and deduced so many things. KootK place what is the title of Jack Mohle's Book?
Thank you IDS. Yes my focus is on the analysis after yielding of reinforcement and for beams without compression reinforcement. The procedure you highlighted is not quite similar to the traditional approach. In the traditional approach, we assume the depth of the neutral axis which we then use...
I have a task of developing a Pavement Management System and have been asked to start developing the network of the roads (about 100 roads) to include Arterial, Major collectors and Minor Collectors. What do I need consider? How do I begin? Thanks for your anticipated response
Thank you IDS, your illustration is very helpful. It leads me to the next question, I am aware there are 2 methods used for moment-curvature analysis (Traditional approach and ACI method). Please do you any material that treats the traditional approach well? I am particularly having issues with...
IDS that's ok. I'm not asking you to write any textbook all i'm asking for is a simple illustration. Please if you don't have time its fine, let those who have time put their comments here. Thank you
Thank you Swivel and IDS. But I am still not very clear. Explain to me when you need to do such analysis with simple illustrations and something I can really relate with to grasp the concept. Thanks guys
