Thanks a lot to both of you for taking out the time to respond to my query! I'll let you know in case I manage to find something on the internet.

Hello Everyone, For a research project I need a copy of the following codes in English language: -AIJ Standard for Structural Design of Timber Structures -AIJ Recommendations for Loads on Buildings If someone could help me in getting those two codes ,it would be really appreciated. Kind...

Thank you both for responding to my question. So I am proceeding with taking foundation mass and stiffness into account and will ensure that the following are modelled correctly- (a) connection between foundation and pier (b) spring stiffness representing soil below and on sides of the foundation

Hello, I have a footbridge FE model with deck, pier and foundations. Would it be correct to consider the foundations in natural frequency simulations? Asking since it will have an effect on the system mass and stiffness.

Thanks all for your responses and sharing knowledge! @MultiVar: Will this be a steel-framed or concrete structure? Concrete You don't say how much "face" your proposed bldg. presents to the existing tower, and if parallel or angled, but 6 meters seems "tight", and could create significant...

Thanks a lot everyone for your responses! I have decided not to lower the wind load. See the attached extract from IS 875 Part 3. This includes a table and a figure and provides factors for interference effects. Since all factors > 1, this means the loads would increase as per this reference...

Hello, I need to calculate the wind load on a building height 32m that sits next to a 55 m building six meters away horizontally. What will be the effect of the taller building on the face of the shorter building that is towards the taller building? Is there any technical note or code reference...

Perfect, thanks once again for your response. I'll look into AASHTO and Eurocode for the information.

Thanks a lot for your input! Is there any reference document (book or code) that provides guidelines for selection and design of footbridge bearings?

Hello, I am doing the schematic design of 36 meter long steel and RCC composite footbridge with a central pier and end supports. The region is seismically active (PGA 0.4g) and maximum temperature change is about 36 deg C. I need advice on how to decide whether any type of bearings are required...
