Thank you for the information. I knew I saw it somewhere, and I guess simple was just too simple. :)
Yes, the structure has a few odd angles, so I planned on doing a lot with beams as needed, but it triggered me looking for that skew limitation of joist.
Well, I am tapping out on my search. I could have sworn I was provided/seen/read/dreamt a diagram that gave the maximum skew allowed for an open web steel joist to bear on a beam. For example, once it is off more than 30 degrees, they suggest adding girder-type members to ensure your skew is...
It is a long ribbon window, with anticipated stub columns, so I am looking at the bottom CMU being cantilevered with steel stubs. I have made comments on the pending issues, but trying to vet all possibilities prior to moving into something that changes their aesthetics. Basically, this is the...
I think it is possible with plates, but just not seeing much of it documented, so curious if not that common and possible drawbacks. Soaps, are basically face shell members that you placed in wide-flange beams to make it 'appear' as CMU (doesn't match perfectly). Something like below.
I am looking for some references for a CMU lintel bearing on steel columns. The client 'prefers' not to do a steel beam with soaps, so looking for references on this type of construction. I think embed would be fine, but I don't want to inset, so may need to be a long embed to be uniform...
WE have a project with very sensitive slab, which we can't have saw-cuts, etc. We are trying to eliminate any joints in the area. Without placing the slab after tilt-up erection has anyone else achieved construction of tilt-up without using the pour strip. Thanks in advance for any...
Does anyone know where to find licensing requirements for Latin America, in particular Ecuador? I am licensed in several states, but not able to find where the requirement is for this type of license. I've done a few searches, both Google and Ecuador, but primarily just finding places that...
