Clif234 It's for a moment frame yes. For the details of construction I know little about, this design is only just practicing new designs. I will consider your opinions both, I think you are right maybe a waffle slab be better. Thanks

If I have a parking lot to design with hollow core slabs I have the dimensions in the attached file. If the panel is 12 X 12.6 m and I placed the direction of the hollow slab parallel to the 12 m span and supported at the 12.6 m span beam. should I design it as a one way or a two way ? I know...

sandman21, Do you have similar files for concrete buildings ? and thanks

Thanks everyone :D

What differs between a special moment resisting frame and an ordinary beam column joints is that the first must have rigid joints "beam column connection". My question is how to achieve that ? Does anyone can give all the requirements to achieve it ?

Hello, I'm designing a parking lot with prestressed hollow core slab and dropped beams. But before I want to choose the preliminary dimensions of the beams I want to know how will the slab connects to the beam ? Like it's rebars detailing. Plus should I make the beam width larger than the...

Racookpe1978 Haha I know I would get this type of answer. I'm in a university in the middle east, can't tell you which university it is. However I agree with you that I must self-study but I don't know what topics to read and study to overcome my problem And as JAE said some methods half of...

Hello there, Sorry my question seems dumb, however, in college (this summer ismy last semester to graduate) They taught us how to design concrete elements like slabs, beams, columns, walls ... etc And it's very easy because always the forces, moments, etc were given. I have never encountered a...

Hello, I've rented this apartment and hired some workers to put tiles on the ground and walls After 9-12 hours I returned to the apartment and saw black marks on the tiles on ground and notice that the tiles on the walls don't have black marks. I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask...

What does ASCE 7-10 Windspeeds (3-sec peak gust in mph*) mean ?

I have been doing it all wrong :p Wind rose values are measured 10 m above the ground. Thanks OHIOMatt

I got what you mean. Then I must design it for more thatn 61 Km/hr. This value is from Windfinder for Ataturk airport. this value has been obtained for forecasting from 2000 to this day. This isn't a real design I'm practicing on assigning wind loads to see the behavior of the building under...

I'm using ASCE 7-10 and the building is in Istanbul

I've read the wind rose in the city I want to design for, and I got the results of this; 61 km/hr 1 hr/year 50 km/hr 8 hr/year 38 km/hr 43 hr/year I got the average weight of these three values and I decided to design with 43 km/hr ( the average is 40.3 km/hr exactly ) Is it ok since the 61...

Thanks all appreciate it. @chicopee, it's fresh* if you don't know any books then just don't comment here.

Can someone recommends me books that are helpful for freeh site engineers ?

Thanks

The ASCE says it should be 4.79 KN/m2 however can this be reduced when the building is only a residential building with 2 apartments per storey ?

Hello Could someone tell me how to know the directions in ETABS ? like sometimes it says bending moment 1-1 or 1-2 or 3-3 But how to know which one to use or what is the meaning of each notation ?

Hi I'm modeling a symmetric building on ETABS for practice and I noticed that the higher the slab is the larger the deflection. I'm afraid that I have column shortening which results in cumulative deflections. What can I do to check what is wrong ?
