I am designing a slab for cinema, and at this moment I have no idea what is the weight of carpet for cinema. Is there anyone here who can give me a link to the weight of heavy (worst case scenario) carpet? I want to use the heaviest weight available. Thank you.

I am using the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP 2010).

I am referring to our local code, but this is also based on the latest edition of the American code counterparts.

A Low-Rise Building is defined as enclosed or partially enclosed building that comply with the following conditions: 1. Mean roof height h less than or equal to 18m. 2. Mean roof height h does not exceed least horizontal dimension. Whereas, High-Rise Building may be considered as flexible, or...

Hi tempeng, For the Span/180 limit, does it consider the effect of both dead and live loads? or just for the live load only? Thank you.

What do you typically use for cantilever?

I have attached a table showing a list of allowable deflections in beam. I'm just wondering if these are applicable for any type of support condition (i.e. simply supported, fixed-end, cantilever...

TXStructural, I'm referring to a column here.

Hi hokie66, We cannot compare "bundled" with "continuous" as you've said the two are different things. What I mean with "It is assumed that the bars with lap splices are continuous bars." is that at section A (as previously shown) there are 10 bars which have lap splices, and counting the bars...

I have an example here, please refer to detail shown. At section A, the column requires 20-28∅ bars, 10 of those were lap spliced. As per ductility requirement, area of reinforcement over gross concrete area should not exceed 6%. Is it correct that at this section: ratio =...

Is there a proof that the concrete will identify whether the longitudinal bars are bundled or lap spliced only? I encounter this mostly when detailing columns and walls. How about if the length of splice exceeds what is required, is this considered bundled?

Hi BowlingDanish, I don't think area of reinforcement will affect the width, it's not a factor on the given formula.

Hi RPMG, I stand corrected, what I mean on the American Standard is that our code was adopted from international codes and references, and that includes some of American code counterparts. Please refer to photo below (taken from our structural code).

I think the formula is more appropriate to use than to assume a one-meter strip and then distribute there the longitudinal bars. Thank you @Trenno.. [smile][thumbsup]

Thank you. This will help a lot. I noticed that this is based on Aus. Standards, if I use this method will there be any conflicts when I use different code? Please clarify if the value 2.4 on the formula a constant or varies depending on the code I used? Our code is based on American Standards...

I will be designing a one-way slab with 3m by 7m spans. The slab will carry point loads due to the reaction from a machine with 0.6m by 2.5m area. How will I distribute these loads over the span? I am confused whether the weight of the machine should be distributed over the entire span or should...
