    How to design a concrete collar between existing and new concrete pipe

    I'm trying to find information on how to design a concrete collar. This collar will be used to connect an existing concrete box culvert with approximate dimensions of 5'x5' to a new concrete pipe which will have an inside diameter of 48" and outside diameter of 4"-10". My design now calls for...

    ACI 318-08 Appendix D

    My current design requires using appendix D in the ACI 318 code. I'm having problems with the units in equation D-7 and concrete pryout strength for anchors in shear. Am I missing something in this equation?

    Early 1900's Snow Loadings

    I'm currently evaluating an existing roof structure for a building in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I'm wondering what the snow loading on the buildings roof should be? The building in question was built in 1914.

    Construction Joints in Elevated Concrete and Metal Deck Floor Slab

    I'm in the process of designing a elevated composite concrete and metal deck floor slab for a warehouse. This slab will have rolling fork lift loads. The floor has been designed with two mats of steel, 7 1/2" total concrete thickness and 50 ksi steel beams with a single row of shear studs on...

    Question Concerning Existing Composite Floor Structure

    I'm currently working on an upgrade to an existing floor structure which has composite metal deck and steel beams with shear studs. The upgrade calls for the complete removal of the existing composite floor system down to the existing steel beams, and then replacing with a new composite floor...

    Adding new studs to existing composite steel beams.

    I'm currently working on an existing composite concrete and metal deck floor structure which is supported by steel beams with headed studs welded to the beams top flange. My client wants to increase the loading capacity of the floor. In order to increase the capacity, my analysis program...

    Proper Impact Factor for Composite Floor

    I'm planning on using a 3" x 18GA. metal deck with 8" total slab thickness for the slab. The slab has #5 bars spaced 12" O.C. top and bottom, and these bars run in the same direction as the metal deck. Also I have #4 bars spaced 12" O.C. for the transverse steel.

    Proper Impact Factor for Composite Floor

    I'm only using the metal deck as a form. I contacted a metal deck supplier and they recommended using the SDI Composite Deck Design Handbook (1997). This manual has a forktruck loading example in it....that's what I've based my design on.

    Proper Impact Factor for Composite Floor

    I'm currently designing an elevated composite concrete slab with metal deck floor system. The composite slab is supported with composite steel beams and columns. The floor system is accessed using a ramp from an existing floor. I've been told that the proper impact factor for the overall...
