But do you agree that taking column loads from uncracked model is not correct?
I’ve heard of instances where this has lead to under design of certain columns and foundations.
P.S. can anyone suggest some literature on the subject aside ACI concrete manual?
Hello!
How do I get correct axial loads for RC column design from a flat slab (irregular column layout) FEA model? I've come to a conclusion that for the design of the slab itself, in ULS (Ultimate Limit State - EC), it's acceptable to get slab internal forces using uncracked slab stiffness...
I would be more concerned about the axial load (buckling). It is definitely unstable around the weak axis, maybe even around strong axis. Oh, and I hope you have a sufficient tie at +4.000 level.
Regarding material length - specify it as a glulam beam or finger jointed timber beam which will get...
Let's say we are installing HC slabs to be supported by prestressed concrete beams. Let's also assume that supporting beams have camber (upward curvature) due to prestress even after they are in place. How to install slabs on surface (beams) that is not level? Is it resolved by shims, varying...
You can try and find a book called "Reinforced Concrete Design: to Eurocode 2" by W.H. Mosley. This book features a pile cap design example using strut and tie method.
Also you can google "eurocode 2 examples".
Hello!
What are the main design stages used in your country for structural engineering? For example in the UK, according to RIBA Plan of Work, there are 3 main design stages:
* Concept Design
* Developed Design
* Technical Design
Which standard or a guide is used to determine how much...
