Anybody have this book or the relevant extracts or similar code with examples?
A general question regards joining two different concrete. This refers to an existing slab with a new slab poured on top and making them composite. The pedestal will be subjected to shear and moment as it will be loaded with a surface mounted post.
Any help on the technique of joining...
Yes a handrail post would be a typical example. So I'm a bit unsure how to analyse this with respect to sufficient cover for the shear loading and moment resistance.
Have I posted this in the right section of the forum?
1) Looking for some help in the design of anchors for base plates. Could someone point out the best place to get design standards for this or even recommend a source of examples.
2) Also I have a design issue with the embedment of a steel pole say 50mm diameter buried in concrete. What is the...
