Hi all,
I am designing a mat foundation on piles with dimensions approx (30 x 30 x 2.5 m) (100 x 100 x 8.2 ft). We decided to make a horizontal construction joint so the first pour is 1.5m (5 ft) thick and the second pour is the rest thickness. My question is; do I have to provide shrinkage...
Thanks for your reply, Lomarandil. Yes, exactly as you said and I looked for such detailing where the column gets larger in size but I couldn't find anything.
Hi guys,
Suppose there is a 9 columns (50x50cm) in a grid of 3x6m horizontal by 3x6m vertical. The building is 5 stories(obviously, these 9 columns are not the only columns in this building, but extracted only as an example here). The last upper slab (roof slab) is wanted to be ribbed slab...
Hello everyone,
We have a structure with a basement of 4m under the surface level. The raft is obviously at -4m. The situation is that we want to test a test pile from the ground surface not from -4m. How could I neglect the effect of the skin friction or any other effects arising from the 4m...
Hello dear engineers,
Can someone comment on what is written in ACI MNL 17(21) and also in the ACI SP-17(14) - Clause 6.9.1 regarding the direction of placing flexural outer reinforcement in two-way slabs. The clause says: "If the panel geometry is rectangular rather than square, the outer...
Hello all,
Can anyone please provide me with a reference or any information about using bolted splice plates for connecting two SHS (tube) steel columns? like the case with the I-sections. I found that SHS columns can be connected only using end plates or weld, but I couldn't find a reference...
Hi all,
Can someone tell me how to model a steel trussed- or a concrete PARAMETRIC roof (curved in the horizontal plane, NOT A DOME)? I am a structural engineer and need to model such roof having multiple curved control lines. I managed to model it using revit but it's not an analytical object...
