@NedGan 76 I'm not sure that's a correct analysis. The overall area of contact is now much less than if it was solid. Are you sure about...
So I'm basically asking what is supposed to be my "loaded perimeter"
The Problem: Using Micro Steel piles embedded in concrete cap.
I want to ensure that the (upward) reaction force that the piles would have won't puncture the concrete.
So that's a punching shear calculation. The only problem...
Ok so this is a bit of a n00b question but can someone direct me to a resource or book that explains clearly when to use certain structural systems?
I don't specialize in structures but I can analyze them and design them (following the codes isn't that hard)
What I often don't know is WHY I'm...
The earth on the landward side will constantly drain into the sea. The sea through wave and tidal action will constantly mobilize the sediment behind the filter stone
Hi there,
Another colleague is doing a road widening work on a coastal road.
