Dick, thanks for your response. I think perhaps I explained the situation in a confusing manner. I understand why the drainage stone is necessary regarding alleviation of hydrostatic pressure. What my question is actually about is the validity of including the drainage stone into the resisting...
Hell All,
I'm reviewing a set of gravity wall calculations for a segmental block retaining wall. Where the wall height begins to get around two feet, the designer seems to change methodology to incorporate the drainage stone behind the segmental block facing units. When analyzing sliding and...
I work for a MSE Wall supplier and am having trouble wrapping my head around why horizontal rebar is placed closest to the face of the concrete panel versus the vertical rebar. Some examples include Section B-B on sheet 7 and Detail 2 on sheet 2.
I would think that the compressive/tension...
MrBachelor,
I like your idea and am now going to attempt to implement it. Once question I have is if there is a way to automatically add a station/elevation label to the top of slope and toe of slope points in the cross-sections. I can do it manually to each one individually, but I don't see in...
Right. I basically took the 2D polyline and broke it into two parts. One part would be the top of slope and the second, the toe of slope. I then made those two parts alignments and then created a profile view. I believe C3D takes the alignments and projects it onto the surface in order to get...
I'm attempting to use C3D to generate profile views for reinforced slope structures. I have a surface representing the future grading and 2D polylines representing the slope outlines. How do you all typically obtain slope profiles? Do you create alignments based on either the top of slope or toe...
