JAE: Yes, it is same graph because AISC took it from that Technical Report. (i found it from the reference list of AISC manual) so i believe this graph is quiet reliable. do you have any other opinion ? please share....

JAE: Thanks for your observation. i will look into The AISC manual. Teguci: as my building is framed reinforced concrete building so I suspect the 150 ft length will not require an expansion joint. But i will check the calculations of PCI Manual. DETstru: yes i have found that Appendix...

I am designing a School Building (R.C.C) Which is 150 ft Long and 38 Feet in width. do i need a expansion joint for the length of 150 feet of the structure?? can anyone give me any codal reference for that ???

Right now i am working in a construction firm as a in house design engineer. if i keep working in construction field then PMP might be helpful for getting a higher designation. on the other hand, if i move forward into design field then LEED might be helpful. and having some letters afetr name...

Hello Everyone, Currently i am working on 4-Storied School Building Project where a senior structural engineer is taking care of the structural issues. Last day he has sent me a drawing where i found the foundation is placed over ground on compacted sand. here the soil is stiff clay but he...

hokie66 you are right. it will be difficult to find out the actual pile capacity on a unsymmetrical situation. it can be even more than the consideration. so, it is better that that we try to stabilize the eccentric loading of column by the strap beam. thanks for your advice if anyone find...

i already have collected PMBOK 5th edition and PMP Exam PRep - Rita Mulcays Book .......... Right now i focusing on the process groups and knowledge area mapping. Later on i will dive into more details. If i get myself PMP certified, then would i be able the get jobs over Europe or other...

Thanks KootK for sharing your view. Do you have both PMP and LEED certification ???

Hello Everyone, I am civil engineer and willing to get a good professional accreditation which will be helpful for my professional growth. From recent trends in our profession i am observing two major accreditation are taking place, which are: 1. PMP Certification 2. LEED GA or LEED AP...

http://www.iitk.ac.in/nicee/wcee/article/WCEE2012_4902.pdf Go through the link......and read the paper Here, in the section 2.2 it is written that: "The flat plate structure is an undefined seismic resistance system in the design code. If it is demonstrated that the seismic performance of a...

The interesting thing is as the beam and slab is usually monolithically casted in R.C.C frame structure, it will definitely have some stiffness on the beam column joints and which shall not be completely avoided. bookowaski, the thing you describing is known as flat slab frames to me (which...

Hi Everyone, I would like to know about your opinion regarding consideration of a slab’s bending resistance (transverse bending stiffness) to the lateral load resistance of a column – beam rigid frame structure………… In the “Tall Building Structure” – Stafford smith, Alex Coull, it is suggested...

hokie66: thanks for your advise for a strap beam. I'm taking that as an potential option for balancing the moment due to eccentric loading. can you add anything more ? SlideRuleEra: that building wasn't designed by me so i don't have the soft copy of that drawing yet. but as soon i will get...

what do you mean by "rectifying beam" ?? would you please explain in more details ? shall i inter-connect the piles with beam ???

Hello Everyone, Last day i went to visit a site and found 2 piles of a 4 piles group has been shifted 1 ft away from drawing location. Now, how can i solve the problem to ensure all the piles will be active under column loading ??? if i need to design the pile cap according to as cast...
