Would anyone know of a good referance for calculating the vibration on adjoinging buildings from Pilling (vibro compaction - stone replacement columns)?
thanks for that
it is not an opening, it is a damp proof membrane that runs under the floor slab and the architects wants to terminate it out side the building, it would be about 1.5mm thick so it will act as slip plane alone the full lenght of the wall
he wants to cut the bottom of the wall horizontally at floor level as you would in a block wall (his argument).
The wall is load bearing with precast floor slabs on the next two levels.
My prefered detail is for the radon barrier (DPM) to dress down the internal face of the wall.
This would...
An architect would like to put his radon barrier (DPM) through my RC wall. THey will seal around the bars with a bithutene.
I have not seen this before, but he said it is common.
IS he correct, the wall is all vertical no wind or moment loadings.
His argument is that it should be treated as a...
Hi

My assumption is that these are tension cracks on the line of the slab...
