I think the railing is connected to the side of the stair and then use a render over so it appears it's slotted in.

Yes, the stair in the picture is a timber cladding. Just wondering if anybody has done it in timber itself.

Good Morning, Does anyone have experience designing a folded stair in timber? Is it doable? See attached picture for reference http://st.houzz.com/simgs/6361cf11015f06ab_4-2130/modern-staircase.jpg Thanks in advance

Hi, I would appreciate if someone can help me understand the auto-lateral loads for earthquake that etabs generates. In the auto-lateral load, I input all the seismic coefficients and factors. For the direction of the load, can i select both X & Y? or do i have to create a different load...

Good morning guys, I have done a response spectrum analysis to a 16-story building and I got that my dynamic base shear is bigger than my static base shear. Since i don't need to scale up my dynamic base shear as per asce7 12.9.4, can i instead scale it down?? not to an 85% but to a 100%...

Hello, I'm doing the structural evaluation of a 3-story building that has in one direction only confined masonry. For earthquake loads the building doesn't comply with any requirement and we are adding concrete shear walls. During the evaluation I used an R factor of 3 but now that I have added...

thanks for help Bagman In addition to your comment, I sent an email to AISC regarding this issue and this is their comment: "The preferred material specification for shear stud connectors used for the interconnection of steel and concrete elements in composite construction is ASTM A29 provided...

Hi guys, I have a quick question regarding shear studs for composite beams, I have specified studs to comply with Astm A108 (fy=50ksi, fu=60 ksi). The contractor wants to use A307 or A325 for shear connector, I know that A325 are not allowed to be welded. Can we use A307 bolts as shear studs...

Hi all, I would like to know where i can locate the lap splices for special shear walls. I know that for columns the splices are allowed only on the middle height of the column, how about rc walls?? Thanks in advanced Les

ASCE7-10 was just released. It is available on asce website.

Thanks structuresguy, i will try your example .

Hi, i am trying to design a timber truss. I have applied dead, live and wind loads. The wind loads were not generated using staad, instead I created a load case type wind and input there the wind loads. After that i created the combination loads and designed the truss members. I have noticed...

Thanks csd72. But my english is not so good, please do you have any detail or image about the reinforcement coz i cannot understand it so well. Thanks again.

Hi guys, any of you have an idea of designing a staircase like the one shown in this website (the last one - ortopoligonales)? http://www.ip-3.com/escaleras.htm i have many doubts about the reinforcement, does it work? please if u have any detail please send it to me. thanks a lot
