    Concrete block chimney

    Got it. I'll grout it all solid and bump-up everything accordingly. These are standard blocks, yes. The whole thing gets stone veneer.

    Concrete block chimney

    Why so tall? Architects! I had looked at it tying into this two-tiered porch which has a steel moment frame for lateral bracing of the chimney AND porch, but the columns I was using are "too big" because they'll conflict with the remote control roll-down screens. Like I said: architects :D...

    Concrete block chimney

    Hello all, I know this is probably a pain, but I have a 42' free-standing (abutts a two-story porch) chimney 32"x72"and am looking for design examples etc. Does anyone know of any good resources for designing partially grouted cmu boxes?

    Existing pipe below new slab on grade

    Probably depends more on the overdig for the pipe than the pipe itself

    insulating a structural slab

    Thanks for the reply. I think High 40 and it's cousins give a higher compressive strength (which we'll probably want), but not a higher R-value.

    insulating a structural slab

    Greetings all, I'm new to these forums although I've checked out a few threads over the years and the time has come for me to jump in. This isn't technically a structural question, but I think this is probably the place to get some good feedback. I have a project that involves a structural...
