    Long term deflection

    what is the long term deflection limitation for the two way concrete slab? ACI 9.5.2.5(ACI 318-99) EQ 9-10 is too confusing, is any quick way to get the allowable deflection limitation to compare the result we got from ram concept?

    punching shear

    Acturally the architect doesn't like drop panel or concrete capital idea cause he doesn't want to use ceiling to cover it. Now it leaves the shearheads. I'm not familiar with that, how much it can help, if we use shear head, then the column spacing can go 29.5' with 9" concrete slab? Is any site...

    punching shear

    The design is just starting. The client is really not happy increase the thickness of the slab and suggested shearheads. Is that going to work? Acturally the deflection is fine but the puching shear around the column fail after we considered the unbanlance moment.

    punching shear

    We have 9" flat cast-in-place concrete slab with concrete columns. Because the parking garage in the first floor and the basement, the column spacing has to go 29' apart. According to ACI, the minimum slab thickness should be l/30, which is about 12", but client doesn't want to use that much...

    design software

    We have a project 14 stories cast-in-place concrete building with shear wall. Try to model it using software, which one is the best now in the market. So far we are thinking about ETBS or Stad.
