I am aware of the required under British standards for the bend radius of the bottom reinforcement of a beam to start after the middle of the support. What if anything is similarly outlined under AS3600? I have seen reference to 12d PLUS cog from the face of the support but this would seem quite...
When checking for vertical tie requirements under BS 8110-1, it states that the tie force in columns "should be capable of resisting a tensile force equal to the maximum design ultimate dead and imposed load received by the column or wall from any one storey.
Would this mean that where there is...
Hi, A quick query regarding CFA pile installation. We are looking to pile some bearing piles adjacent an existing but temporary secant pile wall. If it was assumed that all pile tolerances were out by the maximum allowable then this would lead to the new bearing piles needing to be moved further...
Thanks for the replies.
I am only referring to worst cases for proportioned loads from pile tolerance.
Torsion in the 2 pile caps in the other plane (i.e. if both of out of place to the same side) I always deal with by providing tie beams or ensuring the slab is reinforced to resist this.
The...
In the UK, when providing loads for the pile designer is it expected that these allow for the impact of pile installation tolerances? i.e. for a 2 pile pile cap assuming that the piles can both be out of place by the standard 75mm (more with inclined tolerance depending on depth)this would mean...
Does anyone have any details or guidance on filling small voids around services through suspended RC slabs?
other than any fire collars etc what maximum sizes of voids would be suitable with mass concrete infill or particular mortars.
The infill would not be structural as such as the slabs...
When designing the horizontal leg of a shelf angle (hot rolled section) for a line load at the end with the vertical leg bolted to the edge of an RC slab, I would usually design for strength in bending based on the section modulus but could the plastic modulus be used?
