Thanks for your concerns JAE.
Again as I tried to explain, this is an ag building, working with farmers. So the first quote was simply an explanation of why I am trying to design or evaluate this. This is what the contractors usually build and are asking to build again in this situation. In a...
Building is 250’ x 100’
This wall is on one of the 250’ lengths of the building. Has a mid frame support column at 50’. frames are all 25’ o.c.
On the wall section of the building;
Highest horizontal force is 7.9kip, highest vertical is 29.5kip. Greatest Uplift is 8.8kip.
Yes there is a floor slab, at the base of the wall.
The steel building sits on top of this 4’ wall with the opposite side of the building sitting on 4’ concrete columns.
This is just one side wall of the building. The other steel columns of the building are supported by isolated, identical drilled piers with 4’ column above grade. The building reactions have horizontal, vertical (and uplift) reactions, there is not transverse support other than soil pressure on...
Sorry guys, to add a bit of context. I am a licensed PE, and the eor. I work 99% with farmers and agriculture projects. We’re a small engineering group and don’t claim to be structural gurus by any stretch. for lack of a better explanation, typically whatever the contractor wants to build who’s...
Hey everyone,
Looking for a little guidance on what to do here. Application is for a Footing for a 250’ long steel building with columns 25’ o.c. Building is designed by others, I have the load reactions already. client would like to do drilled piers 4’ deep, 24” diameter that bell out to 4’...
