All,
Thank you for the replies and sorry for the delay in response. I've been working like A dog to meet this deadline. I have attached a drawing with my current approach...
I'm doing a project where I need to install a 16" chilled water distribution water pipe below an existing wall footing. The existing foundation wall supports an enclosed walkway one story tall(walkway walls above grade are concrete and i think the roof is timber). The walkway is about 8' wide...
Hi All,
I am the civil engineer on a project where we are installing below grade chilled water distribution pipe for a VA campus. A part of the pipe run needs to be routed below the foundation of an existing enclosed walkway (block walls concrete foundation and roof)the walkway is about 12'...
Thank you all very much for your responses. This has been bugging me for a long time and it is great to have other professional opinions on the matter. Greatly appreciated!

I agree.
I am in a bit of a stick situation as the client wants to keep this as a drop beam. I have also recommended a deep saddle type connection but that was a no-go for them too.
It seems like I have two options:
1. Run the beam as only being braced at each end and not the middle. This...
I am using forteweb to analyze a multi span LVL basement beam. The beam is a drop beam and is pocketed into the foundation walls at each end. The center support is a steel column. Forte has an input for bottom edge lateral bracing. I am assuming there would be no lateral support at the bottom...
Thanks for your reply everyone. I am a Licensed engineer with several successful site designs under my belt. Just had never Laid out gas pumps before and wasn’t sure if there were considerations for fire suppression among other things. It does make sense to take a look at existing layouts and I...
Better questions? Thanks I have already searched Google. Measuring one is a good idea but I don’t want to ruffle anyones feathers. Perhaps I could check one out that is closed.
Does anyone have a good reference to lay out gas pumps for a gas station? Like how far apart pumps should be, what overhang the canopy needs to be around the perimeter etc.
