Hi! i would like to seek for advice. we have an existing CHB wall Fence constructed along our property line. adjacent to our property is a private residential house that is around 1.5-1.8 higher in elevation than our property. the area experienced heavy rains the past days and because the...

Which is a better method to get degree of compaction of soil? Sand-cone method or Nuclear density method? Thanks.

Good day all. we conduct a test for strength of rebars used in our project. the maximum nominal mass per our standard is 6%. but the result of the test exceeds this maximum value. how will this affect the design?

is it ok the lean concrete serving as base for a structural concrete is lower in strength than the structural concrete?

when do we use rebars in concrete road?

Good day, We have an on going construction, and while the foundation is being prepared, our contractor has fabricated the reinforcing bars. The thing is the fabricated steel bars are now corroded. It is very common that there are corroded rebars used in construction, esp. that after it is...

Good day Geotechnical Engineers! I would like to ask which SOIL TESTING METHOD is highly reliable for the Purpose of POWER SUBSTATION CONSTRUCTION? Your advise is highly appreciated. Thank you.

May i ask, in various textbooks Design of pedestal with axial loading is always discussed. How about for pedestals with axial and moment, where moment is much larger than axial load? I have read that it should be designed as beam for tension. Can you suggest reference for this? Thanks! Best...

Can STTAD software be used for designing the foundation of a utility pole structure?

I wanted to have a galvanized finished in our mounting plates to be used for certain structures. Due to some time constraints, we are considering to just have it electroplated, but there is a suggestion that instead of electroplating, why not just use primer paints. May i ask your opinion...

We will be constructing structures on top of a backfilled material of 2.5m. depth of foundation is only 1.5 m. is it ok that a foundation will just be laid on a backfill material and not on the original soil?(please see attached drawing) I fear that settlement might occur. please advise. thanks

Good day! I believe this one is just simple, what makes it complex is the large moment to be considered in the design. I have an anchored steel pole with base reactions M=220kN-m, P=28kN, V=14kN,. (M=moment, P=Axial, V=Shear). I have already design the pedestal to support the pole, my concern...

I am trying to design a column whose moment is very large and small axial force, eccentricty of which is roughly about 8m. I have read that it should be design as beam in tension. I have designed it that way, and is wondering how the bars would be arranged. Should the resulting number of bars...

We have a distribution Transformer of 2.8 X 1.5m, we will replace it with a new transformer whose base will need to be 3.3 x3 m. we intend to use the existing pad. is it ok to just put some dowel in it and just extend the existing pad?

there is a plan to construct a 100m long,3m high concrete cantilever retaining wall, does this necessarily be a monolithic pouring, or its ok to have it segmental , by how many meters?

ASTM D 1194 is a Withdrawn standard, as stated in astm.org site. what does this mean? is there any other equivalent standards for Plate load test method?
