    Car lift post foundation

    Hi all, I'm planning on using combined RC footing for 2-post car lift of rated load of 4000kg. Do you recommend slab-on-grade 150mm thick with WWR, or my combined RC footing is more convenient? Also, is single column footing with pedestal is applicable?

    Bending moment at one-way and two-way solid slab intersection

    Hi, please find the attached file. The gridlines are as follow: X: 0,4,4,4,8m Y: 0,5,5 The picture displays moment isolines for gravity loads for DL and LL ultimate combination. Is it reasonable to have as much as 58.5 (metric units) at one-way and two-way solid RC slab intersection? And...

    cantilever sheet piling wall penetrating a granular soil

    Hi all, I tried solving Example 14.1 in the Braja M. Das "Principles of FOUNDATION ENGINEERING" textbook using Mathcad, but the results doesn't seem match the manual calculation. Please find the attached file. I tried solving it using soil pressures rather than soil net pressures used in the...

    Excavation support

    Hi all, Please find the attached image. The building has 2 basement floors+ 2 floors (used as shows)+ 4 typical floors (used as flats). The mat foundation is 800mm thick. The basement floors are 3.6m high floor-to-floor each. My first thought is using piles for excavation support. My worry is...

    HSS truss bearing on wide flange column

    I wonder how one can detail HSS truss bearing on wide flange column. My thought is welding angles on sides of HSS, welding cap plates over wide flange columns, and bolting outstanding legs of the angles on cap plates over the wide flange columns. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.

    The Jacobi Method

    Hi, Re Example 11.9 from Klaus-Jurgen Bathe's Finite Element Procedures textbook, in first sweep, I could get big lambda and big phi, in second sweep, I could get big lambda, but failed getting big phi, in third sweep, I could get big lambda, but failed getting big phi, Does this make sense? How...
