I have a project that is using channel embeds in grout filled bond beam. They are the new Hilti channels so they don't have any real data for them.
Basically, what I'm trying to determine is whether 3000 psi grout filled bond beam is the same strength as 3000 psi normal weight concrete?
I'm currently working on a project that involves a stainless steel mesh wall. Basically, it is a woven wire wall suspended with cables. I have the USS Wire Rope Engineering Handbook. I can calculate the tension on a cable with the wind load pressure applied and a deflection limit.
The issue...
I have a customer that is concerned about a possible reaction/corrosion with using Elco Dril-Flex fastener through a stainless steel strap anchor. It doesn't specifically state whether you can use them with stainless steel but the Dril-Flex does have a corrosion resistant finish.
I'm currently working on a stone panel job. Some of the stone is attached to the support structure with copper wire. I need to know the allowable tensile strength of typical copper wire. I'm having trouble finding the data.
