Good morning,
I am wondering if ETBAS and/or SAP2000 will automatically consider Live Load Pattern Loading, please see image attached.
CSI's website ( https://wiki.csiamerica.com/display/safe/Auto+pattern+live ) refers to it but for SAFE rather than ETABS or SAP2000.
Currently, we have a few...
Afternoon everyone,
I am currently analyzing an existing structure (filing room with 8" thick precast slabs).
I was fortunate enough to find load tables for Flexicore Slabs dated 1971 (8"x24" section). These hollowcore slabs more-or-less match what we found on site.
Flexicore based their...
Good afternoon.
I am working on a one story steel moment resisting frame in Ontario, Canada.
I am currently modeling and analyzing the structure in Sframe.
I am trying to understand why my hand calcs are not comparable with the FEA from Sframe. It's a simple structure with no irregularities...
Hi there!
I am having an issue with the Index/Match function connected to the Ceiling/Floor function - I was wondering if you could provide some guidance.
I could email you the SpreadSheet or I can try and explain it.
Here is the simple explanation;
(1) For these values, everything work...
Good afternoon Engineers!
I am currently working on the design of a flexible permeable pavement, (first time doing so). The reason to implement this material is to minimize, even eliminate, stormwater runoff.
According to TxDOT, I was able to come up with most variables except the Mr...
Hi there!
I'd like some assistance with Excel.
I'm designing a prestressed I Girder.
I'm trying to equate two equations to solve for two unknowns in excell.
The equations are.
-(P/A) + (P x e / Stop ) - (Mmin / Stop) <= Limit @ top
-(P/A) - (P x e / Sbot ) + (Mmin / Sbot) <= Lmit @...
Concrete Dam Stability.
I have a question regarding hydrostatic pressure.
Please see picture.
For purposes of the design, we will design in 1 meter intervals.
Let's assume that the toe of dam is set at 100 meters while the top of the dam (weir) is set at 105 meters.
Under sunny day conditions...
Hi There,
I wanted to know if anyone knows of a good Reinforced Concrete Design Book, a book that follows the Canadian Code and uses the metric system.
I recently graduated from FSU - but just moved to Canada.
I use as a reference the book I used in college "Design of Reinforced Concrete ACI...
Hi There!
I have some basic questions regarding Rebar Design.
#22 soft metric === #7 imperial
#22 Rebar (soft metric) - 300 MPa (Grade)
Diameter - 22.225 mm
Area - 387 mm2
I am confused on how to come up with correct values for "Shear Force" and "Tesile Force"...
This is what I am doing...
Today at a job site, we encountered a problem.
Our firm designed Cast-In place concrete piles with grade60 rebar-cages, standard design.
Typically, the stirrups are tied with wire-ties to the vertical bars.
In this case, the contractor welded the stirrups to the vertical bars @ 6'-0" o.c. but...
Good afternoon!,
I have a gravity-wall going into a column on one end and going into a lateral-wall on the other end.
The computer tells me that the wall has free-standing end where it connects to the column.
I have triple checked and the walls connects on both ends.
Why would the computer...
Good morning to all,
Is there a way to create "Wall Openings" on Gravity-Walls instead of Lateral-Walls?
I suppose Gravity-Walls are Load-Bearing Walls?, and Lateral-Walls are Shear-Walls?
Thank you for your help.
Good morning!
Error 1 - Wall #5 has free -standing end on Layout Type 1ST.
Detected at coordinates (ft) (33.8125,17.8125)
This will cause an error because it occurs under decking.
User Actin: Make one or more beams or walls frame into the wall end.
This is my first time using the software.
