I'm Working on checking the sliding for a retaining structure that is in a high seismic zone and I have issue with the sliding. Tried to add shear key but thigs get worse because after adding the key, both passive and (active, surcharge and seismic earth pressure) increased, but the increases of...
Should we add the seismic forces due to own weight of seismic structure (Eh and Ev) to the dynamic seismic earth pressure force when we check the stability, especially if the own weight is significant? The used method for determining the dynamic seismic earth pressure is Mononobe-Okabe. Any good...
Hello,
Does anyone know a good reference and examples that explain how can a hollow reinforced concrete beam section(rectangular or circular)that is subjected to flexure and shear be designed? Does ACI address this kind of beam at all?
Thanks!
Hi everyone, just trying to know when shall I use Alignment Chart vs. using the approximate values of effective length factor K shown in AICS table C-A-7.1? Appreciate your answer.
Thanks,
Hello Everyone,
Just received a project where several types of wall will be used. One of the walls is conventional (standard) MSE. Would like to clarify, who shall provide the design of the concrete panel in terms of the thickness and reinforcement? Also, who should design the steel strip...
Hi Everyone,
I have a project in lake Michigan and it’s basically a marine dock fixed on piles in lake Michigan. I’m trying to calculate the uplift force on the piles due to the ice. The historical ice thickness is 30”, pile dia. is 12”, pile height above the lake bed is 14’ and it has an...
