i WOULD JUST LIKE TO inquire if the Impulsive acceleration and convective acceleration base on AWWA D103-09 is at service level or at strength level?
specifically
Ai = Sai I / 1.4Ri <-- Eq 14-16
Ac = Sac I / 1.4Rc <-- Eq 14-17
What does the 1.4 stands for? is it reducing the...
Hi im new with STAAD,
I'm currently designing a circular foundation to support a steel tank, I included the steel shell in my model and applied my hyrdostatic and hydrodynamic within the shell tank. i noticed that I'm not getting much reaction at the foundation due to the later forces applied...
how do you design the footing on a buttress wall? would you be designing the slab as a oneway slab? negative moment towards the buttress wall? if so, hope could you compensate the negative moment that the wall will experience as my slabs moment will be travelling to the walls.
Hi guys,
i was trying to design a combined footing, and i notice that the reaction that im getting due to seismic is positive in one column and negative in the other ( due to the direction of the siesmic, in reverse if the direction is changed). since they have a couple reaction due to siesmic...
Just a quick question, assuming that Durability factor (Sd) is already attained, Sd will be multiplied to the factored moment right and not the service moment?
second, after multiplying the Durability factor to the factored moment, now you can design with the required reinforcement...
hi just like to inquire some insight pertaining to wall out of plane shear.
Based on ACI 318-08, out of plane shear shall be design same as slab and footing ( ACI318-08 11.9.1) where Vc is calculated based on the perimeter of it's critical section for shear, using STAAD plate analysis I would...
Hi I am currently trying to design a a tower column for my suspension bridge overhanging to a platform, so to support the column I'm thinking of putting it on top of the corbel, but my worry is i might be missing something, or maybe there is a better approach in designing it. (DESIGN CODE : ACI)...
