Hello,
I would think the corrosion rate is very low in a closed airtight galvanized steel container containing liquid mix (40% water and 60% antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol)). The container can have 50% air and 50% the liquid mix or so. The tank size is about one meter cube and this needs to be...
I am trying to measure structural damping value (For the First mode of vibration) of a steel pole (pipe Section) with Logarithmic decrement method. When I excited the pole, the excitation axis is changing. It is mainly because the circular section have same stiffness about all axis passing...
For Type II Shear wall with OSB panel sheathed on the both sides of the cold formed stud wall, Can we double the capacity and calculate as per the code that is mentioned for the Type I shear wall. The same clause is also explained in the commentary where it does not say for any specific Type of...
This may be silly questions but may not be at the same time.
I want to use concrete tension capacity. Say, you have 1m diameter 30 Mpa concrete. Steel anchors at middle that load the pile into tension. The pile then resist load through skin friction with soil. Say the pile have minimum rebar...
Hi,
I don't think there is specific emebedment minimum depth requirement for screw pile to work other than frost depth and uplift capacity requirement. But I am not 100%.
I got a project, minimum torque specified was 80,000 ftlb and depth of installation was around 24 feet. But contractor was...
Hello !
I have to design a slab on grade foundation for a small shelter. I have attached a sketch for this. The load due the shelter will be only around 30 KPa. If I design the slab for cantilever action that can cause due to frost upheaval, do I still need worry for some other stuff? It's no a...
IF we design a plate based on ultimate limit state method, the stress on shell element with elastic model on SAP2000 can give higher stress value than yield stress. To compare design approach and modeling approach, may be we need to model the plate using layer nonlinear shell element.
However...
