Hi all,
When are we supposed to use vertical acceleration during say Response Spectrum Analysis?
UBC-97 has an amplification factor of 0.5CaI that needs to be added to the dead load factor during LRFD.
When using ETABS, I am confused whether we need to apply this factor if we are scaling our...
Hi all,
has anyone got a reasonable explanation of the difference between the frame end length offsets and insertions points in ETABS?
I have to model a simply supported beam resting on a corbel at the column face, this eccentricity will generate an additional moment on the column centroid...

Hi,
Can anyone guide me to the sections of British Standards similar to Appendix D: Anchorage to Concrete of ACI codes.
I need to compare the pullout and breakout strength provisions of ACI and BS.
Thank You
Hi,
Can anyone provide me with a resource or point me in the direction of one for the design of precast prestressed beams according to Eurocode? I have been looking all over the internet but so far have not found anything of note.
As an entry level engineer new to the field of design, can someone suggest any resources to consult for the dynamic and seismic analysis of structures?
Thanks in advance.
It is understood that there are different failure modes for columns depending upon the relative magnitudes of the applied bending moment and axial load. I am listing them down:
1) Large Axial load, negligible bending moment: failure by crushing of concrete, rft yields in compression
2) Large...
I am designing a blast proof RC Wall for a Grenade Area (the soldiers are going to practice throwing grenades at the wall). The issue is that I have been unable to find a good resource for impact force produced by an exploding grenade. Can anyone help me on this? From a similar experience? What...
It is commonly believed that effective prestress will always be less than initial prestress because of the different losses that occur after concrete has hardened. I am working on a pre-tensioned beam design and using the software Concise Beam for this purpose. The results show an INCREASE in...
