Ok, so I'm looking for some details of how to transfer the forces in a bond beam that is disrupted by a W-shape beam at a reentrant corner. I have attached a crude drawing to show my situation. The bond beam that is parallel to the W-shape I'm going to weld rebar to the beam web and tension...
I have a situation where I'm using a wide flange beam as a shear collector for a diaphragm. The beam is parallel to meets a 10" CMU shear wall and I'm going to use the top bond beam to drag the shear into the shear wall. I'm going to weld a plate to the end of the wide flange with 2 headed...
I have a elevated hemispherical tank that I'm doing a seismic analysis. My question is how much does the geometry of the tank effect the convective and impulsive components of the base shear. I found the equations for the convective and impulsive components but they are for a cylindrical...
I am doing an analysis of an elevated chemical storage tank. Should the liquid be defined as a live load or dead load? Secondly I need some insight into the seismic design of the elevated tank due to sloshing of liquid inside (ASCE chapter/section reference would help). Thanks
