I have been previously rejected by a plan reviewer for having slab steel bend to bottom of footer. They ambiguously stated that the detail violates ACI but i cannot seem to find this restriction.
In that note, how would this recessed shower detail be corrected?
I always thought you would be able to see tension rods from the ends of the beam if it is prestressed, but i was told by a contractor that is not always the case.
There is an overhanging T-beam that we want to cut but someone pointed out it may be prestressed and not a good idea. I suppose the...
Hello
Can someone tell me if my simple check on this shear wall is reasonable?
I am checking for tie down of shear wall to the foundation. (of course I also check the shear component)
Also, if this check works out, is it reasonable to assume that the wall diaphragm isn't taking half the shear...
hello everyone
I am having trouble with this type of analysis for a small structure (attached diagram)
I am going off a example i found in a book. When i get the value of Vmid, i am comparing it to the lateral capacity of the sheathing. (for the exterior)
What do i do with the interior? i am...
hello everyone
can you guys please provide me with reference material for the installation, design, etc. of these topics:
- Boilers/ pressure vessel systems
- Condensate piping
- Low temperature refrigeration
- Piping for lift stations
- Piping and installation of gasoline tanks
- Gas...
Hello All
I am using Accuload for cooling load calculations for a home. What i am having an issue is how would i accurately simulate the walls that are adjacent to an unconditioned garage? It is obviously not exterior so the sun isn't beating down on them, but it is abutting a warmer area.
I...
It's been so long i've worked on structural, i can't believe i'm in need of assistance for something so (seemingly) basic
I am analyzing a simple 2D frame (two walls, two rafters, one joist, two interior braces). Pinned connections at base.
When i run the analysis, i obtain rational stresses...
I am looking for confirmation on what this statement means above the C&C results:
"All pressures shown are based upon ASD Design, with a Load Factor of .6"
I am to simply multiply my table of results by 0.6 for use in designing connections, or was the factor already included in the results?
I...
i did some heat load calc for a structure that is 100x50
it was a warehouse converted into night club with 284 occupant load.
bare walls, regular doors.
the existing ac system is two 7.5ton units.
this is the calc results:
220k btuh heating
636k btuh cooling
not looking for specific design or anything.
I recently got my electrical engineering license, but I have little experience.
I'd like some tips or maybe a quick run down on what needs to be done.
For instance, if someone is moving his machinery from one warehouse to another, what would I need...
i bought this book for motor controls but its way too detailed. I just need something that has examples and/or videos that explains how these work.
from what i found on youtube and the textbook, i could not use that knowledge to answer the spinup PE sample test questions on this topic
Hey everyone.
I'd like some tips on bode plots. Here is an issue i have,
I haven't seen an example of a scenario like this:
H(s) = [1+(s/0.5)] / [1+(s/0.3)]
or
H(s) = [1-(s/5)] / [1-(s/3)]
or
H(s) = [1-(s/0.5)] / [1-(s/0.3)]
the issue here is the denominators have decimals and the terms have...
i know students aren't allowed, not sure if test takers are not allowed either. (tried to find this in FAQs)
Anyways, i am having an issue regarding a problem i saw. It says to calculate what capacitor must be added in parallel to a load in order to counter-act the line impedance and keep the...
I can't figure this out reading the ASCE 7-10
Are pressures different say between:
- 10th floor windows/roof-covering in 10-story tall building
- 10th floor windows/roof-covering in 20-story tall building
(sometimes from the design, you see shingles or membrane covering at other places...
Hello,
I have the ASCE 7-10 but could not find an answer to my question.
Do you need to consider the ENTIRE building when coming up with the load calcs?
For instance, a hip roof home with flat roof over open patio in the back.
for roof calcs on the flat roof, the average height of the...
