Hi,
Is there any rational design method for anchoring bars by welding them onto horizontal anchor bars and/or bearing plates? Alternatively, is there any good design reference that anyone could recommend?
We know it obviously works (else corbels would be failing everywhere), but I'm searching...
Hello,
I'm currently designing a truss bridge that consists on longitudinal stringers connected to transverse floorbeams, which are subsequently attached to the truss nodes. I have a feeling I'm overthinking the issue, but since Google hasn't given me a concrete answer, I'd like some...
Hi,
I have a question regarding an inconsistency between the AASHTO LRFD and the ACI moment magnification equations.
When calculating the critical buckling load Pc (ACI 318-14 Eq. 6.6.4.4.2 / AASHTO LRFD-2017 4.5.3.2.2b-5), one has to calculate an effective EI. To account for creep effects...
Hi,
What is the recommended method to estimate the lateral pressure coefficient k0 for compacted soils (for a culvert design)?
I am aware of the k0=1-sin(ϕ)×OCRsin(ϕ) equation, but I'm not really sure how one would estimate the over consolidation ratio for a compacted soil. Is there a...
I have a question regarding the design of the connection of a toeless rc retaining wall. I've seen this post and I'm well aware that the detailing of the joint for toeless retaining walls is more elaborate than just developing the bars.
Does anyone has a strut and tie model sample for fig 13-29...
