Hello,
The existing timber roof beam in 18/20 cm - the span is 6 m.
The existing beam will be reinforced with additional timber beam beneath and steel channels as shown in the attached image.
Question: can reinforcing elements start/end at the face of the support (drawing A) or it should...
Hello,
how would you calculate shear force between panels?
Is it OK to use horizontal force (seismic force or wind) on top of the wall (shear force of the single wall)
and make a truss and tie model - the compression force in vertical element (joint between panels) is equal as shear force...
Timber roof - main frames (arranged at 6,5 m) - glulam beams b/h = 200/1000 mm supported on RC walls.
On top of glulam beams are timber beams b/h = 100/240 mm arranged at 1m.
Can this beams be considered/act as lateral supports for glulam beam buckling verification?
Thank you for help.
Greetings,
Bolted connections:
It's clear that connection 2 is a moment connection.
I'm wondering if connection 1 can be also considered as a moment connection since both bolts are bellow beam flanges?
Greetings!
I am dealing with a steel channel that is placed at the edge of concrete slab.
Since there is a 160 mm thick slab bellow a channel Im wondering how to design/calculate this
for shear forces? I was thinking to use the short corbel model (strut and tie model),
but Im not sure. I dont...
Hello
Exisitng residental building has strip foundation. New part of building will have foundation slab. I'm wondering what is the best way to connect both foundations?
New structure will be connected to existing on all levels: founations, slabs, roof...
thank you for your reply
Hello, I'd like to ask about concrete stairs.
Is it possible to make it work without a column as shown bellow?
All walls are masonry walls so no cantilever action there.
Existing timber beam doesnt have sufficient shear capacity.
What is the best way to reinforce this? I was thinking about steel plate + epoxy glue.
As far as I understand shear force will be divided based on stiffness of both elements (timber/steel). Connection between steel plate and timber...
Hello
Residental building, the interior RC slab in not at the same level as the cantilever slab.
The cantilever part is non walking surface - only self and permanent load + snow load + wind load.
Can this be reinforced properly so it could work even tho slabs are not at the same level?
Dont...
Greeting,
I'm dealing with an existing residental building with masonry walls and RC slabs.
I figured there is a bearing wall in the middle of the slab span - load from this wall acting on a slab is pretty large.
Slab is only 140 mm thick and is not sufficient for current standards.
What can...
I am designing a new concrete slab on top of existing arch ceiling - steel beams are 1,50 m apart, masonry arches between. Spans are not that large but what I am strugling with is how to achieve that the new slab wont transfer any load to existing ceiling? Before concrete pouring I was thinking...
HI!
I would like to design this staircase, but have some issues/question about modeling:
Is it okay to support RC landing on RC beam/corbel that is anchored to the concrete wall as shown or is there a better way to design this?
Also can I use bottom (1st) stringer to support landing? Everything...
Hi, I have a question about shear reinforcement of RC beam.
I found a project where shear reinforcement of beam consists of 2 U shaped bars. I wonder is this even OK since this bars should be in tension but they are short - I know they overlap but still? Is this kind of detail more like...
What is the best reinf.detail so you get a good moment transfer from balcony to the inner RC slab?
Is what I draw any good?
I'd like to see some opinions and suggestion.
Thx.
Hi,
What is the best way to make this connection? Should there be a steel plate integrated in concrete beam so you can later weld steel column to it?
Or is it better to weld steel plate on column first and then anchor the whole thing to concrete beam (before starting the second floor)?
I...
I am dealing with an existing RC slab that is 200 mm thick and is reinforced sufficiently.
But concrete cover at the bottom is only 10 mm. Slab is inside residental buidling so it is not exposed to the weather.
What to expect when concrete cover is that thin? What is a smart thing to do here?
Well hello!
I have existing concrete slab - it is only 140 mm thick.
Reinforcement is sufficient for self weight only - No top reinforcement, bottom reinforcemenet just sufficient,
I'd like to add screed and other layers on top - so permanent and imposed load will be increased.
Since existing...
Greetings, I have a question about pinned/fixed supports.
Let's say we have two moment frames and I modeled column's supports as pinned. Because of that I have designed a footing to axial forces only.
Now contractor made them fixed (based on detail bellow). As I know this means that footings...
Greetings, Not my field so I have to ask...
I have RC wall 250 mm in thickness (basement) and above it is RC slab and a RC column 300 x 300 mm in upper floor.
Ancors (rebars) for column are installed in RC wall. Since wall is 250 mm thick and column is 300 mm (concrete cover is the same for...
Not my field so Im gonna ask perhaps a silly question.
Lets say we have a residental building with 2 storeys and 2 RC slabs. Would you design this as a single beam - case (a) in attached file or to consider the same beam as a part of RC frame - case (b) or (c)
Im asking this because internal...
