If I have a parking lot to design with hollow core slabs I have the dimensions in the attached file.
If the panel is 12 X 12.6 m and I placed the direction of the hollow slab parallel to the 12 m span and supported at the 12.6 m span beam. should I design it as a one way or a two way ?
I know...
What differs between a special moment resisting frame and an ordinary beam column joints is that the first must have rigid joints "beam column connection". My question is how to achieve that ? Does anyone can give all the requirements to achieve it ?
Hello,
I'm designing a parking lot with prestressed hollow core slab and dropped beams.
But before I want to choose the preliminary dimensions of the beams I want to know how will the slab connects to the beam ? Like it's rebars detailing. Plus should I make the beam width larger than the...
Hello there,
Sorry my question seems dumb, however, in college (this summer ismy last semester to graduate)
They taught us how to design concrete elements like slabs, beams, columns, walls ... etc
And it's very easy because always the forces, moments, etc were given.
I have never encountered a...
Hello,
I've rented this apartment and hired some workers to put tiles on the ground and walls
After 9-12 hours I returned to the apartment and saw black marks on the tiles on ground and notice that the tiles on the walls don't have black marks.
I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask...
I've read the wind rose in the city I want to design for, and I got the results of this; 61 km/hr 1 hr/year
50 km/hr 8 hr/year
38 km/hr 43 hr/year
I got the average weight of these three values and I decided to design with 43 km/hr ( the average is 40.3 km/hr exactly )
Is it ok since the 61...
Hello
Could someone tell me how to know the directions in ETABS ? like sometimes it says bending moment 1-1 or 1-2 or 3-3
But how to know which one to use or what is the meaning of each notation ?
Hi
I'm modeling a symmetric building on ETABS for practice and I noticed that the higher the slab is the larger the deflection. I'm afraid that I have column shortening which results in cumulative deflections.
What can I do to check what is wrong ?
Hello,
First of all I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question but I see this is the best forum to answer civil engineering/ structural questions on the web. If I'm wrong then please ignore this thread.
However I'm about to graduate I'm in my final semester and what I like in...
Hello, I hope you all doing well. I wanna ask the people here who have experience in designing 2 way solid slab with beams (manual design).
What is the best method for analysis and design in terms of accuracy and ease ?
