I'm just wondering how many of you would agree to and use jack stud for resisting wind loads acting on o/h door (in my example). Lintel is located right under the top plate. Let's say by the design I need 3 king studs to resist my wind forces and one jack stud to support lintel. Since my jack...
Good day. I'm designing a manure pit wall and it mostly acts as a flexural member resisting lateral loads from manure and soil. it spans vertically as it is supported at the top. The wall is 8" thick and I have reinforcement on both faces due to stress reversal. My question is, do I need to tie...
Good day,
I'm designing a spread footing foundation for pre-eng steel building and some lateral load cases drive the dimensions of my pads up because I'm trying to avoid negative stresses at footing-soil interface. I do it only because most of the related literature tells so. One thing I'm not...
Good day,
I'm looking to find out how to calculate force acting on continuous lateral support of the column against buckling due to axial load acting on a column. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Good day. I'm going to design a building with 6ft cantilevered foundation wall supported by cast in place piles. Foundation wall will support wood studwall. Loads are not going to be huge (building is 40ft wide). I'm wondering how to approach wall and wall-to-pile connection design. I assume...
