Hi,
Anybody familiar with CSA 086 regarding shear wall framing requirements for double bottom sill plate at base of shear wall and foundation connection? What would be the reason for this?
Thanks
Quesetion: if column vertical bars has clear distance between bars at 175mm between one tied bar and non-tied bar exceeding code, what would be the cause of concern here? is the bar going to buckle once we are >150mm? we had noticed this one a site visit
code states: ties shall be arranged so...
i suspect this maybe a quick answer but just wanted to confirm a general consensus,
if core walls are wind governed we would not need to provide fig. R18.10.6.4.1 - development of wall horizontal reinforcment in confined boundary element, where it states that reinforcing can be a straight bar...
Hi Guys,
my factored load is about 232 psf (11kpa), for a triple span floor deck that is 38mmx0.91mm thk P3615/P3606 canam deck of spans 1800mm has a capacity of 7.45kpa, now if the slab is considered composite with the beams I have a capacity of 20kpa, I do not need composite action for my...
For very thick transfer slabs 1500mm and greater, do you guys find it excessive that the developement length of say negative reinforcement over columns (regular supporting columns, not transfer columns) are made excessively long due to the dvCot(theta), for very thick slabs this number is...
Hello everyone,
I had recently reviewed a slab and mentioned in my site report that the stud rails were too high and may stick out of the slab however the contractor never followed up with it and now the heads have no cover, it’s literally flush with the top of slab,
I still think the stud...
why is it that the consulting sector in Engineering generally is less lucrative than other industries such as Finance Consultants? and compared to other sectors such as oil and gas, EPC, utilities, generally are less lucrative? I feel like as structural engineers there is alot more risk in what...
Hi All,
regarding transverse (minimum orthogonal reinforcing along each face of deep beam) reinforcing do we need to develop the horizontal reinforcing into the supports similar to tension ties? and for the vertical direction do we need to have stirrups? or would hooking them at the bottom/top...
contractor has wanted to pour 1700mm dp transfer slab in two lifts, first lift being 900mm dp and second lift being 800mm dp, horizontal shear is minimmal as the horizontal shear plane is quite close to the COG of the entire 1700mm section.
but they had also mentioned that the slab will be...
