Hi Guys,
I am currently designing a rather slender column with a very heavy load on it, Upwards of 1MN. I just wanted to ask people's opinion on designing this column for minimum moment.
Due to the size of the column the minimum moment eccentricity exceeds the allowable tolerances stipulated in...
Hi All,
Does anyone know if some of the nodal geometries shown in the document 'strut and tie model design examples for bridges' complies with the Australian code. There are some geometries woth stepped nodal faces and nodal faces that are unstressed. To me this doesn't seem like an issue but I...
Hi all,
Has anyone used INDUCTA RCC for column design recently (with the AS3600:2018 code incorporated)? I have currently run a few column designs using it and noticed that the decompression point calculation is wrong. Now I just want to confirm if it is actually wrong or if I am missing...
Hi all,
Regarding the new concrete structures code, can anyone guide me towards resources that can help me understand what is happening with the shear calculations. I know how to use them but I don't fully understand the mathematics behind them (for example what is the kv value exactly and...
