    Steel Erection Bracing at Tall Single Story Bldg

    I have a unique building - single story warehouse that is 210,000 sq feet that is about 85'-0" tall - and I am designing the temporary bracing for it for erection. My issue is that in the short direction of the building, the loads show that I need either (3) 3/4" diameter 6x19 IWRC EIPS Cables...

    Underground tanks subject to traffic loads

    Just looking for some background on how underground tanks resist traffic loads. This is still in regards to the problem that I have with a very large piece of machinery above some underground tanks (it is a thread on the 2nd page of the storage tank engineering forum), but I am looking for just...

    Brick Veneer Anchors with Concrete Backing

    Just curious how everybody attaches their brick veneer anchors to concrete backing, and whether they get the cracked concrete approved anchors. The code is silent on the requirements except that the veneer would be under Chapter 13 of ASCE 7-10, which requires all anchors to conform to chapter...

    Best software for designing Pile Caps

    Just looking for advice on the best software to use for pile cap designs with complicated loadings on them. I do a lot of tower crane footing designs, and so I will be doing footing designs with large mat footings with tower cranes adjacent to building columns and corewalls. I usually use Ram...
