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...
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...
I am a structural engineer by trade, but have a situation where a contractor needs to operate a heavy tracked equipment above a fuel tank buried in soil. All I have been told is that it is UL 58 rated, but this is likely an older fuel tank since the location that it was placed was built quite a...
Design a structure on piles in a coastal environment subject to liquefaction and just had some basic questions on pile design in general:
1) What code governs steel pipe pile, H Pile, or concrete filled pipe pile design. Reading old threads on Eng Tips and they talk about a corrosion...
So I am checking a water reservoir (Square 5000 cubic meter capacity) and checking it for seismic loads. I am curious if there is a code reference on what percentage of fill of the water reservoir is appropriate to consider with the full seismic load. Presumably, this reservoir would fill up...
Just curious on whether there is seismic design values for Africa. I have a repair project that I am doing on a concrete structure, and just want to check for seismic loads, and curious if they were available. A quick google search hasn't turned up anything useful.
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...
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...
