If I have a force going into a hinge and hinge into a cantilever column at an angle - will it cause torsional buckling? Other than shear and bending I'm wondering if I should also account for torsion also.
I've sketched out the structure in the attached. There are 2 hinges and they're connected...
Hello,
Obviously steel rebar within concrete has its benefits and uses. But when or why would you choose to use a box or c shape steel section and fill it with concrete?
Hello,
I have a miter gate which will act in cantilever .. but I'm confused about the forces acting on the gate and the likely modes of failure. The geotechnical failure modes make sense. But with the gates hanging at an angle to the supports - are they like to experience torsion/buckling...
I'm looking to reduce CO2 in my concrete however I need a concrete that achieves its strength fast.
I've been looking at fly ash, cemfree and Cemex Vurtua however, they all appear to have slower curing times.
Am I missing something? Is there any concretes that are lower CO2 but will achieve a...
Hello,
I'm very new to retaining sheet pile walls. I'm assuming that if a pile refuses or bridged over a utility for example that the force is shared between the longer piles on either side? Or is this not exactly the case?
If it is the case, if they're not strong enough to take the additional...
I have a connection for a flood gate that needs to be attached to a concrete pillar.
Logically - it seems that the connection needs to be further away from the concrete edge to avoid cracking, than that you would calculate if it was a rebar and nominal distance.
Therefore, how do you...
Is clay stronger than granular i.e. if you were to assume a conservative value for soil strength - would it be right to assume purely granular as a worse case scenario? (As a finger in air assumption prior to procurring GI)
Hello,
I have GI report which states the ground condition as made ground. And shows in most locations no cohesion. However, the permeability is quite low at 1x10-6 m/s.
So I'm confused - on the one hand it suggest a granular type material but on the other suggests there should be quite a bit...
Hello,
I'm trying to calculate the piping FoS and heave from a flow net.
I've attached the below but it was a quick sketch just to lay it out (please ignore scales/accuracy etc. - I did this for the purpose of this question). There's no sheet pile or toe in the embankment, though the...
Hello – I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following problem:
I am using Wallap for the first time and have come across something strange. The design is a propped retaining sheet pile wall.
The bending moment and displacement diagrams indicate that it is free earth support...
