I am evaluating an steel anchor chair design for a ground supported water tank using AISI T-192 (per AWWA D100). Within AISI T-192, it states if chair height calculated is excessive, a solution maybe to use a continuous ring at the top of the chairs. Minimizing the eccentricity is not possible...
Hey All -
I have a project where we have been asked to upgrade the anchorage for an existing steel surge tank at a hydroelectic plant. The existing steel anchors of the steel tank are inadequate to resist the uplift for the design event for seismic. The existing surge tank is more slender...
I have a situation where we are designing a cast-in-place reinforced concrete bioretention structure. The structure is a U-Shape structure with one side higher than the other (so it is acting as a retaining structure of sort). The water table is relatively high (the reasoning for the included...
At what distance from the face of the wall is it ok to assume the backslope "infinite" and disregard where the backslope is broken (and any surcharge associated with broken slope)?
For perspective, lets say you have a 8-foot tall retaining wall with a backslope at 3H:1V which is broken 10-feet...
Hello all,
I am relatively new engineer still learning the most practical and efficient ways of analyzing certain problems. I have been asked to do an initial check of the stability of a proposed design for storm water headwall with wingwalls. I was told to evaluate the headwall and wingwalls...
