Hello everyone,
I have a retaining wall 50 feet in length and around 7' high that will be going up against an existing retaining wall. It will be now holding back water that can be on either side. I will not be using the existing wall to take any of the loads but it will not be removed...
Hi,
I am looking at the concrete pedestal reinforcement in seismic zone D for uplift on a column base plate. The commentary on ACI 17.5.2.1 states that research for allowing you to use the design strength of the anchor reinforcement instead of designing for concrete breakout strength was based...
What would be the "best"/standard detail for bracing the bottom flange of a W beam when you need to brace for uplift (steel deck on compression flange). I am seeing some options but not really any standard.
I am trying to make sure I understand the bracing requirements for a steel beam. I have read many of your posts, however, I still am unsure of the following. I have a steel canopy with the largest span of 46'. I have designed the beam as fully braced (from the steel roof deck). I also checked it...
Has anyone ever had to get creative with post installed anchors to take shear and tension loads? I have a braced frame that is going to be installed on top of a 12" X 6' high concrete wall. I have a max. shear along the wall of 7.6 K and a max tension load of 8.24 K. Just curious if anyone has...
Has anyone ever designed a "tilted" diaphragm plate moment connection where the beam coming into the the column is tilted (beam is perpendicular to the roof deck)so it matches the slope of the roof deck ( flange is tilted from left to right) and the top of the column is cut to match the slope of...
I think I posted this is the wrong place so I am asking it here as well.
I have a few questions for a Steel frame canopy which is over equipment, etc. It is less than 35 feet high (14' high). I can use braced frames on the side and back but I need it open on the front. Therefore, I was going...
I have a few questions for a Steel frame canopy which is over equipment, etc. It is less than 35 feet high (14' high). I can use braced frames on the side and back but I need it open on the front. Therefore, I was going to use a OMF with pinned bases along the open side. It will be attached to...
