Hello,
I'm in charge of designing an anchoring system for a 8,5' wide x 48' long x 8'-11" trailer. The system is only supposed to resist loads caused by seismic and wind action, dead load is taken care of by the trailers own supporting system (basically the wheels and an additional support)...
Hi,
I'm currently responsible for the design of a manufactured home foundation, the client wants to have it supported by a perimeter grade beam which at the same time is supported by piles. I'm having a hard time coming up with a way to confidently analyze the foundation system due to several...
Hello,
I'm currently designing the foundation for a manufactured house with an 18" crawl space. The client gave us some typical drawings of their past projects and they use a perimeter wall that covers the crawl space basically. For me it seems like a pretty good choice for this type of house...
Hello,
I'm looking to evaluate the feasibility of using helical or screw piles for the foundation of houses on a pretty steep hillside (about 30º). My initial assumption is that it's definitely possible, I've seen some constructions that have been done in that manner but they seem to be pretty...
Hello, I have two doubts that have been bothering me for a while and I can´t seem to find any information about them, the first is about what is done with grade beams when they go through construction joints, and the second is about grade beams that in the direction of the slope of the terrain...
I'm in the middle of a design for a sign, the foundations actually, but I'm not very familiar with US codes and talking to an experienced engineer he suggested I use AASHTO for the determination of the wind loads, the thing is I can't seem to find an AASHTO code that's not about bridge design...
