I work on non building structures mostly QLD NSW and VIC. I understand registration requirements there. Other states not so sure and the IEAUST summary webpage isn't clear.
QLD - RPEQ required.
NSW - not required because rego only for multi residential buildings.
VIC - RPEV required. Extra...
Timber jetties I've worked on were all hardwood. What about softwoods in tidal water especially plantation pine? All good as long as double treated with CCA and creosote? Code allows untreated heartwood less than 20% of cross section. Should I go further and say no untreated heartwood? I think...
Clause 9.7 gives effective width for slab capacity. Is it ok to use the same width as the loaded length of a supporting beam? So a point load at slab midspan might be more like a udl on the beam if the slab span is long enough and the beam span short enough.
I'm getting cylinder results submitted that are all 1.6 to 1.8x f'c. Is there a code limit on exceeding f'c? Min reo check is ok.
If no limit, anything to know about lifting young concrete? It's hitting enough strength at under a day. Wondering if it hasn't gone off enough to be treated like...
What's the way to calc punching when there's moment both ways? DO you use V*/2 in 9.3.4 and add utilisation in both directions to be <1.0? Thanks.
And also, prestressed is the same as reinforced for punching?
AS3600 clsuse 6.3.2 (c) says to consider change in bending stiffness due to axial compression. The commentary refers to stability functions C and S and a book from the 1960s. Is this just p-delta between the ends?
AS3600 is also still written for software that can't do full p-delta analysis...
Flood load on a plate that is inclined to the direction of the current is taken to act in the ducting of the current. Wind load acts perpendicular to the plate rather than in the wind direction. Is this because wind is faster than some threshold where it causes lift rather than drag? If so, what...
