In ACI 318-11 commentary, I have found the following in regard to dowel action in shear transfer, which is removed from ACI 318-19, in addition to shear friction.
However, I am not getting why dowel action is expressed as AcK1 which has nothing to do with dowel bars? (I don't have reference...
Below is a section of the transfer structure I am working on. The transfer slab is going to be 400mm PT.
I am getting large moment at the bottom of internal transferring walls as you can see from the picture below.
Above is a 2D model but I have created a full 3D model and considered the...
Given that for continuous concrete beams the moment generated at the supports will normally exceed the cracking moment Mcr of the beam, isn't it a must to increase the design bending moment & corresponding reinforcement at mid spans generated from a elastic frame analysis?
Can anyone please...
Is there any limit for the length of the precast panel legs next to opening? I have seen some people specify 600mm while some make it 300mm despite that their loads are quite close. I would argue that as long as the N-M satisfies (ligs provided if required) and there is no problem for...
Hello,
Below is the plan view of roof structure for a residential jobs, which is 6m x 9.4m x 4m high.
The yellow lines you are seeing is the c purlins @ 1200 cts while the blue ones are rafters.
Wall bracings are placed under rafters and structs
Now I have an horizontal deflection issue about...
I have this job that the ngl is higher than the ground floor and I am facing this issue that whether to add another retaining wall near the site boundary or not. Please see below.
I am thinking cut & fill - batter the soil shown in purple and construct the piers. Then backfilling after the...
