Hi folks,
Hi recently start a new job in the field of deep foundation and i'm looking for a good textbook about earth pressure and deep foundation. Give me your favorites :)
Hi guys,
I'm looking for the reference of the formula for the Maximum allowable compressive strength for deep foundation (piling) according to ACI standard. The formula is the following: Pult = 0.75*0.85*0.75*Ac*Fc'+0.7*Asnet*Fy. The reference for the formula in service is the ACI 543R-00 2019...
Hi Guys,
I need your input on something, I'm currently working on a warehouse, the foundation above ground his 8'6" high, and the exterior wooden walls will act as shear walls (we designed them to do so), there is no floor to laterally support the top of the foundation. So my question is since...
Hi guys,
I designed a slab on ground with uniform loads + linear loads on it on SAP2000 and I found the results intriging.
uniform load: self load, SDL=1 kPa, LL=1.9kPa.
line load on the perimeter (factored): 42kN/m
line load on the red zone (check picture)(factored):26kN/m
soil subgrade...
Hey guys,
The other I was designing a continuous beam LVL (3 support, 2 pins one roller) supporting floor joist in wood sizer, and I noticed that when the beam is flush (continuous support on top and bottom) the negative Mr was the same as positive Mr BUT if the beam was located under the joist...
Hey guys,
Hi have a monolithic slab to design for a costumer, 2 storeys, residential building, 75 kPa soil capacity and 30ftx30ft. My question is how should I tackle this ? Should I use a strip of 1 m for the inside part and design it like a strip footing (a mix of one way slab design and...
Hey guys,
I have a situation there, a costumer called me for an evaluation of structure and the building is in bad shape, a lot of abnormal stuff i.e. steel beams not laterally supported on more than 34 ft, crushed joists, but the weirdest thing is the slab on the ground (non structural) there...
Hey guys, a good costumer of me call me and ask if I can design a self supporting helicoidal staircase, I have no clue how to handle this , do you guys have some literature to refer to me about that...
Hi guys, I am currently working on a old building where the owner had some issues with a W beam supporting one storey of masonry (mortar joint start to cracks), the masonry can’t sat directly on the beam so I add some stiffeners at each 16’’ c/c with a L section welded on them, but that will...
