I'm not a geotechnical engineer, so I wasn' sure how to relate the uniaxial Compressive strength to shear strength. I asked an AI and it gave me the following response. Is it legit?https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e9d3f309-de11-4aa6-ac0a-54b5829de302&file=image.png
Hi Everyone,
I've never quite understood the concept of skin reinforcing. I understand it's purpose is to prevent surface cracks but I'm wondering if I need to supply skin reinforcing as well as flexural reinforcing. For context, I'm designing a retaining wall which has 25M @150 both ways each...
Hi everyone,
In the Wood Design Manual there's a factor Kzc which is used to determine compressive capacity of sawn timber columns. The equation is as follows:
Kzc = 6.3(dL)^-0.13 <= 1.3 or Kzc = 6.3(bL)^-0.13 <= 1.3 which ever is more
This factor is to account for the size of the member to...
Hi everyone,
I am designing a stoplog gain which is essentially a channel or in my case two angles bolted to a concrete wall which hold 10 x 10’s in place. See attached sketch.
In this configuration I’m loading the flange of an angle. I have sized the angle flange based on bending and shear...
Hi all,
I'm designing a footing for a Secan Building (uses a shipping container for two of the exterior walls). The Secan is supporting the roof load which produces an eccentricity on the container itself, see figure below. The forces in the figure are the reaction of one truss, and due to the...
