Hello all,
I am in the process of designing anchor bolts for tension (the shear will be resisted by base friction), I am only looking at bolt strength, not concrete at this point. For referance I am using "Wind Loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities". In section 3.6.1.1...
Hello all,
I'm looking for a clarification on the minimum reinforcement ratios for tied columns. I know ACI-05 10.9.1 states that the Ast for concomposite compression members shall be not less than 0.01Ag, then in the commentary I see it talks about the report of ACI committee 105 and a...
Hello all,
I have an existing block foundation which is 15ft by 7ft, not sure of the depth yet but let's assume it is 5ft deep. This footprint is fine to support the existing piece of machinery that is on it now, but it will soon be replaced, the replacement will have a larger footprint which...
Simple question with probably a simple answer.
I have always used the weight of reinforced concrete to be 150lb/ft^3. Although I am confident that this is a good density to use, I have a calculator that does automatic conversions and when doing a volume to density conversion it uses 111.11...
