    failing CHB Fence reinforced with retaining wall

    Thank you for your feedback.. The planned retaining wall is around 20meters in length and approx 1.5- 1.8m high.. There's a constraint on Segmental Gravity wall since the fence is near a building structure. Buidling and Fence is 1.8meters in distance.

    failing CHB Fence reinforced with retaining wall

    Hi! i would like to seek for advice. we have an existing CHB wall Fence constructed along our property line. adjacent to our property is a private residential house that is around 1.5-1.8 higher in elevation than our property. the area experienced heavy rains the past days and because the...

    rebars nominal strength

    Good day all. we conduct a test for strength of rebars used in our project. the maximum nominal mass per our standard is 6%. but the result of the test exceeds this maximum value. how will this affect the design?

    Effect of Corrosion on the Tensile Strength of Structural Rebars

    Good day, We have an on going construction, and while the foundation is being prepared, our contractor has fabricated the reinforcing bars. The thing is the fabricated steel bars are now corroded. It is very common that there are corroded rebars used in construction, esp. that after it is...

    Pedestal design with Moment and Axial Loading

    May i ask, in various textbooks Design of pedestal with axial loading is always discussed. How about for pedestals with axial and moment, where moment is much larger than axial load? I have read that it should be designed as beam for tension. Can you suggest reference for this? Thanks! Best...

    Electroplate or Primer Paints

    the standards used for these structures are hot dipped galvanizing, but it is not locally available in our place. if we will have it galvanized, it will take some time. is there some other coating material you can recommend?

    Electroplate or Primer Paints

    I wanted to have a galvanized finished in our mounting plates to be used for certain structures. Due to some time constraints, we are considering to just have it electroplated, but there is a suggestion that instead of electroplating, why not just use primer paints. May i ask your opinion...

    backfill material as soil foundation

    We will be constructing structures on top of a backfilled material of 2.5m. depth of foundation is only 1.5 m. is it ok that a foundation will just be laid on a backfill material and not on the original soil?(please see attached drawing) I fear that settlement might occur. please advise. thanks

    Design of Footing with very large moment

    Good day! I believe this one is just simple, what makes it complex is the large moment to be considered in the design. I have an anchored steel pole with base reactions M=220kN-m, P=28kN, V=14kN,. (M=moment, P=Axial, V=Shear). I have already design the pedestal to support the pole, my concern...

    Design of Column with very large eccentricty

    I am trying to design a column whose moment is very large and small axial force, eccentricty of which is roughly about 8m. I have read that it should be design as beam in tension. I have designed it that way, and is wondering how the bars would be arranged. Should the resulting number of bars...
