@jayroad, Yes i would not go with a depth that does not go well at lateral or downward push or uplift. In few cases, my post is good at all 3 conditions at shallow depth but I have to go further deep embedment for frost consideration. My concern is whether I can still stay good for steel post if...
Yes. i meant that pile driving machine cant go further as hit a hard bedrock.
I have same question further as jayrod12, "what about frost heave from adfreezing grabbing the sides of the pile and popping it out of the ground. I'd be inclined to be more worried about it."
Thank you for your...
Dear all,
In case of foundation design, steel pile and concrete pier embedment is kept larger than frost depth.
How does one approach a situation where refusal is encountered, even before frost depth is reached.
Is it fine to keep foundation at lesser depth than frost till it is fine...
Dear all,
I am working on a solar parking canopy project with steel beams and columns and light gauge purlins on top.
What is the path of Load transfer for seismic force in such frame.
Can i apply the total seismic force equally applied on nodes connecting purlins to main frames Or...
Dear all,
I have been working on design for mono slope steel frame canopy for a solar project.
Was wondering if unbalanced snow load is applicable for mono slopes as found it only in cases of gable roofs so far. If it is not applicable, is there a specific reasoning.
Further, same...
Dear all,
For my research work at University of Cincinnati, which is a sponsored project by National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) ,USA, we are compiling information on debonding of strands in prestressed concrete Girders.I was wondering if there is any prevalent...
I am a graduate student (Structures) at University of Cincinnati and currently starting with my thesis work. I haven't really come up with a concrete idea but is planning to work on "Optimization of steel structures considering semi-rigidity of Connections" . Could anybody please tell me the...
