    Overturning Moment OMF vs SMF

    @HTURKAK thanks for the advise @KootK sorry i forgot to mention that my main concern is the design of the foundation .. now that you have mentioned it. In some structures that have large height to width ratio .. if using an OMF category for R value .. the foundation would rather tip over than...

    Overturning Moment OMF vs SMF

    Good day . I have been wondering why is it that the overturning moment for OMF building is far greater than the SMF building although they would have approximately the same mass? Code is UBC 97 , and ASCE 7-14 Is there a limit for the overturning that would give the same results to both...

    Hooks for single mat footing , cantilever beam

    is it required for a single mat footing to be hook at the ends of the Rebar? I have seen some engineers practice those kind of procedure. . but is it really required? and also is it required to hook all top bars of the cantilever beam at the tip of it?

    Two way slab ? Top bar column strip alternately continuous or all continuous ?

    thank you so much BAretired. . I have seen the latest minimum requirements I thought that the temperature bars are not included in the ACI skecth. . . hello KootK . . do you mean that the bottom bars of the two way slab is enough for the temperature bars? correct me if I am wrong KootK. . the...
