This mean that I have to re-evaluate the soil or you are trying to say that the re-evaluation it has deal with the concrete electrical duct bank? Well, in the case of heavy equipment or traffic, this mean that I have to include heavy loads because the duct bank always in the most general cases...
I'm going to follow Focht3 and your's (dlew), both suggestions.
Well, I tried an evaluation using the spreadsheet, applying: the "K" value from the National Structural Code table, distributed load (dead, live and seismic) applying the Hetenyi's formula, and from that, I obtained...
The different loads acting on this beam are coming from the weight of the volume of earth that resting above the beam, the weight of others similar beam that are going to be placed just exactly over the beam, and the seismic forces. And the deflection of the beam by the acting earth pressure...
I read the Subgrade Modulus Reaction Thread and there is a discussion about the value of K. Anyone can take the most representative value of K from the Bowles book table, so its no problem to take off the correct value for the clay type soil applying from the reference. I'd rather use the value...
Ok. I'm trying to analyse a concrete beam but it isn't a common beam. It's a PVC conduit underground that is totally enveloped with a concrete casement. This casement is a concrete beam laying directly as a strip footing but it was desing without steel reinforcement. The beam analyzed has...
Hi, I have a question. I need to know if it is well done to apply the wrinkler model and use the Hetenyi formulas to calculate the structurals parameters such as: moment flexural, shear forces and deflexion, just in the same way established in the BOWLES, FOUNDATION ANALYSIS & DESIGN because I...
